SAVE THE SEED CORN
Exhibit at the State Corn
Show

No time in the past has been
more imperative than the present
for the farmer to select and to
save an adequate supply of seed
corn. The bad results from poor
seed which often necessitates re-
plarting are familiar to every corn
grower. in the campaign for
grea ter food production no
chances should be taken in regard
to the quality of seed corn. The
only way to be sure that seed corn
will grow is TO husk it before
freezing weather and place it in
a dry, we'll ventilated room where
it should remain until thoroughly
air dry. Seed ears should not be
placed in bins, boxes or barrels.
but hung up in such a manner that
the ears will not touch while dry
ing. Hence, as husking progress
es each farmer should select and
preserve at least twice as MANY
seed ears as Will be required for
his planting next spring. He
should do this for two reasons.
First, the larger number of ears
will enable him to make a closer
selection for the better type of
ears for planting. Second, it will
provide some extra seed to sell in
the spring. There is always more
or less of a local demand for good
seed corn. Last winter and spring
over $50 carloads Of corn were
shipped from Delaware to north
ern and western states for seed
1t is doubtful whether another
similar area i'm the United States
was able to furnish such a quaint
ity of germinable seed under the
conditions that existed last year.
Delaware played a very important
Part in. relieving the seed corn
shortage of 1917.
Another object in selecting seed
early is to provide ears in suitable
condition for exhibition purposes.
At the Annual State Corn Show it
is often noticed that many of the
samples are immature, condition
which prevents the sample from
tak'ng a premium. It is the object
IF the Corn Growers A ssociation
to further the interest in selecting
and caring for seed corn as we'll
as to develop and promote new
varieties. The winners at the State
Corn Show have usually been
those who have paid close atten-
ton to the selection and maturity
eff the seed ears.
This year the 18th Annual State
Corn Show will be held in Bridge
willie, Delaware, January 18th to
18th, 1919, in conjunction with the
Peninsula horticultural Society.
Owing to the national demand for
greater food production this will
be the most important agricultural
meeting in the state and it is hoped

LET HOGS FEED
THEMSELVES
Providing Pasture Cuts Cost
of attening

The hog raiser, whether he has
2 or 200 pigs, who provides pas
ture for them whenever possible is
the one who makes the production
of pork most profitable.
The raising of rapid-growing,
.heavy-yielding forage crops, such
as soy beans, cowpeas, clover, etc,
to be fed green to live stock in
stead of depending upon the ordi-
nary pasture crops has long been
advocated by the United States
DopalItment of Agriculture. Hog
Cling down such crops has been
practiced most successfully by ex-
perienced hog raisers, who find
that this method, aside from re-
ducting the cost of producing
pork, also reduces the labor ma
teriailly. When hogs are permitted
to harvest these crops for them
selves repeated demonstrations
have shown that there is no waste,
which lis an objection that is often
raised by those who have not tried
the plan.
Let Hogs Harvest Corn
Hoggfng off corn has been test
ed thoroughly ait several agrlcul-
tural experiment stations and by
practical hog ra.sers, and the prac-
t:ce is strongly recommended.
Corn alone is not a satisfactory
hog ration. Where the crop is to
be hogged off, some other crop
sho,lld be combined with 1t.
Pumpkins seeded at the same time
as the corn, soy beans or coWpeas
seeded in the same or in alternate
rows with the corn, and rye, rape,
or Sow beans seeded ait the last
work;,ng of the corn have all been
used with satisfactory results.
With cne of these combinations no
other grain ration is needed put
If there is no other forage grow
ING i'm the cornf cid, some concen-
trat,e. such as tankage, coW-pea
meal or m.ddlings, should be ted'
n Iis advisable ito start the hogs
oraIdua]ly. for a few days, with a
isttra green corn before turning
N em into a field of corn to hog IT

when the grain is denied or glaz-
ed. 1t Will take about one month
for IA to l6 hogs, weighing $50
pounds each, to hog off an acre of
corn which would yield 35 bushels.
1t lis net advisable to let the hogs
have access at any time to more
than they will clean up in 10 days.
Alfalfa is perhaps tine best of all
green fcr2ges for hogs. 1t starts
growth early in the spring. If kept
moderately grazed or if moved at

mer. Alfalfa will not stand close
grazing with hogs. If grazed, suf-
ficient acreage should be allowed
SO that at least one, and preferably
tw"p cuttings for hay may be made
each season. Such light grazing
does not seem to iniure the stand.

