TILLNAN TO PRESS
RAILROAD RATE BILL

Senator Culberson gave notice today
that he would address the Senate on
next Monday on the railroad rate ques-
tion. if that question was the regular or
der of business at that time. If such
was not the order. then he would ask
unanimous consent to have the un-
finished business laid aside to permit
him to express his views.
This brought Senator Tillman to his
feet The South CaTUinidn said that ne
did not know the disposition of the
Senator on the question. but he would
seek 10 have the rate bill made the
unfinished business If such a plan
could be carried out, he assured the Sen
ator from Texas that he would be per
mitted 10 talk.
Among Senators this declaration by
Mr.. Tillman is taken To mean that he
intends To press the rate question on

HALE CRITIC|SES
GENERAL STAFF

GOOD SEED CORN.
Some of the important Points by
Which It May Be Known.

Some of the more important OBJ
servations to be made in the selection
of seeds are: Yield, quality, uniform
dom from attacks of smut and rust,
and, in the case of small grain, the
stiffness of the straw.
The corn crop requires, perhaps, as
great care in the selection as any
other. and merits special attention,
says the Prairie Farmer. The rapid
improvement that has been made in
this crop, combined with the readi-
ness with which the different varieties
cross and mix, renders 1t extremely
subject to variation. Constant care
is necessary in order to establish the
desirable qualities that are brought
out in these variations and to more
thoroughly eradicate those not desir-
able.
Some Of the points to be observed
in the selection of seed corn are:
1. The size and shape of ear; ear
should approach as nearly as may be
uniform diameter from end to
end
2. Size and quality of cob, me-
dium sized cob being much better
than large, spongy one.
8. Depth of grain.
4. Shape of grain; grains should
carry their wedge shape uniformly to
the end, so that the ear may present
as nearly as possible solid surface.
5. Covering of cob; cob should be
as completely and evenly covered as
possible at both ends.
6. Hardness of grain, too hard and
finty a grain not being readily mas
ticated and digested. A hard grain,
also, is more liable to be shallow
one.
7. Grains of even, uniform size and
similar shape, 70 make possible uni
formity of planting.
s. Color of grain, purity of color
Indicating purity of the corn.

in a fight with revenue officers in the
mountains of northeast Georgia. They

children.
AS above stated, the wife was found

Whitecotton. Old man Pittman is SO

years younger. They both look spry
