BIGGEST CROP
Red Mans Gift To White People
Has Become Most Important
Item OF Commerce

WASHINGTON,-Nov. 24.-Corn,
the Red Mans gift to the White Man,
has come to be the nations most inn
portant farm crop. Consumed eth
cr directly or in the form of meat
and other animal products, it is the
Aacipal source Of the nations food
&pply. The 1921 yearbook Ct the
Department eff Agriculture shows
lust to what extent the three bill
hon bushel crop forms the basis OF
the livestock industry. Forty per-
cent of the crop is fed to swine on
farms, 20 per cent to horses and
mules on farms, and Is per cent to
cattle on farms. Only ten per cent
Is used direct for human food.
Corn was one of the most impor-
tant gifts America made to the rest
Of the world. The United States now
produces about three-fourths of the
worlds corn crop. That corn also
is an important crop in Argentina,
Brazil, Mexico and some Of the
Southern European countries, is
shown in the report.
Weather, insects, and plant dis
eases have a great deal to do with
regulating the size of the crop in
the United States. The estimated
loss caused by common smut alone
during the period OF 1917-192O was
placed at about 80 millions of bushels
annually. OF insect pests the corn
ear worm, where abundant, causes a
loss Of at least 7 per cent of the
grain on the ears attacked. The Eu-
ropean corn borer also threatens to
take a heavy toll.
1t is stated that the production
Of the corn crop is financed with
less borrowed capital than is the
case with other staple farm crops.
The reason for this is that the far
mer's income is distributed through
out the year more evenly than is the
case in many other section, and be-
cause the direct investment in the
crop consists more Of the farmers
own labor and less purchased ma
terial and equipment than is the case
in many other crops.
The yearbook, which is obtainable
through congressional representa-
uyes from the department, contains
much data Of interest and value to
producers, including chapters on pro-
ductlon costs and figures, financing.
and advice on production, according
to seasonal supply and demand 20
act toward preventing future crises
for the corn grower.

The problem confronting Tech at
this moment is how to defeat Au-

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when it fades, turns gray dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the. hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug store
for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no.
body can possibly tell it has been APP
piled. You just dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few applica-
tons, ii also brings back the gloss and
lustre and gives it an appearance OF
abundance,

FORD SAYS VOTERS WILL

Washington, Jan. l4.--Referring 10
the Senate action in declaring Truman
III. Newberry entitled to the Michigan
Senatorial seat, Henry Ford said yes
terday that "spe nding money for po-
litical Office has come TO pass"
Il don't think the people will stand
for IT," he added. They will make
known their decision later 1t will be
through these Senators who run for
office this Fall"
Senator Newberry spent yester-
day at his desk at the Capitol, busy
answering hundreds of kilograms con-
graduating him on the Senate's ac-
ton. He said he WAS happy to know
that the attacks on him in the Senate
had apparently not reduced the list
of his friends.
The Senator said he expected TO
stick on the job now that the question
as to his right to sit In the Senate had
been definitely answered.
