modern farm equipment. And for the
first time he realize what it has really
meant to the American farm. not only
in the matter of comfort and leisure,
but from the standpoint of production
and profit as well, to have American
farm machinery t. hel p with the work
The army has taught him the value
living couveniences, too. When he
first went to camp in this Country he
missed home cooking and lots of the
old-fashioned comforts he had always
had. But he found )mething new

Wherever he went in camp,-his own

William IL. Wyvill Produces IA lbs. of
Mammoth Tobacco seed

Mr.. William Fl. Wyvill succeeded in
producing between Ii and IA pounds OF
seed of the Maryland Mammoth Tobac-
CO. This the largest supply of seed OF
this particular variety that has evei
been produced. Last year the available
supply of seed was only about four
pounds. To help growers in Maryland
small quantity was purchased from
North Carolina IA IN er at $40 an ounce
Maryland M am n Ih Tobacco was de-
vel)ped at the u tiversity of Maryland
Experiment Sa45lon number years
ago. I1 m Ik15 an eXceptioaliJ large
growtn Aud on suitable soil will greatly
outyeli ordinary varieties. Conse
qu4ntly it is family growing in favor
wltn tobacco planters.
Early exJerim eats with the plant,
however, brought out the fact that un-
der ordinary conditions the plant
would not produce seed. Then sudden
ly one of natures queer pranks was
discovered and artlicially shortening
the daylight period, the plant was made
to bloom aud se4d. Consequently to-
bacco growers Who have depended on
this variety, have been instructed to
grow plants foc seed in pots which
ca! be set out IN the sun late in the
morning and removed to shelter early
in the afternoon. Tle protected hol
low in which Mr.. Wyvili's plants grew
automatically regulAtei the daylight
period so tnlt the seed Was produced
in the field.
srne plants from whieh Mr.. Wyvill pro-
duc4d his seed were inspected by off,
ials of the University of Maryland Ex-
pertinent Station and were found to be
true to type. Tne seed also was clean
ed al the experiment station, and is de
scribed as good, clean heavy seed by
DIR. L. j. Patterson, director,
Mr.. Wyvill's success in producing
seed n As made unnecessary the carrying
out of other pl ans which DE-. Patterson
had contemplated to meet this year
requirements. Arrange had
practically been completed for tn
production of seed in Florida, where
during the shortened days of the winter
months and under suitable climat,
conditions it can be produced in he
open field.
As an ounce of tobacco seed is usual
ly all that an average grower will re-
qIire for moderate area, Mr.. Wyvill'
supply will accommo date approximate
ly 224 growers.

slant difficult breathing, the choked up

States is in the best financial condition to en-
gage upon a naval program OF this KIND. ouf
per capita debt is the lowest OF all the great pow
ers, our capacity for rushing the construction OF
battleships is almost unlimited, and the lntla-
tive, enterprise and loyalty of our people are
equal to the emergency if this course is deter
mined upon.
But this seems to be a remote contingency
now The world is war weary and stated with
hloodsbed It wants as President Harding said,
less of ornaments and no war This is the
liphtened spirit with which representatives OF
the powers are approaching their momentous
and decisive task All of them have echoed the
presidents sentiment in form or another in
their official and unofficial utterances. The
world is pining for peace, not temporary cessa-
ton of arms during which the nations will pre-
pare for another titanic struggle, but lasting
peace based on mutual goodwill and fraternity
and predicated on the desire of mankind to pre-
vent warfare.
If Great Britain, Japan and the United
States, which are most vitality interested in naval
ornaments, settle that question, it seems prob
able that the other issues, which observers say,
are merely matters of diplomacy, will disappear
like fog in the mornings sun.
Paraphrasing a common saying the way to
disarm is to dsarm And it seems as II the powers
of the world have subscribed to that dictum and
intend to show that the World war did not only
destroy German militarism, but also pointed the
way to new era of international friendship and
goodwill.
We may we'll be proud of the part which
America has so far taken in the deliberations.
From the day we gained our independence
and dedicated government to the preserva-
! ton of human rights, America has loomed above
the other nations of the world as nation whose
people exalt righteousness and consistently place
the principles of honor and right dealing above
every claim of eXpediency or personal interest.
Our representatives have again demonstrated
our adherence to this principle and by their pro-
posals have proved that we have no selfish pur-
pose or Interior motive to serve. America seeks
only the peace of the world.

The Armament Conference

The acceptance of the American proposals for
limitation of naval ornaments by Great Britain,
Japan, France and Italy in spirit and principle
lays the groundwork for definite procedure.
The readiness of the representatives of these
countries to accept the plan proposed by Secre-
tary Hughes, and the unqualified endorsement OF
their stand by their respective home govern
ments indicate that the conference will be able
to deal with the realities of the problem promptly
and decisivey
All the powers have been overwhelmed by
the sincerity of the American proposal, as well
as by the willingness of the American govern
ment to give more than is asked of the others.
The tangible proof of the sincerity of our stand
is evidenced by the tonnage we willing to
scrap in order to bring about the naval holiday.
Irrespective of the final outcome of the con-
ference, history will record that America in this
instance was true to her traditional love for
humanity and righteousness, and unselfishly
sought to promote the happiness of the whole
world If other nations finally refuse to accede
to the American program, mankind will know
where to lay the blame.
And in this connection, it is we'll to call atten-
ton to the unofficial impression prevalent in
Washington that, if the other powers refuse tC
curtail their naval ornaments and accept oul
ten-year naval holiday, the United States will
not only rush construction the dreadnaughts
which are from so to 80 per cent complete, but
will also begin the construction of such large
number of battleships that no nation, singly o.
in conjunction with an allied power, will be able
to cope with us on the seas
