The appointment of Ambrose s. Brewer as deputy sheriff at Dariep is characterized by the Norwalk Hour .-as a sop to that district, which has become disgruntled at the high sheriff to some extent It leaves Ridgefield without a deputy sheriff but. says the Hour, "the argument is put up that the Ridgefield district has County Commissioner Brqphy and that will suffice And the Hours conclusion is: ''The high sheriff is certainly play ing a desperate game of politics and some of his moves are highly interest ing to those on the inside.''

BEACH FLIES AT
 L0RDSHIP PARK
Not Wholly Successful, However,
 and Sees Where He Can Improve.

While half a hundred onlookers on the southern slope of Lordship Park cheered with enthusiasm. Stanley Y. Beach succeeded in flying yesterday afternoon with his monoplane. The flight was not what MT. Beach expect ed, but it demonstrated to his satis- faction that his device will prove a success, with further changes in the propelling mechanism.
 MT. Beach had installed a 40 h. D. engine. This sent the propeller re- volving at such speed that it pupped his wheel-mcunted aeroplane over the fields at high speed. Several times the device left the earth, racfing a foot or two in height, but the uneven surface of the ground left the rear of the monoplane on the ground while the front ascended. With a better field, Mfe Beach believes his machine would make successful flights as it stands But the trials of yesterday convinced him he needs still more powerful engine.

The pith of the argument against the plan of commission government for cit

The pith of the argument against the plan of commission government for cft- ies. is thus given by one writer:
 The cardinal weakness in the whole idea looking at it from the standpoint of Republican government. lies in the fact that it serves to take the respcn- abilities of government away from the people and put them in the hands of a very small number of individuals. Its aim is not to help the people to do for themselves but to enable them to have things done for them by men who are assumed to have superior qualifications for that work.
 The writer evidently had in mind that kind of commission plan which vests the appointment of the commis- sioners in the State authorities and which is supposed to be on the pro- sramme of the local Taxpayers League It is not the real. bona fide commission plan which provides for the election of commissioners by the people. and also for the recall of either or all of them by popular vote if they do not fulfil expectations.

CORN CLUB INFORMATION
How to Select Corn for Exhibition and How to
Mark Points in Accordance With Score
Card that Will be used

A good way to select an exhibit is
to place large number of good
shucked ears on table of convenient
height, with all tips pointing one way;
select an ear that comes very near to
the ideal ear of the variety, and, hold
ing it in one hand for constant COM
parison, discard with the other hand
all ears that are distinctly unlike the
model ear in size, shape and general
characters. Bring together the re-
naming ears and examine them close
ly as to points counted on the score
cards explained hereafter.
VARIETY STANDARDS.
Every variety of high-bred corn
properly recognized in the United
States has standard to which the
individual ears must conform. This
standard covers the following points:
shape, length, and circumference of
ear; condition, color, indentation and
shape of kernel; number, space and
arrangement of rows; filing out of
butts and tips; size Of shank; size and
color of cob; and per cent of grain to
ear. To illustrate: The Illinois stand
ard for Boone county white corn is as
follows: Ear shaped, cylindrical;
length, 10 inches; circumference, rs
inches; kernel condition, firm and up
right; color, pearl white; indentation,
rough; shape, medium wedge; number
of rows, 1922; space, medium; ar
rangement, in pairs; butt, moderate
ly rounded, compressed; tip, regular
rows Of kernels; size of shank, me-
dium; of cob, white; per cent Of
corn, SO.
The standard Of a given variety is
based upon the study of typical ears
by experienced corn men; and it seeks
to define accurately those traits which
are bred into the variety and which
enter into the merits of an ear of
corn. By this means, we eliminate
the possibility of judge placing un-
due emphasis on characters that
please or displease him personally:
and uniform standard is established
as guide to judges throughout a
section or state.
The Illinois Corn Growers Associa-
tion has adopted the following stand
ards as TO length and circumference
of ear and proportion of corn to cob
for the different varieties recognized
by the Association:

dents. Also, that this mixture has,
already been the means of saving
many pound of meat in the state.
With reasonably good care of the
animals, as to comfort, sound whole
some food and pure water, and the
regular use Of mixture such as that
above suggested, which is both a cor
rective to the bowels and a worm
medicine, hogs should be maintained
in fairly sound and healthy condi-
tion. And, considering our present
freedom, we need not have specific
cholera, unless we import it in pur-.
chases of animals, which either haye
it IN their systems, OR are otherwise
the carriers of the infection from
their original homes. To prevent it's
introduction, therefore, will require
eternal vigilance on the part of our
own people who purchase in other
states.

ties of the State Fair have adopted
for temporary use the score card of
the Illinois Association. When our

they will, no doubt, take up the mat

dose. Pleasant to take and always

on exhibition at the State Fair and
at parish fairs will, no doubt, have
no adopted standard. For instance,
we know of of no standard for Yellow
Creole. This corn, so far as we know,
is not grown in states where exhibits
are carefully scored and variety stand
ards are established. In judging such
varieties, a general standard is ordi-
narily used. But, in such cases aris-
ing in Louisisna at this time. arbitra-
ry standards will have to be adopted
by the scorer, until such time as some
proper authority may determine upon
the specific standard of the variety.
It is assumed that it will be fair to
formulate such temporary standards
from the opinions Of the growers of
each variety, taking an average of
opinions as to those points that con-
stitute the score card.
The stipulation Of rule regarding
q red cob and white grain, should not
deter any one from making an exhi-
bit of white corn that has a red cob
as q character of the strain. No
doubt means will be found that will
be equitable and just to provide for
the contingency, should there be close
competition on other points between a
red cob and a white cob strain.
THE SCORE CARD.
This is device adopted to aid in
placing a just estimate upon those
points or other characteristics which
determine the value Of an ear Of corn,
and to guide the scorer in arriving at
the relative merits of different varie-
ties. The score card is not intended
to be used with mathematical accura-
ICY, except where the points to be cut
are fixed by the rules for judging, as
explained below. In all other cases
the number of points to be given or
cut lies wife the scorer, and the score
is reliable in proportion to the accura-
cy and intelligence of the scorers
judgement. Corn judging by use of
the score card is comparative and
not an individual matter. and the
scorer should ende avor to place fair
value for each sample or exhibit upon
the several points constituting the
score card.
The late Orange Judd, editor Of
the Orange Judd Farmer, and leading
publisher of agricultural literature in
America, was the first to formulate a
score card for corn. The Illinois Corn
Growers Association was the first or
ganization that adopted corn score
card, and today all corn association
have score cards. Since Louisiana
has no such association, the authori-
