Miss Caruthers' room secured
the quarter holiday by having the
smallest number of tardles.
1t will be observed that the De-
cember honor roll is unusually
small and the number of tardies
the largest during the present
term. This can be accounted for
in the number of disagreeable days
when it was impossible for child
rem living at distance to reach
the school building.

The tendency to grow types of corn
altogether too large is very noticeable
all through the northern limit Of the
corn belt. 1t is very difficult for men
to get rid of the idea that the largest
ear of corn is the best one. North of
latitude ID degrees no variety of corn
should be planted which requires more
than 100 days to mature. If man
must raise the big corn he should go
to the big corn country in Missouri and
Kansas, for it is entirely out of place
in any other part of the corn belt.

1t is rather a surprising fact that a
very large part of all the corn exhibit
ed at the corn contests through the
corn belt this winter in competition
for premiums is deficient in germinat-
ing power and simply will not grow
when planted. This results from the
effort to exhibit the largest ears, usu-
ally the product of type of corn which
is unsuited to the localities. We have
come to the opinion that no matter how
large and fine sample of corn may be
when entered for premium it should
be disqualified if it lacks in germinat-
ing power.

There seems to be scarcely any limit
to the possible production of wheat in
the Canadian northwest. In fact, it
may be safely assumed that i'll the near
future that section of the country will
produce a larger amount of wheat than
the states have ever done. There are
certain unrivaled conditions for wheat
culture in that territory-first, 4 very
rich soil, then climatic condition
which insures the production of very
high quality of grain. The present year
is likely to witness tremendous influx
of American farmers into that territory
When land which will produce from
thirty to forty bushels of the best
wheat in the world per acre can be had
for $40 or SIS per acre the problem of
how the poor man can get a start is
very much simplified, for his first crop
will pay for his land.

The western states should all unite
and put an end to the spring shooting
of wild fowl. AS it is now in many
states the birds are subjected to a mer-
CHESS slaughter not only in their breed
ing haunts in the north during the fall,
but all through the winter in the south,
and then again are uselessly and waste
fully slaughtered in the spring during
Neutrality-suspicious. to their northern homes.
Modern firearms have been brought
to such Il degree of proficiency that the
birds literally have no chance for their
lives, and it does seem Il great pity for
the law to permit the entire extermina-
ton of all wild fowl of the country, for
that is the certain result unless this
spring shooting is to be stopped.
