as sOoh as the antners open the pollen
falls down the tube and comes in con-
tact with the silks. To protect against
any foreign pollen which may be pres
ent on the tassel or ear when bagged
the tubes should be put in place four or
five days before the silks are expected
to appear. The greatest difficulty In
applying the tubes is to allow for the
elongation Of the stalk above the ear
Unless guarded against this elongation
will break the stalk at the base Of the
tassel and then push through the pa
Der, making an opening where foreign
pollen can enter. To prevent this
breaking of the tube two extra folds
are taken where the paper is cemented
making a strip an inch or so wide
composed OF four thiclnesses of paper
In adjusting the tubes this strip is
placed on the upper side, causing the
tube to form an even curve instead Of
bending sharply at one point.
Since the tubes remain in place until
all dagger from foreign pollen is past
provision must be made for the in
creasing size of the ear, This can be
done oy using a coiled instead Of a
straight wire to fasten the tube to the
ear. - Circular United States Depart

CHANGE OF DATES
FOR THE TRI-STATE

Within the next few days announce
ment will be made by Charles Car
penter the head OF the Tri-State
League, that ON account Of the trans
fer OF the Reading franchise to Allen
town, a number of changes will be
made IN the Tri-State schedule, and
that due to certain conditions, which
have arisen since the schedule was
made public, there may be a switch
ing OF their dates.
Harrisburg and Lancaster will be
affected mostly by the Allentown
change because a number Of one-day
jumps have been scheduled. These
jumps will be too expensive. Lancas-
ter. who is paired with Allentown. will
be unable to make the usual jumps on
holidays and there Will be a toss up
between these teams as to what dates
each Will get In the opinion Of Presi-
dent Carpenter these chances cannot

agree. and he viii make known their
decision as soon as all representatives
have been heard from.
Lancaster may get the July 4 games
and the Decoration Day games 20 to
Allentown, but the agreement on this
question depends on several other
changes which will be made because
OF special conventions and other meet
ings TO be held in both Lancaster and
| Allentown. In all there will be be-
tween l6 and "a changes to the sched-
ule. Harrisburg may switch with

Method Of Artificial Polllnatlon Rseom-

In the breeding Of corn. II accurate
records regarding parentage arc to be
kept, ell polllnatlons must be done by
hand. In the methods Of study now
popular many pollinatlons are self pol
llnations-that is, 1t Is necessary to
place the pollen of plant on the silks
Of the same plant and protect the silks
from all other pollen. By the meth
ods usually employed 1t is impossible
to be certain that all foreign pollen is
excluded.
The usual method Of making self
polllnatlons is to inclose the tassels
and young ears n strong paper bags.
When pollen has accumulated in the
Gag surrounding the tassel and the
silks have emerged from the young
ear the bag containing the pollen Is
removed. The ear Is then uncovered,
the pollen busted over the silks and
the bag replaced on the ear. During
the operation the silks are necessarily
exposed for q short time to any pollen
that may be floating In the air. A
number Of refnements have been de-
vlsed by different operators to reduce
the chances Of the silks receiving for.
'eign pollen. The most effective is that
proposed by Roberts. In his expert
mental field the tassels are all bagged
before they begin shedding pollen.
There Is thus no pollen free in the air
OF the field. except the small quantity
that escapes while making the hand
pollinatIons The quantity of free pol
len is further reduced by an Ingenious
method of applying the pollen by
