COUNTRIES UNREpRESENTED.

Portugal. for the first time. would have
no participation in the election of a new
popc Neither would England, nor
Scotland: while the question as to
,vI,ether the New World. with it's millions
upon millions of Roman Catholics IN
the United states. in Canada and IN the
central and southern portions OF the
Western Hemisphere would have any
voice in the choice Of the head Of their
Church would entirely depend upon the
condition Of health Of the venerable car
dinal Gibbons. and upon the question ss
IN whether he would be able TO reach
Rome from Baltimore in time 10 enter
the conclave.
II is fortunate under the circumstances
that there is no such thing as quorum
needed in conclave. For an election 10
prove valid. the successful candidate
must have q majority OF tWo-thirds OF
those voting but there are no laws stpu-
lating the number Of Cardinals who must
be present to constitute a conclaye. In
fact. there have been Popes elected by
very small conclaves, as, for instance
Nicholas III. who was elected by a con-
cIave consisting Of only seven Cardinals:
vbile i'm a number of other Instances
,bcro were not more than ten or fifteen
rrinces of the Church taking part III the
election.

with Portugal are not such as to tempt
him to oblige the respective governments
of these countries by bestowinG red mats

whereas at the time Of the death OF Leo
XIII the Holy Seat had established
friendly relations with most foreign
states even with Republican and anu

gagged in open conflict with number of
them.

TO HOLD ''SEED CORN MEETINGS.


partment of Agriculture Will Hold
Meetings in at Least Forty-Four
Counties Under Direction OF Mr..
Hudson.
During January and February the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstra-
tion Work, United States Department
of Agriculture, will hold at least cne
''seed corn" meeting in each of the
forty-four counties where the work is
being carried on. The day will be
spent at each place studying corn,
noting the bad and good characters
of the ears, such as soundness, vital
ity, cob, etc., and discussing the best
methods of corn growing. Farmers
will be asked to bring out their seed
corn for study and exhibition and for
comparison with their neighbors'.
The meetings will be conducted by
Corn experts of the National and
State Departments of Agriculture and
A. and M. College and leading farm
ers of the respective counties.
This work started two years ago
by Mr.. C. r. Hudson, State Agent,
has proven it's value in waking up the
minds of farmers concerning good
seed corn to plant. By methods ad-
.vocated in the movement, farmers are
finding out that we live in the section
of the country that should be the real
Corn Belt. The meetings will be
corn schools" without any fees or
dues attached. IL other counties
want such meetings the County Com
missioners or other authorities
should communicate with Mr.. G. r.
Hudson, Raleigh, N. G. ALI that will
be asked of them is that they fur
nish comfortable house for holding
the meeting in and furnish tables for
holding the corn.
