worked for the entire ticket and
not for any particular candidate

man, Bate Drummond, and the
secretary, Henry Chiles, had the
county well organized so that
almost the full Democratic vote
came out to vote. Moreover, the
committee attended to its fman-

cheeriully, which helped some.
Consequently the Democrats were
able to elect their entire county

Select Your Seed Corn Now.

Every Missouri farmer should
gather his seed corn this fall in
the field instead of waiting until
spring and taking it from the
crib just before planting time. A
day or two spent now in get
ting seed for next year will be
the best investment that the
corn grower can make.
Seed corn should be gathered
early in the fall after it is thor
oughly mature but before heavy
freezes occur. If dried out well
freezing weather does no per-
ceptible injury to seed corn but
where not thoroughly dried
considerable injury is done by
freezing. Last spring the Ex-

Columbia that had been gather
ed early and samples of the
same corn that had been allowed
to stand on the stalks until the
latter part of January. These
samples were tested for germina-
ton in the Seed Testing Labor
atory. The corr gathered early
terminated ninety-fiye per cent
while that which stood on the.
field until January germinated-on
~ sixty-five per cent.
One Of the best methods Of
gathering seed corn is to go
through the field with. a sack
and get the best ears from the
best stalks. Select ears about
nine and one-half to ten and
one-half inches long, seven to
seven 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 we'll and pre-
.ferably from hills with two or
three stalks.
Another method commonly us
ed 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 a man is usually
thinking more about getting 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 freez-
ing 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
il. If the corn is stored in bar
rels or piled up it will not dry
out nearly so well as il stored
in racks and when freezing weat >

Another convenient way Of stor-
ing corn is to take a board say
ten by twenty inches and drive
twelve penny casing nails through
il from both sides three inches
apart each way and stick the

Roosevelt Repudiated.

A'tN > NiuHhdtit ttptlUr-
ton Of the ticket nominated at
Saratoga Under the d~ictation OF
Colonel Roosevelt is due to the
revolt within the Republican par
ty rather than to an accession OF
Democratic voting strength.
This revolt was not emotional or
mpulsive. 1t was participated
IN by men Of serious thought
and civic responsibility and was
intended as a protest, vigorous
and indisputable, against the
methods by which the prophet Of
the new nationalism" sought
to dominate the party in the
leading state of the Union.
The result in New York is al
most without precedent, although
it is reminiscent of 1884 when
factional disruption similar con-
dltions that were intolerable to
sound Republicans. This year
Theodore Roosevelt was the para
mount issue in New York politics,
and it was the knell of Roose-
yeltBm and all that it stands for
that was sounded in the returns
OF last night. Stimson was a
mere figurehead placed in nom
nation by Roosevelt and repre-
sentative Of my policies. The
candidate for governor on the
Republican ticket was over
shadowed and all but OBJ
scured by the personality of
Roosevelt.
Practically the last words of
Colonel Roosevelt before the bal
loting uttered with characteristic
egotism was the boaStful assertion
that he had the opposition
beaten to a FRAGILE" The re-
turns show that as a political
leader and boss in his own state
Roosevelt is an utter and a
complete failure. He did
not succeed in making a credita-
bic showing in his own state-a
state normally Republican-and
he even lost his own voting pre-
cinct.
The attention Of the entire
country was absorbed in the
New York campaign. The result
Is trought with lar deeper sig
nifica9ec than mere victory for
state candidates. Upon this cam
paign hung the destiny of Colonel
Roosevelt. Had he won he
would have been powerfully slim
ulated in his campaign for the
presidency. As it is he is re-
pudiated and d-ispossessed of

ity exhibited to the world. lie
