Taft has by proclamation reduced the

in Arizona. We presume this is for
the purpose of letting some coal or
mineral syndicate get grab at the

SEED CORN. .

That the corn crop Of Minnesota to-
day promises not only larger aggre-,
gate yield, but larger return per acre
than ever before, is fairly due-at least
in large measures the strenuous
effort put forth last year, by the Ex-
tension Division of our College Of
Agriculture. to induce q careful selec.
ton of seed by the farmers, followed
by careful drying and storage. "A
sufficient number of farmers would APP
pear to have followed these methods to
exercise marked influence on the size
Of the crop. Their success AFFORDS the
best demonstration possible of the su-
perlority OF the new over the old hap
hazard methods =
It is with renewed confidence, there
tore, that the Extension Division
again urges the immediate adoption,
by everv farmer, of the plans hereto
fore recommended for the selection and
care Of seed-ears. Let everyone take
note; as he passes through his corn
field, of the stalks showing the most
vigorous, stccky growth, and bearing
the plumpest, best developed mot the
tiggest) ears, and showing the earliest
maturity. The latter point is desirable ;
for every days gain in the time of
maturity, in a variety otherwise al
ready reasonably successful, is 50 much
additional insurance against a pos
sible loss by an early frost.
Those farmers, who this spring
planted a seed-plot for the ''ear.to
row. test, are on the right track for
winning still further advantages in
the effort to raise the standard Of pro-
duction per acre, in Minnesota, to the
l:vel reached in other states. Presidency
in this plan is certain to bring large
rewards.
Some foolish alarmist have put forth
the claim that all this endeavor to
raise the standard of production by
selection of seed Will be futile because,
they say it is law of ''reversion to
type,' as they claim, will operate to
counteract, eventually, the gains now
being made. The claim is absurd.
There can be no breeding unless
the corn Of each stalk is fertilized year
after year by pollen from stalks OF the
same Immediate progeny. In field,
it is as likely to be fertilized by pollen
from plants several yards away as in
any other manner. Instead of in.
breeding, therefore. that healthiest
kind of breeding occurs, which comes
! from the union of the offspring of
different families Of the same vigorous
race.-C. K. Barns, Elk. Div, MINI.

The progressive republican banquet
I'M Minneapolis Thursday evening last
week was an eye-Opener for those in
ciined to be. little the strength of the
movement. It is not only strong but
growing stronger every day. No better
evidence is possible than to see out.
worn cogs of the old machine and
slime servers rush to the new move
nent and climb hastily into the band
wagon. The sincere and honest men,
however, are still In charge of tho
movement, and the fact that certain
Dlks are joining for revenue .)r for re-
nahMitation, doesn't make any diff
Esrenee. All progressive and reform
movements have this experience. It Is
apparent that the masses are pro-
toundly stirred, and it there ever was a
time when it is wise for man who
desires TO lead, to be bold, now is the
accepted time. Dodgers are able to
ride the current for time, but events
now move too swiftly, the people are
TOO much aroused, and dodgers are not
going to survive. Ii the majority OF
chose at the banquet stick to their pres
ant determination and indications are
that they will, there will he mighty
contest in the republican ranks in this
state next year. The question will be
asked of every candidate for republican
nomination: Are you fol- Taft or for
LaFollette? The answer will show
eonclusively where that republican is
and what he believes. There may be
nrog1essives who do not like La
toilette. as there are conservatives
who may not like Taft. The progress
siyes are wise in concentrating their
strength on one man, and that man
LaF1ilette, for no man in their ranks
70 well represents the principles at
stake, To divide in this case is for
she progressives to be conquered.
