REDUCING SOFT CORN LossEa

The 1917 corn crop is very poor In
quality. Much of it is soft, so soft
that 1t fails to keep in storage. re-
cent crop report from the United States
Department of Agriculture indicates
an average condition of 1872 for the
1917 corn crop over against an "a per
cent average for the last ten years;
this valuing mature corn at 100.
Early frosts and cold, late growing
seasons are responsible for much Of
the soft corn loss in the corn belt. We
cannot control the weather but by
proper cultural methods, we can hasten
maturity Of the corn by from one to
two weeks, thus ripening the crop be-
fore the arrival of disastrous frosts.
Cutting short the growing season II
the crop seven to fourteen days will
in the majority OF cases, make nine
ears out Of ten marketable instead Of
two ears out Of three as during the
past season.
Proper Varieties Essential.
One great cause for the large amount
Of soft corn produced Is the planting
of varieties which are not adapted to
climatic conditions under which they
are grown. In COR fervor for bigger
crops, we have often gone South for
large yielding varieties which require
longer growing seasons than prevail
In most sections Of the corn belt. Most
of these varieties are large-eared and
weigh heavily because they contain a
larger percentage Of moisture than our
northern grown varieties, and thus
mislead the farmer but not the grain
dealer, for much Of the grading Is dose
on basis Of moisture content.
Balanced PIantfood Insures Crops.
Perhaps the biggest reason for the
large amount Of soft corn produced In
1917 and in other years, Is the lack
Of sufficient available plantfood in the
soil to give the crop a quick start to
enable 1t to take advantage of every
growing day and to properly fill the
ears and hasten maturity, All other
conditions being equal, the use Of suffi-
eient amounts Of well-balanced, avail
able plantfood will shorten the grow.
ing season Of corn crop from ten to
fourteen days. This ten to fourteen

The Superior Horror Of THIS World
War Was Caused by GcrmAny's At
utude Alone.
This country deliberately used the
whole affair as a pretext for a de-
liberate war OF conquest, spoilation
and plunder, following up a policy
Germany, or rather Prussia had ad-
hered 10 since the days Of Frederick
the Great, leading first to the prac-
teal subjugatlon of all German
states, including Austria and the non
German nations subject to this lat
ter empire. Now II started out for
world dominion, and. avowedly the
kaiser was desirous of following the
course of Alexander, the Romans
Napoleon and his august ancestors.
There is no better and clearer
document exposing all this, in so far
as 1t was not known already and
refutinE all assertions to the con.
trary than Llchnowsky's famous
memorandum, showing how on Ger
many alone, lies the guilt of this

time: America would have been next.
For this long decided upon venture
the Sarajevo murder only gave a
welcome opportunity.
Here. however, practically the
entire civilized world arose in pro-

the violation OF Belgium and the
subsequent submarine outrages. This
Is the great distinctive difference be-
