Farmers are being warned to test
their seed oats very carefully before
seeding this season. The average oats
crop in this state last season was much
below the standard in weight, and re-
ports of numerous experiments Indicate
that the grain is generally very deficient
in terminating power. Careful test
should be made at once; and no seed
should be sown that is below the stand
ard in weight and fertility.

A new auditorium with seating
capacity Of LOO, costing when complet-
ed, about $4,000, is to be erected at
Corydon. At a meeting Of the building
committee the contract was awarded to
Contractor Mardis, who will begin work
Immediately. For number Of years
past Corydon has been without hall
large enough to do the city justice. The
building will be built by popular sub
