Snow is good thing for Morrow
county The fall this week has ave-
ragged about is inches on a level, tho
in many places it has drifted and is
piled to a depth OF 20 feet. On Tues
day the temperature raised to 40
above and has been above the freez
ing point since, and the melting OF
the snow has been gradual. In years
past, when we were visited with
heavy SHOWS, it could be expected
that good crops would follow, and
our present discontinue will doubt
less be rewarded by an abundant
harvest the coming season. Let it
come; our people are certainly ready
for it.

BREEDING CORN THAT WILL RESIST THE
DRY WEATHER OF WESTERN KANSAS

Interesting Observation-Disclosures Under Way to
Cross Chinese Variety With the
American Kind

appears, down the chute comes the
pollen, and the silks are fertiized.
Close poIlination? Yes. But it is
not true that self-polIination is neces-
sarily bad for corn. Some varieties
may become adapted to it. And this
Chinese corn saves its pollen, short
circuits on itself and gets its ears
pollinated, in the very face OF hot
winds that blast the tassels, waste
the pollen and dry the silks Of our
ordinary corn. So much for one way
CT coming a corn crop out Of a drouth
season. We are said to have hot
winds in Kansas,-sometimes and
when they come and spend week
at the corn pollination period, it is
goodbye to the corn crop. But the
hot winds are not all of a drouth.
What if the rain doesn't arrive for
two or three weeks, or a month and
a half in July and August, the corn
leaves roll, the ears shriveI and fail
to fill, and the kernels wither and
cease to grow. How is the corn crop
going to get through, not merely a
three days hot wind, but a long,
steady, vicious, professional drouths-
one of the first-class successful kind
such as we enjoyed last summer?
Here again we need new blood for
our corn,-drouth resistant blood of a
different kind from what the Chinese
corn offers And it seems to be
promised in the new Mexican hairy
corn,-just introduced by the Depart
ment of Agriculture from the high
plateau of Mexico, and that is said
to grow and to make a crop without
a drop of rain during the growing
season. This hairy Mexican is GER
tainly as queer a corn as the China
man. It is tall, ungainly plant,
with long stretching joints, leaves set
far apart, and looping at all angles;
and instead of standing up straight
in the rows, the Mexican corn kneels
over the ground for the first three or
four of its joints. You couldn't culti-
vate a field of this Mexican corn with
anything on earth but a crooked
stick
It hasn't any ideas about saving
pollen. 1t looks as though it didn't
know anything that corn ought to
know But the purple sheaths of its
ungainIy leaves are covered with a
dense forest of hairs, which extend
out to some extent over the blades.
Now the sheath of the leaf wraps
and protects and supports the tender
stalk within. Strip the leaf sheaths

METHOD OF KEEPING YOUNG

The way to ward on old age is not
to fear it, not to allow ones self to
be oppressed by the dread Of advane-
ing years Use only legitimate pre-
Ventives and avoid trying experiments
with preparations not Endorsed BY
physicians Do not wear toilettes In
tended for young girls, they only add
years to the appearance. Keep up
your Interest in the young, but do not
envy them. Retire with dignity from
the struggle. dc not pose as your
daughters rival Above all, surround
your life with sweet, true affections
which prevent the heart from growing
bitter. Do not lose interest in the
growing events Of the day; do not fall
behind the times and do not harp on
other and better days. To those who
come to you for advice be always kind
and sympathetic. AS you advance Ia
years preserve carefully your personal
appearance, for once lost it may not
be regained, save by strenuous effort
Your costumes should be simple and

and it is said that $4,000 is the least

The three men, E c. Clark, Jay
Fitzwater and Watson Scranton, who
pleaded guilty, and John Schmidt,
who was convicted, are worth in the
aggregate more than 100000, Clark
