An essential of profitable farming little appreciated in the past by the general farmer is the development of strains of seed corn well adapted to local conditions. Heretofore the corn grower has not practised rigid selec- ton to find the variety best suited to his environment He has not appre- ciated that he could introduce into his locality grades of corn which have proved successful in other states and then aeelimate this corn to his local conditions thereby gaining greater yields
 It is a relatively simple matter where a standard variety is grown to select the best ears from the year $ crop, cure them properly. store them for the winter. and plant those show ing the highest germination test the following spring. What little extra time the farmer consumes in these operations is amply repaid by the larger net returns he realizes from his next crop. Field experiments com pairing the character of the crop re- sultlng rom the use of rigidly select ed pure-bred seed and that from seed corn as ordinarily handled on the farm prove conclusiyely the vast su- periority of the rigidly selected pure bred strains. Yields of 55 to 60 bush. els per acre resulted from use of the former grade, while returns averaging 56 bushels attended the use of the latter variety
 Begin by Selection.
 In the attempt to eliminate all poor cars the best plan in the case of cured corn Is to lay out all the ears In rows on the floor A best ear should be selected as an ideal so that In going over and sorting the corn the ears corresponding most closely to the ideal will be selected All others

San Antonio, Texas.-Francisco Perez, q personal friend of Madero. the Mexican revolutionary leader, in an interview here, said that secret agents of Madero, who has pro- claimed himself provisional president, brought information of the Japanese Mexican offensive and defensive al liance. And the treaty is all that is claimed for it." said MT. Perez. At the present time there are more than 30,000 Japanese in Mexico, and many of them are veterans of the Russian war. Japan is reaching out as is no other country, and they have their eyes on the Nicaraguan canal. During the administration of Jose Zelaya in Nicaragua, the construction of that route between the two oceans by Japan was under serious consid- eration, for all Central America re alizes what American domination means to them, and they would rather have Japan than the United States
 The belief that the move of the Washington government in concen- trating troops here is on account of the Japanese-Mexican treaty is stead lily growing here Men in the high est ranks of the foreign diplomatic service in Mexico say that treaty does exist, despite official denials. They insist that the treaty provides for an alliance between Japan and Mexico which is both offensive and defensive. and that in the event that Mexico should call on Japan for as sstanee in time of war the conquer ors of Russia would be compelled to supply both men and munitions of war. This. say army men. is the most serious menace to the United States government today, for although there is little doubt as to the ulti- mate outcome of such a war, the struggle would be long and expensive, both in men and money, and in view Of the small fleet owned by the United States, and the fact that the army would necessarily have to be recruited up to three or four times it's present size, such war would work no little hardship on this govern ment, and for this reason il is be- lieved by some that the United States government desires to see the revo- lutisn crushed before Mexico has a chance to call on Japan for aid
 President Diaz of Mexico has re- peatedly been declared to be in bad state of health, and it is realized here that his death would throw affairs in Mexico in chaotic con dition. and American intervention might become necessary.

ters. and growing them separately. The germination test discards all ex. cept the best ears and butts and tips ! Tn these tests in each case should be rejected. This seed is planted in an Isolated plot, the grain from each ear Deihg put into separate row. Throughout the growing season all poor stalks should be removed
 At harvest the best ears from each row are picked and cured for breeding seed for succeeding seasons. An ac- curate record is kept of the number of each row and the number of ears used from each row The remainde, of the corn from the seed plot Is placed in numbered sacks and used as seed for the main crop of the sub sequent year. The breeding seed fIrst chosen is subjected to rigid selection; the corn retained for the breeding ! plot for each succeeding year Is talk en from the best producing rows. Accurate records regarding selec. tion and careful management prac- tised in the breeding of seed corn are
 
 1 and butter fat production of dairy 1 COWS, to determine the wage-eaarners. Inferior management and selection of breeding corn decreases the efficiency Of the farmer. When one considers how easily the countryman can check mate this handicap by a simple sys. tenn of selection and discrimination, aP corn, one almost believes the relative simplicity of the problem is it's great est drawback. The farmer will not or can not comprehend that such an easy method in breeding corn will increase his yield to 40 to 50 per cent and will correspondingly improve tie quality of his product.
 No one can compel the farmer to in. stitute and practice methods of man. agement to which he is radically GU. posed. However, when the farm profits are so vitally concerned as they are In this problem of increasing the corn production in this countr, and when a correct solution of the difficulty has been placed under th> farmers nose, only obstinacy again. the adoption of advanced methods or inherent laxity and shiftlessness car be offered as excuses against the un; versal adoption of proper methods of selection, breeding. curing. storage. and general care of selected strains of seed corn.
 Yields of corn would be increased by millions of bushels annually il farmers would only take a little time to properly cure. test and keep up the standard of seed corn. Acreage pro ductions in excess of 70 bushels would be common where today 3O-busheI ro- suits are in the majority.

Chihuahua Faces Famine.

