100 Blu. Per Acre.
BY C. H. Danner, Mcpherson, Kansas,
In Mail and Breeze.

Mls HuAtOA AZ ASoSOA W.
not raise 100 bushels of corn per
acre is because we do not breed
and grade our corn as we should.
If two or three kernels to a hill
make a perfect stand then six
kernels or one kernel is not the
right number to plant. Without
good seed or seeded, or a uni
form stand, we need expect no
100-bushel corn.
When we bring seed corn from
a distance 10 times out of 20 it
disappoints us. No farmer can
afford to depend on imported seed
for the main part of his crop, es-
pecially seed from a different lat
itude for it seldom gives salts
factory results the first two or
three years. The chances are the
farmer has better seed corn in
his own crib. If it were simply
a matter of losing the price of a
bushel or so of imported seed that
would not be so serious but; l
bushel of seed ought to produce
400 bushels OF corn worth from
S130 to S160 and that is where
the seriousness becomes apparent.
If for any reason my own corn
were not satisfactory l would buy
seed in my own vicinity from
stock that had brought good re-
suits for several years past. l
would buy in the ear only so as
to know what l was getting.
After Smelling test the planter
so it will drop the right number
of kernels at least go times out
of every 100. 1t may be neces-
sary to have the plates of the
planter drilled or to get new
ones, the main thing is to stay
with it until you get satisfac-
tory results before planting.
The testing of the planter should
be done now or it will likely be
neglected if put off until plant
ing time. The planter cannot
be made to drop the right num-
Der of grains unless they are
somewhere near uniform in size
and that is one of the reasons
why butts and tips should be
Shelled off and not used. So far
as is possible no misshapen kerr
nelS should be planted for the
same reason.
In growing corn on our high
priced land we plant too many
acres but not enough bushels and
the unnecessary waste connected
with handling and feeding both
grain and fodder is something
enormous. was raised in Him
ois and farmed in Iowa three
years. ! have now farmed in
Kansas three years and find most
of the people use listers here. l

although l have not yet been able
to reach 100 bushels per acre in
Kansas l intend to stay with it

GIRL BOOTBLACkS IN GOTHAM
Captain of Team Prefers Her Work
 to Manicuring.

NEW YORK, Dec. IT. With women bootblacks in the new Penn sglyaHia station, women suffrage seems not so far away. We have wo- men lawyers, women doctors, wo- men dentists, women orators, and so women boCtblacks ought to con- vince men that woman can vote.
 At least this is the argument of Lottie Marshall, captain of the boot black team in the new terminal.
 Lottie likes to black boots. She can't fer the life of her see any hing undignified or unbecoming in the pursuit She can see that there is as much art to it as many a more aesthetic vocation, therefore she is one of the most painstaking, polite and pretty little bootblacks that ever locked a patent leather pump in the eyelets.
 Il don't mind bootblacking blt," she said, T don't think there is anything nicer. I cant help feel ing sorry for girls who work in restaurants and department stores, because my work seems so simple compared with theirs.
 T advise girls to give up mani curing fer change and try boot blacking."

THREE HATS. AVIATORS ARE TO ORGANIZE
Will Band Themselves Together In
 Relief Association.

As result of the aeroplane acci- dent at Denver which cost Ralph Johnstone's life, the forty profession ing relief association, which is likf the actors fund. The movement was started by Clifford B. Harmon. the wealthy amateur aviator. in con- junction with Charles F. Hamilton and other well known fliers.
 Most of the aviators earn good salaries or work for large guaran- tees. While they are actively at work their compensation is liberal, but their travelling expenses are heavy. They have to maintain ali extensive corps of mechanics and motor experts, and the frequent re- pairs and substitution of broke n parts of the aeroplane and motor are very costly. so that their net profits are small.
 It is the purpose of the new or ganization to provide fund for the relief of the families of those who are killed, as well as fund, out which those who are temporarily or permanently injured may receive regular benefits. The organization will not be benevolent or in any way charitable. It will be wholly coop erative. Each aviator will be taxed a reasonable percentage of the prize money he wins, which Is distinct from his regular earnings.-N. Y. American.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24. - Lew Powell, the California lightweight, will leave Monday for the Pacific coast. He has been promised a fight with "One Round" Hogan, who has been fighting such sensational battles out on the coast. Powell will also try to get some of the San Francisco managers to match him with Jack Goodman for a twenty round fight. The Californian is dis satisfied with the result of last nights fight with Goodman, some of the critics calling it draw, while others give Goodman credit for a victory. Powell is sure that over a distance route he can whip the New Yorker to a finish.
