MEETINe rHE IssuEs.

With characteristic straightforward
ness and honesty Of purpose, Governor
Glasscock IS planning early for the
work he hopes to have accomplished
at the next session Of the Legtsiatnre.
1t Is reported semi officially, that the
Governor will appoint four commits
sions to make Investigation and re.
port special bills to the Legislature,
such as meet the Governors approval,
on questions Of great interest to the
peopIe. The four matters to be CON
sldered are ~ sgeneral primary cleo
ton law, (2) county local option 90 q
production tax on gas. "a public
service corporation commission. With
such a programme mapped out in ad7
vance, every candidate for the Legis-
laelre win be required to commit him
self on these questions and the peo-
pie win have abetter idea how to vote.
The candidates won't be able to hide
behind the names Republican or DEM
ocrat on these issues, for they are all
non.partisan. The people will require
definite commitment and they will not
stand for quibbllng or evasion. The
Governor is on the right track in rails
ing these issues while the campaign
is young and the candidates who are.
wise VIII sound public opinion before,
committing themselves on these is
sues. There is not a shadow Of q
doubt that all four of these questions
will be up for consideration by the.
next Legislature and the people have,
a right to know before election how.
the candidates stand on them. Let
the issues be clearly defined and then
the people will7now how to vote.

Selecting Seed Wheat.

According to a Kansas circular,
the popular idea that large kernels
Of wheat terminate better than
small ones is a mistake. The ger
minating power is. rather. depend
ent on the density of the kernels.
The selection of dense kernels, in
the experiments reported, was made
by the use of wind-blast grader.
The kernels were blown into long
tin tube into boxes. The densest-
that is. those heaviest in proper
tion to their size-fell into the box
nearest the tube, and were graded
as No. l; those in the sixth box,
farthest away from the tube, were
graded No. 6. When planted, kerr
nels of No. l terminated an aver
age per cent Of 1919, while those
of No. terminated an average of
only 1896. Between these ex-
tremes, the descent in terminating
power of the kernels in the other
boxes was remarkably regular, &C.
cording to distance from the tube.
| Here is another hint for the OBJ
servant wheat-grower. bent on in
creasing the product Of his land
per acre. What he wants is a
wheat with kernels not only large
and plump, but also dense. The
large kernels when separated from
the small ones by use of a tanning
mill, will very likely count a large
proportion which are equally dense
with the smaller ones. If these
kernels, possessing both size and
density, shall be separated from
those which are large but light, it
would seem that they will meet
every requirement for the most per-
feet seed, in any variety of wheat.
Minnesota Experiment Station Bull
leti1 No. III gives full directions
for the separation Of the plump,
dense kernels Of wheat from the
other less desirable kernels, simply
by running the grain through a
common tanning mill at the rate of
from 20 to 40 bushels per hour.
This bulletin will be sent free on
request.

Milwaukee Preparations.

The Hutchinson Leader comments
as follows on the recent statement of
Vice President McKenna of the
Milwaukee road that the company
had no Immediate plans to build
the Hutchinson Winnipeg line:
There are indications that some-
thing is pending, else why is the
bridge at Hutchinson being rebuilt
when only a short time ago it was
thoroughly repaired? Because it
is too light for the mogul engines
now in use, none of which they ever
dared to run to Hutchinson on &C.
count of the light construction of
the old bridge. And why is the
road being thoroughly ballasted and
put in as good shape as the main
line? Because-it appears to the
laity-it is expected to carry heavy
rolling stock in the near future.

Scott S Rhyme Of
Merry Christmas

Heap on more wood! The wind IS
chill.
But. let it whistle as it will,
Well keep our Christmas merry still.
Each age has deemed the newborn
The fttest time for restal cheer.
And we'll our Christian sires of old
Loved when the year it's course had
rolled
And brought blithe Christmas back
again
With all his hospitable train.
Domestic and religious rite
Gave honor to the holy night.
On Christmas eve the bells were rung;
On Christmas eve the mass was sung:
That only night in all the year
Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear.
The damsel donned her kirtie sheen:
The hall was dressed with holly green
Forth to the wood did merry men go
TO gather in the mistletoe.
Then opened wide the baron's hall
To vassal. tenant. serf and all;
