-Armistice Day

With practically the entire world at war-and the
free democracies struggling to preserve the same
principles for which soldiers of the World war
fought there those who feel that the World war
fought in vain. We do not believe so-on the
contrary the soldiers who fought in the World war,
saved democracy for full generation and made pos
sible resistance force in 1941 Had the Axis Of
1918 been successful in military victory the as
socated nations resistance behalf OF democracy
would have been wholly impossible, and today
we most likely would have been under Hitler. We
have faith to keep with those soldiers who have
gone before. Tolerance justice, equality, freedom,
democracy, not words. They the ideals
for which soldiers of all fought and died
When consider this certainly America should be
proud of the soldiers who served in the World war,
honor by their works. they deserve to be,
on this Armistice Day

Good Americans

We do not believe for moment that there is a
Republican of prominence in the country now advo-
eating certain for the purpose of causing
the president to plunge this country into war, and
then the campaign issue. We have seen
such a charge made. Even though Wendell Wilkie
and many other leading Republicans may advocate
stronger more dangerous foreign policy than
does the president, firmly believe that they are
absolutely sincere in the matter feeling that what
they would be for the very best interests of
this country, and to keep this country out of war,
rather than plunge it into open conflict.
We of the belief that they have risen above
politics, are good American citizens, and abso-
lutely sincere in what they advocate. and do not

Corn Hybrids Show
Promise In Tests
On Maryland Farms

Field tests and farm demonstra-
lions conducted last year again
proved that good field corn hybrids
are superior to local varieties,
according to Albin o. Kuhn,
specialist in agronomy for the
University of Maryland extension
service.
Good corn hybrids are more pro-
ductive than local varieties, Mr..
Kuhn states, the plants are sitter
and stand up better, and the corn
is sounder. AS was true in 1889,
he says, much Of the corn was
blown down and tangled last year,
but the hybrids were affected very
little.
In order to meet the demand for
information regarding hybrids
that are showing superiority in
Maryland, a list and description
of such hybrids has been pre-
pared. A copy of this list can
be obtained from your county
agent, or by writing to the Agron-
omy Department at College Park
and asking for "Agronomy Form
No. g." entitled Suggested Field
Corn Hybrids for Farm Use in
Maryland 1941."
Superior hybrid corn can only
result from carefully controlled,
scientific breeding, Mr.. Kuhn
states. He advises farmers
against planting seed from hybrid
corn which they, or their neigh
bors, grew the preceding year,
because the yield is likely to be
less than from open pollinated
corn that they have been accus-
toned to raise.
Farmers planting hybrid corn
for the first time are advised to
plant only small acreage of one
or two kinds which have shown
superiority in local field tests.
