"The vitality of seed may be re duced by leaving it In a sack or in a pile for even a day after It has been gathered. During warm fall days, with some moisture in the cobs and kernels, the ears heat or mildew In a remarkably short time. "The best and cheapest treatment immediately after the ears are gath ered and husked Is to tie the ears singly on binder twine at about eight- Inch Intervals, the twine being looped I about the middle of the ears so that they hang balanced and horizontal. Ordinary binder twine Is strong enough to support from 15 to 20 ears. "Wire racks are cheaper In the long and more convenient.

Forest Battalions Are Authorized The formation of a second "forest" i regiment comprising ten battalions and composed of lumbermen and woodsworkers, who will go to France and get out of the forests materials for the use of the American!, French and British armies', has Just been au thorized by the War Department. Two battalions are to' be raised at once with the active aid of the forest service of the Department of Agri culture.

The boy who clerked in a bank and grabbed his noonday lunch ln a "walk-around-and-get-lt" cafeteria won't be lone some when he Joins the navy. Yes, sir, the grab-lt-and-scoot joint has been established aboard the big battlers of the U. S. navy. It is one of the two new methods devolved for the serving of food aboard naval ves sels, to save time, money and food. "Under the old system," said an official statement by the navy de partment, "the messmen for each mess unit carried the food to tables ln platters and tureens and dished out the several Items on each man's plate some time before the men were 'piped down.' "They arrived to find the food cold and their plates piled with a regard to mathematical exactitude rather than preference of the palate. ' "The cafeteria and food container systems permit each man to eat what he likes and as much as he needs." At the cafeterias between decks aboard the U. S. S. New York, black boards bang above the counters show ing the blll-of-fare, and also Indicat ing what dishes a man should pick up on his way, for each Item. The men choose wha they want, then carry their trays to the mess tables, which have been set with cups, knives, forks, spoons, Byrup, pre serves and condiments. In the food-container system, par ticularly adapted to small vessels of the older type, Instead of the men forming In line, each carrying a tray, the food Is brought to the table In serving pans, pots and trays and the men help themselves. The new systems were worked out by Paymaster R. Venable of the U. S. S. New York.

It must he remembered that the number of a certain kind of car sold ln this state may depend upon the strength and energy of the selling organization, and also that several makes of cars have been unable to supply the demand. Furthermore, the most popular car In Oregon may be quite otherwise ln other states. Those cars of which there are more than 800 registered with the secretary of state September 1, 1917, are as follows: Ford 16,143, Over land 3,256, Buick 3,053, Studebaker 3,018, Maxwell 2,160, Dodge 2,121, Chevrolet 1,744-, Cadillac 1,024, Reo 986, Chalmers 811. (Continued from Page One.) the national committee that the fund will be a success. Salem Is centering its campaign on this week and in addition Is making a display at the state fair for the fund. Judge McGinn will make a pa triotic address at the fair for tbe fund. Marsh field will hold a dance and' has made other plans to more than clear off Its quota. In Portland, ln addition to the big business campaign down town1, every branch library has organized Its dis trict thoroughly. At Eugene they say they will raise easily their $1,000 quota. Up to date, 204 cities and towns In Oregon have organized completely and have announced their entire wil lingness to get behind the fund. A dollar subscribed to the fund will: 1. Buy a book and maintain lt for three years. 2. Pay part of the cost of the 32 central library buildings. 3. ' Pay its part of librarians' sal aries and equipment of buildings. Even in peace times a dollar aever did so much. It Is only because every author has waived his royalties and every publlsher-bis profits, aIso because the campaign does not cost a cent, all expenses having been pri vately subscribed.

' The question Is asked, What has become of the boy who used to raid his neighbors' fruit orchards? Well, some of them about now are hiding in their own little gardens with a supply of three-cornered rocks la tended for the neighbors' boys who are suspected of thieving. Chinese soldiers in the recen rev olution fired 1,000,000 shots and only killed E0 people. That sounds much like the city sportsmen out for the deer season. The people who postponed buying Liberty bonds last spring because another Issue was coming out in the fall won't probably buy the new lot now, as there will be some more next spring.
