Selecting Seed Corn.

What is the best way to select
seed corn? The best way is to plant
a seed patch off by itself every year
from the choicest seed you have,
and eliminate the barren stalks by
never allowing one in the seed patch
to ripen a tassel. Their select your
seed from the most prolific plants,
of a good habit and bearing the
ears convenient, or halfway be-
tween tassell and ground. Year after
year you can make some improve
ment in the stature of the plant and
the ears by this careful selection.
But the best you can do now is to
go into the field and select the best
ears you can find from the best
plants, and keep some of that to
start a seed patch with next spring,
and then from that seed patch take
out while green the tassels of every
barren stalk and every other stalk
that does not come somewhere near
what your ideal of a corn plant is.
Then the pollen will be furnished
only by the best plants in the patch
and you can select seed in this way
every year and find a gradual i'm
.provement annually. But do not
wait now till the corn is in the crib,
but select the best you can find in
the field and cure it well and store
ii by itself.-Progressive Farmer.

Seed Corn Suggestions.

The increased yield of shelled
corn per acre is the purpose of field
selection.
Seed should not be selected from
a stalk near barren stalks. There
would be strong chance that the
bsrren stalk was one of its parents
and that it would tend to produce
other barren stalks.
Moderately good ears from a
thick stand are better seed than very
fine looking ears from thin stand,
where they have had an extra sup
ply of sunshine, moisture and plant
foods.
Seed corn from highly manured
soil has been found little lower IN
yield than seed from soil which had
not been fertilized for sixteen years.
Seed selection from land planted
five stalks per hill produced more
corn than seed selected from land
planted either one or three stalks
per hill. 1t wasn't such fine looking
seed, but it produced the yields.
Moderately long ears produced
higher yields than short ears TWEEN
ty-one times out of twenty-five in
five years. tests.
The lower yielding SHIRT ears in
variably Eexceeded the longer ones
in circumference. Greater circum.
ference, then does not mean greater
yielding power.
The heavier ears usually give
higher yields. This weight should
accompany reasonable length, cir
cumference and shelling percentage.
Immaturity must throw it out, how
ever.
Creased, dented ears produced a
little more than rough dented ears.
Ears selected from the plant aver
aged over three bushels per acre
more than wagon shelled seed from
the same field. The wagon shelled
ears were shorter in size and gener-
al appearance, but the mother plant
and it's surroundings were not
definitely known.-Home and Farm.

A young lady and her fance
were waiting for a street car. Af-
ter several cars had passed that they
were unable to get aboard, the
young man became impatient. He
waved franticaliy at the next car as
it hove in sight, then leaped upon
the platform and said in pleading
voice: Come on, Helen; we can
manage to squeeze in here, can't
we?'
She blushed family, but sweetly
replied: Il suppose we can, dear,
but don't you think, we'd better
wait until we get home?"-L1dies'

The Bounty Of Nature.

October estimates of leading crops
of the country in 1912 suggest that
Nature has been about as little con-
cerned over the political campaign az
the material interests of the coun-
try. The estimates are:
Corn s,Ole, 100000 bushels
Wheat 72o, 1000 bushels
Oats l,417,l79,00O bushels
Barley 224, 4,sls, 900 bushels
Buckwheat 100000 bushels
Irish potatoes 40l, 100000 bushels
Flax 29,000,00O bushels
Rice 100000 bushels
Tobacco s74,OoO,ooo pounds
Hay 72,425, 900 tons
These estimates show an increase
over 1911 production of 4s5, 100000
bushels of corn, es,s95,ooo bushels
of wheat, 494, $4,000 bushels of
oats, 64,S79,OOO bushels of barley,
100000, 900 bushels of Irish pota-
toes, 100000 bushels of flax,
100000 bushels of rice, $4,000, 900
pounds of tobacco and l2,509,oo0
tons of hay. The average in 1912
in corn, buckwheat, potatoes, tobac-.
co, flax and rice was greater than
that of 1911; the production per
acre was greater for each of these
crops except tobacco, and for corn,
buckwheat, Irish potatoes and rice
the acre production was greater
than the average for the fve-year
period, 1906. The 1912 figures of
production are of course, prellnl-
nary, but the figures of acreage and

The Republicans are claiming all
credit for present prosperity.
A glance backward will be worth
while at this time.
Every panic since the Civil war
originated and developed under Re-
publican rule.
The Republican campaign textbook
of 1904 devoted muchs space to the
many business disasters occurring from
July, 1893, to November, 1894. intend
ing the public to attribute them to the
inauguration Of President Cleveland
In March, 1893. But the Republicans
fail to refer to the fact that the Re-
publican tariff Law was in force dur.
ing more than twelve Of the sixteen
months of greatest business disasters.
This fact must be remembered-th
Mckinley tariff bill became a law
Oct 6, 1890, and the first indications
of the 1893 panic were seen Nov. II,
1890, scarcely more than thirty days
after the Mckinley law was passed,
and the panic reached Its worse stage
In 1893 and early in 1894, during
which time the Mckinley law was in
full force.
Millions Lose Their Jobs.
It may be recalled, too, that the
panic of 1873 under Republican rule
and in period of twelve years of high
tariff taxation, was most disastrous,

ment and bankruptcy ran riot.
In 1890 the Mckinley high tariff bill
was passed. and there we're 1868
failures, followed by 1884 In 1891.
The tariff was raised to nearly SO per
cent, but wages stood still or de-
clined while the cost Of necessaries
advanced.
The most serious labor troubles in
the history of the United States have
occurred under Republican high tariffs.
Some Lessons Erom 1907.
The Republican panic of 1907 fur
nished another forceful refutation Of
the Republican claim that Democratic
administration and hard times, lower
tariffs and panics have been cock.

Condemn Themselves.

"The certain and significant thing is
that It will be known as Republican
and high tariff panic. Protest as Re
publicans may. they will be held re-
sponsible. Out of their own mouths
the Republican party and the Dingley.
ties will stand condemned. They fixed
In 1896 the standard by which they
cannot escape being judged. In the
party platform Of that year they re-
fered to the panic of 1898, and the
hard times following, squarely to
charge up the entire accountability to
the party in control Of the national
government, and the political infer
ence was stated with merciless logic:
Every consideration OF public
safety and individual interest de'
mands that the government be res

have shown themselves incapable OF
conducting it,
Now, what are the Republicans go
ing to do when the Democrats hand
them back their poisoned chalice:
