He figures he has spent more than
10000 hours in the air, and his

nearly lost his life on two occasions

Export Slump Alarms
Chinese Merchants

Shanghai. Sept. 16.-LP)-In an ef-
fort to help revive the disrupted tea
export trade Of China, the Marking
government has abolished the export
tax on virtually all classes Of China
teas. The action has been taken as
a result Of protests by Shanghai mer-
chants that the tea exports have
decreased alarmingly.
The Marking officials, while allow
ing abolition Of the taxes, point out
that the qualities of China tea have
not been maintained recently and that
this is. undoubtedly partly respon-
sible for the falling off Of the trade.
The government instructs the mer-
chants to form an organization which
will guarantee the quality of export
cd teas.

WARN FARMERS
ON SEED CORN
500 Urges Selecting of Ears
NOw-SituatiOn Called
Dangerous

North Dakota farmers are very apt
to fail TO appreciate the dangerous
seed corn situation that confronts
the corn growing sections of the
United States this year, according to
the agricultural department Of the
500 Line.
The cool late spring. together with
prolonged rainy weather, resulted in
the latest planting Of corn through
Iowa. Ohio, Illinois. Wisconsin and
Minnesota that has occurred in the
last twenty-five years. Recent sur
vcys show that even il frost holds off
until October LIST, not moro than so
per cent Of the corn will be mature.
The moisture content of corn drops
very rapidly at maturity. going from
80 per cent to Is per cent in a week
or ten days of good ripcning weather.
It is the early freeze that usually
ruins corn for seed purposes. Cold
weather Is not injurious to seed corn
unless the moisture content is above
10 per cent. But when the moisture
content is 20 per cent or above a
sharp freeze Injuries the germ so that
It either does not grow or produces
very weak sprout which easily rots
and become diseased.

or to provide his seed corn for next
spring needs. Not only will seed corn
be- high priced next spring. but it
will also be Of poor quality judging
from the present outlook, Mr.. John.
son says. Seed corn that is adapted
to North Dakota conditions is worth
considerably more than corn from
distant points. The corn crop in
North Dakota is far enough advanced
that good seed can be selected from
hundreds Of fields, and the farmer
who spends a few days field picking
seed and properly storing it can
make real wages for each days work
so expended.
Should h Out Of Milk Stage
Ears should be going out of milk
stage when picked and the greatest
Of care should be used in drying and
storing these cars. The moisture
must be reduced in these cars or
they will be just as liable to result
in poor seed as If left in the field.
II piled in a heap these cars will
heat and the germs he killed. II not
dried. freezing weather will injurc
them just as readily as If left on the
stalk.
There are many methods Of stor.
ing and drying seed corn. Sticks
with nails driven in them on which
the butt Of the car is driven is one
method. Using cut sections from
wire fencing and placing an cor on
each cut stay wire is another method.
Another method, favored for its
economy of space. is to take binder
Irvine, using double strands, and
lace the ears in. one on top Of the
other, crossing the Irvine as each car
is added to keep the ears separated
and still easy to move. Hang these
strung ears to the ceiling Of a room
where il possible fire is made each
day and windows opened to allow
free circulation Of air. When
thoroughly dry the corn may safely
be stored away for use next spring.
The 500 Line agricultural depart
ncnt will be glad to write any farm
or more in detail regarding storing
and will come to any community
where few farmers wish help on
selecting and storing.
