Planting Corn That WIN Grow

Connecticut's experience last season
shows the value of testing seed corn
Corn shows in that state in 1917 were
unique in that ffty-ear termination
test was made Of each entry. These
tests saved the state thousands of dol
iFFs, d&scie-snE tA@s .1ssrh ~ sssa seed
corn OF the 1917 crop was very low in
terminating qualities. A campaign
was inaugurated for the testing Of
all corn to be used for the 1915 crop
The work in many places was taken UP
through the schools, and teachers and
pupils taught to make tests, No ex-
cuse was left for any farmer to plant
immature corn. In one county TOO sam
pies showed only 80 per cent germinat-
Ing power, and In another county only
10 per cent OF the corn tested was at
for planting. The farm bureaus saved
the day by carrying on so vigorous
campaign that all corn At for planting
was made available for home use or
sale. In addition to supplying the
states need for good seed corn, the
farm bureaus were able to get together
six carloads of tested seed corn for
shipment to North Dakota and wiscon-
rsin, where also the situation was seri-
Gus. This corn brought the farmers
of Connecticut SIS, 900.

Coolies DIRECT FROM
FRONT ARE RECEIVED
BY LAURENCE F. LEE

The Morning Journal staff had the
coolies last night-for few minutes.
No dscomforts were experienced,
however. from the visit of these little
pests which have done so much to
create activity among the soldiers on
the battle fronts of Europe. as the
coolies were dead. They came in an
envelope to Laurence +. Lee from his
brother, Floyd, a member of Battery
A, now in France.
Floyd's letter stated that there are
German and French cotties, and when
they meet which usually is in the
seams of some soldiers underwear,
they put up terrific fight, just like
a polu and Henie used to before
the armistice was signed. They chase
one another all over mo mans land
and the sensation to the soldier on
whose person the struggle is staged
is by no means pleasing one. As
one soldier expressed it, they don't
eat much. it's what the Internal things
tromp down that gets "A fellows
goat" ss|
Mr.. Lee will put the coolies on eX-
hibition in Matson's window; you may
be able to see them if your eye sight
is right good

When removing a spot do not begin

an application of diluted acetic acid

NIECE SS|Ty FOR
CONSERVATION Of
SUGAR IS PASSED

Frequent inquiries come TO the
food administration as to the reasons
Cor removing all restrictions upon the
use Of sugar, especially in public eat
ing places said M. r. Johnston, act
ing federal food administrator for New
Mexico yesterday, while discussing the
notifications recently made in the
conservation program.
1T has been the policy of the food
administration from The beginning" Mr.
Johnston continued Ito adjust conser-
walton to conditions and their needs
Whenever conditions warranted it, re-
strictions We're at once removed. The
public has appreciated this attitude
and therefore complied promptly with
every conservation request.
Restrictions upon the use of sugar
became necessary to insure a supply
for the army and navy and the allies
that during the war had to depend
upon the same source of sugar as
America. The people responded MS is
shown by she fact that during July,
August, September, October and No
vemE@r no less than 1854 tons of
sugar was saved over normal consump-
ton.
with improved conditions modifi-
cations IN the sugar program
were promptly made. The war
is over, The sugar crop is large
Under these circumstances the food
administration removed all restric ions
and America will not he called upon
fer extraordinary sacrifice in the use
of sugar until further notice
Asked in regard to details of the
conservation program for world relief,
Mr.. Johnston said Until Mr. Hoov-
ers return the food administration will
outline no definite campaign of saving
on any specified commodities Much
will depend on the program for relief
now being formulated by the allied
food controllers.
The people of America are urged
TO continue TO eliminate waste of all
foodstuffs from which the necessary
and artificial res rictions have been re-
moved Europe viii need all the food
America can supply at least until next
harvest"
