Henry Wise Hob on, Bishop of the Protestant Epis copal Diocese of Southern Ohio, who is also chairman of the Fight for Freedom Committee. His church headquarters are here; the nation al headquarters of the Committee are in the RKO Building, Radio City, New York City. During the World War, Bishop Hobson served as captain and ma jor in the liGtith infantry (S9th Di - vision), and was twice wounded and once gassed in fighting on the Western Front. "No one hates war more than I do," the chairman of the Fight for Freedom Committee said hen'.

P Watson. Exten sion horticulturist of N. C. State Col lege*. "By saving your own seed, you have an opportunity to select those ! plants which seem to do particular ly well under local conditions," Wat- i son said to farmers. "However, many | diseases of vegetable crops are seed borne," he added. Beans and peas are among the best crops from which to save seed. S?ed can be obtained by marking a few of the finest plants with a bit of cloth ill th?* beginning nf tho harvesting ? season. When ripened until the pods are dry, these plants should be pull ed in the early morning to avoid shattering. They should then be hung or spread in any airy, dry place until the seed harden. Then the seed sliould be shelled and spread out, not more than two or three grains deep, and when dry, stored for the winter in a cool, dry place. The best sweet corn seed can be obtained by allowing it to ripen on the plant. Select the best and earliest ears by stripping down the husks to examine the grain and to remove any WOphs that may be found* Then can-fully fold the husks back and hold them in place by an elastic band or a string. A convenient way to store sweet corn is by the ear. A single ear will plant a small garden. The S4MVe-rgeheral practices are used in saving other seed, Watson said Full information on seed-sav ing maybe obtained by writing to the Department of Horticulture, State College Station, Raleigh.
