their often being called the scaven.

great deal of waste roughage and will

The offspring in carefully managed

SELECTION OF SEED CORN
TYPE OF ENTIRE PLANT FORMS
IMPORTANT FEATURE.
BY M. F. Miller, Professor Of Agron.
omy, College Of Agriculture,
University Of Missouri.

The experiment stations are com
ing more and more to realize the i'm
portance of strong terminating corn.
1t has formerly been thought that if
corn would terminate, this was all
that was necessary. but the strength
Of termination has been shown to be
an important determining factor in
corn yields. 1t Is, of course, true that

Is Of importance. Corn not thor.
oughly dry before freezing weather
Is sure to be more or less weakened
in termination. Two or three years
ago the low vitality OF most of the
seed corn in the northern half Of
the corn belt caused much uneasi-
ness among the growers. A wet fall,
in which it was impossible to gather
the corn early, followed by extreme
ly cold weather, was the cause. 1t
is not likely that much difficulty of
that kind will be encountered this
year.
Corn to grow strongly should be
picked as soon as ripe and safely
stored in a dry, airy place. This is
essential to strong termination. 1t
matters little how heavy the freezing
after the corn is once dry, but freez-
ing when 1t is still moist is very in
furious. On most seasons, it will,
therefore. pay the careful farmer to
pick his seed corn early before the
crop Is harvested, gathering it from
the standing stalk. Such method
has other advantages, too. besides
that Of ensuring strong germina-
ton. One IL then able to see the

the position of the ear on the stalk

ferment and form a solid layer which
will seal up the top and save just

Laudabls Ambition.

The right sort of ambition help
to keep many youth in the path
of rectitude. The boy who starts
in at the foot of the ladder hear
tily am bilious to stand at the
head of the industry or profess
sion with which he has allied HIM
self, is not likely to waste his
time in dissipation, nor to form
those habits which will render
his hopes futile. The youth who
is determined to get ahead knows
that he cannot afford to befuddle
his brain with liquor or to under
mine his constitution by the use
OF cigarettes, and he realizes, too,
that his reputation is too valuable
to be endangered by doubtful
companionships. The right kind
of am bition is the next thing to
the right kind of principle in
keeping one in the Safe path.

Organized Effort to Secure Needed

Several leading Colfax business
men have united in an effort to Sc
cure the passage of a law in Wash
ington to curtail the business of pro-
noting wildcat schemes. 1t is true
that thousands end thousands of dol
lars are taken out of Colfax and
vicinity every year that never return

men have been known to put their
money in mining stock of question

Kansas has a law governing the

men, who are acting in this move
ment to put a string on the gold

it necessary for the vender of securi-

VOTING PRECINCTS TO
BE DOUBLED IN COLFAX
WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MAKES A
CHANGE NECESSARY IN BOUN-
DIARIES.

The first pronounced effect of
women's suffrage in Colfax viii be
the reestabIishment of voting pre-
cinct boundaries and the doubling of
the number of voting precincts in the
city. The law says, each precinct
snall contain $50 electors or less,
based on the number of votes cast at
the last general election; but no pre-
cinct shall contain more than 800
electors" Since women have been
given the ballot the number of cleo
tors in every precinct in Colfax has
increased beyond the 800 mark. 1t
is now up to the city council to de-
eide on the new boundaries and for
the county commissioners to estab-
lish the precincts. The matter was
brought before the council Monday
night and it was decided that i'm
mediate action is necessary as the
new registration books will open the
first of the year and the precinct
boundaries should be established be-
fore that time. Doubling the num-
ber of precincts will double the ex-
pense of every election held in the
city as a complete set of election
officers is required for every precinct
and a change made in the printing of
the ballots for each precinct.
