STEADY DEMAND MAY AS
SURE CORN OIL PRODUCTION

Corn oil appears to have establish
ed itself as satisfactory product for
which there will be a steady demand,
according to Department Bulletin 9O4
recently issued by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. That the
oil can always be produced seems as
sured by the fact that it is a by-pro-
duct of the manufacture Of certain
staple corn products, and it is only in
case of an overproduction Of fats and
oils that it might be discontinued and
the germs disposed of as feed Such
a situation seems improbable, how
ever, and at the most would doubtless
be only temporary.
AS to the utilization of corn oil, 1t
is believed that within few years
the oil will be used almost entirely
for edible purposes. except only what
is Of such poor quality as to make its
refining Improbable. The sale OF
the oil in retail packages will very
likely be further developed, and its
use by bakers is also likely to in
crease.
The amount of corn oil used for
edible purposes in the future viii be
determined by the quantity available
rather than BY any question as tNits
utility. At present some bakers.
while admitting that it is suitable for
their products. use cotton seed oil
because the supply of corn oil fluc-
tuates so that it is not always obtain
able in sufficinet quantities.

THE TEACHERS OPPORTUNITY

The strength Of the United States
denends upon the practical patriotism
and sound economic thought OF ner
future citizens. These characters
tics must be developed in the daily
life Of the school.
Economists agree that the uni
versal adoption Of habits of intelli-
cent saving will strengthen our ma
ton tremendously. When every wage
Garner has a reserve fund Of money
the country will be sound economic
allv. socially and politically. !,
The teacher who encourages pupils
10 earn money and to invest in Thrift
stamps and War Savings stamps IS
doing much for their economic
strength and practical patriotism.
Each child who buys stamps feels
! partnership in the government; ne
learns the wisdom of Investing his
money in securities that ere abso-
lutclv safe; he becomes familiar IN 9
aractical way with compound Interest
and after he sticks stamp after stamo
pnon the card. he has a visual demon
stration Of how savings grow
Faith without works is dead. Thrift
without safe Investment, such as
government savings securities, IS
robbed of it's benefits. Its virtue lies
not only in its principles. but in the
actual practice of investment.
Each year thousands Of boys and
oirls in the United States are De-
orived Of college education because
they lack money.
You can remedy this situation
among your pupils by starting then,
IN the road to saving early in life and
,ncouraging them to safeguard these
SAVINGS in government securities.
You are rendering real service to
,ur country by promoting the sale OF
shese stamps. The burden Of war

HOW TO SELECT
PRODUCTIVE COTTON SEED

We make the following extract
from report Of a recent speech de-
iivered by DR.. Herbert ]. Webber, for
years connected with the Department
Of Agriculture, before the Lions
Club Of Helena, Ark, and which ap-
peared in late issue of the Helena
World:
DR.. Webber went deeply into the
,process Of seed selection, and asserted
that every cotton planter ought to
strive for etter product, with special
reference to length Of staple. He said
Sea Island cotton had been developed
from the wild state through lntelli-
gent and persistent selection OF seed,
and that the system was still followed
by producers of that valuable va
riety Of cotton. While connected with
the Department of Agriculture he en-
gagged in experiments which have re-
suited in the production of new va
rieties Of cotton, and all Of them have
1een selected with the view to
longer staple.
DR.. Weber described the process
trough which several productive ana
aluable varieties had been created.
One Of these was produced, from the
Russell Big Boil. He had planted
and grown several hundred plants Of
this variety. and one day while ne
was "combing" the lint from a GER
tain plant he discovered an unusually
long fiber. Careful "combing" OF the
remaining plants resulted in the dis
.overy that he had accidentally come
upon a 'sport" plant. All the other
plants were true to type, having the
short staple common to the Russell
Big Boil variety. He carefully pre-
served the seed of the sport" plant
and planted them the following year
There were few plants in the re-
sulting cron which had the unusually
one fiber attached to the seeds and
bese were preserved and planted the
following year. By this process Of
selection he had the satisfaction Of
eveloping in five years variety Oh
ne Russell Big Boil which had
uniformity long fiber, and thus q new
strain was created.
DR. Webber declared that the
sport" plant is not an accident. but
method employed by nature IN the
ocess Of evolution, Discovery OF
,eh d plant, however, is generally
cidental as there may be thousands
slants in. a field and only one OF
them a "sport." It should pc the
business Of the experimenter; or tne
breeder. to locate and develop TINS
single plant
The sneaker discussed other va
rieties of cotton which had been de,
-eloped urder his patient care, and
bowed clearly that the possibilities
or developing improved varieties oJ
cotton and other plants are Amos,
'inoitless; that they are simple ana
that no wizardrv is required. It Is a
mere matter Of patience and intelll-
renee. He declared that every cotton
olanter-every farmer. in fact-whoo
4 interested in producing improved
-arieties could accomplish his aes'r"
e he exercised the two requlslt.e,s
.,antinned. The trouble was, ne sac,
the planters would not try.
