PLANT SWEET coRN,-Here is a
suggestion worthy Of>the widest pos
sible publicity among readers of The
Day Book and all other papers
throughout this country.
Plant sweet corn and either can or
dry it.
Sweet corn is one of the easiest
crops to raise. Considering the
cost of seed and work required for
cultivation and harvesting, sweet
corn provides an unusually good re-
turn for either the farmer or amateur
home gardener.
If 100000 American families this
year will each plant one acre Of sweet
corn and either can or dry that which
is not consumed during the summer
months, the doing of this one thing
alone will provide one of the best
possible bulwaTks against a possible
food shortage.
On my fathers fruit and seed farm
in California our family used to dry
from 200 to 500 lbs. of sweet corn
each year ana among all the mem
cries of the many good things which
we stored up for winter consumption
none stands out more wildly than
the sweet, appetizing flavor of this
one product.
It is not only one Of the easiest and
best of crops for the farmer OF gar
dener to raise for home use, but in |
case this country has a large army in |
the field next winter an additional !
supply of several millions of pounds |
of canned and dried sweet corn will |
make a most palatable and substan-
tiaI contribution to our army's COM
missaTy department. !
Let every family able to do so raise
an acre Of sweet corn and either can
or dry the surplus.-Louis A. Damon.

Deadlines beyond which enemy aliens
may not pass were established yester-
day BY James Power. United states
marshal for the Eastern District OF
New York along the waterfronts OF
Brooklyn, Staten Island and Long
Island. Descriptions of the forbidden
waterfront zones, with a duplicate list
of the enemy aliens registered at the
marshal's office since the issuance OF
the Presidents proclamation Of April
6. will be delivered to the public to-day.
Marshal Power said last night that
thousands OF cards printed in both
English and German viii be distrlb-
uted, beginning to-day, throughout the
FIVE counties in his district. These
cards warn enemy aliens to keep away
from areas where signs are posted.
Twelve unnaturalized Germans have
been arrested by deputies of Marshal
Power since the Presidents second
proclamation requiring another regis
tration. All of them were picked up
along the waterfront and have been
interned temporarily at Ellis Island.
