ANENT SEED CORN.

81 have made termination tests of
| the seed corn in ten counties through
out the state and find that the germi-
nation of what appears to be good look
ing corn is lower than 1t has been for
some years. This is no doubt due to
the extreme amount OF rain we had
last fall. therefore take this oppor-
tunity to inform you of this situation
so that you may have opportunity to
determine the termination of your own
seed corn in sufficient time for plant
ing. l would suggest that you test
each ear according to the methods |
have demonstrated to you or your men
at various times"
The above communication from Prof.
C. P. Norgood, Assistant Agronomist
for the University of Wisconsin, Col
lege of Agriculture, should be of in
terest to farmers of Manitowoc County.
The past fall was one of the worst ones
of many years for the harvesting OF
good seed corn The continued rains
made it necessary in many cases to
leave the corn ia the field for several
weeks, much of It lying On the ground.
That this should ne detrimental to the
vitality of the seed is solfevident. The
continuous moisture with medium
high tenn erature caused termination
to start even though sprouting was not
evident. Subsequent drying or frost
would in many cases kill the germ or
at least lower its vitality to such de-
gree that the seed is too weak to give
a healthy stalk of corn.
Methods of termination have been
illustrated and demonstrated on vari-
Gus occasions, SO it is hardly necessary
at this time to repeat. Farmers would
do well to test their seed corn before
the spring work starts. Information
can be had by applying to the Agron-
omy Dept. of the College of Agricul-
ture at Madison, or samples of seed
corn may be sent in and it will be test
ed free of charge.

of the state and reorganization of the
committee without reference to the
past party affiliation.
Vertrees claims that he has clear
title to the leadership of the party and
that he does not propose to surrender
it. Others claim that in saving his
own political life he has contributed to
the widening of the party breach. He
knew what joint conference would
do, and he avoided it. He said tonight
that he would not have had chance
against the Patterson regulars and the
independents in joint meeting. The
independents have their plans and
proposals made TO the regulars, which
they will take before the people as ev-
idence of their good faith in the work
for harmony. Some will applaud their
credentials as manifestations of patri-
otism, while others will see in them
mockery and snare. 1t all depends
on the point of view.-George Morris

Sailor From Youth.

Capt. Amundsen has for many years
been considered one of the most dar-
ing and competent of Artic and An
tarctic explorers. A sailor from his
youth, he started polar research at the
age of 25, when he participated in the
Belgoa Antartic expedition under the
command of Gerlach. He was first
officer of the vessel, and the voyage
lasted from 1879 to 1899. On his re-
turn he made up his mind to continue
polar research, but this time he decid-
ed to GO to the North to discover the
Northwest passage
He prepared himself for the task by
undergoing course of two years study
in magnetism and meteorology. Then
he sailed for the North from Chris
tiania on board the Clio with crew of
only eight men, on June is, 1903. Pro.
ceeding to Lancaster Sound, he sailed
past Cape Adelaide and King William
Land and Ross Straight For many
months Amundsen drifted along and
finally on August 26, met an Amer
ican whaler to the east of Cape Bath
urst. He ultimately brought his lit
tie vessel through the Bearing Strait,
and thus for the first tirae accom-.
plished the Northwest passage. Dur
ing the voyage he determined exactly
the position of the magnetic pole. Al
together he was three years away
from Norway.

POSTMASTERS CONFIRMED
IN SPITE OF PROTESTS,

Bristol, March 8.--News was receiv-
ed from Washington late yesterday af-
ternoon of the confirmation of the
nominations of E. E. Hathaway, as
postmaster at Elizabethton, and J. s.
Byrd, as postmaster at Jonesboro.
These were recess appointments, and
we're made by President Taft upon rec
ommendation of Congressman Sells
shortly after Sells became a member of
congress. They were made to fill va.
cancies caused by the removal of Il. G.
Alexander as postmaster at Elizabeth
ton and Frank Britton at Jonesboro.
Senator r. l.. Taylor opposed confir-
nation of the nominations on the
ground that the old postmasters were
removed withoutsufficient cause. How
ever, the nominations were finally
confirmed.
