ball went by and the umpire said,

If there was two men on bases. The
next ball Durick rolled out of his
hand as though he was afraid the
cover would get scratched and when
it got up by Will he gave it a smash
that sent it way v the ball
grounds and when Jim Rathbun
found it Will was tanning himself
and seeing his score counted. This
was the last for the other side,
though they should have scored in
the eighth. Tom Coyne was to bat
and he hit the ball a terrible swat.
Umpire Lawler was in the middle of
the diamond and called it a foul but
he was mistaken. The hit was at
least a three Dagger if not a home
run and made the boys a little warm
under their sweaters. 1t is hardly
probable however hat the result
would have been different.
The home team scored 7 more in
the It'll and 4 in the eighth making
the game a little on the procession
order. The boys won out by heavy
batting, Floyd Taylor was the only
one to make a home run, Lew
Grady made the most runs for the
Webster team but he played in
great luck getting first twice on
errors. There is no doubt but that
some better team will have to come

Securing seed corn for this years
crop will be q difficult task for many in
parts of the western states. The remark
able drought so affected the crop over
large regions that little of it is suitable
for planting. even IL any were matured.
Especial caution should be used in
these cases. The general rule should be-
to try to get seed from the nearest re-
gion having soil ami climate much like
that where the corn is 10 be planted.
There is a growing conviction that, in
case Of corn as with animals, occasional
crossing often increases productiveness
and size. Even if a corn grower is we'll
satisfied with the variety he is growing
it may be we'll TO introduce a little
fresh blood" occasionally. Some cars
full experiments have shown an increased
yield from judicious crossing of varie-
ties.
The type Of corn to DO selected viii
be influenced properly, not only by lat
itude, altitude and soil, but by the pur-
pose for which the crop is 10 be used.
Thus many cattle feeders in ~Illinais
quite prefer varieties producing long.
slender ears, partly because they find
such ears better for feeding TO cattle,
either when fed unhusked or broken.
Where corn is to be sold or fed after be-
Ing sheiiea the thickness or the ear Is of
less Importance. While the evidence OF
chemists is that the feeding value of
corn does not depend on the color of the
kernels this is we'll worth taking into
consideration. Different markets prefer
one or the other of the two leading col
ors. Where the corn Is to be fed on the
farm, color is an unimportant point rel
atively. Prairie Farmer.

workers Seven out OF s3 apairists af-
frmed that the worker bees controlled
the proceedings three thought that the
queen leads. several believed thar both

w. M. Barnum said: II don't know,

standing between bees and queen. Pos
sibly the bees create the emergency. and
the queen gives the signal"
Dadout & Son said: 'sWe think they

Is angry because young queens are
reared, and the bees are uncomfortable
for want of room"
Mrs j. n. Heater expressed the opin-
ion that. with a normal first swarm, the
queen is among the last TO leave the

gin queens the queen Is about the first

certainly be augmented by his announce

ease which has proved SO efficient for
chinch bugs Is equally effective for bed

other injurious insects
