A" College Issues n— \y Bulletin on Crops to Plant at Once Choice Depends Largely lrpon Situation of Individual, Say Experts—Sweet Corn Recommended. Lincoln, July 13.—In answer to the many inquiries that have been streaming into the offices of the state o^ricultural college here regarding /the proper crops that may still be put in land that lias been inundated by spring rains, the agronomy depart ment of the college has suggested sev eral crops that might be used. The choice of certain crops to he put in at this time of the year de pends largely upon the situation of the individual farmer, according to the/ agronomy department's procla mation, made public here. The first jifuestion in this matter, says the /statement, is “what can he most ad vantageously used?'’ The crops that are suitable divide themselves into three classes, accord ing to the agronomists; cash crops, or those which may be put on the market this fall; fodder or forage crops, or those that may he fed to livestock this fall, and leguminous crops, which will give returne in years to come. Of the “cash” crops there are four nr five possibilities, the agronomists stated. Millet Crop Pays. "One crop that is almost sure to ripen ia millet,” continues the state ment. “There is a possibility that quite a few farmers might grow mil let for seed purposes, selling their crop to seed houses or to millers who use millet in preparing commercial chick feeds. Among the common ‘fox tailed millets' the German is prob ably the preferred. It is, however, a little later than common, Siberian, or Hungarian millet. In case this crop is put in so late it does not make seed, it may still he used as forage. "Another possibility is sweet com for seed. Some of the early varieties of sweet corn, if put in soon, should mature seed yet this year. A limited number of farmers can probably grow sweet corn for seed purposes, contracting or selling most of the seed to seed houses in the fall. It will at least he available for fodder, if it fails to mature for seed. Sudan Grass Recommended. "Sudan grass is another possibility. If seeded in rows within the next week It will mature ns a seed crop. It is a warm weather plant and does not make growth until warm weather. If put In rows it would come on rapidly and with a fairly late fall should ma ture seed in at least the southeastern section of the state. The seed has been fairly high priced the past year or two and offers good promise. In event of an early frost, the grass will make a good hay. "Buckwheat is another catch crop that might be used. It is not par ticularly adapted to most Nebraska conditions and will probably give best results in northeast Nebraska as it does best in a coo], moist climate. The probable yield ranges from 10 to 30 bushels per acre. It is best adapted to sandy loam soils or rather poor soil as it looks hadly on very rich soil. This is an objection to this crop because the flooded lowlands are generally richer soil. The crop will go well in poor land not yet planted to a < rop. however." Planting Instructions Given. The circular then gives recom mendations foF planting this crop. These, It suggests, are available free of charge to the farmers of the state, at the colleges or through the county agents. "There is still plenty of time to mature crops for forage or hay," says the college statement. "If farmers have livestock and can utilize these crqps, there are a number of them available. Ordinary black amber cane may be put in at this time and should mature enough to make good silage. Tests show that cane silage is practically equal to that of corn. For this purpose the cane should be put in in rows and cultivated as corn. This may he cut with a hinder and will make good forage Some farmers may prefer to drill In or broadcast the seed, therehy getting a finer stalk and more palatable feed. "Ninety-day varieties of corn, such as ‘pride of the north,' still have a chance tn mature and even if they do not mature they Will make good feed Alfalfa Needs Wet Land. “Land washed out or flooded is also a good place to plant alfalfa or sweet clover, this fall. The farmers who are thinking of increasing their acre ages of alfalfa or clover will find this land a good place for the two crops. It must he kept in mind, however, that the land must he kept free of weeds for the next six weeks. Mm h of the land, probably prepared for corn, has either been listed hr plowed. If listed, a two-row machine may he used to All the ridge. If plowed, the land mav he double disked to kill weeds, as soon as It is dry enough to get into the (hid Harrowing or disking at intervals will keep out the weeds until about August 10 or If.

