WHITE AND YELLOW
CORN YIEFOR FAVOR
National Organization Urges
More of White Cereal Be
Raised in West.
SOUND WORD OF CAUTION
- (From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, May 1. (Special.) Secre
tary Danielson of the State Board of
Agriculture received a message today
from Harry L, Hawkell, secretary
o fthe National Association of White
Corn Millers, in which he urges that
more attention be given to the raising
of white corn vhis year, contending
that the demand will be great for
flour grits and hominy to help out the
known wheat shortage and therefore
white corn will demand a better price
than the yellow variety .
Secretary Danielson. while of the
opinion that it might be well to plant
more white corn to take the place of
the acreage of wheat that had to be
plowed up, insists the farmers should
not foreet that the cattle of the
country will have to be fed and fat
tened and that the meat proDiem ot
the future is of as much consequence
as the other food problems and that
thre must be a big crop of yellow
corn to take care of the feeding of
stock.

Cairo, Egypt, April 18. Military
men here do not believe the British

Palestine is secured, which may take

The strength ot Jerusalem for de
fence is very good. This is no. due to
it. ancient walls and towers, nor to
the trenches which the Turks have
dugrountlahont, but to the fact that
the city lies some 2,400 feel above
sea level, encircled by rugged moun
