SEED CORN.
The Good and Growing Article
Is Going to Be Scarce.

The Mexico Commercial Club
will offer 800 in cash money to
Audrain county boys, from any
nook of the county, who raise the
best quality and quantity of corn
grown on an acre of ground tins
year. There will be about SIX
prizes, ranging from $25 to 50
each.
But good seed corn is scarce,
and it is going to be hard to get,
but it will be procured in some
way, and every grain of it will be
tested before it is sent out, to be
sure that it has the growing
qualities and is the best breed.
The next thing is how to get the
boys interested. Prof. c. b. Hut,
Crimson, assistant in Agronomy IN
the College of Agriculture at Col
umbia, has written r. f. Race OF
the Mexico Commercial Club re-
garding this matter as follows:
II would suggest that you Sc
cure a list of rural teachers from
your County Superintendent and
take up the matter with the teach
ers direct by mail and get them
to present the matter to their
pupils. You can also use the
newspapers to a good advantage
/" it is a good plan to run
coupons in the newspapers, which
a boy can clip, sign and mail to
you and enroll in this manner
The name, age and adj
dress of boys enrolled in this man
ner is sent to this office, where
they are officially enrolled and
placed on our mailing list to re-
ceive our circulars on corn grow
ing, which have been prepared
especially for this purpose.
w. w. Pollock, of the North
Mo. Trust Co. in Mexico, has
agreed to finance the purchase of
seed corn and will distribute the
same in gallon lots at the actual
cost of the corn to each boy who
enters the contest.

RULING ON POINT
IN RECENT GAME
Which Caused a Great Deal
of Discussion Among
the Players.

A play came up in a Central league
game in Springfield during the season
which caused a good deal Of discus
sion. \ batter hit the ball over the
fence for Il home run He logged
around the bases but failed to touch
second as he passed 1t. The oversight
was noticed by the side in the field
and the pitcher Immediately called for
a new bell, which who thrown out to
him by the umpire, thus putting 1t in
play. Meanwhile the batter had been
told that he had failed to. touch sec
ond and he had turned around and
was going back to remedy the over
sight when the pitcher threw the ball
down there before he could reach the
base. The question was whether he
was u or not.
He was not out. A batter who hits
the ball over the fence is entitled to a
home run, provided he goes through
with the formality of touching all the
bases and the home plate. No hasty
play a be made on him in a a s OF
this kind. OF course, If he had refus-
ed to so back and. touch second he
was going back to touch the bag 1t is
impossible to call him out by a hur-
ried throwing of a new ball. into play.
When the ball is hit over the fence it
is perfectly legal to put another ball
into play. which is done by the pitch
er holding It while standing in the
box. but this cannot be done until the
man who achieved the hit has had a
chance to do his part. No hasty ac-
ton can be taken. OF course. II the
ball had not gone YER the fence, but
had been in play all the time. the bat
ter would have been out for not touch
ing second If the play had not been
made on him. But when the ball goes
out of bounds the only way the batter
could be retired would be for him to
refuse to make the circuit, which he
did not do in this case, being perfect
ly willing to 60 back and touch Sec
ond when he found that he had miss
ed the bag.
