Seed Corn.

Now is the time to select the seed
corn to be used for next years crop.
If selected now. before freezing wealth
er, and thoroughly dried, the seed will
not only germinate better but the germ
will be stronger and will produce bet
ter plant than if weakened by being
heated in pile or by having the mois-
ture frozen through exposure Of cold
weather. 1t is a generally accepted
fact that seed corn grown a compara-
lively short distance from the place
where it is to be planted will give bet
ter results than seed from greater
distance. Hence, to insure maximum
crop next year, it is essential that this
matter receive attention now. On ac-
count of the past bad season, many
farmers will be unable to select seed of
their own growing good enough to plant
next year. In consequence. those farm
ers who have more corn suitable for
seed than they need for their own use
should have no difficulty in disposing Of
it to their neighbors at good price.
In the choice of corn for seed one should
be guided by the great law of heredity,
or the law that like produces like. If
one is to grow maximum crop only
seed from large ears should be planted.
II is equally essential that both the tip
and the butt be well filed out. 1t is
also very desirable that the rows of
kernels on the ear be straight and that
the ear have nearly the same circum-
ference through its whole length, in
other words, that the ear does not ta-
per much from butt to tip. In storing
seed corn care should be taken to have
il thoroughly dry before freezing wealth
er, and to keep it dry until ready to
plant next spring. There are a num-
ber Of ways TO dry seed corn, but per.
haps one of the best for growers is to
hang it up in the smokehouse, and
build slow fire under it; care being
taken not to have the fire become too
hot. In this way the corn may become
thoroughly dried.

THE PUBLIC
IS INDIGNANT
William n. Jackson Admits He
Spent Large Sums OF Money
For His Election. Treats II As
A Joke. Public Condemns.

The people of the State have been
given an exhibition of Mr. William II.
Jackson S callousness this week. brought
about by the violation of his agreement
not to corrupt the voters of Wicomico
County. Mr.. Jackson admitted that
money was spent for votes for him.
He admitted that he spent large sum
of money. He virtually admitted that
he had bought his election He would
not say to Baltimore News reporter
who interviewed him how much money
he had spent, but said it was not hun
dred thousand dollars.
His indifference to public opinion and
utter disregard for law against bribery
has aroused a storm of Indignation
against him and the system he so open
ly used that determination upon the
part of the people to rid the state of
bribers is now manifest as it was never
before.
The Baltimore Sun says:
"In his interview in The Sun Mr..
Jackson has shocked the moral sense
of the entire State and has put himself
in an attitude so extraordinary as to
excite the Indignation of all self-respect-
ing citizens. The position he has as
sumed. the tone of his utterances. as
well as the utterances themselves, are
almost unprecedented on the part Of
public man. The only parallel we can
recall at the moment in the way of de-
fiance and Indifference to public opinion
is Boss Twecd's cynical and insolent,

We have had. and have now. many men
in public life who have practced bad
or questionable methods, but there
have been and are few who do not have
the grace to join in the public condem-
nation of political corruption and TO at
least assume virtue if they have it
not. II is rare indeed, even in this
country that public man will treat as
a Jest or as a matter of Indifference
and no consequence such conditions as
prevail in the First district. who will
admit that he or his friends have help
ed to thwart the will of the electorate
or who will not blush at his acts and
the acts attending his election A man
with delicate sense of honor, of high
ideals of citizenship. would not want an
Office procured in this way. But Mr..
jackson apparently has no such polit-
ical scruples. Either he is absolutely
lacking in a realization of the gravity
of this offense or he is Indifferent to
public opinion. In either case, it may
be asked whether he is fitted to repre-
sent this State in Congress or to hold
high Office.

JAMES f. ELLEGooD.
STATES ATTORNEY JOHNSON ON
ANTI-BRIBERY.

