Mr.. Mccormick signed as he thought. an
agreement as to one department Of his
business. That was some time ago. When
the strike of the teamsters was declared
against him as a master in the teaming
part OF his business he naturally felt that
he had a right to be considered a strikee
as such, without molestation. But the
teamers' union now claim that IL was
in error TO declare a strike inasmuch as
the earlier agreement that Mr.. McCor-
mick signed comprehended the business
that is now involved in the teamsters
strike. And Mr.. Mccormick protests in
vain that II is no such thing. For, as the
union has ordered his men back to their
work he Is powerless In the matter. He
is on the fair list for fair whether he
wants TO be or not and there seems TO be
no adequate relief for him.
Meantime so long as the teamsters are
willing to go back to work and Mr.. Nc
Cormick Is able TO find places for them,
perhaps the grievous problem that has
been raised may await solution until
more canvenient time.

Which reminds me, that the strike of

way in the work on the grounds OF the

phenomena is TO be attributed TO the
strike. At any rate 1t is impressive. For

BREEDING NEW KINDS OF CORN.

People who are laboring under the i'm
preston that corn is corn and cannot be
improved by scientific methods will have
such impressions shattered If they read an
article in the September issue of the
Worlds Work entitled. Breeding New
Kinds of Corn" Doubtless some of the
corn raised now is better than that grown
years ago. because there have always been
careful cultivators. but the probability is
that many farmers have the same varieties
OF corn that they harvested years ago.
They may select the best ears for seed. and
they may scout the assertion that new
varieties of corn can be had the same as
different varieties of apples. Taken all In
all. corn is the most useful and valuable
crop produced. For years, white, yellow
and mixed have been the three qualities of
corn; and while it has been known that
yellow possessed the fattening quality In a
higher degree than the white. the latter
has been preferred for human food
In recent years the agricultural chemist
has done much for the farmer. but the
work that has been begun in the develop
ment of new breeds of corn is referred to
as recreating. Two professors in Urbana
Agricultural College are giving their at
tention exclusively to corn breeding, with
the following results:
They have compelled corn TO grow for
man or beast or manufacture. They have
told the kernel TO produce more protein.
the great tissue builder OF the race or
they have told IL TO produce less. They
have told IL TO increase its quantity OF
starch, and to decrease II. They have told
IL TO produce large and still larger supply
OF oil, making IL commercially far more
valuable: and they have told II TO curtail
Its supply OF oil and give some other ele-
ment more room. They have told the ear
TO change its form. SO that it should be
longer or shorter or leaner or plumper.
They have told the corn plant to increase
in height and to decrease in height, and
they have even told IL that IL must weave
Its leaves on a wider and larger pattern.
| All these things and more have they COM
manded Of corn and in all of them IL has
obeyed.
Doubtless many who have cultivated corn
all their lives win regard the foregoing
declarations OF what the agricultural chem
lists have accomplished as the rant Of WIS.,
ionary. but the details of what they have
! done fully justify not only the statement
