ably good crops. This does not mean
however. that the stand might not
have been made better and the crop
larger had these same farmers given
more care to the selection, storing and
treatment of their seed corn.
The condition Of corn in the spring
of 1905 that had stood during the win.
ter in shock or crib emphasizes in
striking way the risks that are run IN
using seed that has not been properly
saved. OF large number of ears test.
ed at the Michigan Agricultural col
lege for vitality those selected from
the shock invariably produced an ex-
ceedingly low number Of examinations
More than 30 per cent Of the ears pro
duced no termination whatever, and
Of those that did show vitality it was
rare that 100 per cent Of the kernels
terminated. The conditions under
which corn PASSED the winter were ex-
ccedingly bad. but even with the best
conditions there are influences, such a.
freezing, holding and the like which
of necessity tend TO reduce the vitality
Of the corn.
The ear should be selected while It
still remains on the standing stalk
The stalk should be Of good size. with
considerable foliage. The position of
the ear should be considered. If too
low it is apt to mature late. It is the
opinion OF the college experimenters
that increased yields are secured by
the judicious selection Of seed from
stalks bearing two ears. The ideal ear
should be cylindrical. not tapering. TX
perience teaches that rough top kernels
are best.
The selected ears should be placed
where they will dry in the shortest
reasonable time and various methods
have been employed for this purpose.
There IS no better method from the
standpoint Of efficiency than the old
one Of braiding the ears together by
the husks left upon them or tying
them in lots by strings and hanging in
the summer kitchen or in the attic
above near the stovepipe. This, how
ever. requires considerable room and
is not altogether satisfactory to the
workers in the kitchen. \ furnace

IN CONTEMPT
IN ODD CASE
Supreme Court Holds Officials
Who Permitted LynChIng,
FIRST TINE ON RECORD

Sheriff and Five Others Guilty Of Con-
spring to Lynch Negro Who Had
Been Sentenced to Death, and In
Whose Case the United States su-
preme Court Had Granted an APP
peal.
For the first time in so serious a
case the supreme court of the United
States will. on next Tuesday, under
take to mete out punishment for the
crime of contempt OF the court itself,
and the Importance of the occasion
will be enhanced by the number Of
the defendants.
The proceedings will take place in
connection with the cases Of Sheriff
Shipp and Deputy Sheriff Gibson, Of
Hamilton county, Tenn, and four 9th
er residents of that county, named re-
spectively Williams, Nolan. Padgett
and May. These men were declared
by the court to be guilty of an act of
contempt in combining in 1905 in a
conspiracy TO lynch a negro named
Johnson. who had been sentenced TO
death by the local courts upon the
charge of rape and in whose case the
supreme court had interfered to the
extent of granting an appeal, which
had the effect of a supersedeas. On
the night following the announcement
Of the courts action Johnson was
taken ont Of the jail in Chattanooga
by mob and lynched. There was no
resistance on the part of the jail au-
thoriues. and Ship and a number
Of his deputies. as well as about
twenty citizens. were proceeded
against on the charge of contempt OF
the federal court.
The case has been pending ever
since. and the number of defendants
was from time to time reduced TO
nine. OF these nine three were found
guiluess. while the other six were or
dered TO be brought into court next
Tuesday for sentence. They will be
taken into custody Immediately. and
will appear in court in charge of Mar
shall Wright. The sentence may be
either fine or Imprisonment. or both.
The case is regarded as Of excep-
tional interest, because it is practi-
cally the first time that the highest
court in the United States has ever
undertaken to assert its dignity or to
resent acts or words rejecting upon it.
