FLINT CORN BEST FOR
FEEDING
Experiment Station Vindicates Stand
ard New England Crop.

One of the most interesting features
of the late New England Corn Show
was the award of the $500 grand
prize offered by the Bowker Co., Of
Boston, to Perley E. Davis of CRANKY,
Mass, for the largest amount of food
nutrients in the shelled corn pro-
duced on one acre. Tho competition
was open to both flint and dent corn,
and fifty-nine acres were actually en-
tered in the contest, but the good old
fashioned yellow flint corn got away
with the money.
The award went to a crop of 127
bushels of yellow flint over 1873 bush
els of white dent, because when re-
duced to crib dry basis the flint
showed 4934 pounds of food nutrients,
while the dent registered but 4102
pounds. The difference In favor Of
the flint amounted to nearly 21 per
cent. Expressed in pounds of beef
obtainable from one acre, according
to approved feeding tables, the five
best acres of flint would average to
produce 1866, while corresponding fig
ures for the dent would be but 7S9.
On the latter basis the difference in
favor of flint was nearly "a per cent.
The best feature of the whole thing
Is the fact that the contest was car
ried out in manner that made a def
mite and valuable addition to the sum
of human knowledge. Moreover this
example bids fair to have profound
influence over prizes offered for agri-
cultural products in the future. Car
ried to logical conclusion these COM
petitions would be equivalent to the
analyses that form the basis--for the
scientific management of which SO
much Is being made.
The tests and awards were made by
number Fifty-nine farmers entered
the contest; twenty-seven stayed in
to the finish. Each acre was accur-
ately measured by outside parties,
and each crop was harvested and
weighed In the presence Of three wit
nesses, one being a representative of
the Company. Each contestant fur
nished, not simply a few ears, but a
representative fifty-pound sample of
ears, weighed at the time the crop
was harvested. These samples were
air dried. weighed again, shelled, and
the percentage of corn to cob de-
termined. Then the samples of
shelled corn were sent to the Massa-
chusetts Experiment Station, where
they were tested for moisture, and
from the chemists results the amount
of shelled corn containing IL per cent
Of moisture (standard for crib dry')
was figured. The leading samples
were then tested again for food nu-
trients, to ascertain the total amount
actually obtained from one acre. This
latter amount had never become a
matter of general knowledge before

so Per Cent of Privately Owned Tim
ber of County Is Dominated by a
Few individuals.


OF interest in Maine in particular
is the fact that the commissioner of
corporations reports that so per cent
of the privately owned timber of the
country is dominated by a few indi-
viduals. Two hundred persons and
corporations control our timber sup
ply and two great corporations own
IA per cent of 1t. These big proprie-
tors have gentlemanly relations
among one another which, as Presi-
dent Taft aptly declares, are very de-
trimental to the public interest, and
such as create the necessity of put
ting lumber on the free list Pre-
sumably, the tariff board will find as
the President finds, that the facts
justify free lumber. The Dingley
tariff puts logs on the free list, and
the Hale paper schedule. with a max
imum and minimum club attached,
forced Canada to put an export duty
on logs from Crown lands. That Taft
sees the serious blunder which he
committed in yielding TO Hale's de-
mand is obvious. There is no reason
why the Presidents plea for free lum-
Der should not be embodied in tariff
Legislation at the present session. 1t
is noted that the interests affiliated
with Hale own over so per cent of
the standing timber of Maine.

When twilight shadows cross the

When twittering birds to peaceful

Safe from all foes;
Then does the weary maid breathe
her soft prayer,
Then does she to her yielding couch

For sweet repose.
In Life's dim twilight when the stars
unfold,
When vain regret tortures our world

Wrapt in false pride;
We scan our earthly record on that

To know we could have left it grand

Had we but tried.
