SELECTING SEED CORN.

By far the most important crop
grown in Virginia, is corn. Its to-
tai valuation is more than four
times as great as tobacco. In 1906,
Virginia produced As, lSS, 900 BUSH
els which, valued at Goo. per bush
Ell, was worth S27, ll2, 10000. We
have unexcelled natural advantages
for corn culture, but our average
yield per acre is far below our pos
sibilities, being now about "a BUSH
els per acre as compared with AZ
bushels in Ohio, and 80 in Iowa.
We can greatly increase our yield
by better methods of culture, and
by using better seed.
We have just received from the
Virginia Agriculture Experiment
Station, Blacksburg, Va, circular
No. 4, Selecting Seed Corn, by
Lyman Carrier, which gives de-
tailed information upon this SUBJ
iect. The common practice of TAX
ing seed-corn at random, from ears
stored in the crib, is largely re-
sponsible for low yields. 1t is not
enough to select the largest and
most perfect ears; these ears should
have been born by the most desir-
able plants. So it is best to select
seed-corn now, while the ear is on
the stalk. Choose the largest and
most perfect ears, we'll filed out at
butt and tip, and with long, wedge
shaped kernels; born low down up
on stout, medium-size, short-joint-
ed plants. Prefer plants bearing
two large ears. Store the ears in
strings of fifteen, in a dry, warm,
well-ventilated place, as a room
over the kitchen. A little care in
these respects often increases the
yield five or more bushels to the
acre. An increase Of even one
bushel per acre next year in Virgl-
mir, as result of careful selection
Of seed, would add over 81 900, OO0.-
90 to the wealth of the State, with
no extra cost of fertilizing or culti-
walton. This is one of the most
important subjects before the farm
ers of the State. This circular can
be had by making application to
the Virginia Agricultural Expert
ment Station, Blacksburg, Va.

EPlcuREs STUDY HOTELS.
Then They Go One Place or Another
as Fancy Dictates.

as FANCY DtctateS.
Epicures accustomed to dining In ho-
tells and restaurants study the policy
Of each fashionable place and readily
tell just why they go to one place or
avoid another. They have their likes
and d.slikes, aside from actual eating
regarding the walters. the music, the
ventilation and a hundred and one
other things a casual Visitor would
fail to appreciate.
For Instance, at enc restaurant only
single portions are served for one per-
son. At another, where the cooking Ia
equally good, half portions, nearly or
quite as large as the single portions OF
ether places, are served for one per-
son. There was little dispute at a
well known hotel over a mistake in an
order of trout and chicken that made
a difference of several dollars on a
check for rather simple dinner for
two. It was settled "out Of court" az
1t were, and quite agreeably, but hotel
managers regret and try to avoid these
mistakes, especially when the customer
is a regular visitor, for they know he
never forgets the details OF his eating
and Is slow to forgive an error.
Another popularity Of diners Is as to
the location Of tables. Some persons
cling to one table and feel aggrieyed
when they find another in their favor
lite seat. Restaurant proprietors have
tried to understand this popularity OF
their patrons, but have to admit they
fail to explain it-St. Louis Republic

wbv Naval Uniforms Are Blue.

Naval uniforms all the world over
pretty well are navy blue. The Brit
ish fashion in this matter has been the
rule with maritime people In general.
That blue was ever selected for the
kings naval service was fortuitoua
happening. When In 1741 the cues.
ton of uniform was being considered
the color selected had very like to
have been French gray laced with sil.
yer. While the king was still not
quite decided he saw the Duchess OF
Bedford In a riding habit OF blue
faced with white and enlivened with
gold lace. It was a revelation. Here,
the king declared, was the uniform for
his sea service officers, and no more
was heard Of French gray. The navy
took to blue, and every other navy has
taken to 1t since.-Pall Mall Gazette.

NOT FOR
OLSON
LONG IF ELECTED WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO HIRE HIM FOR HIS
DEPUTY.

Should Carlos Long become county
attorney, a supposition which is scott
ed at by almost everyone who is fam
liar with the manner in which poll
tical affairs are drifting, he will be
forced to look farther than c. H. Olson
for a deputy county attorney who will
be able to handle the work for which
Long will draw the salary. From
statement made by Judge Stanley, of
the firm of Holmes & Stanley, in which
Olson is a junior partner, it is ap.
parent that there is very little chance
that Olson would accept any offer made
by Long in the remote contingency of
the latter's election. lOlson is in
Washington at present, looking after
cases before the United States Su-
preme Court, and while Judge Stanley
stated that he could not speak directly
for him he made the following state
ment:
Mr.. Olson could not accept the posi-
ton of deputy county attorney under
the plan which has been mapped out
for him and for Mr.. Long by the Ad-
vertiser without leaving this firm and
/ am quite sure that he would not care
to do this. When he was with Mr..
Cathcart he was only taking up the
work of writing opinions, not of hand
ling the regular county attorneys
work, and he would hardly be able to
do even this under the present cir
cumstances, as Mr.. Holmes expects to
go away next year for considerable
period, which will keep Mr.. Olson very
busy here.
81 doubt very much if Mr.. Olson
would care to leave this firm to take
up the county attorneys work, for the
