FARMERS ASKED TO SAVE OUT SAMPLES

Springfield H.. July 2C.-The corn
show committee. appointed at the last
meeting of the Illinois Corn Growers
convention in January, 1909, TO plan
for a still better corn show at the cen
vention next winter. feels that an eX-
hibit of oats. as well as corn. should
be made as an incentive to better oat
production in Illinois. The time of
cat harvest is almost upon us, and
the selection and saving of sample of
gain in it's natural state must be at
tended 10 at once if the best display
and the most instructive exhibit of
oats is to be made at that convention.
The committee, therefore, requests
every farmer or land owner in Illinois,
who is interested in improving the oat
crop of the state, both as TO quantity
and quality, to aid in this movement.
To this end the committee believes
that the securing of sample of oats
from a representative portion of the
field to be shown in their natural state,
together with a peck sample OF the
threshed grain. will be more instruc-
, tive than sample of either one apart
from the other.
How TO Take the sample.
1t is suggested that a hoop from an
! OF binary salt barrel be taken as 4
measure of the area from which to
take the grain in the straw DrOD the
hoop in to the standing grain. and then
carefully cut out all the grain enclosed
as closely to the ground as possible
Make a record of the diameter of hoop
used. The sample thus obtained should
be carefully bound into small sheat

BACK FROM ELCIN
Company A and Colonel Chan
non and Staff Return from
Brigade Encampment.
WAS A PROFITABLE WEEK
Although There Was No Rife Range
Nor Track Contests. Boys We're
Kept Pretty Busy.

The local company of militia re-
turned Saturday evening from its
annual encampment which took
place at Camp Deneen at Elgin. The
return was made in a special train
over the Milwaukee and the staff
panies F of Moline and B of Gene
SEQ had coaches in the train, which
arrived in this city about 1880 Sat
urday evening The Moline and Gen
cseo companies cars were switched
from the Milwaukee onto the Rock
island and taken to their homes.
The local boys report that they
enpoyed the encampment this year
far more than they have at any time
during the past and the principal
reason seems to have been because
the whole Third brigade was in
camp at the same time which made
the affair very realistic ard like Il
genuine war encampment.
New Line Of Work.
The battalion, regimental, and bril-
gade drills which were INDUCED in
proved OF considerable interest to the
soldiers and they became very pro-
iicient in them before camp was
broken. No rifle practice nor track
and field meets enliyened the week
this year. but everything was new to
the boys and they put in their spare
time in various ways SO that these
features were not missed very much
Considerable satisfaction was ex-
pressed in Camp Deneen as a place
| for the annual encampment. The
soldiers have it reported among
| themselves that General Grant stated
he would see to it that the guards
| men are taken into Wisconsin mex
year for real week outing. This
city was also mentioned as possible
: place for the encampment of the
state troops next year.
! Saturday afternoon the Third bri
gade took part in huge parade il
/ honor of the annual enCampment o
the Spanish-American War veterans
which was held in Elgin during the
! latter part of the week. Fully 5,00t
men were i'll the line CT march anC
one hour was spent in marching pas

was left. People came 10 ElSin from
cities all over the state to witness
the parade and the celebration of thu
