knowledge Of the disease is not yet
complete but studies at the Indiana
Agricultural Experiment Station seem
to show that seed corn may carry the
disease. Diseased grains may fail to
germinate or may give weak plants
which soon die. In either case the
result is an uneven stand of corn in
the field. 1t also appears that dis
eased grains may be detected during
the termination test since they often
rot or mold in the germinator.
This fact emphasizes the import
ance of ear-testing all corn to be
used for seed and the selection of
ears which give strong vigorous
plants. If any of the grains rot or
mold in the germinator, fail to germ
mate, or give only weak plants, the
ears from which they came should be
rejected.
In order to reduce the losses from
this disease, crop rotation is also nee
essary, since the parasite may live
over winter on the old stalks in the
field. Another important measure
is the selection of seed corn on the
stalk in September.

TESTING THE CORN ROOT ROT

One reason for poor yields in many
Ohio cornfields is disease known as
the corn root rot, says Professor W.
G. Slower of the Ohio State Univer-
sity. In this disease some or all of
the roots are rotted off by mold or
fungus. The fungus also grows up
into the stalk and even into the shank
and ear. The results of these attacks
are seen in dwarfed plants which may
die early, in down or broken stalks,

FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT
OFFICE NOT TO CLOSE

The federal employment service
here didn't close after all After the
employees had worked all day Tuesday
packing up the records and making
other preparations to cease operations.
according to instructions received
from Washington, a message was re-
ceived yesterday from the capital or
dering the work to continue:
The message said:
Final passage today of reduced
appropriation permits operation of

kilograms relative to discOn'iluance
of service. Continue as before, in

reau until further notice, maintain
ing relations with outside organiza-
tons"
Since March % the local office has
received 1,500 applications from per
sons seeking employment, OF these

ployment of nature that was not

FAMOUS LAKEWOOD CASE
APPEALED TO SUPREME:
COURT BY GOVERNMENT

The famous Lakewood case, involV-
ing interest on money paid for land
condemned near the town Of Lake
wood several years AGO, has been APP
pealed by the government to the SUI
preme court of the United States, ac-
cording to word received here.
This case grew out of the Carlsbad
irrigation project The government
condemned land and stipulated Just
what amount should be paid to each
farmer to reimburse him for the
acreage condemned. The farmers
claimed that they were entitled to IN
terest on the money from the time the
land was condemned until they re-
ceiVed their money. They brought
suit in the district court at Roswell
and received a verdict in their favor
The government then appealed to the
circuit court OF appeals and about
sixty days ago the farmers won
second decision. The government now
has taken an appeal to-the United
States supreme court.
George S. DoWner Of Albuquerque
and Reid & Heryey of Roswell repre-
sent the land owners,

EVERY k|NANIAN
WILL INVITE YANK
To NEXT LUNCH
Dr. h. N, Bowers Speaks on
Brains" Saying They Are
Storage Bsttery As They
Are ReCharged By Sleep,


The kiwanian luncheon at the Y, NJ
{ a. yesterday was well attended and
the program of unusual interest. The
attendance prize was won by f. W.
Campbell, banker of Las Cruces. 1t
was s. worth of printing from f. J..
Baser of the Commercial Printing
Dr.. Henry NJ. Bowers was the oral
booster. He spoke on Brains" II. c
Donaldson, principal of the Menaul
school, told Of the work of that insti-
tuition The members of the club
decided, on the suggestion Of the pres
ident, Dr. Charles Eller, to each invite
a returned soldier to luncheon as his
guest at the luncheon next Wednes-
day, A committee, of which Lynn II.
Fox, secretary of the Y. M. c. A., is
chairman, was appointed to learn nov
many plates will be necessary.
Speaking Of brains, Or. Bowers
said in part;
The experiments of DR. George
Grille of Cleveland show that the brain
as storage battery is charged during
sleep. The brain does not supply en-
ergy, but like the electricity in the au-
tomobile supplies the spark which
lherates the energy stored in the
muscles and liver. Food products
properly assimilated may be used to
repair the cells OF the brain, but the
experiments proved that food and
drink alone would not charge the
cells Animals fed and watered, but
kept from sleep, showed degeneration
of the brain cells. Sleep permitted
regeneration and recharging. The
charging agent we do not know
Dr. Bowers gave a number of inter
esting illustrations of how the brain
has been employed to make work with
the hands more efficient.
In the yards of the United States
Steel company at Pittsburgh, he said,
were seventy-five Poles engaged in
loading p 6 iron on train. They
loaded an average of twelve and
half tons a day per man, but an eftic-
ienCy expert decided that more work
could be had by giving the men more
rent. One of the workers was hired
at higher pay to do just as the expert
told him. He was told how to move
when to move and when to rest. He
spent but SO per cent of his time act
ually working. At the end of the day
he had loaded forty-eght tons Of pig
iron, and was not tired BY working
a few second and resting few sec
onds, he was kept fresh. Yet, working
only SO per cent of his time he had
done 400 per cent more work than the
average man"
DR.. Bowers said it was not the man
who hustles around that delivers the
goods but the man who plans his work
and then works his plans. The aver
age man, he said, works too much am
mans foo litt1p
