NAMED FOR A PANAMA JOB
John B. Berry of Union Pacific
Picked by Roosevelt for
Consulting Board


Consulting Board
Associated Press dispatches
from Washington announce the
appointment of John B. Berry,
chief engineer of the Union
Pacific railroad, by President
Roosevelt to serve on the board
of consulting engineers for the
Panama canal. Mr.. Berry was
notified yesterday of his selec-
Ition to the post. after he had
started west with General Man
ager Mohler, Superintendent of
Motive Power MrKeen and
iuther officials Of his road on a
tour of inspection. A Telegram
reached him at Grand Island,
Neb., notifying him that the
board will meet ut Washington
next Friday and requesting his
presence there. Mr.. Berry
will at once leave for the cast.
The appointment will not
lnecessitate Mr.. Berry's leaving
1.-THE Union Pacific, as it does not
call for his going to Panama.
The engineering board of which
he will be a member is an adj
visory board, whose duties per-
tain only to methods of canal
construction. Survey work and
determination OF quantities will
be done by other engineers.
Among those familiar with
Mr.. Rerry's labors as chief en-
gineer for the Union Pacific,
he is regarded as a man of ex-
traordinary ability and one
whose counsel will have much
weight in the Panama project.
Eastern railroads are said to
have had their eye on him a
year or two ago, but the Union
Pacific management considered
his services so valuable that he
was given extra inducements
to stay.

NEWSPAPER BULLETIN
INCREASING MISSOURI
CORN YIELDS.
Important Publication Of the Mis-.
souri, Experiment Station.

Recent Investigations at the Mis-
souri, Experiment Station indicate
that the average corn yields In Mis-
sour may be increased ten bushels
per acre by inexpensive methods.
The information on how to accom-
plish these results is contained in cir.
cular OF information Number 10, by
M. +. Miller, q copy of which can be
had by addressing the Director Of the
Experiment Station, Columbia, Mis-
souri.
The most common cause OF low
corn yields is q poor stand of corn.
A poor stand Of corn is usually the
result Of planting seed that will not
grow or distributing the corn un.
evenly In the hills. The Experiment
Station has carefully investigated
seed corn taken during February,
1905, from the cribs OF Missouri corn
growers and the result shows that
only 63 per cent Of such corn will
grow. To get good stand at least
95 per cent should grow vigorously
The above indicates that seed corn
can not be safely selected from the
crib, but should be carefully selected
from the field a. follows: Select from
desirable stalks only those ars which
show desirable characteristics. Place
the ears at once In small piles or In
shallow layers In some dry room or
crib where they will become thor
oughly dry before hard freezing
weather. Corn must not be allowed
to freeze before it is thoroughly dry.
Corn stored In large heaps or In tight
boxes before being thoroughly dried
tends 30 heat and injure the vitality.
Dry corn quickly and keep it dry that
she vitality may be preserved.
Plant good varieties Of corn. On
the Experiment Station fields some
ears OF the Boone county white
variety yielded at the rate OF forty.
five bushels per acre; other ears on
the same soil, treated In the same
way Yielded ninety bushels per acre
Pure bred seed corn is much more
productive than ordinary sorts.
Whatever the variety OF corn a
farmer may grow he will always
profit by very careful selection ol
seed. He should practice a asystem OF
corn breeding; that is, he should al
ways grow his seed corn in part OF
the field or in a plot by itself. This
plot should be planted with the most
perfect ears obtainable and seed corn
for the n4xt year always selected
from this area He will, in this way,
improve his corn, both In yield an d
quality, and he will find itpays hand
somely for the time and trouble
necessary.
This valuable bulletin describing
the best methods of increasing corn
yields in Missouri may be had free by
addressing the Director OF the Exper.
iment Station, Columbia, Missouri.