The conference reports are from federal plant disease men and bar berry eradication workers stationed throughout the spring wheat area. k'These men are keeping a ■watch ful eye on early rest developments." said Carlton Hanton, secretary of the conference, "so that areas in which infection first appears may be intensively searched for common bar berry bushes, from which stem rust gets its start. "In South Dakota the light infec tion noted about a* week ago has not become general throughout the eastern part of the state and is far from being heavy enough to cause immediate alarm.! “In Minnesota scattering reports of light Infection continue to come in from widely separated localities.” Experts Plan lor Next Years Crop Strawberry Beds Should Be Renewed. Say Agriculture Experts. Lincoln, July 13.—Now that the era of strawberry shortcakes Is about past, the fruit specialists at the state agricultural college here are making recommendations for next year’s crop —that it may at least equal the boun tiful one brought forth this year from Nebraska ground. If the old bed is to produce a good Crop next year It must be renewed immediately after this year’s crop Is harvested, advised the berry experts. They outlined the following steps in "renewing” the strawberry bed: “First cut the foliage with a mower or scythe. After the foliage Is dry it may be burned off when the ground is wet or the foliage and mulch may be raked off and burned. In this way Insects and disease are elimi nated. “The next step is to thin out the plants. The growing conditions last summer and this spring were so fa vorable that unquestionably there are too many plants in the bed. If the bed is small the plants may be thinned out with a hoe, leaving a vig orous plant about every nine to 12 inches. The soil about them should be hoed and the spaces left between rows cultivated. A top dressing of well rotted fertilizer ought to be given if the soil Is not naturally rich. "Where the planting is arranged for team labor, renewing is done by plowing out the space between rows and one side of the original matted row.” Prices of Bonds I Advance in Spite of Fluctuations Quiet Buying Movement Aid ed by Continued Case of Money—Volume of Trade Diminishes. An Associated Press. New York, July 13.—Despite er ratic fluctuations, bond prices last week moved into new high ground for the year. A quiet buying move ment was aided by the continued ease of money, but the volume of trading diminished with the withdrawal from New York of British balances and the decision of the local banks to send their surplus funds to London for em ployment at higher rates. The shifting of funds from New York to London, which has been re flected in a 5c rise in sterling to around $4.37 since July 1, has been made to take advantage of both the lending and Investment market con ditions. Bank rates in London are approximately 1 per cent higher than in New York and the return on in vestment securities Is said to be more attractive in view of the abnormal situation prevailing here. With the relaxation of trading ac tivity, reactionary tendencies fre quently cropped out in the bond mar ket. The downward move of prices in any section of the list, however, seemed to Induce fresh buying, which quickly carried prices back to or about previously prevailing levels. At the same time, the declining volume of new financing forces buyers to seek employment for their funds In the listed tlnaneial district. The de crease In the week's new offerings to about *56,000,000 was attributed partly to the elimination of many scheduled issues ahead of time. Many corporations which had contemplated the sale of bonds before fall are said to have advanced the dates to take advantage of favorable market condi tions. Future requirements are thought to have been satisfied to such an extent that new offerings for some time will be confined to immediate needs which may arise. Negotiations probably will be concluded this week for sev eral Important issues, Including about $15,000,006 for a Japanese public utility. The revolutionary outbreak In Sao Paulo, Brazil, last week caused heavy selling of various Brazilian bond Is sues and had an unsettling effect on the rest of the foreign list. Losses ranging from 2 to S points were re corded by Sao Paulo state and city, Rin de Janeiro, Brazilian government and Brazil Central railway obliga tions. 1 With the County Agents \ Btockvllle—The Frontier county farmers* union celebrated July 4 with ita annual picnic.

