new DRY PLAN PUT
BEFORE THE SENATE
Committee Votes For PrOhid-
tIOn After January !.

Washington, July 9.-Legislation to
prohibit the sale of distilled liquors,
wine and beer after January /, 1919,
and to prohibit the manufacture of
wine and beer after November l next,
was agreed upon by the senate agri-
cultural committee.
This is proposed as Il substitute for
the pending Norris amendment to the
emergency agricultural appropriation
bill. The Norris amendment would
stop the sale of distilled liquor and
wine on June 80, 1919, and prohibit
the manufacture of beer three months
after the bill becomes law.
The changes had been discussed for
a number of As. When the commit
tee met action was virtually by unan-
imous consent without a record vote.
~ fixing a definite date after which
the sale would be prohibited Of all
intoxicating liquors, members of the
committee believe any charge of dis
elimination would be avoided. They
say wine growers would be enabled
to dispose of this years crop, while
brewers could make use of their en-
tire supply of malt.
Provision for the expectation of
liquors already produced was consid
cred by the committee. 1t probably
will be reported in some form before
!he senate acts on the amendment.

CORN AS A WAR CROP
by Prof. J. r. Cox, Dept. of Farm
Crops, Michigan Agricultural
COLLEGE,

From standpoint of value, corn is
Mtchigan's greatest crop. It's acreage
Is greater than that of any other grain.
The dependence Of the dairy industry
, On the corn crop Is evidenced by the
anunerous silos characteristic of Mich.
tyAn's dairy districts. The success Of
livestock production depends directly
On successful Corn growing. No other
crop will produce as much feed per
acre as corn where adapted.
Under present war conditions. corn
ia the greatest wheat substitute. Every
sear Of corn produced means that much
moro wheat sent to our army and al
dies.
Tho vigorous and successful prose-
Fcution Of the great war In which We
are engaged demands the utmost In
sue way Of crop production. Food
production has never before in history
gained a military value of such i'm
t0ortance. The corn crop Of America
s,s called upon to carry the brunt Of our
se6ort to supply war needs.
II Is today fully realized that the
farmer engaged In production, who
~exerts himself to his utmost regard.
Tess of risk or profit. il rendering q
service in q measure az truly neces-
ssary and patriotic as the man at the
front.
Let us keep in mind, however that
the soldiers fighting for us must work
harder than men have ever worked
before in the face of injury and death.
Let us work as hard on our Job here
an they will work for US "over there"

TODD producers to answer the coun-
try's call for food, in the same spirit
that her sons have answered the
presidents call to arms.
