BREEDING OF SEED
CORN A NECESSITY

The breeding Of seed is newer to
our farmers than the breeding of
animals. says the Breeders Gazette.
For many years seed selection has
been practiced, which is a form of
breeding by selection, but the
work of modifying characters Of
grains by artificial fertilization and
thus building up improved varie-
ties, is a part Of modern rather
than ancient history,
Among the factors of grain grow
Ing, it is probable that the selec-
ton of seed has received less in
telIgent attention from American
farmers than any other Methods of
seedbed preparation and cultivation
and harvesting have had close study,
but the fundamental factor in large
yield has not received that share of
attention to which 1t lis entitled.
In recent years skllful men have
been studying seed breeding, and
have achieved astonishing re-
suits. We now have not a few
varieties OF grain which we rightly
called pedigreed, just as we refer
thus to animals which have been sci
entifically bred, along the lines of
known and recorded ancestry,
Farmers are learning the value
Mexico weekly ledger. (Mexico, Mo.) 1855-1956, 1910-12-01

Of using seed thus bred. The price
has been considerably above the
farmgrown seed supplied from bin
and crib, but experience has prov
ed M profitable investment. AT
our fairs for some years impressive
exhibits of seed breeders have been
made, and visitors have been deeply
interested. They have been invest.
ors, also. Usually they began eau
tiously, with the view of testing it
out. They wanted to be sure that
they would get their moneys worth.
Evidently some very satisfactory ex-
perience has been encountered. AT
the Illinois State Fair of 1909 one OF
these pedigree seed concerns found
that its average sales to farmers
during the fair was z bushels OF
seed.
This was mot a heavy investment,
and Indicates the caution with which
farmers went into this attempt to
increase yield and produce better va
rdeties of grain. At the fair recent
ly closed the order books of the
same company showed that it's sales
had averaged 10 bushels to the pur-
chaser. The record carries Hs own
comment. Blood will tell. in ami
mails or grains.

cATARRH SUFFERERS
Good Thing to Know.

If you now own Hyomei hard rub
Der inhaler Otis Purdy wants you to
know that he will sell you bottle of
HYOMEI for only so cents.
Remember this, all who suffer with
catarrh--a bottle of HYOMEI (pro
nounce it High-o-me) is put up in a
separate package and sold for SOC
to accommodate the vast army of pee
pie who already own Hyomei I'M
haler,
Otis Purdy will sell it to you at
that price and give YOU the cpportun
lty to begin at once to rid yourself o.
vile catarrh and the snufflng, hawk
ing and splitting that go with 1t.
Many people through years of neg
lect have let catarrh get strong
hold upon them. Some of OF these
people unreasonably think that one
bottle Of HYoMEI ought to cure
them.
No matter how chronic your catarr
troubles, HYoMEI is guaranteed By
Otis Puady to cure them If you give
it half chance. Just breathe It
that's all, and It's healing, soothing
antiseptic properties win make yol
feel better In day.
If you own an inhaler get a 50-cen
bottle OF HYoMEI at Otis Purdy's to
day. If you do not own a Hyomel In
haler, ask for q $1Oo outfit, whicl
| includes inhaler.

Suit for $4,000 has been brought
in the Audrain County Circuit Court
by the three motherless children
OF Curtis Gentry, the hero trackmar
OF the Wabash who lost his life in
saving a passenger train Nov. 80, '09
from terrible wreck two miles east
Of Centralia.
Gentry, with a number Of other
traclomen. was at work repairing a
strip of track two miles east Of
Centralia. 1t was a very foggy day
and the trains were all late. Gentry
was at work on jack that raised
the track about a foot when he
heard the noise OF the approaching
train only short distance away in
the fog.
Knowing that should it strike the
track while the jack had II I'm the
air, the train would be thrown into
the ditch, he began to frantically
lower the jack. Even when the
train loomed through the fog a few
feet distant he did not hesitate. but
continued his work.
When the engine struck the
brave man, he had just lowered the
final notch in The jack. He is sur
viyed by three motherless children
Viola, Nadine and Osborne, all
minors. AT the time of his death
