This season promises to be one of
North Dakota's best corn crop years.
Mr.. III. L. Walster, of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college, urges the
early picking Of plenty Of seed corn
by every farmer who appreciates the
value of good seed. He should have
enough selected for two or three years.
He also advises selecting that which
has matured well as this will be an
evidence that it will mature another
year. He would also have it selected
from the kind Of stalks that one pre-
fers to grow. II one wants corn to
be handled with corn binder, then
only those ears should be selected
which are borne high enough on the
stalk to allow cutting by the binder. If
It Is to be hogged of, one may select
ears that grow nearer the ground.
AS soon as the corn is selected from
the field 1t should be hung up to cure
as the corn Is full of moisture. The
sooner the moisture Ia removed the
better the corn will be for seed,
Professor Walster cites an instance of
where he picked half dozen ears of
Mercer flint corn on August %, 1919,
weighed 1t, hung the ears up in we'll
ventilated place and In sixty hours
weighed the ears again. They had
lost on an average 10 per cent Of their
weight. In other words, If there had
been 100 pounds Of ears losing 10 per
cent Of their weight, it would have
meant that nearly seven quarts Of
water had been lost in three days.

Federal Reserve Board Thinks Re.
action Has Now Set in.
Washington, Sept. 8.-Reaction from
the high price level established during
the war has set in, says the federal
reserve boards review Of business
conditions in August.
Not only are some foodstuffs declin-
ing In cost to the consumer but the
price of wearing apparel, such as tex
tiles and shoes, also has been affected,
the review says. Business continues
at an Extremely high level" and con-
f1dence of a satisfactory solution Of
the wage and price problems was re-
ported from all sections of the country.
During August factors which had
not hitherto arrested much attention
exercised great influence on the busi-
ness situation, the boards statement
said. reference is made, Of course,
to the problem of commodity prices,
in particular those going to make up
the cost Of living, and, to the conse-
quent condition Of labor unrest.
Whereas previously, emphasis had
been placed on the great activity dis
played by business, the problem Of
price, REIMBURSEMENT and the difficulties
connected with 1t now bulk largest.
Discussion in connection with this re-
adjustment is particularly centered on
the problem Of the relation Of wages
and prices. .

MEXICO ADOPTS NOVEL PLAN

americans MUST sign Release OF Ike.
sponsibility to Visit Oil Region.
Washington, Sept. S.-Apparently
convinced that the United States is in
earnest in demanding proper treat
1nent of Americans in Mexico, the
CarranZa government has adopted q
novel expedient in an attempt to re-
lieve itself of responsibility.
Americans going to the TampicO
region, hereafter, will be compelled to
sign formal release of the Mexican
governments responsibility for what
may happen to them. If they refuse,
Mexican officials will refuse to wise
their passports.
= The condition raises peculiar sit
uatiOn, for under international law
government may refuse travel per-
mission to foreigners into u region
where it may not be prepared to guar
antee their safety.
This release is not only required of
wOrkmen who are American citizens,
but also of American citizens in the
United States holding passports from
the state department authorizing them
to visit the Tampico region.

SENATE PASSES DRY BILL
One Vote Only Is Cast Against Pro.
posed Measure.

posed Measure.
Washington, Sept. 6.-The prohibi-
ton enforcement bill was passed by
the senate today without a record vote
and virtually in the form it came from
the committee. The measure now goes
to conference for discussion Of amend
ments inserted in the house bill by
the senate.
The only material change made in
the bill in the senate was the adoption
by amendment Of the liquor and drug
prohibition act for the Panama canal
zone. This measure has not been
acted up by the house.
An eleventh hour attempt by Sena-
tor Shields, Democrat, Tennessee, to
render ineffective the whole section
of the measure relating to enforcement
of war time prohibition, failed, his
own vote being the only one cast in
favor Of it. His amendment would
have limited the operation Of the war
time law to the six states in which
rehabilitation camps are located.
AS it passed the senate and goes
to conference the bill defines as an
intoxicant any beverage containing
more than one-half Of one per cent Of
alcohol. The senate modified, how
ever, some of the most rigid provi-
sions Of the house bill, including that
affecting private stocks of alcoholic
beverages held for personal use.

Peace Envoy Declares China

Matsuoka, In Interview, Outlines Plan

China.

New York, Sept. 4.-Restitution Of
the province of Shantung to China by
Japan within year was predicted
here by Yosuke Matsuoka, secretary
in the foreign department of Japan
and member of the Japanese peace
delegation. Mr.. Masuoka has Just ar
rived here from Paris on his way to
Japan.
Il should be not at all surprised"
he said, If our government opened
within few months, or even few
weeks, negotiations with the Chinese
government with view OF settling the
Shantung question in a way satisfac.
tory to all concerned"
In statement on the ShantMng
question, Mr.. Matsuoka said:-
ITO those of US who have partici-
pated in the peace conference there is
not the shadow of doubt that Japan
will withdraw from Shantung at the
earliest possible moment. The peace
treaty requires Germany to hand over
to Japan all the documents relative to
Shantung within three months after
the treaty comes into force. When
this is done, Japan will Immediately
take steps toward the restitution
which Japan has pledged herself to
make in favor of China.
Terms Now Known.
"The terms on which Japan will
restitute Shantsng are now fairly we'll
known to the world. Briefly stated,
the main points of these terms are:
"First-Japan is to restore Kiao Chau
the German leased territory to China.
"Second-In returning Kiao Chau to
China, Japan in the interest of all
nations asks only one thing, namely,
that the territory be open to interna-
tional trade. 1t is only as natural
corollary of this proposed measure
that Japan also desires to establish

"Third-Japan will withdraw all her
troops not only from the railway zone.
but from Tsingtao. After the restitu-
ton of Kiao Chau not a single Jap.
anese soldier will be left on the soil
of Shantung.
"Fourth-The Shantung railway Of
$40 miles will be operated not by
Japan, but by a Chino-Japanese joint
corporation, in which both Japanese
and Chinese capital will be represent
ed. OF course China will participte
in the management Of this railroad.
"Fifth-Japan will withdraw her
police force from along the railway
and entrust the Chinese authorities
with policing of that region"

Corn is one Of the important crops
IN North Dakota farming. 1t not only
produces a crop of forage and Of
grain but leaves the land in almost an
ideal condition for the crop that fol-

Corn is also better able to withstand

crops, SO that it is one of the crops
that we can use to fight drouth with.
