HOW TO SELECT SEED CORN.
Matter for Careful Consideration
Now TINT Planting Time IL

When doctors disagree, who shall

we will have to decide for ourselves.
| have already decided, and submit
my opinion, hoping to draw express
sions from others to our mutual ben
eft.
should probably never have
thought of agitating subject which
has been thrashed over so often, had
it not been for the argument of con-
temporary brought to my notice a
few days ago, who reasoned that it
was wrong to plant only the grain
from the middle of the ears-that by
so doing the ears would get to be all
middle and no ends. Did you ever!
He must be Chinaman. | have Sc
lected seed from the same strain for
eight years and do not remember in
all that time of seeing an ear without
two ends, and have never planted
nibs, either. II has been my task to
secure all the middle possible, and if
enough could BE- secured | would not
be particular whether ears had ends
or not.
Some writer's advocate going
through the growing grain, and by ty-
ing colored string around the stalk,
mark that of most promising appear
ance and thus secure a strain of
promise. This | have found to be a
very faulty and slow way of getting
along, as often these stalks make
poor ears, and others not looking so
well make fine corn; so !, for one,
have found it profitable to select for
corn, not stalks. When feeding, if an
ear of special size and weight is
found it is more closely examined,
and if it combines good appearance
with proper depth of grain, it is
thrown into the seed box. If you are
one of the very particular sort, you
might look at the cob to see if it
meets your requirements; but | never
pay much attention to that, as corn
/
don't require more than ordinary
good sense to teach n person that an
understood grain of seed will produce
an understood plant, and it in turn
raise nubbin These small-end
grains tend to the production of ends,
I'll admit, but not middle enough to
suit me. If You can get an ear of
satisfactory size and form, why be
particular about what kind of stalk
il grew on; and if you are not, why
waste time and string by marking
growing corn for seed.
We are all interested more or less
in the development of something, and

Smyrna Dec 30.-James Ray. a stu
dent for the priesthood at Epiphany
College. Baltimore, who is spending
the holiday with several other stu
dents at st. JOseph's Industrial School
lat Claymont. had a narrow escape
from drowning at Duck creek Satur-
day morning. Mr.. Ray was skating
backward on the pond and did not see
a large hole until too late to save him
self. He sank beneath the ice twice
when two young men managed by the
use of two rails to rescue him. Mr.
Ray was sent home in a wagon and
has since been confined to his room
in the school Half an hour after this
accident, when near the head of the
pond ElwoOd Ford, a boy, broke
through the ice and was rescued with
much difficulty The two accidents
cleared the pond.

viii be much protesting Several
years ago the rate was lowered from
forty to thirty cents on the hundred
and the City Council was commended
on all sides. All that time the water
plant electric light and sewer were
paying so well that the treasury had
a big surplus every year. Last year
the price of coal for use at the power
house advanced from $3.50 to $3.50,
4 $l10 per ton. Over 900 tons are used
by the town yearly and now there is
a deficit The only way to solve the
difficulty, say the Councilmen, is to
raise tne tax rate so the extra s1,70O
for coal can be secured.
