No, reader this corn was not grown
by one of our local farmers! 1t wasn't
grown in the United States, even. II
was grown in the faroff Philippine Is
lands by Filipino schoolboys. Two fine
crops Of corn a year are produced in
the Islands.
The Philippines are doing some won,
lerful things in the agricultural line
The Philippine government has fine ag
ricultural schools throughout the is.
lands, and the Philippine legislature
composed entirely Of Filipinos, is each
year making larger and larger appro-
priations for this important work.
The staple food of the islands is rice,
but corn is coming right along in popu-
lar favor. Its use was given great inl-
petus in the last year because of a rice

shortage. Other important Philippine
crops are hemp, sugai cane, cocoanuts,
coffee, tapioca and nneapples. Lum-
Der is also all important Industry
There are hundreds Of thousands of
acres Of land lying idle in the Philip
pines, which have a greater area of
fertile land than Japan-this in spite
of the fact that the population Of the
Philippines is 11,000,OpO while that of
Japan is around 55,0G0noO. There is
every reason to believe that some day
the Philippines will have d population
as large as that of Japan today. The
Filipinos are the only Christian people
in the orient, and their young men are
working night and Hay to prepare
themselves for the responsibility Of
citizenship in the Philippine Republic,
which they believe to be near at hand.

SERIOUS bisEA1 OF. CORN ARE

FARM
1919 cRss WAs EcrED
Seed From r Such Corn Either
Not Ger Innate or WI b
Weakly Plants of
Little Value.

The diseases Of corn commonly
known as ear rots are very seldom
given much consideration by corn
growers, yet they cause heavy loss
to the state, according to C. w.
Edgerton, plant pathologist, Expert
ment Station, Louisiana State Uni
versity. The 1919 crop was very
seriously affected with these troubles,
he says. Even among the show corn
on exhibit at the State Fair there
was considerable amount of corn
affected with these fe;eases.
Affected ears are either covered
with white moldy growth or else
they are weak and the germ section
of the kernels re discolored. Ears
covered with the moldy growth are of
little value and are generally dis
carded. Ears which merely have the
germ section of the kernels blackened
or otherwise discolored usually pass
into tie crib and are used for feed
or forikseed These ears can gener-
ally bfy told by twisting them. Cars
that are weak or twist easily are
usually affected. Such corn can be
used for feed but should not be used
for seed
II ears affected in this way are
used for seed, many of the grains will
not germinate and many of those that
do grow develop weakly plants that
are of no value. The disease passes
from the affected kernel finto the
young plant and usually sta IS with it
through the season. Many of the
stalks growing from such seed pro-
duce no ears and few produce better
than nuh5ins. There is little aues-
ton but what the use of such seed
reduces the crop Of corn in this state
to considefaa1tle extent
In selecpl5se6rn for seed, no ear
should t<k11u used that will twist easily
E fh1lIjshef has the kernels loose on the
cob. ~

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.-Approval
of proposal to organize a 100000 =
600 corporation to finance the ma
tion's foreign trade was given today
by the American Bankers associa-
tion, in convention here.
President Halves was authorized to
call meeting of bankers and busi-
ness men to work out plans for the
formation of. such a corporation un-
der the provisions of the recently en-
acted Edge law, as proposed in the
report Of the associations committee
on commerce and merchant marine,
which was presented today.
The people of the United States
are. carrying around in their pockets
or hiding at home $4,000, 100000 Of
American currency, or nearly one
half the total supply. said Fred w.
Ellsworth. vice president of the

OF New Orleans.
THAT means that for every family

HOUSTON ASSERTS
|. j. s. EXPENSES To
Be FOUR BILLIONS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Govern-
ment expenditures of four billion dol
lars during the next fiscal year were
forecast by Secretary Houston of
the treasury department, today, in
an address before the convention OF
the American Bankers association, in
which he covered a wide range If
financial and economic problems Of
the nation
The secretary outlined the treas
ury's program for handing the war
debt, liquidation of which. he sgid,
must go on steadily in order that
finai redemption be accomplished
without disturbance to national life.
He appealed for the strictest econ
omy not only in our expenditures,
federal, state, county and municipal.
but also by thrift on the part of our
people" adding that the program
necessitated the maintenance of tax
alton after this fiscal year on a
level of not less" than $4,000, 900
annually.
Mr.. Houston said there were in
dlcations of falling receipts because
there was no means Of predicting the
course of business or incomes and
profits. The receipts for the present
fiscal year, he reported. would be
materially lower than the record OF
$500, 100000 last year, expressing
the belief that the receipts would not
greatly exceed the required $4,000,
100000 under the present levy.
We can not afford TO operate IN
a tax basis which would give us
revenues below those anticipated ~
the speaker continued. 'and in plans
for revision this should he definitely
horne in mind

BOYS At HIGH
SCHOOL RESENT
ALLEGED CHARGES
Say They Will Clear Name
of Charges Attributed to
Street Car Superintendent
Ford.

Boys of Central high school went
on record as resenting charges which
they said had been made against
them by L. w. Ford, superintendent
of the Memphis I Street Railway
company, at meeting held at the
high school building Tuesday after
noon. ,--.
According TO the boys of the school
Mr.. Ford had charged them with
many sorts of improper conduct On
board the cars. These included ac-
cording to the boys, pushing and
crowding on the cars in manner
which worried the conductors in
making change. that the boys rang
the bells on the cars all the way, to
Main street. and the motorman, as
a result, never knew where to stop;
that several window glasses had been
broken and that ears on the Peabody
line nearly always had to go to the
shop for repairs after run on that
line; that bell ropes were cut and
that troileys were pulled off the
wire. --.-
Some of the students made
speeches at Tuesdays meeting. in
which they acknowledged that some
of the charges were true. but that
stantiated by facts. The meeting
adopted a Nresolution pledging the
boys to see to 1t in the future that
there should be no cause for com
plant of the conduct of the boys.
| They also declared that Central high
school will clear her own name and
adjust this matter to her own sat
usfaction."
arose over the efforts OF the school
to have the cars stop directly In
| front OF the building, as when the
| weather Is unfavorable the students
| have to walk over the streets In
| raxp and snow, thus inviting colds,
| pneumonia and other sickness. The
students further stated that recently
child was knocked down by an au-
tomobile at the stop at the intersec-
| tion of Eastmoreland avenue and
Bellevue boulevard. and that the stu
dent body wished TO eliminate this
| dangerous stop. 50 far as'high school
students were concerned.
They stated that. at the request OF
| the student body, the Memphis
\ Trades and Labor council had re-
Gently appointed committee to
wait on Mr.. Ford with the request
that the stop be made infront OF the
building. This committee reported,
according to statements at Tuesdays
| meeting, that Mr.. Ford refused to
make the stop as requested. for the
reason that to do so would make
the cars have N stop three times
| within 200 feet, and for the further
reason of the misconduct of the boys,
| as stated above.
Mr.. Ford was further said TO have
Fstated to the committee that he wish =
