Necessity for Testing Seed.

Good seed corn is the key to get
ting good stands OF corn. A good
stand of corn is necessary to secure
good yields. Owing to the wet fall
of 1911 there is now much doubtful

One cannot afford to plant corn any

Encouraging news is still being re-

The company is said TO have notified
the East Chicago co. that it would like

This is taken to mean that the COM

go ahead with the work right away
there would be no necessity for urging

that Contractor Joseph Doppler has

Of the Baldwin works to go ahead with

JUDGE REITER SAYS
STREET TO Be OPENED
Vital Decision to Calumet
Region Cities Is Made in
Court Today.

Judge Virgil S Reiter today decided
that the city of East Chicago had the
right to open One Hundred and Forty
first street to its fun width of eighty
feet and decided that damages of So
500 should be paid to the Interstate
Steel & Iron co. for the additional prop
ertv taken.
This is the second of the highway
openings that has been decided in the
interest Of East chicago. City Attorney
Abe Ottenheimer has ably represented
the city IN both of these matters.
Judg Reiter held in his decision that
the evidence showed that the re was a
forty-foot street on the north side OF
the section line which had been opened
by the East Chicago co. previous to
the sale of the property to the Inter
state Iron and Steel CO.
He held therefore. that the only dam
ages the Interstate could rightfully
claim was for the actual amount OF the
property taken.
This means that great east and
west artery win be opened between
Indiana Harbor. East Chicago and Ham
mond and that Indiana Harhor viii de-
rive some of the beneht of the building
