TUESDAY. NOV. 20, 1917 U-DO ATS AND VICTORY It is now suggested that probably tin- small losses of ships for the past two weeks is due not so much to Uritish and American efficiency, fac tors to bo reckoned with, of course, but to the migration of subma rines to the Mediterranean to oper ate against ships going to the relief of Italy. Every ship loaded with supplies that is sunk en route to It aly will amount to something, and it would not be surprising if the Ger mans have transferred their. U-hoat activities to this sea. As the. Rec ord observed when the most grati fying report was. published' in Lon don, it will be much better,, to wait several weeks before passing judg ment on the passing of- t,hsubma rines as. an effective fcwtnr in v,a war. Thy remarkably able editorial from the Springfield Republican renro. laced in the Record Mondav loses none of its force, even in the event that the submarine menace has not been cor.qucred, because it shows con clusively that Germany cannot win this war. Seapower, which the late Admiral Mahan stressed so well will win mis war, as it will win all wars t h '1 f flin m mm ....... . ii iui uny considerable pe riod, and there is no getting away ",,m tn;lc lact But England and the United States will not desert France, Belgium or Serbia a condi tion that was not remotely sugges ted by the Massachusetts paper but t is well for the world to know what measures th twn j. pouvrs in the world can take -a are forced t accept a u they r.uropean power. ..n. from a (jlar- ..e at any list of workers or contributor. to a worthy cause in Hickory and the names will be the same a those that appeared on a list some time ap;o or that will ap pear on another list soon. That is the way it impresses the casual rea der. Is that the way it is always to be? Or can we not hope that the people able to aid in jyood caus es hut who have not done anythin? are merely holding themselves as a reserve, so that they can do more than their part later on? But it would be easier if they would join the little army that always is work ing for Hickory, the state and the nation. Hickory folks will welcome Rev. and Mrs. R. M. Courtny to this city, Mr. Courtney succeeding Rev. A. L. Stanford as pastor of the Methodist church. As pastor of the West End Methodist church for the past four years, Mr. Courtney added to an already good reputation, and he will fit into a field that has been im proved by an able worker and a loyal church board. The new minis ter will have the sincere cooperation of the Record in his work, a fact of which our other friends in the minis try here will assure him. The Record acknowledges a let ter of appreciation from Capt. T. A. Mott for some things said about the marine corps. Long before we knew Captain Mott, we regarded the marine corps as the peer of any branch in the service, and our ac quiantance with the captain has strengthened that opinion though all the branches are first class. Mother Jones, noted ' labor agita tor, told the miners of Kansas City that it was their duty to help the government to "lick the kaiser," and then to lick the operators. Send the lady to congress. The Methodists at Asheville went on Record against cigarettes, certain soft drinks and snuff, and we won der who will carry the news to Messrs. Duke and Candler, two of the largest benefqotiorte of, Metho dist institutions. ,'r ' ; BEATING THE U-BOAT The. announcement 6f Premier Lloyd George in - the house of com mons Tuesday that five submarines were destroyed on. Saturday is good news to the world. Secretary Dan iels announced some time ago that the American and British navies have found means, of fighting U boats successfully, though the secre tary warned the public against any giteat hope of driving- the U-boat from the seas. The menace always will exist, but it will be met, as the British Premier's statement Mon day shows. It was the U-bqat that the Germans said would win the war and it is the U-boat, it is now certain, that will lose it for them. Had the Germans not rfnVi. 1 ed a conclusion that .thy couidKEntie Plant Should Be Taken would not b in the war now ?d goodness . knows what would ha4jen to France and Belgium. The Italian troops are faeintr thp greatest crisis in their htetorv to day. Shoyld fie AiKstro-Grmans be able to force their way through tne lines near Brenta, the Italian lines would be. pierced and the enemy would be n their rear. It is a sit uation that will bear- watching for several' days, Kaiserism is making its last stand. It happens to be a spectacular offen sive, but it is the last card that the Teutons can play. The free peo ple will win this war. FIGHTING ENEMY SPIES Springfield Republican.

