THANKSGIVING AFTER TRIAL

Among other things that the war
has done TO benefit the Nation, it has
served to jog us out of our state of
cOmplacency and make US think. 1t
takes deep suffering as well as joy
and prosperity to sound the depths of
mans nature and create a truly noble
spirit.
If the people of country prosper
without any drawbacks, they are likely
% grow fat and lazy in both mind and
body. The war has served as an
awakening for the American people.
While We have not been in the \.
long enough to have it penetrate TO
the very core of our beings, yet there
is little doubt but that every pc. son
who thinks at all has been touched
and has had his mind quickened and
livened by the thought of the mighty
forces struggling for their ideals.
With our emotions and minds stirred
up in this manner, We will perhaps
feel more strongly the true spirit of
Thanksgiving than we have in tn.
complacent years of the past. We
have passed through crisis and vic
tory is ours. Strengthened by our
period of trial and suffering, we can
render thanks with fervOr from the
depths of hearts full of feeling rather
than from superficial emotions of
hearts surfeited by the possession of
too many of the good things of life.

DO NOT RUSH

SELL NE CROP GRADUALLY
% Yh0e 10 Surplus it Muss Do

ton Next Year.

In q recent speech on the cotton
situation. Clarence Ousley, Assistant
Secretary Of Agriculture, said that 40
be sees the situation mo calamity
impends IL we do not lose our heads"
and that he Ia more concerned about
the gathering of the crop than about
dispoeing of 1t.
He offered a solution, even IL there
Ia . surplus OF from three to four
million bales. and says:
III every farmer who raises 10
bales Of cotton will put two In the
warehouse and sell the remainder by
installments from month to month
throughout the winter and spring in
stead OF forcing 1t all on the market
at one time. the difficulty In even Its
worst aspects will disappear"
He thinks that IL there is surplus
OF cotton this year 1t must be alb
scrbed by reduced production neAt
year. Furthermore. he points out
that the Government did not ask for
90 large crop, and that in all fair
ness this fact must be recognized. the
crops having been produced because
the Southern growers refused to
heed the warning Of agricultural lead
ers and economists-L. 8. y. Press

FIELD SELECTION OF
SEED IMPROVES CORN
Mush More Profitable Than Selecting
From the Crib In Spring.

Seed corn should be selected from
stalks standing where they grew. De-
eause only then, with certainty. can
seed be obtained from
Stalks that have a tendency TO yield
well. as shown by the superiority over
surrounding stalks that grew under the
same conditions. Such seed 1nherits
high producing power.
Stalks without suckers. Sucn seeo
produces fewer suckers than SEEDS
from sucker bearing stalks.
Storm proof stalks with ears at
desirable height.
Seed corn should be selected as soon
a IL natures. because
Desirable stalks. especially early ma
turing stalks with hanging ears are
then most easily found.
Warm. wet weather may cause kef'
asls to sprout before drying.
II the selection is delayed the ears
may become infested with WeeSis'
Grain moths, and their eggs.

Sweet potatoes should be sorted in the
field and gathered in padded baskets

should be loaded on the wagon, hauled
to the storage house. and the potatoes
carefully placed In the bins. When
they are to be hauled very far. wagos

Sweet potatoes should never be

SUGGESTIONS ON
SELECTING SEED CORN
Field Selection of Seed Means Greater
Yield and Better Corn.

Field selection of seed corn is of too
much importance to be left to the ay-
erage laborer; it is almost always a
good plan for the farm owner to SUI
pervise the work A great deal more
2Orn will be pulled than is needed, and
= should be reselected in order to get
The ears that conform to a type.
There is no argument that can be
used against this kind of seed selec-
sion" says A. F. Kidder, professor OF
agronony, louisiana State University,
ebecauee II means more corn and bet
cor corr. When field-selection OF seed
becopes more generally practiced In
LouiAsna some of the money that our
farmsFY are now sending to the corn
belt will remain at home.
1.-THE ear should be from four to
five feet high on land where peas are
20 be sown In the corn.
Long shanks and good ears are SCI
dom found on the same stalk. the
shank should be sufficiently long. how
ever. to allow the ear to bend over
when mature.
"All ears of corn not covered o5
shuck are apt to be damaged by oIacs
weeyil and the corn ear worm.

issue will arise from more extensive in.
terventon at Murmansk.
Besides probable military action in
the north. economic aid is likely to be
extended to Siberia by the United States.
The Presidents mind has been tending
for some time toward sending assist
ance in the shape of agricultural ma
chinery, clothing and transportation
equipment to Russia. And it Is now un-
derstood that at a conference just held
with some members of his cabinet. the
policy of sending economic aid to Russia
was adopted. Even this aid may not
reach further than Siberia. Penetration
even of an economic sort beyond Siberia
involves difficulties. 1t is reported that
the Bolsheviki leaders do not favor it,
believing either that it wells subsequent
military intervention or that the coun-
ter-revolutionary forces will profit by
It.
In Siberia the Bolsheviki forces seem
to be losing ground. The State Depart
ment today had news that the Czecho-
Siovak forces had beaten the Red Guards
and captured 1rkutsk.
Apparently al the extremities of the
empire. as at Murmansk and in Siberia,
aid from the Allies will be welcomed.
In the capital there is no room for
doubt. Moscow is reported to be quiet,
but suffering gravely for lack of food
