~ Of 1873 over Obadiah Gardner,
! ue .ccratic opponent. The Repub-
Al plurality in 1904 was 26,S1e and
ii yfJ6 it vas 1904.
Ike feature of the election was the
Incl ease in the Democratic vote
throughout the state. Every one of
the four congressional districts showed
gains, the increase over 1904 being
$4,000 votes and 1000 over 1906. These
gains were made almost entirely in
the rural districts, showing generally
the popularity of Mr.. Gardner among
me farmers of the state. The Repub.
lican vote also was greater by 5000
than in 1906, but it fell 1000 below
the vote in 1904. The Republicans
also made good gains in the rural dis
tricts and in addition regained six
cities in the state, which left the mu-
inequalities evenly divided between
the two parties. All the Republican
candidates for congress were elected.
The incoming legislature will be
strongly Republican in both branches.
! The Republicans were on the defen-
sive throughout the campaign, seeking
TO hold the state by the usual plu-
rality by answering the various Dem
ocratic arguments, which were mainly
for resubmission of the prohibitory
law, taxation of the wild lands, and
reform in administrative methods. But
little was said of national issues, al
though the Republicans through out
side speakers sought at various points
to bring such subjects to the atten-
ton Of the people.

SELECTION OF SEED CORN.
rlOst Important Factor i'm Success
full Corn Growing.

FURNISHED by the Minnesota Far
mer's Institutes, St. Anthony Park,
st. Paul, NIinn.)
The total cost of growing and har-
vesting an acre of corn is between $40
and $12. 1t therefore takes 35 or 40
bushels at the average price of 80
cents to cover the cost of production.
The yield of corn depends, LIST, upon
the fertility of the soil; End, method
of tillage and cultivation; 5rd, charac-
ter of seed corn; 4th, weather condi-
lions. Three of these conditions can
be controlled by the farmer. Charac-
ter of seed is the most important
factor of all.
One 10 OF. ear per hill will give a
yield of % bushels per acre; two 10 OF.
ears per hill gives yield of 56 bushels,
and three 10 OF. ears per hill will give
a yield of 81 bushels. The average
yield of corn in Minnesota is about 80
bushels per acre. We are growing
about one third of a perfect stand.
The corn grower who can control the
stand of corn is the successful grower,
and with ''nearly perfect stand" can
secure 30 to 75 bushels of corn per
acre with average methods of Guilt
Walton. The stand of corn depends
upon the quality of seed corn. One
of the most desirable places from
which to get seed corn for any farm
is from the field of corn grown on
that farm. Select at husking time
few of the best ears as you find them
on good stalks. Have a basket or
box or sack along to put these good
ears in. If you desire to get your
variety to ripen earlier, go thru the
field before all the corn is ripe and
select good ears that ripen first. This
will probably reduce the size of tn
corn but it will make it earlier. AS
shown by the above figures, large
ears of corn are not necessary to get
a large yield, A good yield depends
on a good stand of stalks that will
bear ripe ears.
When the seed corn is selected in
the fall, it should be placed where it
will dry out quickly, where it cannot
heat and where it will not freeze.
The attic over the kitchen is a very
good place for seed corn. Every corn
grower should have his aim set for
100 bushels per acre. 1t can be real
lied in large part of Minnesota.

Sullivan Overweight and Atte|I
Comedies Him Few Pounds
By r. A. Sr11ytf1

The 20 round boxing bout between
Abe Attell and Brooklyn Tommy" Sui
livan hung in the balance for several
hours last night while promoters, man
ayers and fighters argued themselves
red in the face over the complications
which developed. The Office Of Sam
Berger, which seems to be the center Of
match making activities in this city,
was the scene of the discussion.
1t all came about through the fact
that Luke Marisch manager of the
club promoting the match, found that
Sullivan could not make the weight,
according to his statement, and he did
not want complications at the last mo-
ment. On Sunday afternoon Sullivan
weighed in the presence of the news
papermen and the scales registered
124% pounds. This was taken as a
guarantee that Sullivan would be able
to do 12S pounds at o'clock on Thurs
day afternoon.
Whether the scales had been juggled
with and did not show the true weight
is not known. but it developed that Sui
livan weighed 12s15 pounds yesterday
morning. The explanation made by
those at Sullivan training quarters is
that he will not try to control his ap-
petite for food and liquids and the
flesh that he works off on the road and
in the gymnasium comes back quickly
and with interest
ABE DRIVES HARD BARGAIN
Attell was notified during the after
noon Of the weight Sullivan scaled and
conference was arranged for last
night at which it was expected some
new arrangement would be made. At
tell wanted to hold both the club and
Sullivan up to the articles of agree
ment, but it was explained to him that
there was no chance of the fight being
held under the original terms. The
fight was called off several times by
both parties and then they came to-
gether again. Attell undoubtedly feels
that he can defeat Sullivan at any
weight but he tried to drive the hard
est possible bargain.
1t was finally agreed that Sullivan
would be allowed to weigh 126 pounds
at o'clock. but there was rearrange-
ment of the amount to be paid AttelI
for his services. His guarantee of
$4,000 was cut down slightly, but he
was allowed the privilege of taking so
