Tho Uniform and Common Sense.

no dVo SOUtN0u SSuSSs
1t is not American to discredit the
uniform Of the country's service,
neither is it good sense. Those who
are opposing reasonable require
ments for the training of our men in
the service have no sound American
doctrine to stand on, because Ameri-
canism would give to every man an
opportunity and expects him to pro-
tect it. ~. .-.e
Whatever opinions may be held
respecting General Woods eligibility
as President it cannot be claimed
that there is in his career anything
to encourage the idea that his influ-
ence is militaristic or that the coun-
try has anything to fear from him on
that account. Attempts TO make it
so appear are appeals to narrow
prejudice. Some have suggested that
the anti-military feeling would
cause him to campaign without his
uniforms. That supposition re-
vealed the calibre of the supposers.
We are glad that General Wood
spoke as he did in an address at
Springfield, ILL.,, Monday evening.
He said:
II am here in uniform, with no apol-
ogies to offer for that uniform he said.

litical purposes.

far the navy investigation has been
most noteworthy for the cordial, en-
thusiastic and all but unanimous
agreement of witnesses that Sir Jo-

ty and value Of the earlier planting
If corn. BY much earlier than normal
planting it has been found that larger
varieties can be profitably grown for
snsilage in northern localities with
much better yields than can be had
from the smaller native varieties plant
ed at the usual date.
In the South, by planting small
short season varieties earlier than nor
nal. much earlier maturity can be Sc
cured, affording supply Of corn for
very early feeding. Many rather soft
varieties that rot badly when planted
ate produce sound corn when planted
,arly in southern localities. The plant
,ag of short and long season varieties
n alternate rows has increased yields
where moisture Is a limiting factor.
Varieties differ, it has been found,
n their ability to adapt themselves
and their grain production to varying
stands. Prolific varieties, when given
increased space, have shown ability to
increase their grain production much
more satisfactorily than have the sim
gle ear varieties, because Of their abll-
ty to make up for deficiency in stand.
The studies made by the department
specialists have resulted in isolating
inform types within a variety. 1t has
leen found that so-called varieties of
.orn are largely conglomerates of many
distinct types, and to arrive at basic
sacts in breeding work it is necessary
to segregate these uniform types. :.
