Tho County Superintendent, Miss Gcorgio V.

WHEAT PRICE FIXED The following clipping from the Official Bulletin will be of interest to many of our readers in tho country: Section 11 of the food net provides, among other things, for thq-purchase and sale of wheat nnd flour, by the Government, nnd appropriates money for the purpose.
The pur-pinK of wheat and flour for our nllies, nnd to a considerable degree for neutral countries nlso, has been placed under tho of the Food Administration. I have appointed a committee to'detcrmino a fair price to bo paid in Government purchases. Tho piice now recommended by that committee bushel nr Chicago for tho basic grade will be rigidly ndhered to by the Food. Ad ministration. It is the hope and expectation of the Food Administration, nnd my own nlso, that this step will at once stabilize nnd keep within moderate bounds tho price of wheat for nil transactions throughout tho present crop year, nnd in consequenco tho prices of flour and bread also.
The food act has given large powers for the control of storage and exchnngp operations, nnd these powers will, be fully exercised. An inevitable consequence will be that flnnncial dealings can not follow their usual course. Whatever the advantages and disadvantages of tho ordinary machinery of trade, it enn not function well under such disturbed nnd abnormal conditions as now exist. In its plnco the Food Administration now fixes for its purchases fair price, ns recommended unanimously by a committeo representative of all interests nnd all sections, nnd be lieves that thereby it will eliminnte speculation, make possible the conduct of every operation in the full light of day, maintain tho publicly stated prico for all, and through economies mado possible by stabilization and control, -better the position of consumers also. Mr.
Hoover, nt his express wish, has taken no part in the deliberations of the committee on whoso recommendation I determine tho Government's fnir price, nor has he in any way intimated an opinion regarding that price.

IlWJb'JLZLJtt MMttMl Kentucky 'HK'H'WWm HOW TO GATHER SEED CORN At corn-ripening time, dro nJL other farm business, says the United States Department of Agricul-.
turc, nnd select twice as much seed corn as yotr think" you will need. The job is too important to bo conducted incidentally whilo -husking, and demands the entire attention of the farmer when tho time is ripe likewise the corn. Get the very best to bo had and preserve it well, because then, say the corn experts, increased yields will return mors profit thfm fruin-uny other work thnt can be done on tho farm. Tho one nnd only proper way to select seed corn is from tho stalks standing whor* they grow, as soon ns ripe nnd before the first hard freeze. As soon as tho crop ripens the wise farmer will go through tho field with seed-picking bags, nnd husk the ears from the stalks that have produced the most corn without having any specinl advantages such as space, lie will pass by the large ears on stalks standing alone with an unusual amount of space around thero.
Strains that do well in competition for light, and moisture, and soil fertility arc likely to repeat under the' sarao conditions. The most important consideration is to select sepd from those plants which have tho ingrained ability to furnish tho largest quantity of dry shelled Early maturity is a desirable quality, and so arp short, thick, wind-firm stalks; top-heavy ones with ears borne too high are likely to mean losses. Breeding experiments have proved that the tendency to produco suckors is hcrfiditnry in corn. Other things benig equal, take the seed from suckerless stalks.
