inents have been conducted at the dll-
ferent stations. with heavy, medluh
and light weight seeds. and the results
are decidedly in favor OF using only
good, strong seed.
We have before us the detailed re-
sults of one of these experiments con-
Quoted at the Kansas experiment sta
tion. In this experiment the yields from
the heavy, medium and nshl weight
seed showed a variation of over two
bushels per acre or about seven per
cent. This is not as large a variation
as has been shown by some experl-
ments, but it is sufficient to abundant-
ly paw for the trouble of cleaning the
seed. especially when we take lnto
consideration the fact that the heavier
seed gives a better quality OF gram
that will command higher price on
the market. If some increase In guam
tity and quality of the crop can be
effected each year in this manner, the
results will, in a few years, be con-
siderable One of the chief causes for
the complaint so often heard Of small
grain crops running out is the almost
universal absence Of any effort toward
seed selection. With corn there is an
attempt to select the best ears for the
production of the next crop but with
the small grains everything is used as
it comes; not even the light and partly
developed grains are sorted out; all
tho, as we have pointed out, it may
be done very1readily. There are other
steps that may be taken by most farm
ers for the improvement of these crops
but the vigorous use of the tanning
mill is the one that should be employ
ed.

necessity of adopting primary sys-

senators are concerned. that the will
of the people has been followed in the
matter of selecting them. All this may
be true, yet it would hardly seem to
furnish valid argument against the
primary system; for people would con-

mittee.

The Elks' building committee held
a m citing last night and for the sec
ond time rejected all bids for the
new building TO be erected on North
Fifth street near Broadway. II is
understood that all the bids were
considered too high.
1t IS said that a building such as
the plans as recently modified call
for ought to be erected Tor about
$4,000 or $4,000. but the lowest
bids were for about $4,000.
The bids as first opened were
about $4,000, and changes were
made in the plans. with the result
that the bids were reduced about
$4,000. They are sull too high,
however.
II is not known now when the

or what win be done when It does
meet. II IS likely that another meet

rather strenuous experience last
night and will probably seek other
localities for operation hereafter.
Some one had been visiting the
coal houses OF residents of Jones

and last night when the l2year-old
son of Mr.. Il. Matthews, of the Sher-
rill-Russell Lumber company, came
home shortly before II O'Clock, his
mother informed him that she heard
a noise in the coal house. He So
cured his repeating hobert rifle and
went out to investigate.
A negro man ran out of the coal
house, dropping his booty as he ran.
The boy shot thres times, taking de-
liberate aim. On account of the
distance and the fact that the negro
was lodging, prevented the aim
from proving true.

THEY ARE EXPECTED SOON

1t is stated on excellent authority
that Paducah will next year have one
Of the biggest corn mills in the
stats. IL is no venture where the
Commercial club or any party of
promoters is concerned. the capital
lists who are behind the move being
men who carried on a quiet lnvesti-
cation without acquainting local
capitalists of their object.
The first intimation or definite
idea of what the capitalists, who all
reside In the east, intended to do
reached Paducah in the way of
letter to a local capitalist asking
him for data on the amount of corn
raised in this section, the resources
for this article and also the shipping
rates, the amount of corn shipped
out, etc.
The capitalists stated that they
had decided to locate big corn mill
in Paducah or vicinity and intended
doing so right away. There are
said to be annually shipped out of
Paducah something like 100000
bushels of corn. This goes to dis
tilleries and to mills. for reduction
to some staple article. The capital
lists saw an excellent opportunity to
establish a mill here, grind up the
corn and save the money expended
shipping the stuff to other mills.
All the information relative to the
corn crops here and in vicinity were
gladly furnished the promoters, and
it is expected something more def
mite will be heard within few days
This is an industry which would
be valuable addition to the many
enterprises Paducah now has, and
will mean the employment of possi-
bly, several hundred men. The
plant, it is estimated, will cost in the
neighborhood of 100000 and every
favor possible to grant will undoubt-
edly be given the capitalists who un
solicited decided to locate here.
1t is expected that representatives
of the capitalists will be here within
thirty or sixty days to personally
look into the resources.
