This act was evidently intended
to be coordinate with the Initiative

A fair sized audience greeted the
Democratic and Socialists candi-
dates for county offices at the
school house last Saturday night.
The Democratic candidates pres
ent were J. NJ. Wallace, for sheriff:
w. j. Pinson. for representative;
w. M. Van Hook. for county Judge;
Finn Craig. for treasurer; B. F.
Miles, for circuit clerk, and Judge
E. O. Mahony, for prosecuting at

for county clerk. The only Social
list speaker present was S. n. Bur
ton, candidate for sheriff. although
r. j. Taylor and E. J. Beck both
spoke at Strong during the day but
failed to show up here that night.
All the speakers were given close
attention and considerable ap-
plause was given the Democratic
nominees. We honestly do net
see how anyone who attended
even though Socialist when the
speaking started could have left
entertaining the same views.

Field Selection of Seed Corn.

Every farmer ought to select his
seed corn in the field this fall, It
is safe to say that 100000
bushels could be added annually te
the corn crop of Arkansas by the
ield selection of seed corn and the
testing of the seed before planting
That would be an increase Of onl,
3 bushels to the acre, for The
state corn crop in 1911 repre-
sented 100000 acres of lane.
When 1t is remembered that from
one-fourth to one-third of the SEED
planted does not come up and that
a large production of that which
does come up is so low in produc-
tive power that it produces mere
nubbins or nothing at all-both of
which difficulties can be largely
overcome by the methods sug-
gested it will be seen that the
estimated 3 bushels to the acre
as a result of seed selection and
testing is very conservative.
Seed selection should begin with
the cutting down or destroying of
defective stalks before the pollen
begins to fall from the tassels. It
is now too late for that but there is
still much that can be done. Any
ordinary farmer can go into his
fields and in a few hours select
enough good seed corn to plant
his entire crop. Here is the way
to do it: Choose a portion of the
corn field that has made good corn
without any special attention in
the way of fertilizing and from this
select a sufficient number of the
best developed and best fruited
stalks to furnish an ample supply
of seed to plant the crop with some
to spare.
The stalks should be only of
medium height. oval shaped near
the base and tapering rather sharp
ly toward the top. They should
have an abundance of broad, strong
LEAVES and should have the ear or
ears near the middle of the stalk.
If Of a prolific variety. the stalk
should have two good ears. but if it
belongs to large one-eared strain
one large we'll developed ear will
be sufficient. See that there are
no barren or defective stalks in the
immediate vicinity from which the
seed ears could have been ferti-
lized.
Attach colored string to the
seed stalks or otherwise mark
them. At gathering time send
hand ahead with bag to gather
the seed ears or attach a box to
the wagon bed in which to put
them. Put the seed corn away in
a separate box or compartment of
the barn where it will keep dr. till
planting time. If it is found that
weevils are attaching it fumigate
with a quantity of carbon bisul-
phide.
