corn specialists, cure is impossible.
Corn that was selected wisely in the
field where it grew, that matured nor

will grow and produce satisfactorily
Because there is such scarcity of
seed corn in some sections of the corn
belt, the United States department of
agriculture urges that farmers in this
and other sections be careful not to
feed corn that would be more valu-
able if used for seed. To the detri'
ment of the 1913 crop some corn suit
able for seed is being used to some ex-
tent by farmers who have enough seed
for themselves. This is especially re-
grettable because the corn is frequent
" adapted to conditions and is not
great distance from where it will be
sadly needed for spring planting.
Get Seed Best Adapted.
Ordinarily seed corn should not be
obtained from distance. The incest
looking seed may be entirely unadapt.

there is but little ''hold over" the
frost-stricken and drought-stricken
areas must get their seed from other
points. It should be obtained from a
locality having similar climate, and
obtained now.

few bushels of q 9O-day corn which
terminates well, let your county agent,
your state experiment station and the

M|LLERS MAKE BIG
PROFIT OFF FLOUR
Prices Continue to Show Excess
Over Figure Set BY
Hoover.

Although the Minneapolis millers
were forced to make a reduction in
the price of flour when the National
Non-Partisan league placed evidence
Of their proiteering before Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover, there is good
reason for believing that they still
are continuing to make profits far In
excess of those allowed by their agree
lnent. Estimates by Non7Partisan
league investigators show that on
Jan. 26, 1918, the Minneapolis millers
probably were making an excess prof.
it of from So to IS cents on each
barrel of flour.
War flour in SO pound cotton sacks
was selling at the rate of $1,000 a
barrel on that date. The cost OF the
wheat necessary to make barrel of
flour was $9.46. The cost of manu-
facture was not more than 70 cents
and this is a liberal estimate. Prof
it's allowed by the United States gov
eminent on -four and the mill feel
by-products should have amounted to
26.6 cents q barrel. The feed by-pro-
ducts from one. barrel of flour
bring $1.O6 at present prices. De-
Quoting this from the gross cost, $1o.'
426, it makes the net cost of barrel
of flour 1896 including the legal prof
it. This clearly shows that the mil
lers are making an illegal profit o.
at least SO cents on each barrel of
flour.
Profit Two Ways.
AS matter of fact they probably
are making much more, for the Non-
Partisan league also has evidence
which shows that protiteering is con-
tinuing in the price of mill feeds. The
governments recent regulations fixed
the price of bran at no more than 80
per cent of the price paid for wheat.
Wheat at $2.15 per bushel, and this
is the extreme high price, costs the
millers $71.6O ton. This should make
the price of bran $27.23 ton. The
market price on Jan. % was $3.50, an
excess of $5.27 over the figure fixed
by the government.
The same excess profit is shown in
the price of standard middlings, flour
middlings, red dog and mixed feeds.
Nor is this all. When the govern.
ment set the price on -four and mill
feeds, -four contracts at then existing
prices were to be cancelled on Dec. 25,
1917. But feed contracts were not az
fected In other words, country deal
ers who had been hustling to get con.
tracts at any price because of the con-
dition of the market, were forced to
continue buying at the old prices de-
spite the reduction ordered by the
government.
The millin,:: combine intends to en-
force these contracts, legally or other
wise, the The Northwestern Miller,
the organ of the milling combine, in
it's issue of Jan. 2, 1918, says:
Advises Black List.
eff any buyer attempts to cancel
or lay down on contracts, the millers
should put him on the blacklist and
refuse absolutely to let him have any
more -four or feed"
When the government reduced the
price of wheat, the farmer was CON-
PEELED to live up to the drastic re-
duction without delay. But the Mime
apolis milling combine, four months
after the price of wheat was reduced,
still manages to make illegal profits
on both flour and mill feeds and prac-
tically defies all the governments
rulings.

WHOLE OATS ARE DANGEROUS
Good Feed for Poultry, but Huiis May

Oats is good poultry food. There

The termination test of seed corn Is
more important this year than ever be-
fore because good seed corn is scarce,
and because the best seed is needed in
order to produce the large crop which
this nation will need. Even where
seed corn has been carefully gathered
and stored it should. be thoroughly
tested in the spring before planting.
The best way to do this is to make
a seed corn testing box and test one
hundred ears separately.

The sale of cider" that so-called

RACE FOR SENATE
UNDERSTOOD In SAVANNAH THAT
HE WILL RETIRE FROM CAM

FEAT is CERTAIN.

SAVANNAH, GA, May 81. Reports
which have every evidence OF reli-
bility and which have reached Sava-
nah in the last few days are to the
effect that Senator Thomas W. Hard
wich will not offer for reelection.
Savannahians who profess to know
Mir. Hardkick's intentions say they
have learned on the best of author
ity that the junior Senator had de-
cided not to risk a humiliating defeat
and therefore, will not go before the
people as a candidate again.
Recently it has become apparent that
the fancied Hardwick strength about
which so much was said few months
ago does not arise according t oper-
sons who travel a great deal in Geor-
gia ana who have opportunity to learn
the sentiment Of the people.
The extent Of his popularity is
said to have been brought home to
Mr.. Hardwick very forcibly in a num-
Der Of ways in the last few weeks and
this doubtless accounts for his decision
to retire to private life, it is eX-
planned
Savannahians WHO have been in the
country districts have been amazed to
learn just how offensive tie junior
Senator has become to the people in
sections thaGt.sWera ..slippasedl Ss.tses be
T4ardwick strongholds. In the very
counties which were reputed to be hot
most pronounced feeling against him.
This is fact on whish nearly all OBJ
servers agree. 81
The manner in which the Harris SEN
timent has swept the state is said
to have bfoufht Ifardwick to con
seriousness Of the hopelessness OF his
case. While Hardwick has the reputa-
ton OF. being a scrapper, persons who
have had occasion recently to hear
from him say that he is unwilling to-
fiaunt himself in the face Of the public
opinion as it now exists in Georgia.
There have been reports that Hard
wick had a great many supporters in
Savannah, but if they are here they
are remaining discreetly silent. Mem
bers of the William J. Harris Club
have interested themselves in finding
out whether there we're any Hardwick
followers here, and they have found
there are very few and that these are
not admitting openly that they intend
to vote for the junior Senator.
