Is largely q matter OF variety and
conditions. For rich Missouri bot
toms and uplands, much larger ears
should be around ten inches In
length, and about 71-2 inches in
circumference measured at a point
1-S the distance from butt to tip,
Some early varieties run consider
ably under these measurements and
some to the rich land varieties, con
biderably over, but this Ia standard.
1t does not usually pay to select
the very largest ears n can find,
as they do moi reproduce them
selves uniformly. An ear Of good
size, burt not extremely large for
the variety Is best.
An ear should be compact In the
arrangement Of the kernels with
straight rows and with just as llttle
lost space between the kernels as
possible. The butt OF the a Of
corn should be we'll rounded out
with kernels, evenly arranged
around a cup shaped cavity, about
one inch across in medium sized
varieties. If the butt Is large, the
ears will break off too hard In husk
ing. If the attachment to the stalk
Is under a half inch in diameter,
the ears are apt to blow off badly.
Coarse, irregular kernels at the
butt, with spaces between are TO
be avoided.
The tip Of an ear of corn should
be well filled out evenly to the end
Of the cob, with deep regular kerr
nels and IL possible healed over.
Ordinarily however, a perfectly
covered tip, means a short ear and
IL too much attention Is given to
the covering of the tips in selecting
corn, there Is a tendency to cause
the ear to grow too short.
The size OF the cob and the depth
of the kernel should be medium.
Too large a cob is wasteful, while
a very small cob is usually found in
varieties Of rather small size. Such
cobs usually bear deep kernels and
both the depth of kernel and size
of cob may be over done. The cob
bears the same relation to the pro-
duction of corn, as does bone in
the beef animal; It may be too fine,
or too course. Very deep kernels
usually have poor germs; they
shell off badly and are apt to be
loose on the cob. A medium deep
kernel on a medium sized cob seems
to give better results in the *
periments thus far conducted.
. The germ, or heart, of a kernel of
corn should be large, smooth and
fresh in appearance. When brok-
en- open, it should show a fresh oily
character, not discolored. Good
germs in an a of corn, are exceed
ingly important. |

call of the president.
Mr. Wheeler, as chairman,
called the meeting to order. The
reading of the minutes OF the
last institute were dispensed with
till a later session.
Prof Albert Dickens of the
Kansas Agricultural College, ad-
dressed the institute on the sub
ject of "Orcharding in Western
Kansas. The students and fac
ulty of the Trego County High
School attended in a body, there
being about one hundred and ten

hearing.
The institute adjourned for the
noon hour and were called to or

The first local speaker being alb
sent, the subject, Windmill Ir-
rigation," was taken up in gen
era1 discussion, Messrs Wheeler,

At p. m. Prof Dickens gave
an address on DRY Land Farm
ing," at the close of which the
institute adjourned until Friday
morning at 1920 o'clock. The
High School was again in attend
ance.
The Trego County Farmers
Institute met on Friday pursuant
to adjournment. AS President
Wheeler was absent, Vice Presi-
dent Harlan occupied the chair.
The minutes of the last institute
were read and approved.
The program having been

j. A. Rich in a short talk that
showed that he was a western

Prospects for the passage of
state fair bill are hot particularly
bright. There is three corner
ed fight on between Hutchinson,
Topeka and Wichita. Each wants
the fair. Topeka and Wichita are
willing to let state fair bill go
through without naming a loca-
tion and fight out that question
later But Hutchinson is opposed
to any fair bill that doesn't name
Hutchinson as the fair town
Then there is a disposition to
keep down appropriations and
many members believe that the
state should not put up $1,000
for d state fair this year.
The Dolley bill consolidating
state boards has passed the house
and gone to the senate. 1t abOl-
ishes the Hutchinson reformato-
ry board, the penitentiary board
and puts those two Institutions
under the state board of control
The administration believed that
it would be economy to make
such a change. The board of con-
troll now buys all of the supplies
for the charitable institutions:
the board of managers of the re
formatory buy supplies for the
Hutchinson refOrmatOry, and the
prison directors buy supplies for
the penitentiary. Three sets of
books are kept and three lettings
of contracts held. Under the new
plan there will be one set of books
and oneletting for all institutions.
The bill also takes the reforma-
tory and penitentiary out of poll
tics, which is regarded as one of
the best features of the measure.
The anti-lobby bill is working
like charm. Most of the repre-
SentativeS of the different corpo-
rations affected by pending legis-
lation have registered. When
the bill was pending, they felt
that it would be reflection upon
them to register, as it would class
them as lobbyists. Since they
have registered, however, they
find themselves in good company
and don't seem to mind it. One
of the first men to register was
j. G. Mohler, assistant TO Secre-
tary F. D. Coburn in the agricul-
tural department. He signed the
roll so that he could look after
several bills affecting his depart
ment and the farmers of the
state generally.

