Not Be Chosen for Seed.
The tip kernels are likely to be finty
and of n pop corn shape, which is I'M
desirable In dent corn. II bare tips
are noticeable to quite an extent
throughout the field, 1t may be due to
the fact that the silks representing
the tip kernels which were formed last
were too late to receive the pollen to
fertilize them. II ears having defec-
tive tips are used for seed, their I'M
desirable characters will soon become
permanent. Open tips usually accom-
pany shallow and irregular kernels on
the ear which makes the kernels on
that part OF the ear undesirable for
planting, on account of lack OF uni
formity.
In Judging the character of the butt
OF an ear of corn, the way in which
the rows come over towards the shank
is important. If the corn comes in
too close, the ears may drop off the
stalk during the ripening and not full
ly mature. All ears which have butts
improperly filed should be rejected
Corn breeders in desiring to get a
large proportion OF corn to the cob,
often choose ears with too smaTl an at
tachment for the shank. The butt and
the tip kernels are rejected for plant
ing, because they are more likely to
be mixed with other varieties and
owing TO their peculiar formation, they
are not uniform, and interfere in the
planting. They also seem weaker in
termination and are more tardy in

Plank Road to
Get MdkeShift
RepairingSO0

As a result of the action of the Joint
committees OF the Hudson and Essex
boards of ~freeholders at a meeting yes
terday a temporary planking will be
laid within the next few days, to re-
lieve the condition of the Plank road,
which has been given considerable
notoriety of late.
The cost, estimated by County Engi-
neer Wasser, of Hudson, will. be about
si4, 900, and the work will take about
fifteen days.
At Its meeting next Wednesday
private bids for the entire work will
be opened by the committee, and the
lowest bidder will be ordered to start
to work three days later.
The committees decided that the
work would be done more satisfac-
torily If the contractor furnished both
labor and material, because this would
prevent any disputes arising about de-
lay in the arrival of the timber.
The Legislature granted the counties
the right to accept private bids after
they had been approved by the director
and supervisor of the boards.
That portion of the road near the
Jersey City line will also be planked.
at an additional cost of $4,000, in order
to prevent a repetition of the present
trouble.
A subcommittee, consisting of Free
holders Ahner, Ryman and Gilbert. OF
Essex. and Freeholders Mccue, Nc
Govern and Rodgers, of Hudson. was
named to receive the bids.

Creditors to Get
Vanished Goods
Purchaser Of Rubber Shop
Tires Must Refund.

Numerous creditors of 1.-THE Rubber
Shop" formerly of Q Branford place,
the proprietor of which disappeared at
the same time as the stock, are today
rejoicing over the decision of Judge
Holt, of the United States District
Court in New York, whereby nearly
$4,000 will be added to the defunct es-
tate.
On the night of April z last three
trucks were used in removing nearly
all of the Rubber shop stock to New
York. Charles Seifert and Harold r.
Hare had owned the place, but some
time before dissolved partnership,
Hare assuming the debts Of the con-
Germ. When the creditors learned that
the goods had been removed a hasty
investigation showed that Hare had
disappeared also. In a short time the
concern was thrown into bankruptcy
by Bilder & Bilder. attorneys for the
Diamond Tire Company and others.
In the proceedings which followed 1t
developed that the missing goods were
taken to the auto accessories store of
the Braunwarth- Weiss Company at
Fifty-sixth street and Eighth avenue,
New York city. The latter company's
omcials declared they had purchased
he tires and other material in good
faith from Hare, but the trustee
brought suit to have the transfer set
aside as being fraudulent. Bidder &
Blder have been prosecuting the suit
before Judge Holt during the week, and
h court made the decision yesterday.

ceiving nearly the full amount Of their
claims.
