Plant Orchards ON Well Drained
Areas.

Select a well elevated plot of
ground on which to plant fruit trees
If the water table is too close to the
surface, the. land must be ploWed in
such a way that it will be ridged up
to provide drainage in order to keep
the roots of the fruit trees from
standing in the water. Drainage
bitches should be provided between
the rows of the trees. If the trees
are planted on upland clay they
should be planted to the same depth
that they stood in the nursery. IF
the soil is light or sandy they should
be planted two inches deeper. Be
sure to buy from reliable nurseries.
It is waste of la hQr, time and money
to plant diseased trees Oh varieties
not suited to the locality in which
they are to be grown. Consult your
farm demonstration agent for fur
ther particulars or write to the De-
partment Of Horticulture, Extension

not come within its jurisdiction. This

DISEASES OF CORN.
Given Little Consideration and
Cause Great Annual Loss.

The diseases of corn commonly
known as ear rots are very seldom
given much consideration by corn
growers, yet they cause heavy loss
to the state, according to c. W. Ed
gerton, plant pathologist, Experl-
ment Station, Louisiana State Uni
versity. The 1919 crop was very
seriously affected with these troubles,
he says. Even among the show corn
on exhibit at the State Fair there
was a considerable amount of corn
affected with these diseases.
Affected ears are either covered
with white moldy growth or else
they are weak and the germ section
of the kernels are discolored. Ears
covered with the moldy growth are
Of little value and are generally dis
carded. Ears which merely have the
germ section of the kernels blacken-
ed or otherwise discolored usually
pass into the crib and are used for
feed or seed. These ears can be gen
orally told by twisting them. Ears
that are weak or twist easily are US
ready have driven out the PARASITE.
used for feed but should not be uesd
for seed.
If ears affected in this way are
used for seed, many of the grains
will not germinate and many of those
that do grow develop weakly plants
that are of no value. The disease
passes from the affected kernel into
the young plant and usually stays
with it through the season. Many
Of the stalks growing from such seed
produce no ears and few produce
better than nubbins. There is little
question but what the use of such
seed reduces the crop of corn in this
state to considerable extent.
In selecting corn for seed, no ear
should be used that will twist easily
or that has kernels loose on the cob.

Greeks charge the Italians with secret
ly pricking on the Turks to attack the
Greeks. Constantinople is the key to
the Turkish problem, and the American
answer on the Constantinople mandate
is matter of pressing Importance.
American officials here formerly were
impressed by the argument that the
Sultan's removal from Constantinople
would deeply offend the Mussulman
populations everywhere. They now
confess that fuller knowledge destroys
this case. The experts and scholars
who have been consulted declare that
Constantinople never has been consd-
cred a sacred place by the Mussulmans,
still less the sacred city of Islam, for
it always has retained Christian
character
The Turk never was more than a
temporary resident, and it is now urged
that the Sultan's departure will result
among other benefits in cleansing the
city Of thousands of unproductive
hangers on living at the expense of
the population and constituting a
serious obstacle to the peace and
progress of the Orient. =

tlcklish puzzle, which we may call
the Rumanian question. The new
Rumania is shaped something like
a square, and on each of it's four
sides it has a near-war in progress.
On the east it disputes with the
Ukrainians and thus with the Rus
slams the territory once comprising
the Russian province of Bessarabia.
On the north it is at odds with
Hungary over vast area of Ru-
manian speaking lands, which it
has taken in recent months. On tho
south there is the old quarrel with
Bulgaria over all of the Dobrudja
in general and the Southern Do
brudja in particular. On the west
there is new quarrel with the
Serbs over the western fringe Of
the Banat.
For the Western powers to rec
ognize .Rumanian claims to Bessa-
rabia would be to ALLEVIATE Russian
opinion, precisely as in the north
But to fail to recognize Rumanian
claims would be to deny the Four
teen Points, since the people are
Rumanian and have already self
determined themselves to be such,
and, even more serious, to ALLEVIATE
the Rumanian nation, which is des-
tined to be one of the great powers
of the future in Europe, larger in
area than the mainland of Italy, and
capable of sustaining at least as
large a population. If Rumania
finds her claims denied, she unques-
tionably will renounce her associa-
tion with the Western powers; so
much she has already threatened
to do.
Then there is the dispute with the
Serbs over the Banat. Now the

recognize the religious supremacy of
the Sultan, while Mussulman authori-
ties by their official acts and docu-
ments avow that Constantinople has
preserved it's Christian and Hellenic
character. When certain Moslems liv-
ing outside the frontiers of the Otto
man empire declare that the removal
of the Sultan from Constantinople
would wound We susceptiblities of the
faithful it merely means the persist
ence Of the great Panislamc propa-
ganda inaugurated by Abdul Hamid
and continued by the Young Turks at
the kaiser's instiEat.on. The general
world interest as we'll as the interest
of the powers governing the Mussul-
man populations demand the removal
CT the Sultan and the liberation of Con-
stantinople. To allow him to remain
on the Bosporus, either as Sultan or
Caliph would be to recognize a power

concerned never recognized

settle the dispute directly with Rus
sla, without, however, receiving in
advance any guarantee from the
Western powers, although no one
disputes the fact that the great ma
jority Of the population are Ru-
manian by race.
Even this summary retreat does
not, however, dispose of all the ques.
tions affecting Poland. To-day Pol
ish armies are fighting the Ukraini-
ans in Eastern Galicia, and there is
an historic dispute between these
peoples for the possession of East
ern Galicia, with Lemberg, the cap
ital, which is itself Polish city, sur
rounded by Rutherian speaking
country. Had Russia stayed in the
war she would have annexed all Of
Galicia with the consent of the
Western powers, but what now?
First Of all, will the Ukraine en-
dure as a separate state or will it
revert to Russia? Should the West
ern powers follow the German ex-
ample and recognize the independ
ence of the Ukraine or not? To
recognize would be to ALLEVIATE the
Northern Russians and the Poles;
not to recognize might be to guess
wrong, for the Ukrainians might
gain liberty. But to bestow Eastern
Galicia upon the Poles would alien
ate both the Russians and the
Ukrainians and lead to serious con-
sequences: Meantime the Poles
hold all of it, ASIA result of their
victories, and mean to hang on.
Then there is the dispute between
the Poles and the Czecho- -Slovaks
over Teschen, tiny territory, i'm
mensely rich in minerals, lying be-
tween Polish and Czech peoples at
the headwaters of the Oder and the
Vistula. A majority of the popula-
