It been of such importance to deter

CALL FOR MORE CORN

Wheat excepted, corn is the
most valuable and indispensable
of the worlds grain crops. 1t
holds a commanding position in
the agriculture Of the United
States. Its vast acreage and
heavy yields are responsible to
no small extent for the success
of agriculture. The department
of agriculture, in its program Is
sued early in February, which
re-emphasized and amplified the
food production program for
1918 published by the depart
ment in August, 1917, recon-
mended that an acreage Of corn
approximately equal to that Of
1917, which was the largest on
record, should be planted in.
1918, with possibly slight reduc-
lions in certain sections to free
areas for spring wheat. In 1917
the acreage devoted to corn was
approximately 119,755.00 acres,
compared with 1O5.672. 900 acres,
the average for 1911-15, and
with 1O7, OS3, 900 acres for 1912
and 1O6, 1877, 900 acres for 1915.

TWO MORSE SHIPS
LATEST VICTIMS
OF HUN RAIDER
Grew of Kringsjaa Picked Up
by Warship and Landed
at Norfolk
By associated Press

Washington, June 17.-Germany's
trail vessels in American waters. The
latest victims of the raiders which
first made their appearance Off the
Atlantic coast some three weeks ago
ere the sailing ship Kringsjaa and
the bark Samoa, both Norwegians.
The crew OF the former has been
picked up by an American warship
which is bringing them to an Atlantic
port. and that of the latter was
landed last night at Norfolk.
Both vessels were sent down 90
miles off the Virginia coast. The
Samoa was sunk by shell fire at s
o'clock Friday morning, the Navy
Department announced yesterday but
the time and manner of the sinking
of the Kringsjaa had not been re-
ported to the department late last
night.
Its announcement concerning the
Kringsjaa said:
"A United States man-o'-war has
picked up all of the survivors of the
bark Kringsjaa which was sunk
about 80 miles off the Virginia coast.
They are being brought to an At
lantic port"
Although the report to the depart
ment might indicate that some of the
crew of the Kringsjaa had been
killed. officials believed that as they
had done before the Germans per-
mitted all aboard the sailing ship to
take to the boats before sinking the
vessel.
The Kringsjaa brings the total of
vessels sunk by the German U-boats
off the American coast 10 20. six of
which were Norwegian. four steam
ers and two sailing craft.
The Kringsjaa was of 1898 net tons
and the Samoa of 1851 tons.
