SELECTING CORN FROM
SEED PLOTS AND FROM
THE GENERAL FIELD
(By Prof. r. A. Moore.)

A seed corn plot where the best
corn from the previous year is plant
ed is. an exceedingly good thing for
every farmer to have. He should
go into this field when the corn has
reached the milk stage for Leaf and
ear them show to best advantage.
Certain healthy and Ieafy stalks bear
ing at least one good ear should be
marked or tagged in a manner to be
recognized later in the season. The
ears should then be picked from these
marked stalks after the corn has be
come thoroughly ripened.
In field selection, it lis good prac-
tice to pick the seed the day before
harvesting the corn, bring the ears
to the corn curing room and husk and
place ON racks where there is free
circulation of air Where a large guam,
THY (several hundred bushels) of
seed is desired, the practical way is
to harvest and leave in the shock
for a few days and then husk and sep
arate into seed and feeding corn.
The practice of selecting early APP
pearing ears from a field of immature
corn should be condemned as one may
secure earIiness only at the expense
of vitality. If the desire is to grow
corn more early in maturity than the
one i'm hand, it is much better to
secure an earlier variety.

BEFORE AND
Af TER SENTENCE

The Daily Journal at Stevens
Point has the following in its Friday
issue about Mortimer Wilson. the
murderer Of G. s. Beardsley
In reply 10 questions put by Judge
Park, Wilson said that he was 10
years of age and that the family
lad lived in Grand Rapids for the
past five years, during four Of which
he made his own living. He said
that he had no intention of killing
Mr.. Beardsley, but when his victim
did not hold up his hands as ordered
he must have become excited and
fired. He said that Mr.. BeardsIey
was his former employer and that
he was friendly toward him and had
no grievance against him. He said
that there was no reason why sen
tence should not be passed upon him
except that he did not know what put
the foolish idea into his head to do
what he had done.
The sentence of Judge Park was
that Wilson be confined in the state

looked at the merchant for full min

chants are always complaining about
us farm ers patroniMng tthe mail order

dinky little advertisement in the

week without a change, and then
howl your heads off about advertising
doing you no good, and that you only
do it to keep the printer out of the
poor house. The mail order houses
don't look at it that way, but give us
a whole book full of prices and would
advertise in your home paper if the
editor would let them That mer-
chant has now a different idea about