Fl Paso, Texas-Cut off from food supplies for the past month. 25,- coo inhabitants of the beleaguered city of Chihuahua face famine. In surrectos have surrounded the city, and attempts by the federal soldiers to dash outside to forage have failed. The insurrectos invariably drive back the foraging expeditions before they have preceded any distance from the city limits. Hundreds of women in Chihuahua. fearing starvation. have taken their children from town, and bands of them roam the country.

which do not correspond to the ideal in size, shape, color, uniformity of kernels and quality should be discard ed. Then a second sorting should be made to remove ears whose kernels do not intimately coincide with the ideal kernel
 In general the characteristics most desired in ears of seed corn are good size. regular rows of uniform kernels, well filled out at the butt and tip deep and closely fitting on a well shaped. moderatesized cob All ears having defects and undesirable feat ures should be rejected.
 Grow a Seed Plot.
 The selection of seed corn from the general field crop Is usually attended by poor success. A special seed plot is essential where field selection is practiced The advantages of this system are that there are better chances of fertilization; the plot is isolated from other corn fields pre- cluding crossings by undesirable strains; crossing may be controlled on the plot; the elimination of unde- sirable plants and the marking of ex- ceptional rows of plants is possible as well as the determination of yields of the crop from certain plants
 A quarter-acre or half-acre plot should be chosen and the soil put into the best condition. good plan is to select the finest ears and to plant one
  perior strains and to control pollena- ton. When the plants begin to tassel each row shouh be carefully inspect ed and every plant detasseled that in dicates barrenness or undesirable characteristics in order that they may not pollenate any desirable plants. If cross pollenation is sought. every oth- perfect pollenation
 To eliminate chances of injury from freezing the seed ears should be selected from this plot as soon as the crop is we'll matured. The ears to select are those that grow reason ably low on moderately strong shanks just long enough to allow the ear to bend over and hang down. The husks should not be excessively long. The stalks should be from six to seven and one-half feet tall. strong at the butt, tapering gradually to the top with perfect. strong brace roots, and broad healthy leaves free from dis. oased spots. The foliage should be of such a character as will elaborate an abundance of plant food and pro, duce good fodder.
 Grading the Seed.
 The next process consists in grad ms the seed for the planter. The ears should be butted and tipped be- cause the middle kernels produce

BARON YASUYA UCHIDA, Ambassador From Japan.

Washington, D. C.-"Japan has ney- CT made the slightest effort to ob- tain from Mexico any concession for a coaling station for naval use at Magdalena Bay or All Saints Bay, or, indeed. at any point cn the Pacific coast of MeXico.'
 This was the emphatic declaration of Baron Uchida, Japanese ambassa- dor to Washington, when his atten- tion was called to printed reports that through a secret treaty with Mexico Japan had either acquired or was about to acquire a coanng sta ton or naval base on this side of the Pacific.
 Alluding to a proposed new line of Japanese steamers to ply between Mexican ports and Peru, on the south, the ambassador stated that If this company had made any arrangements for coaling its vessels in Mexican territory such an arrangement was on a purely business basis, with which the Japanese government had noth- ing to do.

PHILLIPS BOOSTS
 COUNTY PAPERS
URGES FARMERS TO READ THE NEWSPAPERS.
He Says the Press of Arkansas 10 Doing Much to Spread Doctrine of
 Improved Farming Methods.

Little Rock.-Fred H. Phillips, commissioner of mines. manufactures and agriculture, with a view toward the agricultural and material better ment of Arkansas, has inaugu-ated a plan of preparing an article each week directed to the farmers of the state and bearing on important phases of agriculture.
 The first, which is an argument in favor of the farmer ayailing himself of the opportunity to take both county and daily newspapers, is as follows:
 The farmer should subscribe for and be a regular reader of his coun- ty newspaper and good daily news son for being in existence. They are here i'll response to demand and to meet a long-felt want.
 The business and professional men have long since recognized the value of the county and daily papers There is not a single reason why a merchant or professional man should read them, that does not ap- ply to the farmer with double force
 The farmer who reads his county and daily papers and one or more good agricultural journals is a live, progressive farmer, one who is do ing better and better each year; who is keeping abreast of the times.
 The rural free delivery system was established in order to gi.e the farm CT the news while it is news, to en- able him to have not only his county paper, but the daily paper as well.
 The farmer is necessarily a busi- ness man. If he is not. he should be. If he is not a business man he will soon cease to be anything. The bus mess man must know the latest news of the business world He must know the market news concerning his products. He must know the latest that affects his interests, and the business farmer Or merchant can get this only by taking his county paper for a full review of the local situation and by taking good daily paper to get general view of the condition of the markets to which much of his products will and must go. The newspapers of today devote much space to the dissemination of agricultural information and the re- suits of recent investigations and ex- periments along agricultural lines, which are far in advance of bulletins and publications
 In my opinion, the press of Ark. ansas is doing more to spread the doctrine of better agricultural con dition than is any other force in the state at the present time"
