He stated this morning i'm speaking
of the matter. as follows: II have

treatment and If they don't impose
stronger restrictions on drug stores

4 councilman, who does not wish
his name published in connection
with his statement. made the fol-
lowing statement attacking the sim
cerity of Mayor Rodgers, in his veto:
Rodgers has assumed the char
acter Of a demagogue by his veto.
He suggests changes in his veto,
which could be made without regard
to the license You do not hear him
suggesting any license for the bar
at the Illihee club, of which he is a
member even regulation
which would restrict the selling of
liquor to the same hours as a saloon.

Apropos Of the article in recent
Issue OF the American Cultivator up
on preserving seed corn and other
seeds. w. {. Mason of Pawlet, VT,
says that much OF the trouble from
infertile seed corn is caused by its
being exposed TO freezing weather
before the grain is thoroughly dry. His
practice Is to keep 1t In a dry. warm
room-a modern dairy stable will an
swer--until midwinter or until he is
sure 1t is well dried when it may
be hung In any protected. dry spot.
But he thinks there is no advantage in
exposing 1t to storms.
Mr.. Mason has also found from act
ual tests that 1t Is not ESSENTIAL that
seed corn be selected only from that
fully ripe and glazed. Buj that II the
corn is fully grown. though in quite
milky stage. 1t will gernhnate well IL
treated as he suggests and practices.
