to the farmer.
One ear or corn Of average size has
about 500 grains, each of which should
produce stalk bearing an ear. This
would mean 500 ears, or about eight
bushels, which at 80 cents a bushel
would sell IvI "a, not counting the la
Dor of caring for the crop, that is what
each ear of seed corn is worth. 1t re-
luires just as much labor to plant a
poor ear of corn as 1t does to plant a
good ear, and the poor one does not
give anything in return for the time
and work.

A Fhiladelphian on his way to Eu
rope was experiencing seasickness for
the first time. Calling his wife to his
bedside, he said, in a weak voice:
Jenny, my will is in the Commercial
Trust company's care. Everything is
left I'd you, dear My various stocks

In some cases the pea vines are
hauled away from the factory by the

cases they are sold IN fresh state;
and in still other cases the factories
either silo the vines. or cure them for

Party Proud Of It's congressman

o. Congressman Underwood has reas
on to feel proud OF his party's con
sressional work. and the party feels
proud OF its congressman. There has
been so much OF honesty and SINGER
ity of purpose in these House efforts
that the session has been a revelation
to the country. for no one had believed
that so much OF real advancement
could be achieved in so short a time
Not in ten years before have so many
measures OF popular demand been put
through the House OF Repres entatives.
So difficult has ii been in former years
10 get one such measure out OF com.
niittee and through the season OF de-
bate that ali ideas OF speed and COM
pleteness have long ago been disas-
ISOLATED from any consideration OF
House procedure. We had come to
look upon the House of Representa-
tiyes as the place where River and
Harbor pork barrel is frequently roll
ed out, and where departmental ap-
preparation bills are annually passed.
Now and then the House had formed
the stage for a fight against the adop-
ton OF some bill prepared in the pub
lie interest and proposed by some un-
initiated Republican committee chair
man. To have reversed that order OF
things at a single session and TO have
compelled the House to be really rep
resentative OF the people is no slight
achievement. That its members are
now widely commended and congrat-
ulated is, therefore no surprise.

if in doing so il utterly misconstrues
the Herald's criticism Of very am
biguous article on that subject. The
World has the power 10 aid the adop-
ton OF the new plan. by assisting in
the explanation OF its provisions and
advantages, and proper explanation
Of its features is all that is reuired TO
insure IT'S adoption by large major
ity.
Our esteemed contemporary misun-
derstands our criticism totally when
il believes that il was inspired by any
other motive than TO bring from the
World decisive statement of the at
titude OF that paper on this important
question. Its success fully justifies
the means adopted.
