Sooner or later there must be an
authoritative ruling either by Attor-
ney General Daugherty or the supreme
court of the United States-and a
great deal hangs or low that decision
is made.
So far the Anti-Saloon league has
acted with perfect consideration for
the administration General Counsel
Wayne Wheeler, of the league, and its
official spokesman, has side-stepped
the direct question, contenting himself
with the declaration that under the
law foreign ships had no more right
than American ships to come into
ports with liquor on board, and de-
nouneing the motives of Adolphus
Busch in stirring UP. the controersy.
This is right in line with the argu-
ment of Chairman Lasker, who insists
that he will continue the wine lines as
long as his foreign competitors can sell
booze to American passengers, and
who also assaiied the Busch motives.
The Anti-Saloon league furthermore
has abstained from bringing the sort
of pressure to bear on congress that
in the past has forced through every
prohibition bill they desired.

to increase so rapidly that the con-

event, the weevil inflicts about as

prevent that sort of result is to let
wet weather interfere as little as pos

(By H. B. Brown and J. F. o'Kelly)

The question may arise as to
whether or not it is worth while to
plant field of late corn. As a rule
early corn yields more than late, but
is not late crop worth more than a
crop of weeds on idle land? You may
have a field on which the cotton failed
to make a stand, or one that was too
wet for early planting. Some years
the season happens to be such that
corn planted in June will yield more
than if planted in March or April,
and very frequently, low wet lands
make splendid yields when planted
late.
If good seed bed is prepared
only a small amount of cultivation
is necessary for June corn-two plow-
ings may be enough to make good
crop. Weeds and grass are much
less troublesome then than earlier
in the season, especially if the land
is we'll broken.
At Agricultural College, Missis-
sippi, corn has been planted as late
as the middle of July and made fair
corn. But it is necessary for frost
to stay off well in the fall, say until
the middle of November, for corn
planted this late to mature. Corn
planted from the first to the middle
of June has plenty of time to mature
crop.
Late corn suffers worse from smut,

The impression is generally preva-
lent that Mexican June corn, or
some strain of the Laguna type, is
to be preferred for late planting,
and experimental evidence indicates
that varieties of this type will actual
~ yield better than number of 9TH
er varieties adapted to early plant
ing. In late variety tests conducted
by the Mississippi Experiment Sta
ton, the last three years, Station La
guna, Mexican June, and Goliad
ranked high in yields but in tests
planted earlier their comparative
yields were not so good. These vari-
cites are all similar in several res
poets. They have large vigorous
stalks that appear to grow well if
there is any possible chance. Leaves
are numerous, large, and a dark
green. Ears are of medium length,
rather thick, and well protected by
heavy, closely fitting shucks. The
kernels are smooth, uninterrupted,
and medium hard.
