About four-fifths of the area in this
country planted to corn is harvested
for grain, the remainder of the crop
being cut for silage and for green
feed. Various practices govern the
harvesting of the mature grain. 1t is
estimated by the bureau of crop es-
Inmates that IS per cent is gathered
by swapping the ears; about % per
cent of the crop is cut and shocked in
the field; 8 per cent is cut and hauled
to the barn for husking; 8 per cent is
harvested by live stock in the field;
and that unnamed practices are used
to harvest per cent of the crop.
Big Waste In Burning.
The burning of cornstalks Is to be
condemned as a waste of q feed and
n soil improver, and yet about one
eighth of the cornstalks left in the
field In the United States are disposed

of In this way. This procedure Is fol-
lowed mostly In the South and some of
the corn belt and Pacific states, where
the fraction Is usually larger than one
eighth. Where stalks are left In the
field more than one-half of such area
in the whole country is pastured and
the stalks on one-third are plowed UNI
der.
Forage From Corn Crop.
A large amount of forage is derived
from the corn crop. Besides the 10
per cent of the entire area that con-
tributes silage and green feed, ii per
cent of that kept for grain is topped,
and on 10 per cent the leaves are pull.
ed. Besides, there is an enormous
amount of slower that is pastured in
the field and is cut and fed In the win
ter. It is estimated that the harvested
corn slower per acre averages over two
tons and that In many states the guam
tity is three to four tons.

WARNED AGAINST GERMANS

Paris, February 4.--The former Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovitch, broth in-law of the former Russian Emperor who has arrived in Paris, as he de- clares mot for political purposes. but to make known the truth about Rus sia," says in an interview in the Matin that the allies must beware of Ger many in Russia.
 France has every reason to save Russia" he declared.
 eff you do not intervene now be sure that Germany will intervene in her own time. Beware of Germany. That people which now is at your mercy, hides within itself hate which will find its first revenge in Russia.
 "A league of nations or a society of peoples is much talked of. It remains to be seen if the nations will not have dealt themselves a mortal blow by hesitating too long to cleanse the Russian sore, which threatens to con- taminate the whole world
 The grand duke related how with his family and the Dowager Empress and Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaie- witch, the former Russian commander in chief, he had been kept prisoner in a house in the Crimea. However. the chief of the bolsheviki guard had served under Alexander ana made things toll erable for them. They were saved from massacre on May 1, 1918, by the ar rivals of the Germans, and were eventually set free by the coming of an allied fleet

 Suffrage Resolution
By Assoe,a,eo Prs,,

Washington, February 4.-Former Sec rctary Bryan was at the capitol today urging democratic Senators to support the. woman suffrage resolution which Is to be called up next Monday. He issued statement predicting adoption of the resolution by the next Congress if it fails during the present session.
 'I hope the democrats of the south." said the statement will not handicap the democrats of the north by compelling them to spend the next 25 years explain ing to the women of the country why the democratic party prevented the sub mission of the amendment
 This is our last chance to play an inn portant part in bringing about this re- form and it is matter of political concern that the democrats of the north ern Mississippi valley shall not be bur dened by the charge that our party pre- ventel its submission, especially when it is now known that is coming in spite of. if not with the aid of the democrats.

Paris, February 4.-David R. Francis, the American ambas sador to Russia, who was re- gently summoned from London to Paris by Paul Dutasta, the secretary of the peace confer ence, and has held conferences here with Secretary Lansing and General Hiss on Russian problems, probably will be called upon soon by the su- preme council and the commit tee which will discuss Russias affairs.

 way prejudical to the interests of the governments opposing the bOl- shevfki.

TO AVOID ATTRACTIONS

The undersigned consider it indis- pensable that a commission of control should be immediately sent to the spot to avoid any conflict between the Czechs and the Poles in the egion of Teschen.
 This commission apart from the measures that it will have to pre- scribe, will proceed to an inquiry on the basis of which the peace confer- ence' may form it's decision in fixing definitely the respective frontiers of the Czechs and the Poles in the con- tested zone.
 "In order to seal the entente be- tween the two friendly nations which should follow a policy in full accord with that of the allied and associa ted powers, the representatives of the great powers register the promise of the Czech representatives that their country will put at the disposition Hf the Poles all it's available resources in war material and will grant ito them every facility for the transit of arms and ammunition.
 The exploitation of the mines of the Karvin- -Ostrawa district will be carried out in such way as to avoid all infractions of private property while serving any police measures which the situation may require. The commission of control will be author ized to supervise this if necessary to secure to the Poles that part of the output which may be equitably claimed by them to meet their wants.
 Tt is understood that the local ad- will continue to function in accordance with the conditions of the pact of NovembeT 1918. and that the rights of mlnorities will be strictly respected.

POLES AND CZECHS WARNED ID AVOID
 OCCUPYING LAND
By Associated press


 Paris, Monday, December 3. The peace conference has warned the Polish and Czech nationalities, who are disputing control of the Teschen mining district, in Austrian Silesia, that they must refrain from oc- |cupying the territories to which they lay claim, accoding to an official bulletin issued tonight.
 The communication lays down
 rules for the temporary admfnls-
 tration of the disputed region pend
 ing the decisions Of the peace
 conference, and announces that .
 commission of control will be im-
 mediately sent to the Teschen re-
 zion by the conference.
 The document reads as follows:
 The representatives of the great powers, having been informed of the conflict which has arisen between the Czechs and the Poles in the principal ity of Teschen, in consequence of which the mining district of Ostrawa- Karvin and the railway from Oder berg to Teschen and Jablungkau has been occupied by the Czechs have de- ciared as follows:
 REMINDED OF PROMISE
 "In the first instance, they think 1t necessary to remind the nationalities who have engaged to submit the terri- torial questions which concern them to the peace conference for it's decision tthat they have promised) to refrain from taking a pawn or from occupy ing the territories to which they laid claim.
 The representatives take note of the engagement by which the Czech delegates have declared that they were definitely stopping their troops on the railway which runs from Oderberg to Tescfen and Jablungkau.
 Pending the decision of the peace congress as to the definitive assign ments of the territories, that part of the railway line to the north of Tes- chen and mining regions will remain in the occupation of Czech troops. while the southern section of the line, starting from and including the town of Teschen down to Jablungkau will be entrusted to the military supervi- sion of the Poles.