ASKS A BIG SUN.
Miss Jessie Carter Sues ]. NJ.
Rinker for $4,000.

because, as Slo Claims, y dIn0S
NJ Rinker, a wealthy farmer and
stockman of Trego county, made
love to her, became engaged to
marry her. beguiled her into
holding Illicit relations with him
for a period of several months
and finally abandoned her, and
because during the entire period
of time cover ed in her complaint
he was a married man having a
home with a wife on his Trego
county farm, Miss Jessie Carter
of 1906 Olive street, Kansas City,
Mo, yesterday filed suit in the
circuit court at Topeka for $50
900.
The petition filed by Miss Car
ter is sensational 1t covers
eight or ten typewriter pages,
and recites a shocking story.
She says that she is a young
woman 80 years old and that
Rinker is a man past so. She
says they first met in January,
1907, and that from the first he
paid marked attention to her and
made love to her. About the
middle of February, 1907, they
We're engaged to be married. He
represented himself to be a
wealthy widower, his children
all grown. He told her, she says,
that as soon as they were mar
ried he would sell his Trego
county properties and they
would buy a home il Kansas
City She believed him implic-
lily and returned his affection
He took her to places OF amHse-
ment and came often to her
home to visit with her He wrote
her ardent letters whenever he
was away from Kansas City, at
TregO county or elsewhere, often
writing every day. He called
her wife" and sweetheart"
and other endearing names and
led her in every way to believe
that he was deeply in love with
her and intended to marry her
She says he represented him
self to be, and was, the possess
or of a large amount of land
stocked with horses, cattle and
implements, and was also posses
sed of much money. To have
married a single man so fixed in
life would materially have en-
hanced her welfare, says Miss
Carter, who offers this showing
as to his financial standing for
the purpose of convincing the
court that he is able to pay the
large amountof damages claimed.
Some time after their relations
were firmly established, Miss |
Carter learned of Rinker's being
a married man. The next time |
he came to see her she at once
taxed him with being married \
and told him that their relations |
must stop at once He protest
ed his great love for her and said .
he intended to get a divorce /
from his present wife so as to 1
marry her. She firmly objected, +
She states, and he then threaten
ed. if she did not continue their f.
to expose her to shame
by telling people. This threat /
and the promise that he would /
get a divorce and marry her. she
says, induced her to resume the
former relations, which continu-
ed until some time in the winter
of 1908, when he abandoned her
comepletely.
Miss Carter says she became
sick from worry and was under
the care of doctors for several
months. She lost her position
in society, and all her friends
ceased recognizing her or having
to do with her, thus
her social outcast. She
says these friends were the best
people in Kansas City, and that
their friendship was very valua-

made ludicrous blunder. This letter
was written by G. ]. London, botan-

beautiful beeches. The duke misread
the signature for that Of G. J. Bloom

A very old man once called to see

planned as the reason of his visit that
he was the cabman who drove him to

long years before.
Lord Strathcona was interested in

that death had just deprived him Of

Again, after time, the old man
called on Lord Strathcona and this
time told him that both his grandsons
were down with typhoid fever and, as
Lord Strathcona had helped him be-

some gossiping chat about Scotland
Lord Strathcona again comforted the
old man with little money.
When he had gone an official who
had overheard the conversation said:
