the stand of corn, and the number Of
ears produced per acre, as well as the
type of ear ana the type of kernel on
the ear. Every farmer should test the
termination of his seed corn before
planting. The actual yield of corn per
acre is usually far less than the esti-
mated yield. For instance. with a per
feet stand of corn, hills three and one
half feet apart each way and three
stalks in the HILL with one good, aver
age ear to the stalk Weighing three
fourths of a pound the yield should be
1855 bushels of shelled corn per acre.
With ears Weighing one pound apiece
the possible production from an acre Of
land. under the conditions stated above,
is III bushels"
OF course these would be ideal condi-
tions that could not be hoped for except
occasionally. but the corn fields of Kan
sas certainly ought to average two good
stalks to each hillwith one ear Weighing
three-fOurths of a pound to each stalk.
That would mean yield of Sc bushels
per acre for the entire state. or more
than three times the yield last year.
In order to secure a good stand the
seed should be tested. The other condi-
ions, OF course, depend upon the breed
Of the corn and the care and cultiva-
ton given it. If it is well-bred corn
there win be practically no barren
stalks. and each ear wiz be fair-sized
and well filed with kernels. Then if it
has proper care these ears will fill and
mature. Result: a big crop.
There is no doubt that there is vast
room for Improvement in crop culture.
A great deal of land and labor is now
going to waste. If corn yielded as it
should. the 6.SOOOOO acres of Kansas
corn fields would produce four or five
hundred million bushels each year, in
stead of less than half that, with no
more work than at present.

z. 6. Davies, a fighting Welshman,
was one of the early insurgents. For
a long time he had shipped fruit over
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad
from points in lower Indiana and had
had no trouble. From Decker, Indi-
ana, previous to the appearance of
Armour and his exclusive contract
with the G. & E. I. road, the icing
1904, Mr.. Davies received a car on
which the icing charge was $45. Now
Decker is only PAT miles from Chi
cago; if the refrigerator car had been
shipped from New Orleans, which is
923 miles from Chicago over the Hi
nois Central railroad (Which is not an
Armour line), the icing charge would
have been only $50.
He refused to pay. The Chicago &
Eastern Illinois demanded that he set
tie his bill. He said he would pay a
reasonable charge but he would not
be robbed. When he asked the rail-
road company how it was they we're
trying to collect an Armour charge,
which had nothing to do with the
freight, and when he still refused to
pay, they threatened to cut off his cred
(which meant, practically, that he
must go out of business over that line
of railroad. All this was brought out
ia sworn testimony.
1.-The next thing I heard" he said,
was that my shipments were under
embargo on the Evansville & Terre
Haute railroad. A circular had been
issued by Mr.. Hillman, general freight
agent, saying that no business con
signed to Edward G. Davies could be
accepted unless the charges were pre-
paid"
This shows how Armour even forces
the railroads to do the dirty work.
Of collecting extortionate icing
charges.
Still Mr.. Davies refused to pay. Fin
ally one day he received a visit from
Mr.. UriOn and an associate, attorneys
for the Armour car lines.
Il did not know what they wanted, -
said Mr. Davies in his testimony, che
(Mr. IIrion) gave me practically a no
tice to get out of business; that I
could never have any more refrigera-
ton done. I said, Gentlemen. I will
have you to understand here and now
that I never knew Armour and do
not want to know him now. He has
nothing to do with the movement of
interstate traffic From Railroads

To wonder how they, in their littleness,

TEST YOU RsEED CORN.

The time of year is rapidly approach
ing when the corn farmer will begin to
make active preparations to put in his
spring crop Not many weeks hence
he viii be blowing his ground or getting
it ready Cor listing.
But first of all he should look after
his seed. The uD-to-date farmer who
raises his own seed took the first steps
in that direction last fall by Selecting
the best ears he found in gathering his
corn, and hanging it away to dry where
it would be safe from hard freezing.
Very soon now he will pick three kernels
from each stalk and test their germinat-
ing qualities. If some kernels fail to
produce good sprouts ne viii discard
the ears from which they came; and if
there is very much of his seed that will
not terminate he viii discard all Of it
and buy more.
It is very evident that if the germs in
the seed have become dead or weakened.
a poor stand will be secured. If only
one stalk is secured IN a hill where there
should be two or three. it has a remark
ably decreasing effect on the crop in the
fall-and that one stalk may be so
weak that it win grow only a .'nubbin."
1t requires no more work to plant
and cultivate corn with two or three
good healthy stalks in q hill than it
does corn with one poor stalk in a hill
or sometimes none at al.
Prof. Ten Eyczs Of the State Agricul-
tural college, says "A large yield of
corn depends not only on the breed of
corn, the fertility Of the soil, and the
cultivation OF the crop, but it also de-
ponds upon the termination Of the seed,

Rain in XenezneIa.

Just what Caracas would do without its
rainy season cannot imagine, for the
city is far from being clean and sanitary.
Garbage is thrown into the yards for the
Vultures to feed upon; dust and papers
accumulate in the streets, and the visitor
is about to pronounce the city the dirtiest
he has ever seen, when nature suddenly
decides 10 put things to rights. An ordi-
nary rainfall would not suffice nova
thorough flushing is needed, and nothing
short of a deluge viii do it.

people to go indoors. but when it has
acquired sufficient density it falls. In a
moment, almost, the streets and court

spouts that overhang the sidewalks pour
out their streams like gigantic kettle
spouts and loud is the noise of the
Smashing and scattering.
Half an hour later one tiptoes along the
shiny pavements, as if over d newly
scrubbed floor; above him is a sky of

seen are insignificant patches of white

credibly short space of time the whole
process may be repeated.-George NJ. L.

a common charge brought against
newspaper reporters is that they are
heartless, that they revel in laying be-
fore the world the closely guarded Sc
crets of individuals. 1t constantly hap
pens that a reporter must do unpleasant
things because others have been guilty
of those violations of custom, law or
convention that make news. The op-
probrium that belongs to the real Of
fender is not infrequently heaped upon
