produced the worlds best ear.
''My parent stock consisted of
Reeds Yellow dent seed as the male
plant, and the mother plant was from
Alexander Gold Standard variety. The
corn was planted two rows of yellow
dent and then two rows of gold stand

produced the seed from which the
worlds best ear of corn has been pro-
duced
"My system farming is to rotate

acres of land, the yield in the field
from which this ear was selected was
about 80 bushels to the acre.
"The ear came from those among
selected by my men for seed. and as
soon as We examined it carefully, we
decided it was prize winner. The
credit is due to my wife or hired men

A DANGEROUS DOCTRINE.

1t seems that the specialists in the
agricultural department at Washing
ton have lately conceived the notion
that If the weeds are kept down in a
field of corn by hoeing once a week the
yield will be as much or more than If
tended in the usual way with cult
vator. A farmer not far from where
the writer lives was asked to give this
idea a test, and his report. made a
short time ago. is in substance as fol-
lows: Six rows twelve rods long were
planted in the open field. and during
the growing season the only care CIV
en- the plot was to cut Off the weeds
once week with hoe, while the corn
on either side was given the customary
treatment with drag and corn plow
and also kept clean with hoe. At husk-
ing time the four middle rows in the
uncultivated plot yielded 3O1 pounds
Of corn. while four rows Of equal
length beside it. cultivated as stated.
yielded 261 pounds of corn. Accord
ing to these figures. the uncultivated
corn yielded at the rate Of sixty BUSH
els to the acre. while the other yielded
but fifty-two bushels. 1t would seem
in view Of the enormous loss that is
sustained by corn growers Of the coun-
try annually through lack Of proper
cultivation Of their fields that the
above is mighty risky doctrine for
the department at Washington to pro-
mulgate. In the first place, so many
Of the conditions attending the expert
ment are unknown-namely. the char
acter Of the soil. which for ene proper
circulation Of the air and moisture
might need little or much cultivation.
whether the cultivation given was Of
the proper kind. how thick the weeds
were and how much cultivating the
stirring Of the soil with a hoe proved
to be-that the value Of the expert
ment in proving the idea entertained
is largely vitiated. More than all this
this hoeing method were preferable
the labor situation is such as to make
this way of handling any but very
limited areas an absolute impossibili-
ty. Better would the department de-
vote its energies to proving. as has
repeatedly been done. that corn that
is cultivated six and seven times dur
ing the growing season will yield from
eight to twenty bushels more per acre
than corn that is cultivated but twice
This is the kind Of gospel that needs
preaching to the Indifferent and care
less farmer. who If he were to adopt
the hoe method could not be counted
on to work the handle as vigorously
as would be necessary to give ideal
conditions and desired results.

According to L. B. Clore, superinten-
dent of judges, the Palm ear is not
only the best ear of corn this year.
but it is finer specimen than the
famous Pascal ear. which sold for $3.50
two years ago.
1T is the best ear the world has
ever produced" says Prof G. L. Chris
tie of Purdue university, who was one
of the Judges. 1T is all corn-very
little cob. The kernels are q of an
inch deep and in perfect rows.
There is no way of telling it's
worth. no way of estimating the influ-
ence the seed from the ear will have
on the corn of our state, and it is to
be hoped some Indiana man will buy
it,"
At the close of the exposition, De-
cember IS, the Palm ear will be sold
to the highest bidder. Judging by the
prices paid for other famous ears of
corn, it is expected the ear will sell
for more than $500.

Omaha, Dec. 13.-Fred G. Palm OF
Newton, Ind, has the best single ear
of corn in the world, while another In
dianan. J. r. Overstreet of Franklin
has the best ten ears of corn the
world has ever seen, according to the
judges at the National Corn EXPOSE
ton in session here who have awarded
the $4,000 in prizes offered by the
show, and have given first place in
both sweepstakes to Indiana farmers.
More than that, G. l.. Kerlin of
Franklin, Ind, won the prize offered
for the best bushel of corn in the
world, demonstrating that the Hoosier
state has some superior seed corn
which is a winner at any corn show.
This is the third successive year
that the first prize for ten ears Of
corn has gone to Indiana.
For the best single ear of corn in
the world, Mr. Palm has been awarded
the Kellogg Trophy, worth $1,000;
while Mr.. Overstreet takes back to
his state the $1,000 silver trophy Of

D. 4. R. OFFICIAL
CONFESSES THEFT
Miss MacIay, Curator of So

PROSECUTION.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 13-There
was CONSERVATION in d. A. r. circles
yesterday when it was learned Miss
Sarah b. Maclay, one of the most
the organization, for fourteen years
curator of the society, had confessed
that for years she has been systemati-
cally robbing the organization.
The confession was made to Mrs.
Matthew r. Scott, president general
of the organization, in the presence of
Mrs. Mabel G. Swormstedt, CORE
spending secretary general, and two
post office inspectors detailed on the
case.
Stole From 81 900 to $4,000.
The amount of Miss Maclay's pecu-
lations is not known. and is variously
estimated at from 81 900 to $4,000.
AS soon as the confession was obtain
ed Miss Maclay left for her old home,
Huntington, Pa. The confession was
withheld from the daughters until the
monthly meeting of the national board
of management.
Mrs. Scott told reporters that the
society had determined not to prose-
cute nor demand restitution.
1t also is said that the post office
authorities will not prosecute. as the
letters were rifled by Miss Maclay af-
ter they we're placed in the possession
of the d. A. r. authorities. The sums
taken were small, mainly subscrip-
tlons for the d. A. r. organ, the Am
erican monthly, which is sold for 81
year.
Took Cash from Letters.
AS curator Miss Maclay was intrust-
ed with the handling of the mail of
the business manager of the maya
zine. In cases where she suspected the
letters held cash she opened them and
took the money, then carefully reseal-
ed the missives. Checks sent usually
reached their destination.
Hundreds of complaints annually
reached the headquarters from sub
scribers who declared the magazine
had not been sent to them. Many of
these complaints were intercepted by
Miss Maclay.