The orntry's greatest amateur war de Wctive, the Lord Sleuth of American journalism, Editor Rathom of the Providence Journal, no less, said the other day that "within three weeks 20 dangerous suspects all of them interned German sailors have been turned out of their employment in one New England institution on ac count of disclosures. One fails to understand whv man sailors should not stay interned.? itvo other phases of this subject should be referred to. We are not at war with Austria, according to a diplomatic fiction!, and that means, that all the offices of Austrian consuls in the United States are open and doing business as they ere in the days of Embassador Dumba. In view of the criminal conviction of one or two consular, officers of the Ger man government for offenses in the period or our neutrality and in view of the dishonorable intrigues of Dumba and Bernstorff in the same pe riod, it may at least be said that not a single Austrian consular officer in America today is our friend. How could he be, with Germany now fighting the battles of Austria-Hungary in. Italy, as Germany has fought them hitherto in Galicia, Ser via and Rumania? That the whole espionage service of our government needs to be unified and strengthened is also ap parent. Mr. Rathom is within the truth, evidently, in saying that our total annual expenditure on the se cret service of the treasury depart ment, and the bureau of investigation of the department of justice "is ac tually less than the amount of mon ey plaid by Embassador Bernstorff per month for German secret ser vice operations in the city of New York alone.' .

SELECTING SEEO L YIELD NEXT yEAR All Seed Should Be-Selected From The Field. TO SECURE BEST RESULTS Into Consideration And Seed Should Be Selected From Healthy And Vigorous Stalks. How To Select The Best Ears Of Seed Corn. The method of selecting seed from the barn late m the serine has cost this State thousands of dollars, an nually, in reduced yields of corn. No method- of selecting seed, either of corn or any other cr.Dp, that does not take into consideration the whole plant, will give best results. In se lecting seed oojm the main thine to be looked after is to have the seed come. from stalV that have yielded the liisueei 'MD.ount or shelled corn per stalk, vfim fluenced by specially favor V t 1 . - . able !Onovition8. It is absolutely im possible to secure seed of this kind Unless -the selections are made from ,tfee stamding stalks in the field during we larll. This is the time of the year now and the only time at which these elections can be made. Bvey corn grower should eo into his fields, when the weather is favor- ab and select seed corn for next y'S&r front those stalks that are bear- tog, the highest amount of shelled cor -v. Of comrse it will be necessary to see that no external factors have spviaily favored the stalks from which the selections are made. Ordinarily, wibere: corn is producing twenty-five or u- -rimA Place for Selecting Seed Corn. more bushels per acre it will be well to select the seed from sr talks that are bearing two well deve.' 0ped ears per stalk. In making th selections in the field, too great atte' nfinn should not hp given at that tinr e t0 the character otj xne ears. at'jr selection during the winter may made in the bam wnen a leisure r ime presents itself. The s'jiection should be made from stalks that are healthy and vigorous an on which the top and leaves have rof rained to thoroughly perform their ..art in finishing the complete devel opment of the grains. Other things being equal, the ears should be held in a drooping position; but the shanks attaching the ears to the stalk should not be too long. At least four to five times as much corn should be selected in the fields as is expected to be needed for next year's planting. The corn should be well dried out and should be stored in Drying Out Field-Selected Seed Corn in the Machine Shed. "barrels or boxes that will admit of thorough ventilation, but will keep out Tats and mice. From all the evidence we have gath ered from an experience of twenty Tears in experimental work, largely with corn, we are thoroughly convinc ed that there are few operations on the farm that when carefully done will give larger returns for the effort than will that of selecting seed in the way Indicated above. One might expect on good average land the use of such seed to give at least two to four bush els per acre increase over the average corn that would be secured in barn se lection. Let no one this year fail in North Carolina to select his seed in the field o that next year he can produce max imum yields of this crop for the ef fort and expenses put into the grow ing of it, C.
