In selecting seed corn for planting in
the northern portion of the corn belt,
where the season from planting to
frost is barely more than a hundred
days, q fellow will do well to steer shy
of ears having too deep a kernel. as
this type of corn, while handsome to
look at and all right when planted in
it's proper cline, is almost sure to be
late in maturing, to get caught with
the frost and sour on the cob, making
it impossible to properly cure and

In a recent address before North
Dakota stock and grain growers asso-
citation q well known writer on agricul-
tural subjects brought the charge
against the manure spreader that its
use means the distribution of large
quantities Of weed seeds in the raw
and unfermented manures which it
handles. There may be something in
this on a farm that is badly fouled
with weeds, but the way to remedy
the evil is not by dispensing with the
use Of the manure spreader, but by
getting rid Of the weeds, and to ac-
complish this a clean cultivation OF
titled crops and a sensible system of
crop rotation are the only methods
that need be adopted.

Getty Beautiful Requirements.
To the Editor Of The Star:


Apropos Of the impending cleaning

siasm with which some of our most
worthy people annually become possessed
in their efforts to make Washington

to few facts and conditions which
seemingly are Of much greater and more
vital Importance to the health, comfort

First The soft coal smoke nuisance
and the absolute nOn-enforcement ana
disregard of the law governing TINS mat

ment houses, big business as well as some
of the government buildings and some
smaller private establishments The dense
volumes of foul, black smoke which pour
forth from the smokestacks and chlmneys
of the many and constantly increasing
soft coal consumers and the consequent
pollution and poisoning of the atm0s-
phere-the very air we Dreathe-the
bliehting of flowers, foliage and vegeta-
ton and the ill effects on health and COM
forts of housekeeping make this nuisance
of SCOT and smoke far greater blot or
stain on Washington than the uncomped
and belittered streets and alleyWays. Let
residents familiar with the atmospheric
