SEED CORN.
A Farmer Should Select and Develop
Corn For His Own Locality.

A Farmer should Select and Develop
Corn For His Own Locality.
No person can grow as good seed for
the farmer as he can grow himself.
And certainly when he finds 1T necessa-
ry to purchase seed he should not have
to 90 far from home. People say seed
runs out" They say a change of seed
is necessary; they say that they must
bring In new varieties from long dis
tance in order to increase the vigor. A
scientist and practical farmer, Profess
or Andrew VI. Soule Of the University
Of Tennessee, affirms that all these
things are untrue Seeds, he says, run
out because they do not receive the
care and attention on the average farm
that the originator gave them in their
process of development:
Corn has been grown on the same
farm and on the same land for years
and years and has gradually improv-
ed throughout the whole period. Not
able examples Of this are found In the
case of Boon County White, developed
by Mr. Riley Of Thornton, Ind, and
Early Leaning, developed by j. >.
Leaning Of Wilmington, o. These va
rleties, through intelligent selection,
have become two Of the standard va
rieties Of the great corn belt.
Professor Soule recommends the
farmer to produce his own seed corn
because II is a needless expense to pur-
chase fresh seed every year. and when
once he obtains variety adapted to his
soil and climatic conditions 1t will give
a larger yield and prove more satisfac-
tory II he selects 1t so as to keep the
type uniform and the quality and yield
up to a certain standard.
Probably it is more important that
the farmer produce his own corn seed
than the seed OF almost any other crop
because the plant is so susceptible to
climatic influences. Notice the differ
ence between the characteristics OF
corn produced In the semitropical re-
gions and of that growing In Minneso-
tn. In the tropics the stalk Is enor-
nous. Under irrigation In Mexico Of
ten from three to five large ears are
obtained, and the stalks frequently
reach a height Of from eighteen to
twenty feet. In Minnesota, on the 9th
er hand, the ears are small, and the
stalk Is not more than from FIVE to
eight feet high. A well established va
riety of river bottom corn, such as
Huffman, when grown on uplands fire.
quently proves unsatisfactory.
The studious farmer has noted that
the variety Of corn that does well on
his neighbor's farm may not do as well
on his He has also observed that corn
brought into Tennessee from Iowa or
even from Ohio does not do well the
first year, though 1t may do better the
second and third. On the other hand,
he has sometimes observed that corn
brought from neighboring states and
counties IL an utter failure. All these
things plainly teach us that the farm
er should pay attention to the selec-
ton and development Of corn for his
own locality and for his specific needs.

The distracting headaches from which
so many women suffer make life daily
purgatory. If men suffered with head
ache as women do, business would be
almost at a standstill. Does not the fact
that women only suffer from these severe
headaches suggest that there must be
wonlanly cause for theml
When the womanly organism is dis
eased, headache, backache, nervousness
and sleeplessness are consequences which
are sure to follow.

Sketch.

The Burlington Clipper recently
printed the following appreciative sketch
of Middlebury man:
'It's long journey that one has to
travel to find more genial, alert and
thoroughly courteous gentleman than
Col. Thad NJ. Chapman of Middlebury,
Addison county's high sheriff and the
newly-elected chairman of the republican
state committee.
"Thaddeus NJ. Chapman, or "Thad" as
he is better known to his friends, has
doubtless received more boquets from
the newspapers of Vermont over his
election as chairman of the state COM
mittee than any of his predecessors. AS
sheriff of his county he has yet to re.
ceive criticism for any of his official acts,
although his term of Office has extended
over period of 16 years. He was elected
in 1880
"Col. Chapman has been a member of
the republican state committee since
1890 and in point of service is the Oldest
member on the committee.
He was born in Middlebury in 1916
and was in the class of 1866, Middlebury
college. Completing his education at
Hobart he received the degree of A. B.
from that institution in 1866, and the
degree of A. NJ. was conferred upon him
by Middlebury college in 1888. He is a
member of the Chi Psi fraternity and
prominent inIMasonic circles.
"Col. Chapman has occupied the at
tention of the public eye on many &C.
casions. Among such occasions may be
mentioned the capture of the Shaws,
Dustin and his son, Frank, who figured
in Vermont's sensational man hunt few
years ago. Sheriff Chapman was also
one of the central figures in the East
wood murder case in Addison county
years ago. AS a raconteur Col. Chapman
has few equals and when "Thad" fills up
his celebrated and highly colored clay
pipe and gets reminiscent there is always
an interesting story on the schedule.
1.-The coloners politics are of the IA
carat, non-shrinkable, all-wool and a
yard wide republican type. He is a
born leader of men and although termed
one of the most astute of Vermonts
politicians he does not seek office and
aside from holding town Office he has
never held other than that of sheriff
which he will relinquish at the expira-
ton of his term.
"Col. Chapman is married and has
two charming daughters and wife,
likewise as genial and charming an
entertainer as her husband. Mr.. Chap.
mans home THE Heights" about a
quarter of a mile southwest of Middle
bury village, commands one of the finest
views to be had of the Green Mountain
range.
"Col. Chapman has been credited by
nearly every state paper as being able to
deliver Vermont for Roosevelt and of
this no one can entertain a doubt who
has ever met the man.
''In addition to his political duties Col.
Chapman is a business man and his
lumber interests are among the largest
in Vermont and cover several hundred
acres to the east of Middlebury.

PAY TRIBUTE TO The. DEAD
SERVICES OVER REMAINS OF
HENRY c. PAYNE.
Ceremonies Marked by Simplicity
Many Officials and Diplomats
in Attendance.

Washington, Oct 8. - Although an Of
fetal funeral, the services in St. John
church Friday over the body of the late
Henry c. Payne, postmaster general,
were marked by impressive simplicity.
Official Washington filled the nave Of
the hurch and, brilliant as were the
uniforms of the large representation
from the army, navy and marine corps,
the solemnity of the scene was only en-
HANGED by the sharp contrast of color
with the deep mourning of the family
and personal friends of the dead cabinet
officer.
Side by side with Mrs Payne sat Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt, both in deep
mourning. The casket was borne to the
chancel by eight uniformed postal car
riers. After them walked the pall-bear-
ers, Secretary Hay, Secretary Hitch
cock and Secretary Wilson, the only
members of the cabinet who were able to
reach Washington for the funeral
The service was read by Rev. Mr..
Smith and his assistant, Rev. Mr. Dun
lap, the only alteration in the regular
order of service being the offering of a
special prayer for Mrs. Payne. The
hymns sung during the service were
LEAD, Kindly Light" and Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" For the occasional
the vested choir sang "Hark, Hark, My
Soul" The selections were made by
Mrs. Payne and are her favorite hymns.
The members of the diplomatic corps,
out Of respect for the dead cabinet Of
ficer, were dressed in black, and practic-
ally every diplomat now in Washington
was at the church.
After the services the remains were
escorted by the postal carriers of the city
of Washington, in uniform, to the Penn
sylvania station, whence the body was
taken on a special train to Milwaukee
The interment will be in that city, the
home of Mr. Payne.

There has been renewed activity in
Japan along many lines, and the to-
tai commerce for the first six months
of 1904 amounted to $3.50 ,410,086.44, a
gain of $14,010, 22952, or 9Ha per cent.
over that of the corresponding period
in 1908. While it is true that the inl-
portation of war material has con-
tributed considerably to this result,
and to that extent the showing does
not represent a natural permanent
growth of the commerce of the coun-
try, still there was a marked increase
Independent of war purchases.