 THEIR RETREAT UNDERPRESSURE
SOissons Retaken and Valley
 of Crise Crossed. Day
 One of Success for the British and French
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 2.-Soissons has been retaken and the valley of the Crise has been crossed.
 The allied line tins evening runs from HCmmieres to Soissons, thence to Bel leu. the valley of the Crise, Chacrise and Arcy- -Restitue. through the center of the forest of Nesles to the village of the same na ne and through the center of the forest of Reims to Lagery, L'Hery and Tramery. North of the last named three places French cavalry has advanced another mile to Bois le Moine and Treslon Prouillet is still in the enemy's hands, in flames, and further east, near Reims Thillois has been re- taken.
 Enemy Devastates Country
 The day was one of continued suc- cess for the armies of Generals Mangin, De Goutte and Berthelot. All along the line the Germans have been forced to hurry their retreat, especially in the west and center of the salient. The enemy is completely devastating the country as he retires, carrying out the settled German policy.
 The French are now on the edge of the plateau betwen the Crise and Vesle after an advance which at some places was three miles deep in seven miles of Fishes. The enemy. it now seems certain, must retire to the Vesle and very probably to the Aisne The Germans are in retreat on all sides of the salient between the Aisne and the Marne. On the west the French and British troops. continuing their push of Thursday, have reached the valley of the Crise. little river which joins the Aisne at Soissons
 Abandon Chaudun Plateau
 The Germans. therefore, have aban- doned the whole of the Chaudun pla teau between the Coeuvres and Crise valley.
 This ground has been a desperately disputed battle field for weeks. It had been swept by the German heavy guns

SHOWS WSPROCRESSOF
 ALLIES MORE RAPID
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The latest news from the battle front received up to 1:30 this afternoon shows that the pro- gross of the allies has been more rapid today, the troops having made an ad- vance of from two to three miles on the whole line between the Ardre river, southwest of Reims, to the hamlet of Taux, about 6A miles south of Sois- sons.
 The Germans are burning villages east of the Ourcq behind their lines.
 The allied line now runs one mile north of Ville-en- -Tardenois to Romig- ny. thence to Aougny and Vezilly; south of Coulonges by Fere- Chateau to Arcy and Droizy and thence to Taux.
 A previous account, received during the day. drew the new allied line as running south of Villers Agron, through Goussancourt and the Reddy Farm (the latter a mile north of Cierges) past Seringes south of Sapo- nay. through Crabaille, Servenay and CordouX south of the Plessier wood, through Contremain and west of Tigny.
 The advances of the French troops west of Fere- en- Tardenois give them possession of the whole ridge from the Plessier wood through the Arcy wood. Thus they command the valley of the Crise, which is the gateway to Sois- sons. They also have won improved gun positions, makin~ it easier to in terfere with the German transpor- l tation.

