Prof. IL. j. waters, Dean OF the
Agricultural Department at Col
umbia, delivered a very inte rest
Ing discourse on "corn" at the
Grain Dealers Union Meeting held
at the Ringo Hotel, Mexico, Mo.
April 23rd 1908. He urged every
grsin dealer to use his influence to
get every farmer to improve the
quality Of his corn. In order to do
this every farmer should plant at
least one acre of corn for his next
years seed. This should be from
the best selection. using only the
middle part of the ear In order to
get all grains uniform, then 1t
should be planted in hills about
3 i-2 feet apart. This should be
cultivated carefully, as soon as
shoots OF suckers appeared they
should be cut of. just before corn
begins to form tasscls every stalk
that is too high or too low should
be cut out and only those OF uni
form size and with the largest
foliage. Do not wait until the
tasscls are out, for the pollen will
impregnate the silks and thus
spoil the good stalks.
Prof. Waters begs the grain
dealers to insist on the farmers
following this rule for the reason
that Missouri should be the banner
corn state OF the Union. Every
farmer should take pride In doing
this for his own welfare and that
of the grand old state, Missouri.
II we can he says, increase the
average production to only 8
bushel per acre II would mean
from 1900, 900 to 20, 900, 100 bushel
per year more and he says there Is
no reason why We should not in
crease this still more. To show
the interest the state OF Missouri
manifests In this respect the
agricultural department proposes
to furnish about 100 bushel OF
pedigreed corn. As this Is furnish-
ed free OF charge and express
charges prepaid, Mr.. L. II. Alger-
missen made arrangements with
Prof. Waters to have him send
certain portion to Montgomery
City, and any one wanting same
will kindly call on him, or write to
Prof. II. j. Waters, Columbia, Mo.
for phamphlct.
The grain dealers passed the
following resolution;
Resolved that the members OF
the Grain Shippers Union pledge
themselves individually and col
lectivcly to use their best endeavors
to secure suitable collection OF
corn, wheat and other grain for
the Missouri Exhibition at the
Worlds Fair.

The Panama Canal.

This canal IS the most stupenduous en-
gineerinF feat in the worlds history. The
total length Of the canal. from deep water
in the Atlantic 70 deep water in the Pa
eihe. is forty-nine and nine-tenths miles.
eleven miles Of which distance is the
broad channel Of Lake Bohio. The total
cost Of construction Of the entire canal is
estimated at sl44,255.55e, to quote from
the figures given by Mr. North oyerton
Messenger in his article on The Building
Of the Panama Canal" in the August
Pearson's.
The shsrpest curve Of the narrow chan
mel has radius Of 6,252 feet, SO the al
ignment may be considered good. The
commission has estimated the time re-
quired for vessels 70 pass through the
oansl-a period which, of course. will
vary with the size of the vessel and with
the volume Of the traffic. A ship of ay-
erage size-4oo feet long, so feet beam.
and drawing 24I5 feet-meeting an or
dinary number of other ships. will require
about eleven hours and fourteen minutes
TO pass through the canal.

Rocky Ford WatermeIons on the
Pacific Coast.

3. T. Wall and wife, for many years
residents of Pueblo. are now located at
Corning, Cal. A few days since, writes
Mrs. Wall, a seller of fruits called to make
sales, and among other good things pre-
sented genuine Rocky Ford Watermelons,
and, you know, they are the best grown. -
Mrs. Wall asked where the Rocky Ford
melons were obtained The reply was:
we sent to Rocky Ford and got the seed
The incident caused Mrs. Wall to write:
"l thought that you might like to know
that way out here. between the Sierra
Nevadas and the coast range of the Rocky
mountains where hoary-headed, stately
even beautiful, old Mount Shasta guards
as it were, the Northern Pass to this
beautiful Sacramento valley, in this land
of fruit and sunshine and wicked devices
the Rocky Ford melon ranks, curl and
blossom, above all others. tits really en-
couraging to Rocky Ford. isn't itP"
Mrs. Wall is a poetess of much more
than local fame, having contributed many
gems to various papers and magazines
A few years since she wrote for the En-
terprise bright poem on Watermelon
Day. In another column of this issue viii
