My Dear Senator Lodge:
Replying to your inquiry relative

requesting the President 10 call an
economic conference 70 deal with

Europe, I write 20 say that ! know OF
no prohibition against such an eN-
preston on the part Of the Congress,
but do frankly question the desira-
bility Of such an expression. l think
IL Il undesirable because Of false I'm.
pressions which may be conveyed
thereby 10 Europe. and even more
undesirable because Of the wrong inn
preston il conveys 10 our own people.
On the face OF things II Is equiya-
lent - saying that the executive
branch OF the government which Is
charged with the conduct Of foreign
relations Is not fully alive 10 a world

the United States.
As matter Of fact the European
situation has been given most thor

more seemly, and the action Of the
Congress could be taken much more

quency of infection and in the vigor
of plants produced. These differences
are discussed in Department Bulletin
1O62, Relation of the Character OF the
Endosperm to the susceptibility of
Dent Corn to Root Rotting, by John
r. frost, assistant pathologist. The
Investigations were carried on Jointly
by the United States Department of
Agriculture and Purdue university
agricultural experiment station.
Ears of the dent varieties that have
starchy kernels have been found to
be infected with root.rot organisms
more frequently than ears in the same
seed lots that have horny kernels.
This provides a means OF selection
that may help to do away with the
necessity of testing every ear to deter
mine whether from the standpoint of
root-rOt infection it Is desirable to
plant. Starchy kernels are easily dis
tingushed from those with horny
endosperms. The horny kernel is
more or less translucent; that Is,
it lets the light pass through in the
same way that oiled paper does.
Starchy kernels are opaque-like a
piece of chalk.
Starchy ears Of dent varieties pro-
duce larger numbers Of weaker grow.
Ing plants, more susceptible to root
rots In the field, than do ears of more
horny composition.
There is an impression among corn
growers that the depth of the dents
is an indication of the starchiness Of
the kernels, but this has not been
shown to be true. .Chaffy kernels are
usually very starchy, but starchiness
is not necessarily associated with
normally-matured ears that are rough.
