Mile. Paula Klippenburg succeeded yes

Merrill. who is associated with William
Solomon, her original counsel. in the effort
to get her of Ellis Island and begin breach
Of promise suit against Horace Z. Miller
with whom she lived in Paris and who
induced the immigration authorities to
arrest her as an undesirable alien"
Mr.. Solomon himself. who had been
debarred from the island. was permitted
to accompany MIR. Merrill there and to
introduce Mr.. Merrill to Mile. Klippenburg.
Commissioner Watchorn refused to let Mr.
Merrill talk with his client except in the
hearing Of an immigration inspector who
is also an interpreter Of German and French.
When the young woman held out to Mr..
Merrill a bunch of letters that she says
MIR. Miller wrote to her and a number Of
photographs the inspector seized the pack
age and forced her to return it to the bag
from which she had taken it. The lawyer
was told that he could not have the photo
graphs or letters. The reason for the re-
fusal was that the newspapers might publish
some OF them.
Mr.. Merrill said that he did not see by
what legal right he was restrained from
talking to his client except in the presence

her interests. He added:
We will obtain a writ of habeas corpus
the petition for which is already drawn up,
and we will have our client to ourselves for
a short time at least. She will be enabled
to state her case publicly. She has seventy
five letters which will prove that she is not
the sort OF woman that Mr.. Miller wishes
TO make the immigration authorities believe
she is. When we secure the release OF Mile.
klippenburg we will bring a suit for breach
of promise for $25, 900 damages. Besides
large number of letters showing that MIR.
Miller made ardent love to her she has many
photographs, one of which shows Mr.. Miller
and Mile. Klippenburg posed in Turkish
costumes. OF course, he does not want
those pictures published. Commissioner
Watchorn said that the order for Mile.
Klippenburg's deportation had not been
received yesterday, and he expressed sur
prise at the fact"
Mile. Khppenburg's trunks are at the
Austrian Consulate. She does not like the
way she ia treated in the detention pen at
Ellis Island. She cried yesterday when
she was told that she could not talk to MIR.
Merrill about her case and that he would
not be permitted TO take the letters and
photographs.
Her counsel expect to obtain the writ OF
habeas corpus tomorrow.

Seed Corn Selection.


That pretty ears are not always the
best seed corn has been shown by the
experiments at the Ohio Station. They
selected twenty-fo extra fine ears, all
of the same variety. The seed Of these
were planted, each ear in a row by It
self, and thinned to three stalks In
hill, SO that each ear had the same
chance as its neighbor. One ear out OF
the twenty-four yielded at the rate OF
Ia bushels per acre, another 112 and
a third 104 bushels, while other ears
made ffty-five, sixty-fve and seventy
seven bushels per acre. The row that
made the smallest yield had flfty-eight
barren stalks. The row next 10 the
highest had fifteen barren stalks, and
the row that made sixty-five bushels
had fifty-two barren stalks The ears
were all Of equal appearance and OF
equal terminating quality. The re-
suits show very plainly that what we
have been for years insisting upon, that
the breeding of corn in the field, the
removal Of disturbing influences about
It, and the working toward an Ideal
plant as a whole. a plant Of productive
character rather than big ears, are all
Of far more importance than the selec-
ton Of fine ears by the score card
without any knowledge Of the breeding
of the corn. Selection of the largest
ears tends toward single ear production,
for 1t Is a law Of nature that when we
increase the size Of the individual fruit
Of any plant we will decrease the num-
Der of fruits, and when we increase
the number we decrease the size Of
the individual fruits But It has also
been shown that stalk with two or
more medlum-slzed ears Of corn will
make more corn than stalk with one
big ear. In test made for the yield
Of grain, one sample was from SIN
gle-oared plant, one from a two-eared
one, one from q three-eared one and
one from a four-eared one, and the
quantity of corn shelled increased ex-
actly with the number Of ears on the
plant The breeding in the field to
breed out barren stalks is the essential
matter In developing the productive
character Of the corn. and the best
ears are merely relative and not by
any means the largest

The strawberry propagates itself In
two ways-by runners and by seed. II
the runners are kept from roofing, the
vine will make an effort to reproduce
itself from seed production Of berries)
In the spring. and some horticulturists
have given as their opinion that II the
vines are not allowed to throw out run
ners In the summer there will be no
loss Of vitality by the old plants, and
the matter intended to be converted in
to runners will be stored In the plants
and converted into fruit when the
proper time arrives. The first thing to
do after harvesting the crop Is to thor
oughly clean between the rows and
pull out the weeds between the plants
In the rows. so as to give the beds the
benefit Of the hoe as much as possible.
Moisture is always beneficial to straw
berry plants, and the ground should be
worked deep at first and then kept
loose on the surface until late In the
fall, when the vines may be mulched.
Burning the beds should be done when
the ground Is frozen. This, It 10 claim
ed, will enable the plants to begin anew
In the spring, the old plants being
thereby invigorated, the ashes provid-
Ing potash, and the seeds Of weeds de-
stroyed. Leaves, straw or other ma
terials may be placed over the plants
before winter sets in. to remain as a
mulch until early in the spring Fer

vest and early in the spring. Potted
plants are runners that are grown in
pots, close to the parent plants, each
runner being separated from Its parent
