PLANT vs.. ORDINARY SELECTION

Gain for plant selection .............. S.2s
In recommending the selection of
seed corn upon the plant as 1t is ripen.
ing In the field it should be stated that
It is better not to remove the ear from
the stalk until 1t is quite well dried
out. When husking, 1t will be we'll to
60 through the field few days in ad-
vance of cutting and mark In some
way each plant, rowing under normal
conditions as regards stand and fer.
tility, which has the appearance Of
being satisfactory. We have marked
these plants by tying string or strip
of old cloth around the ear to attract
the attention Of the huskers. also by
topping the plant. The latter 10
quicker, but some confusion may re-
suit from the breaking Of the dry
stalks at husking II the husking Is
to be done by machinery 1t will be
necessary to gather the selected stalks
together and shock separately.
When corn Is left standing until
ready for husking and cribbing or
marketing. the SEED ears may be
gathered as selected some little time
In advance Of the main harvest.
Some characters of Importance in
plant and ear which deserve careful
consideration are as follows: The
first Of these is easily.
Maturity.-The first Of these II
easily maturity. Many farmers are
growing corn that Is too late in ma
turing. A variety Of corn, which has
not acquired the habit Of completing
its growth before killing frosts are to
be expected. Is not variety to be en-
couraged. A farmer who is growing
such variety should either discard 1t,
or carefully and systematically select
the earlier maturing ears for seed.
vIqor OF PIant.-A second character
which is we'll worthy Of consideration
Is vigor. While 1t is freely admitted
that good ear Of corn is very good
recommend for the plant which pro
duced it, many plants produce good
ears which they are unable to carry to
harvest. Under vigor, leaf develop.
ment and freedom from disease should
be considered, also weight of ear
Uniformlty.-In order t. give good
results corn should be uniform as to
height, habit Of growth and maturity
of plant; height of ear; size. shape
and color of kernel.

T$ HE police commissioner of New

This police commissioner Is General
Theodore A. Bingham. 1t is said that
when he gets ready to express an EN-
phatic opinion or utter a firm resolve
his jaws click loud enough to awaken
the Office cat. The click means that
the generals mind is cooked and ready

That was long before Mcclellan ran
for mayor. Bingham was then serving
as major domo, drum major, social sec.

the White House. His Official position
was superintendent OF government
buildings and grounds in Washington.
He was appointed thereto as an officer

Special Correspondence.
ONDON, Feb. 22.--Arthur Law,
who gave us "A Country Mouse"
several years ago. may be said to
have gone himself two better
now, for the new piece of his which Is
coming on at the Criterion shortly con
tains not one mouse" but three.
Three Blind Mice" it Is called, in
fact, and considering that authors, like
actors, are superstitious folk, II is quite
possible that there is some Significance
in this further reference to rodents.
After all, a cat on the stage Is notori-
ously lucky, so why not mice? There
was Mice and Men you remember.
The Three Blind Nice mentioned in
Laws new piece are not, however. real
ones They are simply three lovers in
pursuit., of the same lady, and she, Of
course. cares for none of them, but is
smitten with quite different person,
her godfather In fact That Is all that
London knows about the piece, at pres
ent, but 1t seems to have pleased pro-
vincial audiences Immensely, so II will
not be surprising If 1t duplicates the
success OF several of its authors other
plays, notably. THE New Boy" and
makes a hit not only in this country
but in the United States.
That, by the way, would be a par
ticularly welcome event. for since he
hit it of so we'll with "A Country
Mouse five years ago, Fortune has not
smiled on this dramatist, He is, IN
fact, one of severa British authors,
actors and managers who have needed
stroke of luck rather badly for some
little tiire, his last piece, The Bride
and Bridegroom which Charles Wynd-
ham gave at the new theater having
proved complete failure and nothing
having been heard from him since.
! wonder II it is generally known that
he Is over COZ l confess that / was sur
prised to discover 1t in looking up ths
playwright's record the other day, but
there is no doubt about it, for he ad-
mits to having been born IN 1884 More
over since he began writing plays In
1877, he has produced exactly ~ OF
them, most of these, however. having
been rather short pieces for use by
the celebrated German Reeds whose
company Law Joined in 1874 A clergy-
mans son, he first tried his hand at
soldering, and was a lieutenant In the
Royal Scots, but he soon tired OF the
army and went on the stage, making
his first appearance al the Thcater
Royal, Edinburgh. Probably his big
gest success was made with The New
Boy" IN which James T. Powers ap-
peared in America. but his ''Dick Ven
ables,' The Judge" and 1.-The Head
of the Poll also made hits, to say
nothing OF the famous Country
Mouse which was used by Ethel Bar
r.nlore.
1T is pretty sure to be all right. too,
with Laws Three Blind Mice" fog
certainly success is In the air AT pres
ent. so far as the London theatrical
world is concerned. During the pres
ent month, in fact, practically every
