Noble was a member Of a powerful

Anti-saloon People Gain In Kentucky
Lexington, KY, Nov. 3-The anti
saloon people in Kentucky are claim
ing that they have won a great vic
tory. At the last session of the state
legislature the Anti-Saloon League
needed but few votes of being strong
enough to pass the county unit bill.
They claim to have gained ten votes
by the election throughout the state
and to be able now to pass any tenn
perance legislation desired. The lead
ers of the movement say the county
unit bill will be voted upon first, but
that soon they hope to put the state
wide question before the legislature.
The league before the election had
every candidate to declare himself,
and they feel assured that the ma
iority of the men who pledged them
selves have won.

the cob. To secure this the ear should
be well filed out at butt and tip and
fairly uniform in size from end to end.
The kernels should be so firm on the
ear that It cannot be twisted in the
hands. There should be no spaces
between the kernels next to the cob,
nor should the spaces between the
tops Of the kernels be too great. They
should not be packed together too
tightly at this latter point, however,
as this binders rapid drying out. The
rows should be straight and the ker-
nels of uniform size.
In starting out to select ears Of. the
desired type the work can be done
much more quickly If the corn is laid
out on a table or bench. Then by
taking an ear for a sample which
most nearly represents your ideal you
can go over the entire lot and quick
" pick out the ears that are most
like It. The point of selecting ears Of
a uniform type is an important one.
as only in this way can the corn
grower hope to make improvement
from year to year The methods OF
breeding corn to secure increased
yield will be taken up in detail IN the

of the methods Of prevention here
Smut is fungous growth-that is. a
low form OF plant which lives on other
plants. It usually attacks the heads
of small grain, filing the place where
the kernels should be with a black.
worthless mass. The black dust of
which this mass is made up is com
prised largely of spores. which CORE
spond to seeds Of higher plants. These
spores become scattered over the seed
In thrashing and storing. In the
spring, when the grain sprouts. the
smut spore terminates also and sends
tiny thread up through the stem to
the head, where it develops into the
familiar smdt ball Often these smut
balls are inside of a hull that appears
perfectly sound from the outside. so

greater than would appear from sim

Any method of treatment which will /

The selection of seed corn is even
more important than the selection Of
small grain. since so much less corn
is required TO plant an acre. thus per

The most important point to be consid-

~ NE OF the most important fac.
tors IN crop production is the
selection of seed. This is i'm
portant not only in producing
a large yield, but also in obtaining a
product of the highest quality.
The use of the tanning mill as a
means Of sorting out the heaviest,
plumpest grains was spoken of in the
previous article. The Importance Of
this means of seed selection cannot be
too greatly emphasized.
One of the principal reasons for Sc
lecting the largest grains for seed is
that they contain so much more food
for the young plant This enables it
to make a strong, vigorous start
such plants nave more vitality, grow
faster and produce larger yields than
plants from shriveled seeds, which
have struggle for existence from
the time they terminate. Another
reason for selecting plump seed is
that the resulting crop is likely to be
Of better quality and will thus bring
higher price when sold The old

plants as well as to animals. One Of

Here is proof that the modern up
start OF a turkey was already rivaling
in favor the classic capon with the
British farmer.
The Jesuits long were credited
with having introduced the turkey into
France from Spain. This may &C
count for the lifelong animosity to
the Jesuits of the great critic Boileau
of Louis XIV.'s time. For BOileau,
as a child, fell one day in his fathers
barnyard, and before he could pick
himself up was so severely bitten by
two old turkey cocks that he suffered
from the effects for many years aft
erward. What more natural than that
he should hate the Jesuits?
The first official mention OF our ma
tional bird in Italy is in 1857. when
the magistrates of Venice. in an ordi-
nance to suppress luxury. forbade its
presence at any tables but those of
the clergy. the nobility and their own.
In 1870 Bartollomeo Scappi, chief cook
to Pope Plus ". gave in his cookery
book several recipes for roasting tur
keys and dressing them with chest
nuts and garlic which have not been
improved upon to this day-in Italy,
at least.
]. F. D. Smythe, who wrote in 1884
Tour of the United States of Amer
ica," declared that in the unsettled
country back of Virginia he CIV wild
turkey flocks of more than 5000; while
in the woods of Pennsylvania they
were so numerous that their eggs
were easily found by the farmers
children and carried off to be placed
under setting hens. No doubt tur-
keys were abundant enough within
gunshot of the Plymouth settlement.
and for this very reason would have
formed, even had they been less deli
cious in flavor, the piece de resist
ance of that first Thanksgiving feast
with which ever since they have been
inseparably connected.
