SEED CORN SHORTAGE

(By ]. G. McAmis, Agronomy Special

sity of Tennessee.)
In some quarters there is fear that
there will not be enough good corn to
go around in the spring. In Tennessee
the first planting Of corn was drowned
out by excessive rains and then
parched by summer droughts. The late
planting did well, but was caught in
the field by heavy fall rains and an
overflow. Certainly not all the corn
lin the many cribs will grow, and much
Of that which does grow will produce
weak stalk. Our experience in the
spring of 1917 ought to show us the
way out of this dificulty the situation
looked much darker than 1t does now.
The corn went into the crib wet and
before it dried 1t froze and remained
In this condition until spring. The
terminating power was desl . ed and
much of the corn rotted before the
farmers were aware of the danger.
Even under these conditions there was
plenty of seed that would grow, which
was mixed in with that which would
not. 1t was simply matter of search
ing out the good seed. 1t is safe bet
that there is plenty Of seed now, If we
begin a diligent search for it. The
search should have begun last fall, but
II is better late than never. Normally
1t is doubtful If 1t is worth while to
test seed corn for termination, but in
Off years, such as this, it is the only
safe plan. 1t is very simple and in
expensive thing to do. The only way
to know whether q seed ear viii grow
is to try few grains from different
parts Of 1t. There are several methods,
all of which are good. II you are in
doubt, ask your county agricultural
agent or write the Division of Exten.
sion for instructions.
Good seed is necessary for good
crop. Home grown seed Of 4 high
yielding variety is best Do not lose
your head and buy untried varieties
from distant points. II your neighbOr
has better seed than yours, and Of Q
good variety, use that. However, it ID
likely that his crop is in about the
same condition as yours, and that your
safest plan is to stake your chances
on the best seed corn in your crib, but
be very sure that you find the best.
1t is always well to be trying out
new varieties in an isolated place, but
II Is never safe to use an untried va
riety for the whole crop.

of policy on the part of the white

and esteem" that ''every proper

HOW CORN CLUB
BOYS MEASURE LAND

Every member Of the boys corn ciue
should measure his acre Of land be-
fore it is planted. Too often the acre
Is estimated, and when checked later
in the season by the county agent or
committee, it is frequently found that
a boy is competing with less than an
acre. This makes it difficult for him
to win in his contest. and his report
can not show the yield from full
acre.
There are 1850 square feet In one
acre of land, and IL 1t Is square each
side must be 200 feet. To find the area
of square, multiply one side by itself
Example: 209x209=43,6s1. This Ia
the closest we can get to square acre
without using fractions.

An official of one Of the railroads
Of this state talking to the writer few
days ago said that his company five
years ago employed around 10000 men
to carry on its work. That was when
men worked ten hours day. Then the
eight. hour day came with Federal con-
troll of the roads and it takes IL, 500 men
to do the same work the 10000 did be-
fore. This same thing is true of all
the big industries of the country. All
use more men to do the work done by
fewer before. This makes the cost
more and this very fact cuts a tre-
mend US figure in the high cost OF
living. The men and women of this

France and Great Britain Are in Full
Accord.-eill Of United States

Hy,he. England. May 1.-THE An
ylu-Erench combination which has sue
cee.led the big four in the management
Of the allies dealings with Germany.
determined yesterday on the principles
for the settlement of both the German
indemnity and inter-a!lied debts.
The principles are that the financial
experts of the two governments shall
recommend Il lump sum for the in
demnity and that the payments of the
inter-allied debts shall proceed par
allel with Germany's payments.
This arrangement is a substitute for
Premier Millerand's proposal under
mediate payment of a large sum to
France. The French delegation. how
ever. appeared satisfied with the re-
suits of their mission. Saturday they
were SO confident that NJ .Millerand's
requests would he granted. that they
announced them as having been
agreed on.
The present purpose Of the ''big
two" is to present the experts plan
to the Germans at Spa. According to
experts here the question Of the
amount of time and the method Of
payment are yet to he considered.
Creditors of the allies are distinct
gamers by the new plan. because 1t
virtually makes German payments to-
ward the indemnity guarantees for the
inter-allied debts. The French con-
slider themselves gamers. on the one
hand. because ii now becomes doubly
to Great Britain's interes, to press
Germany for reparation. while Great
Britain. on the other hand. secures def.
mite assurances for repayment Of her
lOnnS to France.
Another item Of gain for France o.
tanned from the conference is the bar
gain by which Great Britain allots to
France IS per cent of all coal ex.
