QUESTION
ARISES

Washington D. c.. June 11.-From
st. Paul Minnesota, has come an in
teresting question which must be de-
cided by the government. In a broad
sense it is whether or not govern.
ment employe has the right to do
outside work while drawing salary
from Uncle Sam. The Minnesota case
however has some extra friEIs.
Crocus Hill. in st. Paul, is a fashion
able quarter occupied by wealthy and
exclusive families. Dr. Bell is a negro
dentist ]. P. Anderson Is a negro
mail carrier, he Is also a lawyer and
real estate agent While he was not
carrying letters to the Crocus Hill dis
trict he worked sale of fine resi-
dence there to Dr. Bell DR.. Bell
rented the house to two Of lbout the
blacklist darkey families OF st. Paul.
Crocus Hill threatened a veritable race
war, but getting down to the practical
side determined to retaliate upon
Anderson by getting him fired as
mail carrier on the grounds that he
did not make carrying letters his sole
occupation They will call upon First
Assistant Postmaster General Green
field to determine whether a mail
carrier has the right to carry on
law and real estate business while he
is In the civil service as all mail car
riers are Mr.. Greenfield said today
that he did not know of any rule in
the postoffice department that would
forbid mail carrier doing any work
he pleased II it did not interfere with
his service as a mail carrie.
A few years ago similar question
arose in Washington when government
printers became 'sun downers." In
Washington a "sun downer" is a per-
son who works for the government and
after hours holds down another job.
There are hundreds of lawyers, doc
tors, architects and what not who are
"sun downers.' They have out signs
that give their office hours from 7 to
8 a. m. and from to p. m. or what
ever other hours they choose. From
to 4:30 they work for Uncle Sam.
When Roosevelt refused to make the
government printing office a union
shop and there was big printers
strike in Washington, the government
printers who were not union men and
whose jobs were not jeopardized by
the union boycott, they being under
the civil service, would work in the
government printing Office during the
day and then would go into the down
town offices which were closed during
the day for want of printers and put
in several hours for the printing Of
fices which the unions had closed
The unions tried to stop this by call
ing upon the officials and the civil
service to prevent the government en-
ployes from doing outside work but
they failed. The most valid objection
raised to the "sun downers" is that
they cannot do as much or as good
work for the government when they
work overtime on the outside and that
besides, they do work that will furnish
other people employment, which. so
long as they are being paid by. the
government, they have no right to do.

Modern Agriculture
VII.-The Selection of Seed
By C. v. GREGORY,
Agricultural Division. xowa STATE COLLEGE

lSricuIfura1 DiVisf0n. IoUa Stare college

we'll, however, to give a brief outline
Of the methods Of prevention here.
Smut is fungous growth--that is, q
low form Of plant which lives on other
plants. 1t usually attacks the heads
OF small grain, filling the place where
the kernels should be with 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
a tiny thread up through the stem to
the head, where it develops into the
familiar smut ball. Often these smut
balls are inside of hull that appears
perfectly sound from the outside. so
that the damage from smut is much
greater than would appear from sim
ply glancing over the field.
ANY method Of treatment which will
destroy the smut spores on the grain
will prove effective, although the smut
which is scattered in the field some
times infects the plants the next year
When rotation is practiced, however.
this is seldom the case, as the oat
smut will not attack corn, nor will
corn smut grow on oats.
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-
hitting Of much more careful choice
The most important point to be consid-
cred in the selection of seed ears is ma
turfty. An ear that is not entirely ma
ture will be light, the kernels will be
loose on the cob and have a dull
chaffy appearance, and the germs will
be shrunken and the back of the kerr
nelS wrinkled.
Such corn should not be selected for
seed because the amount Of food ma
terial stored in the kernel Is too small
to give the young sprout much Of a
start. The germ Is also likely to be
weak from being frozen while still in
the immature. watery condition. The
fact that an ear Is not entirely ripe
indicates. too. that it belongs to a
variety Just little late for the local
ity.
Ears that are not entirely ripe are
not nearly so valuable for seed as
ripper. sounder ones. even If the latter
are not so large. BY selecting only
ears of this early maturing type a
strain Of corn can soon be developed
