Last year the kill- ing frost early in September caught the corn: unmatured and resulted in the t assortment of seed corn eyer seen in this region. The corn this y{n is now well matured and there Wil be plenty of seed corn in the best of condition for next sedson’s needs. Inspection of many fields shows that the corn is now well glazed over and a frost at an early date would not year a harvest time? stalks left in the ficld. els an acre, avoided, due to .fermentations and loss . unless the’stalks are shredded. ,_the corh #ill be | ' m the bhest condition and there .will Be an abundance of ears to choose The agricultwral experts:are urging that a sufficient supply of seed 'corn shouid be saved for two years as no ome tell what the conditions will be neft year. With a two-year's sup- ply of seed there would not' be any danger of such' a serious shortage as occurred last spring. The germinat- ing powers of corn are in no way di- miinished by storage under proper con- ditions for several years. The question of selecting seed corn ears in the field from the growing stalks instead of at husking time is a pertinent one. The experiments, which have been tried and record: which have been kept, indicate that such a practice does not result in any imcrease in the yield. On the other hand, selection from the growing #talks makes it possibleeee to take only those ears which matore first. Tn this section the big thing is to get early maturing strains and it is prob- able that persistent selection of the ears which mature first for use making a material gain in this direc- seed the following vear Will result in uon cornstalks are all consumed. is ‘added.

HEADWORK IN SILO. TIME By P. G. HOLDEN There is no task inethe year's farm work that will. pay more for planning and prepartion than filling, the silo. The cost of silage on some farms is a- most doubled because of poor filling equipment and lack of headwork in planping and carfying on the work of filling. The good farmer looks forward to filling the silo in the least possible time, knowing that it takes quite a force of both man and' horse power, and that he cannot afford to have any part of the force idle during any part of the silo filling. The causes for &elays!ar A poor cutter, uncertain power, carelessness, not enough men and teams. It is surely an aggravation to have a force of 12 or 15 men and several teams idle while the cutter or engine is being patched. It is cheaper by far to have a first class cutter and engine and be sure than everything is solid and in repair before the cutting commences, than to stop for. repairs just when everyihing should be working 100 per nt. . Look carefully ‘to the pipe:that de- {livers the silage; have it solid and | free from projections that are likely to | catch silage and clog the pipe. Go over i the knives before starting and tighten {every nut tight about the knives and drum. A few minutes’ time with the kntves and drum may save.a $100 re- pair bill and. maybe someone's life. » 1 Accidents result from = carelessness, {from things getting' out .of 'repair. Hava a supply of fuel and lubrications handy. Replenish' the work box with nails, have the wrenches, hatchet, ax and mattock handy. It's easier to do is on. ‘Have plenty of men and teams.

Paris, Sept. 1 (by ‘ma Shoulder to shoulder with the allies in meet- ing the latest smash of the Germans is a small, new army which wears he biue gray of France, speaks Eng- Iish with a considerable fuency and carries the flag of Poland. It's the first time in 130 vears that the Polish- flag is flying a® the head of a national army. But it is by no means the first time that the Poles bave rallied to the support for free- dom and democracy. Less than a month befors the Ger- mans started their July offensive, the new army received its colors and he- came a part of the fighting line. For months it had been.in training, first in. Canada, and then in vatious camns llets all the way from the south of France up to within range, of the battle guns. With the exception of .perhaps 2,000 men from South America and several hundreds from other countries. the whole army was recruited in America. Every reader wndonbtediv knows how active Ignace Paderewski has been in the recruiting and how he and his committee have worked to see that the amaranth flag of Poland with its white eagle shall fly once more in common with the banners of freedom. Most of the new soldiers were -in- eligible. for’ the American army’ he- cause they were not naturalized. Oth- ers.are well above draft age.

One of these features s the belief that the process of awarding deferred classification to a registrant requires merely the filling out of the questionnaire and that the selective service boards will perceive the pro- priety of making the defermént, with- out the assistance furnished by the registrant’'s formal claim ipdicating the deferment desired. The other fea- | ture is the employer'd failure to real- ize his responsibility to intervene in aiding the Loard's determination. and theerfore to inform himself fully on all the considerations yhich should affect ihe decision as to the deferment. Both of these features are due to a single largar -fact. viz, a failure on the part of many to reflect on the in- dustrial tions covering de- ferred classification. “As to the first mentioned belief it must be pointed out that if it were @ deavored to keep the pered and delayed. indicate .that the iduai case is vhich should the special | Attention of the boards in respect to the registrant’s occupational status. “The boards will. welcome and will need all the aid that can he furnish- ed by the indication of a claim made for deferment, But who is to make that Some one must claim? } Ordinarily, the registrant himself will g indicate the im on'his question- i ough mistaken chival- 1 to do so, another may make it for him.
