iRR,cATlNo HUMID SECTIONS.

It Is now coming to be generally
realized that irrigation is not for arid
sections alone. In late years the rain
fall has been decreasing and many of
the humid states have suffered from
drouths. frequently great damage
hae been done by one dry spell. Crops
have been lost because there was no
rain at the most critical time. The
United States department of aSricul-
ture has been conducting experiments
for some time along this line. A por-
ton of q report made by DR.. Fortier,
of this department giving the result
OF some Investigations he made will
be Of interest. DR.. Fortier in this re-
port says:
So widespread an interest has OF
late been created regarding irrigation
that the department has been flooded
with requests for Information as to
the conditions and possibilities of diff
ferent districts. The series of bulletins
on irrigation prepared by this depart
ment In cooperation with western
state engineers land others has done
much to furnish the information de-
sired. OF this series, ten bulletins
have already been published and four
more are being prepared. When COM
plete, the irrigation conditions as re-
CARDS the climate, soil, water supply,
extent Of land, crops. etc, of each
state and territory in the west will be
accurately described.
The widespread drought of the past
summer throughout most of the humid
region has greatly increased the in
terest In the irrigation of gardens,
truck farms, and orchards, and the
demands on the one agent we have
been able to detail to this work have
been far greater than he could meet.
The advantage Of irrigation as an in
surance against the long dry spells
for some of the common crops has
been brought out in striking man
ner on several farms whDre expert
ments were conducted this summer.
AS q result of adding both moisture
and fertilizer to the soil on expert
mental plats in Iowa by irrigating
with sewage, the yield OF beets was in
creased one and one-haf times, that
of timothy was doubled, while the
yield of blue grass was ten times as
great as on the non-irrfgated plats.
At sNeenah. Wis, 1t was found that
irrigation prolonged the bearing sea-
son OF Strawberries ten days and in
creased the yield so per cent. On the
same field irrigated carrots yielded 50
per cent end irrigated onions $50 per
cent more than the non-irrigated crops.

THE TRADE AGREEMENT WITH
CANADA.

ut is to be hoped" says the Chicago
Record Herald, "that the reciprocal
trade arrangements with Canada will
be discussed in the broadcast pOssib BILE
spirit. President Taft says that his
purpose was not only to obtain an
agreement which would be mutually
advantageous to both countries, but
one which would be truly national in
it's scope, and we should set ourselves
at once against the mean and narrow
vailed in our tariff debates. No detail
can be ignored, but neither should any
detail be allowed to obscure the whole.
'The first test to apply, then, is un-
doubtedly that Of the probable benefit
or injury to the entire people. Are the
mutual advantages of Importance when
considered nationally? Will trade be
stimulated and will closer trade rela-
lions be encouraged? There Is already
an enormous business between the two
countries. There Is what we may call
natural business because of their
propinquity and the industrial develop
ments that are going on in both. OF
them. And the conditions suggest in
evitably the removal of barriers, the
largest use of opportunities that hold
out a splendid promise for the future
Furthermore, the controversies that
were excited by the Payne-Aldrich bill
and the effects of those controversies
are an excellent preparation for taking
up the question now in the proper
mood. The narrow way was found to
be exceedingly tortuous and not at all
satisfactory. The country has indi-
Gated that it does not believe that it is
good route to travel.
Certainly what Is wanted on this
side the border is not merely gain
for some particular industry or the
maintenance Of unnecessary protection
for some particular industry, but
change that may be said to be gen.
orally helpful and that may give a
fresh impetus to business without incl
dental sacrifices that suggest unfair
concessions"

Selecting Corn for sese.
lsm~ss-~ss-~xn-&s~

Prof. P c. Holden. Iowa State Cot lese, says that 1t is very important to grade seed corn before planting in the field. so that each grade of corn (when shelled) shall be adjusted sep arately for each size, thus securing accurate aRd uniform dropping Grad. ing cau be done by selecting ears ot a uniform size, and shelling the tips into ons pan. the butts Into another. and the centers Into third
 Now ss regerds corn breeding: + can be done by any farmer who will give the matter the necessary atten. tion. To begin with. select the breed Of corn which has the most desirable characteristics and is suited to the locality If a good type Is not at hand, if will be wise to purchase a few bushels of good ears. Select, say, q of the best ears, and plant the seed in & breeding plot" away from all other cornfelds Plant the corn from each ear in separate row, making 21 rows When tassels ap- pear. cut them of each alternate row Geaying tassels on the two outside rows. and then on every alternate in side row). The object of this detas- selling is to prevent inbreeding
 When the breeding plot corn is ripe, husk the product of each of the de- tasseled rows separately. says Purdue University Bulletin No. 105. You can now compare the products of the various ears and make your selection of single ears for the next years planting. Select from the rows, or lots, which gave the largest yields and the largest proportion of ears true to the desired type Both fac tors must be considered Accurate weights of the yields must be made, and these should be recorded. SeIec- ton should be made only from the detasseled rows, because they are the only rows which you are sure have not been inbred Select from at least two lots and use the ears from the better one for the mother plants. or the detasseled rows. next year. If four or six rows are good enough to select from, they should be used in order 10 prevent possible harm from too close breeding After you have made your selection for next years seed-plot. the remainder Of the good ears in the good lots should be sc lected as seed for the next years bulk crop A continuation of this method of breeding and selection Is bound to result in more and better corn from year to year
 All our corn intended for seed should be harvested before October 15, and hung in the attic or in some similar dry place
 Growing the crop: Thorough prep aration of the ground is essential. Plant the seed about two inches deep, four kernels to the hill. hills about three feet eight inches apart each way, rows all straight Cultivate once with light peg-tooth harrow before corn Is up; then cultivate, shallow, at ten-day intervals until time to lay by the crop. Keep the ground level at all times: do not "hill up" Tar the seed before planting Thin hills to two stalks. Replant any missing hills promptly
 Practices differ somewhat in differ ent parts of the country, but the fore. going hints are based on average con 1itioiis a2a methods.

THE DOLLAR AT THE DOOp

One day a silver dollar sought \ lodging in the town, The cheery ring of silver brought Intent to settle down. The fellow it was first to sight Was one, I'm sad to say. Who did not hasten to invite The coin in town to stay. This most unpatriotic man. Instead of being glad To aid the dollar in the plan To help the town it had The dollar sent afar to roam, In other regions then,- And never to his town or home That dollar came again.
 sss Another dollar also came. But met man more kind A fellow with diff'rent name. More patriotic mind. He asked it in, he bade it stay And help the town to grow. Ana never more 1t rOamed away Or cared afar to go. From house to house that dollar went And labored for the good Of ev'ry man to whom twas sent And all the neighborhood. It helped the farmers field to till To swing the woodsman's ax To build the church upon the hill And pay the village tax.
 s < s Next time dollar comes to town Let's greet it with cheer; Don't send it of OF turn it down But let it settle here For ev'ry dollar comes toroost In home or farm or store Is one more dollar come to boost The town little more!