ton for raw materials, food and manufactured products.
 The war produced a vast em- bargo. Everything going and com ing overseas was stopped in or der that men and fighting ma terial might be carried.
 It is not only Germany which has run short of raw materials, though that nation of sixty mill lion people is four years behind in everything, from a strand of cotton to sole leather and copper. But there is Austria, France, Britain. Poland, Denmark, Hol- land, Russia-all the world is to- day demanding of this country pig iron, copper, lead. zinc, manga nese, wool, cotton. fertilizer, wheat, rye, grain, hemp and thousand other articles of which this country is a vast storehouse, and which we mine and raise and ship in normal times to the ex- tent of millions and millions of tons.
 There is a four years supply of all these things due the old world, and it will take busy hands and humming wheels and many a railroad car and ship to get them from our mines and farms to the place where the hungry and eager of the old world are waiting to use them.
 Doing work is being prosper ous. The old world will pay us in many ways. Tn labor, in goods. in credits, which will mean goods in future years.
 It is merely a question of get ting on the job and getting our shoulder to this vast task that delays this feature of our peace prosperity. Soon all these indus tries will be humming. There will be a demand for men and women and labor in every avail able industry, and probably a greater demand than existed at any time during the most pros porous times of the war prosper ity
 There will be few, if any. un- employed and wages will be big, and so will prices.
 The activity certain to come from the great task of restocking this country with its foreign-made goods will contribute largely to the future peace prosperity of this country.
 Ask your wife or sister about her experience at the glove coun- ter at the department store. She will begin to tell of the high price of the poor gloves she has had to buy. She wishes for the old two-dollar French gloves. or the dollar and a half Austrian gloves. or possibly even for some of the German-made gloves which did not rip at the seams and were not crooked in the thumb
 This is merely an example of the many things which the United States for years has got from abroad and which we will never probably make ourselves as

BUY WHAT YOU NEED NOW TO BRING PROSPERITY TO COUNTRY IS ADVICE OF DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE HEAD
Bright Future for American Business, Big and Small Is Phophesied by Secretary Redfied; Commerce
 Rests on Individual Purchases
By William C. RedfieId Secretary of Commerce

The vacuum in world trade caused the elimination of Ger1 many as a competitor gives the United States a great opportunity for its future prosperity
 Our own economic structure has not been shaken as severely as that of the nations associated with us in the war. but there is quite sufficient for us to do to set our own house in order. We are in a period of business hesitation. Unemployment is here, not upon such a scale as we saw in 1907 and 1908, but enough to make it a subject for serious thought, be- cause the enemies of society are taking advantage of it to teach their dangerous doctrines.
 The most dangerous part of this period will pass with the opening of spring, for employ ment opens out of doors now and will relax the attention. Every ef- fort must be made to restore the normal course of business as speedily as possible.
 All comemrce rests on individ- ual purchases. If everyone stop ped buying there would be no commerce and industry. The sug- gestion has gone forth that, while We must save for taxes, for war loans, and because, most impor- tant of all, We must not lose the habit of thrift the war has taught us, still there are necessities that every one must have.
 It, would be we'll if these neces- sities were bought at once, for every such purchase contributes to the demand for goods. and so to the demand for making goods, and so to the demand for labor. Each of us may do modest part in this way. It may mean little sacrifice here and there in pay ing at the moment somewhat
Bisbee daily review., 1919-04-13

The nation is confronted not with the question of reconstruc- ton, but rather with the problem of restoration, and in some fields, only with the need of further con- structive action.
 We must resume operations. There is hesitation in business. The business man is hestiating until prices drop so that he can make his purchases and proceed with his undertakings. If this persists very long, of course prices will rise, because commodities will become scarce Bushes will jump out of the frying pan into the fire.
 It seems to me that, in the long run, it would be simpler and less expensive for industry to discount the situation and to fix prices at the lowest possible point consist ent with the continuance of oper- ations, so that we may return as nearly to normal as possible and proceed in orderly fashion.
 Difficult as is the present, situa- ton, it is not as difficult as that which confronted this nation in the period following the Civil war.
Bisbee daily review., 1919-04-13

Prosperity is here if we will have it.
 Before long, prosperity will probably be here whether we do anything to bring it or not; but by our attitude we can assure it's coming and accelerate the revival of industry. The thing that is necessary is an attitude of con- fidence, of trust in Americas fu- ture, of appreciation of Americas opportunities.
 We have just come through the greatest war in the history of mankind-a war that has drained us of our accumulated surplus, and as a result we lack, and all the nations of the earth lack, the things that but for the war we would have thought we never could do without. During the war we refrained from purchasing any thing beyond our actual require ments, and these are small part of tho normal purchases of the nation.
 Now we have returned to peace; we can have whatever we want, and by making and buying the normal peace-time produc- tions of industry at this time wa shall stimulate business and bring prosperity to America at once.
 The wheels Of industry, once
