SOME REASONS FOR IT.

While it is a matter of real concern that thousands of small towns are having their very lifeblood sapped out by the large increase in catalogue house business, there are some fea- lures in the cause of this increase that it would be well if merchants and residents of these same small towns would take into account. One is the practice of the merchant in charg- ing more than a reasonable profit on some lines of goods offered for sale. This begets the mail order habit, which doesn't, as rule, stop with the articles on which unreasonable prices have been charged. Another reason for the mail order business is that the home merchant so seldom in his ad- vertising announcement-if, indeed, he has one ill the home paper-names a definite and specific price for his goods, a thing that is invariably done in the mail order catalogue. Another feature that is raising hob with more than one town is that staples offered for sale in it's stores cost more than the same goods in adjoining towns, while the prices paid for live stock and produce are from 10 to 30 cents per hundred less. In helping the small town out of the dilemma which many of them are getting into there is much that can be done by those whose in terests are most vitally involved

CHINESE CORN.

In 1908 the department of agricul- ture at Washington received a small lot of shelled corn from China, and a test was given it the same season. It showed qualities which may make it valuable in the breeding of a type of corn which will be adapted to the hot and semiarid conditions of the south west. The plant raised in the test averaged less than six feet in height, with an average of a dozen green leaves at the time of tasseling. The ears averaged five and one-half inches ill length and four and One-half inches ill greatest circumference, with six teen to eighteen rows of small grains. A peculiarity of this variety is that OH the upper part of the stalk the leaves are all on one side instead of being arranged on both, as ill the na- tive corn. The upper leaves stand erect, their tips extending beyond the tassel. The silks of the ear are pro- luced at the point where the leaf blade is joined to the leaf sheath, and of an ear beyond slight swelling. This latter characteristic would seem to be an aid ill preventing q frying out of the silks before pOllinH i.r. T. is thought i>- the department .a;"iA!3 that by e.. HgrodiD@ somr 'o 2 desirable s1 litieS may be t~"n%rnit- ted to q ldrser type of corn.
