MAKING SEED CORN
AND HOW TO Do IT
All Depends on the Grain Put in
the Ground and
iow.
TREATISE ON SEED MAKING
Breeding Seed Corn Is a Fine
Art Well Worth Your
Attention.
TREATISE ON SEED MAKING

The boys who are making up the
corn growing clubs in Virginia are get
ting more and more enthusiastic. God
bless the boys. They are on the right
line. The thing for them to do is TO
get right In the matter of corn-groW-
Ing. The way to get right is to seed
right. To seed right you must have
the right kind of seed. and any Of
the boys can make their own seed II
they will just go at II right. The old
folks can do as well along this line
as the boys can. Both the boys and
the old folks will do well to follow
the instructions given below. which
are borrowed from one of the best
of farm journals:
Select an acre or half-acre, some
distance from all other cornfields, have
1t of fair fertility. prepare just as
we'll as you know how, fertilize liber-
ally, but not excessively, plant the very
best seed you can obtain OF the va
riety you wish to grow next year, and
give it thorough cultivation the season
through.
This seed acre is not the one to
try for the biggest yield on, but you
want to give every stalk on 1t .
chance to do its best Thin out all
beginning. and be sure that the corn
Is not too thick. 1t is not necessary
indeed. 1t may be Injurious. as tending
to promote too much growth Of stalk.
to have the stalks at great distances
apart. but there should be no crowd
ing. Then when the tassels begin to
appear, II there are any stalks that
seem to be barren, remove the tassels
from these before they rpen their
pollen and thus have a chance to re-
produce their tendency to barrenness
by fertilizing the pistillate flowers on
others stalks. If there are any other
stalks that are for any reason OBJ
jectionable, untrue to type. or un-
healthy in appearance. detassel then,
too.
keep an eye on the patch all sum-
mer long and when you go to select
the ears for planting next fall. choose
them with regard to the characteristics
of the whole plant on which they
grew. and not simply because they are
pretty ears. Save the very best ears
for planting your seed patch next year,
label them so that they cannot be lost.

7ention in St. Louis May 81

Farmers Union, has called Nation

pose. 1t is to discuss needed Nation

of making the farm more attractive
in order that the proposed solution OF
the economic problems Of today
"back to the farm" may be maie
possible.
President Barrett in his call says:
"This Will be a National mass
meeting for farmers unparalleled in
scope, probably in Importance, un-
Gpubtedly in attendance, in the MIS-
tory Of America. I invite not only
every member Of our organization,
but also all agricultural organizations
ard all American farmers without
regard to location Of organization.
Throughout the present session
Of congress the Farmers Union has
maintained a legislative bureau al
Washington. This bureau is prepar-
ing a report in which the status Of
legislation demanded and needed by
the farmer, is set forth. It vii! ie
read at St. Louis.
At no time in the history of the
nation has the farmer been the OBJ
ject Of more soicitude to thoughtful
public men. From congress, from
every newspaper forum, from every
pulpit goes up the cry, back to the
land expert students Of economics
are warning US that unless the lot OF
the farmer be improved, unless more
of his number be kept on the farm
We shall soon be depending on for
eien nations for some Of our food. It
is therefore at this time that I invite
the farmers ofAmerica to join hands,
brain and heart in a council which
shall thresh out issues close to the
life of the nation.'

ing the stirring meeting to-day Of
the Pennsylvania State Federation Of

adopted asking that the American

wide strike, conservative delegates
tonight expressed that the meeting
was too precipitate in its action, some
charging that the convention was
stampeded by ". D. Mahon, presi-

of Street and Electric Railway
Employees.
Mr.. Mahon came here with a del
egation from Philadelphia and as
sured the convention that the strik-
ers would win if they had the sup
port Of the union of the State. He
aroused the delegates to a high
pitch of enthusiasm and when the
resolution that had been prepared

SPARTANBURG MAYOR -.
BEATS JUDGE lands
Albert Dearman Must Pay Fines Az
gregating S16,6O0 or Go TO Pris-
on for Fourteen Years.

Spartanburg, March 10.-All rec
ords for heavy fines and long prison
sentences for municipal courts in
the United States were broken when
Geo. Dearman. whose name appears
often in police court annals, was
found guilty Of violating the State
prohibition laws on one hundred and
sixty-six counts, and given the limit
Of the law in each case, $l00 or
thirty days, by Mayor J. B. Lee, in
police court this morning. His SEN
tences aggregate $l6,6OO, or 1880
days, little over fourteen years.
The case against Dearman grew
out Of g. raid made by Lieutenant No.
len and Privates Merrill and McAbee
Wednesday night, when the defend
ant IS home on Woford street was
searched and 166 pints of liquor were
seized. The liquor, it is said, was
found in a trunk The police made
out case against Dearman for every
pint of liquor they found in his home,
which they claim they had a right
to do under the city ordinance
against storing liquor.
When the case was called before
Mayor Lee this morning R. A. Han
non appeared for the defendant. The
attorney stated that he was ready
for trial and the testimony Of police
officers was heard. After all the evl-
dence was in, Mayor Lee found the
defendant guilty in 166 cases and
sentenced him to pay fine of SlOO
or serve 30 days in each case. Mr..
Harmon gave notice Of appeal and
asked that his client be released ON
bond, which was granted, bond being
sfe1d in the sum Of 5000. Bail was
arranged.
The case will probably be threshed
out in the supreme court. The po-
lice claim that if the ordinance under
which the cases were made out
against Dearman holds good In the
supreme court, the police department
Will be able to put stop to the sale
of liquor in Spartanburg.
The case is in many respects one
Of the most unique that has ever
been tried in a police court in the
State and certainly never before
has a police court judge ever
imposed a fine Of $4,000 Or Il
years for the infraction Of city
ordinance. The final disposition Of
the case will be watched with In
5erest.

PULLMAN co. OFFERS TO
CUT RATES 20 PER CENT
Complaint Had Been Made That
Prices for Upper 6erths Were
Too Hiqh.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Threatened
with an arbitrary reduction OF sleep
ing car rates through the action Of the
interstate commerce commission, the
Pullman Co. here today offered a vol
untary reduction averaging 20 per cent
seeking, 1t Is believed, to forestall a
still deeper cut.
The offer was made before Inter
state Commerce Commissioners Clark
and Lane, at a hearing now in porg-
ress as to whether the Pullman
charges are just. The Pullmans did
not offer a sweeping reduction, but
proposed to cut rates 20 per cent on
all upper berths on which the charge
is $1.50 or over.
The action of the sleeping car com
pany Is traced back TO a recent deci
sion OF the United States circuit court
here which denied an injunction to
prevent the interstate commerce com
mission ordering a cut in rates.
Today q. S. Pernahl for the Pull
mans. after making the offer of volun'
tary reductions, presented table of
prices to show that further action by
the commission would be unneces-
sary.
The commissioners continued with
the hearing this afternoon.
