Editor The Washington Times:
The United States today 10 the
greatest and richest nation in the
world, largely because it has been
able to keep out Of war.
Its people for many years have
honored George Washington az
the great founder Of this Repub-
lie, and have followed his injunc-
ton to keep free from foreign
entangling alliances and their con-.
sequent complications and con-
flicts.
Therefore, the nation, as it de.
veloped its resources and created
wealth, has been able to keep
that wealth and has not been
compelled to dissipate 1t in wars.
We see that every nation in
Europe which had accumulated
any wealth during the past gen.
Grafton lost practically all that
wealth in this latest exhausting
and destructive conflict. And 80
1t has been with those European
nations for centuries.
AS soon az they accumulated
some wealth in peace, wars came
along which wasted it and threw
them into poverty again.
Richest Nation in Word.
While this nation, isolated, for
tunately, and following the pre-
cepts Of its great founder to keep
out OF European wars, has accu-
INFLATED the wealth it created
until 1t is the richest nation in
the world and the center of the
world financially and industrially.
We have spoken merely OF
wealth, but while we were pre-
serving our wealth by keeping
out OF war, we have also pre-
served our welfare, our health
and our happiness.
It is possible that European ma
tons with all their inherited
>hatreds, their differences Of
speech and race and custom, their
history Of aggressive schemes of
conquest, their warlike establish.
ments and militaristic forms of
government, may not be able to
keep out Of war.
But we are not cursed with any
Of these hereditary evils. We are
not in direct contact with war
like neighbors. We have no
boundary lines over which con-
tinually to quarrel.
No Race HOstiIities.
We have no race hostilities.
We have no militaristic govern
ment, no imperialistic policies to
compel war.
We can keep out Of war. All
we have to do to keep out of
war Is to do as we have done
before-follow the injunctions Of
the wise founders Of the Nation,
take. advantage of our fortunate
isolation, keep free from foreign
entanglements. refrain from med
ding in matters that do not con.
Germ us, AVOID interfering in a
situation where we cannot do any
good to others and where we may
do infinite harm to ourselves.
One Of the ablest and wisest
rulers in Europe recently said In
a private interview:

HOW To Protect
CORN FROM WEENL
Pest Destroys Many Thousands
Of Dollars Worth Annually in
Georgia

The corn weevil destroys annual
ly thousands of dollars worth Of
corn in storage DURING the winter.
Preparations for fighting this des-
uuctive pest shoud be made now,
advises DR.. F. H. Lathrop, Chisf of
the Entomology Division.
The crib or bins should be
cleaned out, and the leftover corn
should be removed from bins in
which new corn is to be stored.
After the bins are thoroughly swept
out, the sweepings should be
burned.
When the corn is harvested, it
should be carefully examined. Ii
the shucks are tight, especially
about the tips Of the ears, the corn
will be protected from insect in.
jury to large extent, and should
be stored with the shucks on. If
the shucks are loose, and the tips
of the ears exposed, the corn will
probably be found infested with
weevils. In this case the corn
should be shocked at some dist .,nce
from the storage bins, as this will
get rid of many of the weevils be-
fore the corn is stored.
The corn should be examined
from time to time during the winter

Tops, the corn should be promptly
fumigated with carbon bisulfide.
This is an inexpensive method of
treatment and will prevent much of
the weevil injury to corn in storage.