Therefore get rid of the soil. A vegetable brush helps in cleaning them. Wash vegetables such as beans and asparagus thoroughly before cutting, and peas before pod ding. Wash berries before hulling. Place them in a strainer and pour water over them until the water that drains off is clear. Remove the products from the water as soon as they are clean. Scald apricots, peaches or tomatoes in order to remove the peel easily. A short precooking of the fruits and vegetables shrinks them and makes it possible to fill tlie Jars hot. Material should be put in as hot as possible to decrease time required for material in the center to reach the tempera ture of the canner. Pack loosely into Jars. Pershing Retires on September 13 Chief of Staff to Quit Service Following Mobilization Demonstration. By STUART JACKSON. Washington, July 13.—A silent, in visible mobilization of an army of two million men will be accomplished September 12 in every city, town and hamlet in the nation as the first great test of the defence plans laid down by congress and worked out ever since the armistice by Gen. John J. Persh ing, chief of staff, who w'ill retire from the service, on the following day. No bands will play, no recruiting officers will ballyhoo, no columns of soldiers with gleanjlng rifles will march down the streets—in fact, there will not be a single man in uniform or called to the colors on that day than "on the ,11th of September or the 13th." The affair will be a demonstration of mobilization plans. A problem will be presented to each community to solve—just how It would raise food, finance and train the number of of ficers and men allotted to it in the new community decentralized mobilization plan which has just been completed by the war department, and which supersedes the scheme of great con centration camps situated through out the country in vogue In 1917 and 1918. The nation has been divided into three army areas, each of which in cludes three corps areas In each of the nine corps areas :■ to be raised under tlie present defence scheme one regular division, two national guard divisions and three organized reserve divisions. The companies, battalions and regiments of nil of the units have been assigned to various towns and communities, and on September 12, the question will be put up to each com munity to formulate plans for im mediate action in case of an emer gency.

S. Goods Shortage in American Grain Yield Means Higher Prices for Productions of For eign Countries. By .RICHARD SPILLANE. Universal Service Financial Kilitor, New York, July 13.—Reports from financial editors of the country are uniformly reassuring. It might be well for manufactuers, distributors and financiers to give earnest study to the world wide ef fects of the sudden and pronounced shortage in American grain crops find the very great advance in the prices of wheat, corn, oats and all packing house products. The shortage in the yield and the increase in value do not concern America alone. They mean higher prices for Canada's productions, for the production of the Argentine, Aus tralia, East India and ail other na tions that export grains or meats. Big prices for Argentine beef and Argentine wheat will make the Ar gentine a larger purchaser of the vast variety of articles of utility that na tion Imports. That means the Argen tine should be a much better mar ket for American manufacturers of any and every character than it has been since the slump following the world war. Meat Countries to Profit. Australia, New Zealand, East India, the South African states and various other countries that export meats and grain will profit largely through the rise in the prices of wheat, corn, pork, lard, etc., in the United States, and consequently will have an in creased purchasing power. That means they should offer better oppor tunities to the American who sells everything from a locomotive to a sewing machine or an automobile to good serviceable shoes. The increased cost of flour and meats will touch the pocket book of every American, but there is a large compensating factor in the larger foreign trade that is opened to the American manufacturer and distribu tor. What Is of very great consequence Is the fact that It offers an opportun ity in foreign trade which may be of incalculable value. This country riot ed in a sudden and large foreign commerce following the close of the world war. It was conducted so loosely and so carelessly that it en tailed great losses. Foreign Trade Necessary. Foreign trade Is necessary to every nation. No nation is w holly self con tained. Profit In production usually is in the last 10 per cent. A sound foreign trade offers an avenue for the surplus production. Apparently, the business slump is over. A sharp rebound cannot be ex pected in midsummer. The mercury prohibits It. But the stock market, through the ticker tape, has been sav ing day after day that conditions are improving. It says it through the steady advance in the market value of securities. Money continues extraordinarily cheap. Conditions ahroad seem to ’.e working slowly, hut with a fair de gree of certainty not only to a better • basis from a business viewpoint, but politically. There is less evidence o{ racial passion and more regard for economics. COURT CONTINUES EXTORTION CASE Rockford. III..
