Farmers Urged to Select Seep Corn
With Unusual Care Due to New
Disease

Corn is the most important field crop
in the United States. Il is the big crop
In Tennessee. This great crop Is threat
ened by serious diseases known as rot
of roots, stalks and ears. All of the dit-
ferent kinds Of corn have been found
susceptible to those diseases snt the
most careful estimates possible indicate
that they are causing greater loss
in this country than any others affecting
corn.
According to j, c. McAmis, special
ist In sgrooomy Of the Division Of Ex-
tension University Of tennessee, this
disease Is widely prevalent in Tennessee
this year. This makes it very import
ant test farmers take steps at once to
control its spaead and Mr.. McAmis
states that the best method is by care.
Iul selection of seed corn The &C .usl
iosses caused by these us a es cannot
be accurately estimated. II 1t were
possible to determine losses caused by
poor stands resulting from planting in.
fected seed and also toe losses due to
stunting of the growth of the remain
ing plant, with the consequent reduced
size of ears, IT 10 believed that the total
loss would be fully 10 per cent and per.
haps more. They are caused by.several
organisms and probably by some other
contributing factors.
Selection of well.matured seed at th-
proper time from healthy plants seems
to be the best method of control. Dis
essed ears or even apparently heath,
ears from diseased stalks should not be
selected for seed. Field selection OF
seed corn before the first killing frost
10 one of the best methods of selecting
disease free seed but il is now too late
for this 10 most sections. However. IN
all events these diseases must be con-
trolled il possible and for this reason
farmers are urged to be unusally eau
tious in selecting seed for next years
crop. They should select about
five times as many seed ears al
will be needed, to allow for discarding
later all ears found to be diseased

In the past few weeks much
has been heard of the effort of
many union men of the West to
perfect all the workers of the
country into one Big union.
In the perfect organization of
all labor, there is in sight moth
ing but an endless scramble to
see which can secure the larger
share of production, in which
production will suffer far more
than it does at present. Wage
increases are for the most part
passed on to consumers in high
er prices. If we all belonged to
union and each demanded
more money, where would the
pay come from? There must be
a supply and demand; an equal
distribution of employer and en-
ployee.
The demand of the union
bricklayers and carpenters of
New York City and vicinity for
the tearing down of the steel
work put up on sundry buildings
by non-union labor and it's recon-
struction by union labor before
they will complete the buildings
is a demand for the destruction
of production necessarily dimin-
ishes wages-real wages, that is
and the public, which is labor,
higher prices or smaller money
must pay in the end either in
rewards.

One dollar a day was the pay
of the private soldier during the
war. Trying to solve the bonus
problem, the Ways and Means
subcommittee proposes to
award one dollar a day for every
day of service, provided the term
of service exceeded sixty days,
to every man who wore the uni
form at home or abroad, except
men who enlisted in the regular
army, all officers, those who en-
joyed special financial advan-
tages, and drafted men who re-
ceived more than regular army
pay as workers in shipyards, etc.
This arrangement is an attempt
to reduce the number of bonus
receivers from 100000. By
this it is estimated about 3,O0O,-
900 men will receive the awards.
In the final analysis it may be
that the service men who get
this bonus will not be any better
off than they were before; for
the simple reason that it is pro-
posed to raise this three billion
dollars by a special tax of one
half of one per cent upon all sales
of those dealers and producers
who "do an annual business of
$4,000. It will be not only the
consumers, but the beneficiaries
themselves, who will do the pay
ing.