The interview with Mr. William III.
Jackson in The News of Saturday last
is surprising only perhaps in that he
should so boldly advocate the methods
by which his recent election TO Congress
was attained. While much talk was
heard in advance of an election without
money, no one supposed it would be
with Mr.. Jackson as his party's nomi-
nee, and his declarations now on that
point are no surprise to anyone. His
affirmation that he did not establish the
precedent of vote buying is, of course.
no justification for his continuance of
such practice.
No doubt Mr.. jackson would have the
people Of the First Congressional dis
trict and of the State as well convinced
that money is essential for political
success, that he may continue togratify
his own aspirations. His election has
at least seemed To arouse TO greater
extent the already awakened conscience
of the people.
The coming Legislature will doubtless
pass a corrupt practices act, but it is in
an aroused popular sentiment after all
that the people must look for genuine
reform.
That an election can be conducted
without money was evidenced in Wor-
cester at this last election, when il is
believed the agreement between the
party leaders was adhered to and which
should and ought To be truly Democra-
tic. The broken pledge in Wieomico
was most unfortunate.

Of his silver watch and fob and Mr.

table. Mr.. Warrington was awakened
when the steamer blew for Tilghmans
Island wharf. its first stopping place
after leaving Baltimore. and aroused
his companion. He could not find his
hat, and upon feeling in his pocket
found his money also gone. He then
notified Captain Corkran, who made a
search for the thieves. just before the
boat reached the wharf at Tilghmans

their hands near the gangway and call.

Opportunity For The Mary
land CannefieS.

The Agricultural Department has is
sued an important bulletin on industrial
alchohol, prepared by DIR. II. w. Wiley.
When Congress passed the recent De-
natured Alcohol Law, striking off the
internal revenue duty on that product,
it was believed by very many farmers
that the manufacture of this alcohol
from their farm products. such as po-
tatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, apples or
tomatoes, would prove a valuable in
dustry. DIR. Wiley, after careful re-
view of the subject. comes TO the con-
clusion that such hopes are futile. He
states frankly that the manufacture of
alcohol on the small scale that would
be possible on the farms would not
prove profitable. The regulations of
the Internal Revenue Department pro-
viding for the supervision of the distill-
ing of the alcohol and its subsequent
denaturing, so that it would be available
only for industrial purposes, would place
still greater obstacles in the way of the
little distilleries that the farmer could
set up.
On the other hand, a suggestion Of
value is made to the managers of a
great number of canning factories all
over the State of Maryland. There are
great many waste products in the
canning industry which may be used
for making alcohol, particularly in the
factories devoted to canning tomatoes
and Indian corn. In addition to this,
the waste fruit. such as the imperfect
or rotten apples, tomatoes, grapes, ETC.,
could be employed. 1t has been esti-
mated that the average percentage of
waste in apples was 23.S. In general,
it may be said that in the preparation
of fruits for preserving. about % per
cent of the weight is waste. and this
might be used for the manufacture of
alcohol. Thus, each 100 pounds of
fruit waste might be expected to pro-
duce five pounds of industrial alcohol.
The percentage is, perhaps, smaller in
tomatoes, which contain comparatively
little sugar, and probably greater in the
case of corn. as there is considerable
quantity both of natural sugar in the
corncobs. together with large amount
of starchy material left on the cobs.
The report suggests. however, that il
might prove more profitable not to erect
dstilleries in connection with canning
factories solely for the purpose of manu-
featuring alcohol from the waste. but
that it should prove profitable to utilize
this waste in distileries already es
tablished and close to existing canning
factories.

HUMILIATING, SAYS ELLEGooD.

humiliation. 1t seems almost incredi-
BILE that man elected TO make laws
for Christian nation should openly
violate the law. openly confess and
openly justify it, and then treat the
attempted enforcement as laughing
matter, after solemn pledge Of honor

1t seems to me the investigation may
well stop as to all but him. as he as
sumes the responsibility.
His conduct has become broader than
Wicomico or the First district. and has
become a State and national grievance.
Under the Constitution of the United
States he is not the representative-elect
of the First Congressional district. but
is one of the representatives of the
State and for the State and nation.
He doubtless speaks the truth when
he says "A poor man has no chance
against rich man" in the First dis
trict, and we must admit that he and
his party are not alone to blame for
the condition. but to give it quasi
approval instead of condemnation, pro-
noting il instead of reforming empha-
sises one phase of his character. he re-
duces everything to the standard of
modern trade ethics.