 BERLIN, (via London), Aug. 2. The Gewnan official communica- ton issued today dealing with the fighting of Thursday, says that the allies between Soissons and Fere- en-Tardenois suffered complete repulse and failed to gain terri tory.
 British and French tanks which crossed the front German lines and reached the heights north of Beugneux were shot to pieces, ac- cording to the report.
 "On the battle front there has been desuItory fighting" says the official statement from general headquarters this evening.
 Between Soissons and Fere -en- Tardenois the enemy yesterday continued his useless attacks. Strong artillery duels preceded these attacks which were directed in the morning against our front on both sides of ViIIenmontore and in the afternoon extended as far south as Hartennes. They were repulsed before our lines, some times in hand to hand fighting. Here the enemy once again sui fered complete failure, without any gain in territory.
 Bringing the strongest forces divisions attacked in the early morning action, British and French divisions attacked in the early morning from the line north of Grand Rozoy and Fere- zen Tarde- nois. On both sides of Beaugneux their tanks, crossing our front lines, were able to reach the height north of this place. Here our artillery shot them to pieces.
 Between CramailIe and Fere- en- Tardenois attacks by the enc my's infantry, in strong force, and tanks broke down before our lines. Strong enemy firing be- tween Fere en- Tardenois and the Bois Neunierc was followed by in fantry attacks only north of cier- ges. They were repulsed."
 Quiet reigned on the rest of the battle front. In Champagne we have been successful in forefield engagements south of Mount Fich tel and east of Suippes. North west of Perthes, in local thrusts we pressed the enemy back out oi his front lines. and north of Mesnil repuIsed partial attacks by the enemy.
 "Yesterday we shot down IA enc my airplanes. Our bombing ma chimes were very active during the night and destroyed among other things a big French ammunition depot north of ChaIons."

PARIS. Aug. 2.-tHavaS Agency).- Attorney General Merillon summed up in the high court of justice today the governments case in the trial of Louis Malvy, former minister of interior in several French cabinets.
 The attorney general said NJ. Malvy was not a traitor as Leon Daudet. leader of the royalist association. and editor of L'Action Franchise had de- clared. He contended that the former interior minister had really not be- trayed his country.
 The attorney general said he did not wish to compare M. Malvy either with Bolo Pasha or M. Duval. director of the Bonnet Rouge, both of whom were shot as traitors. and that he would withdraw tEe charge of treason in Malvy's case.
 Attorney General Merillon main : tained however, that NJ Malvy was partly responsible for ceria:n mutinies in the French army and he stated tha, the former minister shoul, t.- pun. 1 ished in this connection.

 TRIUMPH FUR ALLIES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Unshaken resolution to go forward to the final victory increasing confidence because America has joined in the great con- flict and prediction of complete tri- umph of the allied arms were voiced today in a series of statements from leading Englishmen, on Great Britain's part in the four years of war ending August 4. The statements. issued by the British bureau of information, fol- low in part:
 By the Earl of Reading, British am- bassador and high commissioner at Washington:
 "The fourth anniversary of our entry into the war finds the nation stern and resolute. Success and reverse have been met with the same unflinching fortitude. and never has the spirit of the people been finer nor their confi- dence higher.
 Will Never Give Up Fight
 'In every sphere of war activity, the men and women of Britain are taking an ever increasing share. However long may be the duration of the war. the British people will, in common with our allies, never give up the struggle for the freedom of mankind.
 Coupled with that spirit of stern re- solve is the feeling of very real grat- itude to America for her aid to the allied cause
 "The day is dawning; already the bright beams of the su of liberty are piercing and dissipating the clouds of | tyranny and despotism."
 By Sir Henry Babington Smith, as- sistant commissioner:
 -Four years of war have taught us hard lessons, but our determination re- mains unshaken. Nothing can be more potent for steeling our resolve and strengthening our confidence than the Knowledge that America is fighting side by side with us.''
 By Brigadier General w. A. White. commanding the British and Canadian recruiting mission in the United States:
 They Welcome America
 "We rejoice that America is in this fight and this year she is there witk the men and the guns, so that at last thestide is turning. Just as the fourth of August. 1914, brought the final con- summation of Franco British friend ship. so the fourth of August, 1918. may be regarded as the last word in the Anglo American compact
 By Sir Charles Gordon, chief of the department of war supplies of the British war mission:
 Since my arrival in Washington about year ago, I have had an op- portunity of observing the great prep arations for war which have been made by the United States and have noted the three stages through which hey have passed.
 It may now be said that the third period has been reached, when the un- bounded resources of the United States Ire being quickly developed to such a ioint that all requirements will soon oe taken care of
