INCREASES YIELD OF WHEAT
Experiment Of Treating Seed EFss.
tricaIly Meets With success
IN England.

An interesting experiment as to the
effect Of electrically treating seed
wheat before sowing has been car
ried out at Bodsham Green, Elmstead,
Kent. during this season, by W. r.
Pledge Of the Victoria flour mills, Ash
ford. the London Times states. The
variety of wheat chosen for the expert
ment was "red standard" and two ad-
joining plots were sown on November
ID and IA last at the rate of three
bushels to the acre. the seed on one
plot being electrically treated and that
on the other not. The land was treat
ed exactly alike all through the year.
Recently the growing crops were in
spected by a party, including r. L.
Robb. lecturer on agriculture at the
Southeastern Agricultural college,
Wye. Kent.
Amarked difference between the two
plots was noticeable, the wheat on the
treated portion being much the more
vigorous In growth and habit, and
promising, so far as the experts pres
ent Rwere able to judge, a yield at
least, 20 per cent higher than that of
the -pntreated plot. There were evil
dent signs Of rust. too, in the untreated
CROP and it was significant fact that
the otlfer plot was, at any rate at the
present stage, entirely free from this
disease. 1t was the general opinion
of these present that electricity is
likely TO become very important fac
tor m the cultivation of agricultural
crops and that great developments
alongHthat line may be confidently ar
ticipated in the near future.

10 these institutions the denomina-

to help carry forwardsthe work along

Last year, reports show. over G. 600

students pastoring churches raised
more than $4,000 for church benevo-

upon EDUCATION
SOUTHERN BAPTlsTS PLAN MUCH
LARGER PROVISION FOR ALL
THEIR INSTITUTIONS.
WILL AID RURAL SCHOOLS
Success Of rs Million Campaign Will
Mean Strengthening Of Educational
Forces All Along the Line In
Next Five Years.

OF the total sum sought in the Bap-
tist rs Million Campaign, 100000
will go to Christian education.
But the educational program of the
Baptists will not stop there. 1t pro-
poses to lend itself to the creation of
a public sentiment that will result in
more efficient public schools in the
territory of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention, especially in the rural dis
tricts. In this connection it is pointed
out that 81 per cent Of the total ele.
mentary scholastic population of the
nation is found in the South; that the
rural scholastic population of the
South is. n per cent of the whole; that
only one-sixth as much money per
capita is expended on the education
Of the children of the South as on the
children of other sections of tho coun-
try; that only 81 out Of every 1000
pupils in the South enter high school
as against 81 from other sections; and
only 10 from the South enter college
as against 81 from other sections.
Distributed throughout the territory
OF the Southern Baptist Convention
are 142 educational institutions, in
Guiding academies, colleges, universi-
ties, seminaries, and missionary train
ing schools for women. These have 4
total enrolment Of $4,000 annually, but
all Of them are crowded, greatly in
need Or larger facilities IN every way,

mands made upon them. II is In SUP.

To you know that tuberculosis is
more prevalent in the South than in
any other part o. the country?
That the death rate from tuberculo.
sis here is 14.2 per cent greater than
for the nation as a whole, and greater
than in any civilized nation on the
globe with the exception of China?
That more than $50 people a day, or
57,7S2 year, die in the South and
the Southwest from this dreaded dis
Csc?
That there are within the territory
of the Southern Baptist Con ention
275,0O0 persons actively infected with
the great white plague and an equal
number have inactive infection?
That the money loss to the South
each year from tuberculosis is $751;
100000?
These startling facts were brought
to the attention of the Southern Bap-
fist Convention at it's session in 1916
and resolution was at once adopted
to try and check the spread of the
disease and provide relief as far as
possible for those already infected
with it.
AS a result of fits movement there
was established in ..Ae high, cool, rare
atmosphere Of FL Paso, Texas, the
Southern Baptist Sanatorium which
aims to minister to as many patients
as possible and to disseminate
throughout the South and Southwest
the information that will result in
Checking the further spread of the
disease and enable those who have
just contracted it to obtain immedi-
ate cures by proper methods of living.
With the active assistance of tie
business interests of Ell Paso a mod
ern sanatorium, located upon a beau
tiful tract of 143 acres on the side
of Mt. Franklin, at a height of $500
feet, was opened for the healing of
the people, and through the BAPTIST

Will receive 100000 for the erection
OF additional buildings and 100000
for al endowment that will enable
the sanatorium to minister to those
INDECENT patients who are unable to
pay for treatment.
That there is an imperative need
for an institution of this character
is shown in the fact that all institu.
lions in the South and Southwest for
the treatment of tuberculosis have a
total capacity of only S,7j7 beds, or
one bed for only one person out Of
every sixty in this section who are af-
flicted.

list Sanatorium is modern and of the
very best, but its. present equipment
is far too small to cope with the de-

and architects are already designing

While the sanatorium is being op-
Grated by the Baptists, it will be open
to the people Of all creeds and no
creed. Due to the crowded conditions,
however, it is necessary that arrange
ments be made in advance by commu-
nicating with DR.. H. F. Vermillion, SUI
perintendent, at Ell Paso.
The sanatorium is under the gen.
eral supervision Of the Home Mission
Board of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention, and in addition to treating
patients who have already contracted
tuberculosis, it will seek. through a
campaign of publicity, to so inform
the people of the South and South
west on the nature and prevention of
this disease that the alarming death
rate from the white plague can be i'm
mediately lowered and finally reduced
to the minimum.

Two notes concerning the appointment
of certain commissioners were handed
to Colonel Henry, the French liaison
officer here, by Baron Kurt Won Lersner,
the head of the German peace delega-
ton, last night. One note asks the
French Government to appoint a com

requests the French and Belgian Gov
ernments to appoint commission to
deal with questions concerning the dis
tricts of malmedy and Morisnet.
Doctor Lewald, head of special
German commission, has forwarded to
the Peace Conference notes containing
suggestions on the food supply on the
left bank of the Rhine. They will be
referred to Louis Loucheur, the French
minister of reconstruction,
