This was accomplished In the face of a serious food shortage In this country, bespeaking the wholeheartedness and patriotism with which the American people have met the food crisis abroad. Pood Administrator Hoover, In a letter to President Wilson, explains how the situation was met The voluntary conservation program fostered by the Peed Administration enabled the piling up of the millions of bushels of wheat taring 1917-18 and the shipment of asset during 1917-18. The total value of all food shipments to Allied destinations amounted So $1,400,000,000, aU this food being bought through or In collaboration with the Food Administration. These ffigures are all based on official reports aad represent food exports for the harvest year that closed June L. 1918 The shipments of meats and fats flndudlng meat products, dairy products, vegetable oils, etc..) to Allied destinations were as follows: fiscal year 1916-17... .2,166,500,000lbs. fiscal year 1917-18... .3.011,100,000 lbs. Increase 844,600,000 lbs. Onr slaughterable animals at the beginning of the last fiscal year were not appreciably larger than the year before and particularly In hogs; they were probably less. The Increase In Shipments Is due te conservation and the extra weight of animals added by eur farmers. ' The full effect of these efforts began to bear their best results in the last half of the fiscal year, when the exports to the Allies were 2,133,100,000 pounds, as against 1.266,500,000 pounds In the same period of the year before. This compares with an average of 801.000,000 pounds of total exports for the same half years in the three-year pre-war period. In cereals and cereal products re duced to terms of cereal bushels our shipments to Allied destinations have been: fiscal year 1916-17.. 259,900.000 bushels Fiscal year 1917-18. .840,800.000 bushels Increase 80,900,000 bushels Of these cereals our shipments of the prime breadstuffs In the fiscal year 1B1T-18 to Allied destinations were: Wheat 131,000.000 bushels and of rye 18.900,000 bushels, a total of 144,900,800 bushels. The exports to Allied destinations during the fiscal year 1910-17 were: Wheat 130,100,000 bushels and rye 1^00,000 bushels, a total of 137,400.000 bushels. In addition some 10,000,000 bushels of 1917 wheat are now In port for Allied destinations or en route thereto. The total shipments to Allied countries from onr last harvest of wheat will be therefore, about 141,000,000 bushels, or a total of 154,900,000 bushels of prime breadstuffs. In addition to this we have shipped some 10,000,000 bushels to neutrals dependent upon us, and we have received some imports from other quarters. "This accomplishment of our people ! this matter stands out even more clearly if we bear Is mind that we had available in the fiscal year 1916-17 from net carry-over and as surplus over our normal consumption about 200,000,000 bushels of wheat which ws were able to export that year without trenching on our home loaf," Mr. Hoover said. "This last year, however, owing to the large failure of the 1017 wheat crop, we had available from net carry-over and production and Imports only just about our normal consumption. Therefore our wheat shipments to Allied destinations represent approximately savings from our own wheat bread. "These figures, however, do not fully convey the volume of the effort and sacrifice made during the past year by the whole American people. Despite the magnificent effort of our agricultural population In planting a much Increased acreage In 1017, not only was there a very large failure In wheat, but also the corn failed to mature properly, and our corn Is our dominant crop. "I ana sure," Mr. Hoover wrote in ' concluding his report, "that all the I millions of our people, agricultural as i well as urban, who hnve contributed 1 to these results should feel a very definite satisfaction that In a year of I universal food shortages In the north- ! ern hemisphere all of those people joined together against Germany have come through Into sight of the coming harvest not only with wealth and strength fully maintained, but with only temporary periods of hardship. "It Is difficult tu distinguish between various sections of our people?the homes, public eating places, food trades, urban or agricultural populations?In assessing credit for tbese results, but no one will deny the dominant part of the American women."

County Boys' Corn Club for four years, and has been a county prise winner each year. Twice he has been a seo- 7 ond State prise winner. His article on "How I Select My Sedd Corn In the Pleld, which is riven below, makes g very Interesting reading. "One of the essentials of profitable n corn growing is proper selection of ^ seed. Stalks of the predominating type In the row or Sold should be chosen. If equally resistant and welleared as others. Oet the form of y the ideal stalk well fixed In your mind, and look for It. Remember the type from year to year and dont change unless yon should change to a different strain or seed variety. "I dont wait until all the core Is In the crib to sefsct my seed for neart year's planting. If you do. you will fall In the crop. The standing plant will answer the question as to whether the selected ears have oome from good stalks. I always try to be sure to get pimu uiai grow aot imi than twe or not mora than threo good oars to the stalk, and not mors than half-war ay ths stalk. I sslsct the woH-Allod oars, not too largo nor too small, but medium slso, and sound. Ths shack should bo looss on ths grain and should hare a wholosoms look. I always try to sslsct my sssd corn from ths stalks standing whsrs they grow, as soon as rips, and bsfors ths frst hard frssse. I select ears from the stalks that have produced the most corn without having any special advantages. such as space, moisture or fertility. The most- Important consideration Is to select seed from those plants which have the ability to furnish the largest quantity of dry shelled corn. .Early maturity is a desirable quality, and so are short, thick, windfirm stalks; top-heavy ones with ears borne too high are likely to mean losses. collect my plants that hear my seed ears and cut off the top and bottom and hang the part on which the ears are fastened, la some convenient place In the crib or barn. This will keep In mind how the plants looked in the field. "I co through my corn and cut the diseased and stunted stalks about July first or August first, so as to prevent crossing with the good stalks that are to furnish my seed. Now, if I am going to plant on upland. I do not use seed that has been long grown on lowland, and if I am going to plant on lowland. I use my field selected seed that has given best results nn ha IrinH nf Ien4 ?* ? Wt (WUV? MB IBI mm (fuasiuio. I plant seed that grew on the same type of soil that I am going to cultlvate.

They do not make tha largest and best show ears, but they do make the largest yields, and the greatest money value per acre. I prefer Goodman's Prolific Variety." _______________ Columbia.?The State Council of Defense has gone on record, by the adoption of resolutions at tha bi-monthly meeting held here, as favoring a government financed cotton corporation; and recommendation has been made 'o President Wilton and Congress that action be taken, through the forma'.lo? of raeh a governmental agency, o fix a minimum price which tha .'urmor may ho guaranteed for h.'s cct?
