T|ENTS|N'S SEIZURE
GONFUSES CHINESE
ManChurian War Lords Mo-

Clearly Revealed.

PEIPING, China, September GA
3o-year-old adyenturer, son of one of
China's most widely known adventure
ers, upset the political applicant today
and stage managed a situation from
which observers predicted he would
emerge the greatest profiter.
The new youthful figure in the blood
soaked Chinese arena is Chang Hsueh-
LANG, son of the old Manchurian war
lord, Chang Tso Lin, and himself now
governor of Manchuria, processing
loyalty to Marking and the Nationalist
government there but with his SYM
pathies actually in doubt.
Pressing southwark from Manchuria
yesterday 10000 of his troops overran
sections of Chilli Province, containing
Tientsin, port where great percentage
of northern Chinese customs are col
lected.
Shansi Troops Retire.

thousand Shansi troops of Yen Hsi-
Shan, head of the northern coalition

Northern China in opposition to Nam
king, left the city for the Shansi fast
ness. They we're not disturbed by the
new arrivals.
At Marking officials professed to hail
the action of Chang with jubIation,
calling him the savior of the newly
born Chinese state, but there were rea-
sons to think they were puzzled at the
Nukdeen governors actions, and not
quite sure as to which course he would
take.
In many quarters open doubt was
expressed that Chang, who for six
months, while processing loyalty to
Marking, has remained in Manchuria
without rendering aid to President
Chang Kai Shek in his efforts to put
down the northern coalition rebellion,

SEED CORN TREATMENT
Only Corn Which Has Undergone
Treatment is Recommended

That the treatment Of seed corn
with the dust disinfectants for the
control of the root rot and other
diseases, in addition to stimulating
the termination, increasing the
yield per acre and producing a
more solid corn at harvest, is be
comink an excepted practice
among the corn growers in Kent
county is shown by the fact that
at the present time abou one
fourth of the total corn acreage in
the county is being planted with
treated seed each year. Demon
strations to show the economic
value of seed corn treatment have
been conducted in Kent county
during the past four years by
County Agent Russell E. Wilson
in cooperation with DR.. ]. r.
Adams, Plant Pathologist of the
State Board of Agriculture and the
University Of Delaware, with the
result that the treated seed pro-
duced on the average 3.6 bushels
more corn per acre than the UNI
treated seed. In addition to this
increase in yield, it was also OBJ
served each year that the ears
from the treated areas were more
solid and there was less soft and
mature corn than in the remainder
of each of the fields that had been
planted with the untreated seed.
Although the increase in yield is
important, the elimination of a
Smyrna times., 1930-04-23

large percentage of soft and Gull
corn is one of the greatest argu-
ments in favor of seed treatment,
and in carrying out the program o.
economic production. In order that
additional data might be obtained
concerning the value of this prac-
tlcve, arrangements have been
made by County Agent Wilson to
conduct similar demonstrations on
eight farms in Kent county again
this coming year. A comparison
of Semesan Jr. and Merko dusts
will be made on four of these
farms, and the Semesan Jr. alone
will be used in the other four dem
onstrations, as these two dusts
are the only ones which are on the
market today for treating corn.
The names of those farmers who
are cooperating in this seed corn
treatment project will be publish
ed later, as not all of the farms
have ben selected for this purpose.
/ II ID ISCOIll1l4SlQSd ttld- SllIlcI VI
these dusts be used at the rate of
two ounces to a bushel of shelled
corn, and the treatment should be
done in the same manner that
wheat is busted for the control of
/ the sinking smut. To secure a
thorough distribution of the dust
over the seed, therefore, it is ad-
visable to use a revolving barrel or
drum. The seed may be treated
at any time in advance of the
planting season, as no injury to
the seed whatever will result from
the use OF these dust materials
The cost Of treating seed corn by
this method will amount to the
nominal sum of three or four
cents an acre, which is a cheap
form of insurance against soft
and immature corn at harvest.
