SEED CORN

l have quantity of Seed Corn
for sale that l think as near perfect
as is possible to have it. AS to it's
terminating qualities, l have made
six separate tests Of fifty kernels
each and have found but one kernel
that did not grow. Have employed
a new method for curing corn for
seed which is far superior to any
other have ever seen.
By actual test of one hundred lbs.
Of nice selected corn as it came
from the field. in good condition
for cribbing, expelled by this
method 21 lbs. of moisture. You
can readily see that the corn is very
dry. This was done before freez-
ing weather. AS to variety, be-
lieve the corn is as large as it is
safe to grow in this part of the
state. The last three years it has
been planted in variety plats in this
county under the supervision Of the
State Agricultural Station, they
sending representative to superin-
tend the planting and also to har-
vest it in the fall. Fifteen varie-
ties, including my own, were plant
ed.
l will not say that my corn was
superior in every respect, but will
say that in all essentials that go to
make up good corn, there were none
superior to mine, and most of them
interior.
My corn was awarded diploma
and bronze medal at the Pan-Ameri.
can Exposition at Buffalo. It has
taken the Sweepstake premium at
every Street Fair in Willmar.
My corn is known as White Car
Dent and will yield from 80 to 60
bushels and can be coaxed up to Is
bushels per acre. It never failed
to mature here, and is especially
adapted to the conditions of central
Minnesota.
Have grown cron in this county

ing seed corn speciality for twenty
five years.

Thomas NJ. Patterson through his

lean members of the state legislature
o. the back and telling them what a
great opportunity they now have to
snow themselves unselfish patriots and
what nice people they will be, If they
will only come to the help of his faction
Of the democratic party in the fight
now being waged in the legislature.
The democratic majority in the legisla-
ture is divided and the two factions
teaded by Spear and Patterson are at
war on the most important measures
before the legislature and neither fac
ton is strong enough to pass any meas
ures. Mr.. Patterson is very anxious to
secure the help Of the republicans to
put through his pet measures. The re-
pablicans do not owe Mr., Patterson or
either faction of the democratic party

rorthe legislature will act very foolish

There is bill before the Colorado
legislature providing that graduates Of
the colleges and universities Of the state
shall. on graduation, receive five year
certificate to teach, provided they have
devoted at least one sixth Of their col
legc course to educational subjects and
to practice teaching. II also provides
that after "a months of successful teach
ing this certificate may be exchanged
for life certificate.
This bill is good one and should be-
come law. One Of the greatest draw
backs to the greatest possible success
Of our public schools is the fact that
sufficient inducement Is not held out To
secure the best talent available for
work as instructors In the school room.
This bill should become law and then
vigorous crusade should be waged
for better wages for teachers. When.
ever the inducements held out for
teachers are sufficient 10 justify young
man or woman. who has spent much
time and money in securing nm educa-
tion, TO take up the work OF teaching
as life work, then and not ill then
will the best possible results be secured
from the work in the school room.

Two years ago the republican major
ity in the Colorado state legislature
passed what is known as the local OF.
ton law under which the city. towr,
ward or precinct could vote on the
question of making the territory anti
saloon territory. The temperance peo-
pie have contended for the construction
Of this law that, where city, town or
ward had majority vote for no saloon
and certain precinct Of this territory
had majority in favor of the saloon,
the vote Of the larger territory should
govern and the whole territory should
be declared anti-saloon territory. The
saloon advocates have contended for
the opposite construction Of the law.
So far as rhe question has been pass
ed upon in the courts, the construction
contended for by the temperance advo.
Gates has prevailed and the question is
now before the supreme court.
II seems that the saloon advocates
are not satisfied to trust the matter to
a decision Of the supreme court but
have prepared and had introduced bill
to so amend the local option law as to
make 1t correspond with the contention
Of the saloon interests.
This bill should be defeated and we
do not believe the legislature would
dare think seriously Of its passage af-
ter the hearty endorsement that has
been accorded the local option law since
its enactment.
A majority Of city, town or ward
should rule in all such matters regard.
