Minnesota Formers are
Expected to SaDe 1000,
600 Bushels Seed Corn

The Minnesota Seed Corn drive will
be staged between Sept. 10 and 20.
A. d. Wilson, director of agricultural
extension is asking the farmers of
the state to select a million bushels
Of seed corn during this time. A mil
lion bushels of seed corn is twice
what is annually needed to plant Min
nesota's corn acreage but there is no
reserve of good seed corn remaining
to carry over for next years use.
Prime seed corn is not easy to secure
every year. The outlook now is that
corn will be produced this year, which,
from the stand point of maturity will
be equal if not superior to any corn
that has been produced for several
years. Hence, the advisability of
saving a double supply this fall.
Every county has"the best seed corn
for that county. Therefore each coun-
ty should first attempt to meet its own
seed corn needs before looking else
where. The normal acreage of corn
in Stearns county is approximately
$4,000 acres. In order then to select
and have on hand a two years supply
Of seed corn it will be necessary for
every corn grower to select one bushel
for every three acres which he plans
on putting in corn during the next
two years.
The best time to select seed corn is
at maturity while the corn is still
standing in the field. Wherever ma
tured ears can be found in fields be-
fore Sept. 10 it would be advisable to
make selections. During the next few
weeks the Farm Bureau office will
get check on a number Of desirable
fields from which large amounts of
seed corn should be selected in order
to improve the standard of corn grown
in the county. Any farmer knowing
that his corn is superior in quality to
that generally grown in his neighbor-
hood would be greatly favoring the
Farm Bureau by reporting and telling
the amount of corn which it will be
possible for him to select. The Farm
Bureau will in turn help such parties
in disposing to advantage of their
surplus of seed corn during the winter
and early spring months.
If you find that you will be able to
select an over supply of seed corn
write to P. W.. Huntemer, Melrose,
Mimi, telling kind of corn you are
growing and amount you can select for
distribution over the county. Remem-
Der Sept. 1920 as being seed corn Sc
lection time and help to put Minnesota
over the top lip the seed corn drive.

announces New Food Regulations
VIII Be Effective on
4 September |.
WHEATLESS DAYS END
Nations Fighting Central Powers VIII
All Eat Bread Made From 90
Per Cent Flour and 20 Per
Cent Substitutes.

Washington, Aug. %. - Regulations
announced by Food Administrator
doover provide universal war bread
tor all the nations arrayed against the
central powers, under which wheat
hour restrictions in the United States
are relaxed, and the Allies given bread
containing more wheat than they have
mad since the early days of the war.
The regulations are effective Sept.
I, and wheatless days and wheatless
meals will be discontinued on that
date.
Under an international bread policy
formulated by the inter-allied food
2 council in London, all bread made
after Sept. l for France, England,
italy, the United States and the other
Allies, will be made of mixed -four
containing 80 per cent wheat -four and
20 per cent substitute cereals.
Conflicting Orders Rescinded.
All present baking regulations in
conflict with the new plan are re-
scinded, including the half and half
regulations controlling -four sales to
householders. and that permitting
bakers to use only 20 per cent of their
normal supply of wheat flour.
ALI rationing Of bread among the AL
He'd nations will be discontinued and
plenty of the new Victory bread" is
assured the civil populations at time
when the wheat situation in Germany
and Austria is anything but promis-
ing.
Ready mixed -four in the proportions
allowed by the food administration, in
accordance with its milling standards,
will be available for purchase by
householders, although this is not
compulsory. They are urged, how
ever, to buy the ready-mixed Victory
flour. but where pure wheat -four is
purchased the regulations require re-
tailers to sell 20 per cent of substi-
tutes at the same time to each pur-
chaser
Rely on HousehoIders.
The food administration relies on
householders voluntarily to mix their
bread in the same 1920 proportion re-
Quired of bakers.
All so-called Victory flours" may
be sold without substitutes, the regula-
tions provide, but at no greater price
from the miller, wholesalers or re-
taller than in the case of standard
wheat flour.
Whole wheat, or graham, -four may
be used without substitute, but it must
contain at least IS per cent of the
wheat berry.

urally put in much of their time visit
ing over the telephone As one lady
said recently-''We can't get out, so
all we can do is visit over the tele-
phone" Thus telephone calls are
greatly increased while our already
greatly limited number of operators is
further depleted by illness, so it is
simply impossible to handle the serv-
ice satisfactorily. But We are doing
our level best. 1t isn't a question of
expense. We'd employ a dozen opera
tors if we could, and could find places
for five hundred, for all the offices in
the country are in similar situations.
but We can't get even one-so there
we are. Hence, the only immediate
relief is to avoid unnecessary calls.
We have been short of operators for
several months. as has every tele-
phone plant in the country, and now
over twenty per cent of our force are
ill and confined at their homes. and
We are living in mortal dread that our
force will be further depleted by ILL
ness, though we are taking every pos
sible precautiOn. But we will do our
very best, and trust the public will CO.
operate by combining their calls to ne
cessity, and be patient. remembering
there are no additional operators to
be had, and that it takes at least two
weeks to teach a bright girl so that
she can be of any service at all, and
several weeks more before she can
handle a position. 1t takes our best
operators to teach students, and we
are so short of operators that we can
not at this time spare operators from
the board to teach students. We would
take some bright girls and let them
listen in," and teach them as soon as
possible, and pay them from the start.

OPERATORS ILL
Drain on Forces Impairs
Service; Useless Calls
Discouraged.

Traffic managers of the KinlOch
and Bell telephone companies today
said the service was being seriously
impaired because of sickness among
operators. At the KinlOch, it was
stated that 20 per cent of their oper-
atOrs were off duty because of ill
ness, and at the Bell between 10 and
Is per cent.
Even before the influenza appeared,
there had been a shortage of opera
tors, and the companies were unpre-
pared for the drain on their forces.
There also has been an increase in
volume of business. due, the traffic
managers believe, to the fact that the
schools are closed and children at
home are making frequent and I'M
necessary use of phones. They have
appealed to the public to limit tele-
phone use TO necessary calls.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.
The above conditions exist all over

more, this office knows from expert
