Luther League Convention

The annual convention of the State

bled in Yankton this year and the
meeting opened on Sunday for a three
days session.

inent part in the deliberations of the

A Step Forward in Corn Breed
NE inU.

Editor Farmers Leader: In your
issue Of April 26th you print my art
icle giving some evidence that pollen
does not always cause sporting, or
mixing of different kinds of corn on
the same ear by the pollen falling on
its silks from a different kind OF corn.
This fact gives evidence that the mix
ing may be prevented altogether.
This is Of great importance for at
least W reasons. First, because we
can then breed any desired kind with
out mixing with other kinds, and sec
ond, we can prevent self-fertilizing
by the pollen Of n stalk upon itself
or from others of near relation, as
grains from the same ear, as Is now
the case in every field and breeding
patch. On the subject OF inbreeding
Mr.. A. ID. Shamel in the Agricultural
Year Book for 1905 has this to say;
SIN observations made by the writer
upon the effects of self fertilization In
corn, that is, when the pollen pro-
duced by the male flower borne by
the tassel of a plant is used to pollin-
ate the silks or stigmas Of an ear
borne by the same plant, it was found
that in four generations Of continue
GUS naturalization the vitality had
become so weakened that the seed
failed to generate" This is the great
difficulty with seed planted in this
country, it has been inbred till 1t has
lost its vigor. Can this difficulty be
remedied? We think it can, and will
give II plan, hoping that others will
try the plan for the reason that the
different locations and climate condi-
tions will give better results than could
be had here. Beside this, a large vari-
ETY. of corn will be used, so that If one
should fail others may succeed, that
is, to learn how to breed ORR without
~inbreeding or mixing. This is the
plan. Choose a piece of ground far
removed from any other growing corn,
and plot It SO yau can tell the kind OF
in each hill. Plant every other
hill with the kind of corn you want
to breed. In the remaining hills
plant a kind of corn that will not
mix, or you have reasons to think
will not. Before the pollen on the
breeding corn falls detassef it and cut
out inferior stalks. Now if you have
planted a kind of corn that will not
mix with your breeding corn, it will
be fortified by 1t and the end so
much sought after is gained, /. e., a
way to prevent inbreeding and to
cross fertiliZe without the hybrid eff
fects. This is possible, we think, as
it is with strawberries and other
plants. 1t will be we'll for all who
make this experiment to report to
Colonel Linn how they have succeed
ed and any points helpful in securing
this object. b. Fl. TRIP.

The mugwump press talks about
stallWarts and that Jim Simpkinsi Is sup
porting the stalwarts and that a spav-
lined outfit up In Miner county will
support the stalwarts, and so it goes.
Well, what do the stalwarts stand for?
The leaders from Kit down have been
promoting the interests Of the corpor-
ations and trusts to the injury and
detriment Of the people, and from the
day that the stalwart leader. SO called.
refused to support the president in
his great fight for the rate bill down
to the present, the policy Of the stall
wart mugwumps has not changed
only so far as Kits climbing onto the
bandwagon to deceive and disguise
treachery. "A stalwart is a supporter
OF the corporations and trusts as
against the interests OF the producing
masses, and a South Dakotan who can
sink his manhood into this servile
and cowardly condition is welcome to
the title and disgrace. Stalwartism.
t0ryism and bossism go together in
opposition to true republicanism.

AS a whole the meeting turned out
to please the majority, but a few
can't see it that way.
r. Thronson drove a pair of bron-
cos to Canton Monday and it seems
that one OF them was not in very
good humor as it kept kicking owe
the traces every so often going home,
and in front Of II. H.. Stubstein's at
10 O'Clock, pitch dark, it kicked the
single tree to pieces. We happened
to catch up and helped him out Of
trouble. We can excuse people for
kicking but broncos have no business
to in a dark night.
Hilda Stubstein came home Sun
day from Worthing and the rain Sun
day evening kept her home until
Monday.
Palmer Nelson has been very lone
some of late yet his troubles did not
seem to be very serious, but on Sun
day morning he quietly departed
whence nc one seemed to know. His
folks were sorely distressed-fearing
slnstroke or heart trouble. The
phone finally located him in Lennox,
and as feared, it was indeed heart
trouble that induced him to leave
home so suddenly, and heart trouble
supported by a convenient rain storm
kept him in the care of the sweetest
nurse on earth until Monday when he
was able to make the journey home.
Palmer's heart disease is quite seri-
Gus.
Gilbert G.. Fodness and lady were
caught in the heavy rain storm Sun
day evening and were forced to seek
shelter at the home of the big heart
ed, genial George Odell, where they
stayed over night, and George was
glad to accommodate his friends.

Henry Skie who has been laid UP for
some time with a lame knee is able to

Friday calling on his lady friends.
Monday a large delegation from
this neighborhood put on their kick
ing clothes and went to Canton to
meet with the county commissioners
to discuss the proposed drainage
ditch in Grant township. Well, we
kicked a little in the morning about
the cold wind and kicked more as we
went along about the muddy roads
and by the time we got to Canton we
we in good trim for anything. At IL
O'Clock Commissioner Smith opened
up the convention and from that
time on we all kicked in rotation,
some because they had fish ponds,
others because they had none. The
object Of the meeting was to equalize
the assessment according to benefit
to the different 40's. We all came
out Of the fracas with good eyes and
mixed feelings. Some were talking
strong of taking the matter before
the circuit court while certain mes
were talking strong Of dumping the
