The meeting of the republican
state central committee in Bis
marck last week was harmonious
throughout the entire session. The
republicans will now work for the
party, factionalism will be for
gotten and the entire republican
ticket will no doubt be elected this
fall.

Can Live in Submarines.

Washington, Nov. l4.-As a meas
ure of protection for human life in
cases of accident in submarine boats
of the United States navy, the Navy
Department has decided to designate
a board to investigate this subject, II
is believed that the equipment of sub
marine boats with oxygen helmets and
the installation of apparatus capable
of generating that life sustaining fluid
on board such vessels would result
in the saving of many lives,
Tests made on the submarine boat
Octopus demonstrated that fourteen
men could remain confined an entire
day without fresh air. By purifying
the air with chemicals, such as per-
oxide of sodium and potassium, it is
believed that life might be prolonged
for perhaps a week.
II will be the duty of the board to
enlist the aid of the medical branches
of the government service in forming
its recommendations. The Navy De-
partment is particularly anxious to
take preventive measures against

IMMENSE YIELD OF CORN.
The Crop is 40 Million Bushels
More Than Expected a
Month Ago.

The corn crop of the United States
this year is 8. 121 million bushels, LAC
million bushels more than expected a

than the yield OF 1909, and 1874 million
bushels more than the largest previ-
Gus crop, that of 1906, according to

Washington.
OF the great increase over last

grower can make

the best investment that the corn
grower can make
Seed corn should be gathered early
in the fall after it is thoroughly ma
tured but before heavyfreezes occur.
If dried out well freezing weather
does no perceptible injury to seed
corn but where not thoroughly dried
considerable injury is done by freez-
ing. Last spring the Experiment
Station secured samples of corn from
farmers near Columbia that had been
early and samples of the same corn
that had been allowed to stand on the
stalks until the latter part oflJanuary,
These samples were tested for germ
nation in the Seed Testing Laboratory.
The corn gathered early terminated
ninety-five per cent while that which
stood on the field until Januarygerm-
mated only sixty:five per cent.
One of the best methods Of gather
ing seed corn is to go through the
field with sack and get the best ears
from the beststalks. Selectearsabout
nine and one-half inches around, with
straight rows of deep and uniform
kernels, and well filled butts and tips.
Get these ears from good strong
healthy stalks that stand up well and
preferably from hills with two or
three stalks.
Another method commonly used is
to have a box on the wagon bed into
which the good ears can be thrown
while gathering the corn. The chief
objection to this method is that man
is usually thinking more about get
ting the wagon box filled and the
corn into the crib than of selecting
seed corn and so many of the best
ears are overlooked.
The object of both methods is to
get the best ears and to get them
early in the fall. After the corn is
gathered it should be handled in such
a manner as to dry out thoroughly
before freezing weather. This can
be easily done by making racks in
which the ears may be placed and
swung up in the granary or barn
where mice will not get to it. If the
corn is stored in barrels or piled up it
will not dry out nearly so we'll as if
stored in racks and when freezing
weather comes on it will be injured.
Another convenient way Of storing
corn is to take a board say ten by
twenty inches and drive twelve
penny casing nails through it from
both sides three inches apart each
way and stick the ears on these nails.
Any kind of boards of any size will
do. A board Of this size is conven-
lent and will hold eighty-four ears
enough to make a bushel of good
seed corn. Bore hole in the top of
this board and suspend with a wire.
The principle to be remembered in
caring for seed corn is to gather it
early and dry it out well before freez-
ing weather. If every Missouri
farmer would handle his seed corn in
this way, the yield of corn in this
state would be increased at least ten
per cent. The average yield of corn
per acre in Missouri for the last ten
years has been % bushels. This in
crease applied to the 100000 acres
grown every year would mean 49,
800, 900 bushels, which is worth
