Results of numerous 1942 per formance tests throughout the State of Illinois were very favorable to white hybrids, both in single cross and double cross tests. "When the yields of white single crosses were compared with those of yellow singles grown in a different test but in the same field at Mt. Morris. Illinois, it was found that I the average yield for the whites was SS.l bushels per acre, or 17.3 bush els higher than the average for the yellows. Records kept of 30 white single crosses in a plot at Urbana revealed that' 1! of these 30 single crosses yielded better than 100 bushels per acre, the whole test averaging 102.5 bushels. In another test carried on at Mt. Morris with 10 early white double crosses and 30 yellow double cross es, the highest yielding double cross v as a white which produced 112.1 bushels to the acre. The average white in this test was 101.9 bushels per acre as compared to 9S.1 for the yellows. Similarly, tests were conducted at Alhambra and Bluffs, Illinois. At Alhambra where a 72-entry test was made, six out of the ten highest yielding hybrids were white, with the averae yield of whites 10 bush els higher than the average of the yellows. Although there were three times as many yellow entries as white in the Bluffs- Jest, the white hybrids overaged 140.5 bushels as compared .with 132.1. . bushels per acre for the yellows. Although white hybrids did not come on Ihe market for a number cf years after yellow hybrids, they are now getting in stride in the gen eral corn picture, with very promis ing results ' - i 4 iS- Visits in City Hears From Sons .

Law, minister of state in the foreign office, said today that Brit ain has asked the Italian government to remove Gen. Mario Roatta from the provisional cabinet as a sus pected war criminal. The case of Gen. Vittorio Am brosio, another cabinet member, still was under consideration. Law said. Both generals have been accused of war crimes in Jugoslavia. Asked if the generals could be sent to Jugoslavia in accordance with the Moscow conference announced that war criminals would be tried in the country where the crimes were committed. Law said it was a matter for the united nations com mission to decide. because of the critical need for steel plates.

(UP) President Roosevelt wants to know what the cost of living really is be-fore-ferfiiug "to labor demands to scrap the little steel wage stabili zation formula. He expects to find the answer in the report of a committee of five v.ar labor board members appointed to review the government's cost of living index, which was used as a basis of the Little Steel yardstick. The next two months probably will reveal whether the administration will modify or reaffirm its existing wage policy. The cost of living committee sched uled a conference with labor Secre tary Frances Perkins today fo begin its investigation. Here From West Coast tor Chester Bowles said their price would be lower. In a survey of Florida. Texas and California truck farm prospects, the department said, production of snap beans, carrots, celery, egg plant, kreen peas and spinach would be in creased. Green peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers will be fewer. Total winter vegetable production will be five to ten percent greater than last year, it predicted.

Will you be able to welcome him back with nothing but sheer joy and thankfulness in your heart? Or will the sight of him remind you, for the rest of your life, that even though your job was unutterably easier than his, you still didn't do it you didn't quite measure up? That would be a miserable thing to have happen to you. It would be a miserable feeling to carry through the j-ears. So don't take any chances. Don't just buy your share of War Bonds. Do that and then do more. And do it today. Plattsmouth friends will regret to learn of the death, of Mrs. Elliott C.
