was threshed out With pleasing results

erything looks fine in South Dakota
Gov. johnson said after the meeting.
Il do not feel apprehensive in the
least about the progressive cause
here"
The most important accomplishment
of the conference was the decision to
make John Sutherland who managed
the Roosevelt primary campaign in
the state last spring assistant of Sher-
wood. BY this action the progressives
hope to get some work done for the
national ticket. Sherwood, although
he is listed as a progressive. has done
NOtIlns toward IuTlneFlnS the inter-
ests of Roosevelt and johnson. Be-
cause of the objection of the regular
republicans his plan has been to wait
until after the meeting at Michel on
September 10 where it is proposed to
put Taft electors and full new state
republican ticket in the field by petit
tion. The contention of the Taft ad-
herents is that the progressives in the
state have stolen the republican name
by having the five progressive electors,
who were chosen by the state conven-
tion go on the ticket listed as repub-
lican effort has been made to induce
the progressive electors to resign but
they have shown no disposition to do
so all candidates on the state and
congressional tickets have agreed to
work together. The ticket is compos-
ed of progressive candidates with the
exception of the aspirants for lieuten-
ant governorship, auditor and two
congressman who are candidates for
reelection.
Burke and Martin. they are regulars
but they too have agreed to state
ticket harmony plan. The governor
made addresses at Huron and Sioux
City. At Huron the speech was de-
livered at fair and at Sioux City at
progressive meeting at night. He
also said a few words from the rear of
his train at Salem.

WHAT'S A HERRINGo

Washington. Sept. 14.-What is a
herring? That is the urgent question
with which the treasury department
wrestled today. After authoritatively
deciding several months ago that a
hen is bird. Acting Secretary Curtis
is now called upon to draw the line
sharply in the family Of fishes. Gus
toms revenue for the government
hangs on the decision.
The tariff act imposes duty Of one
half cent pound on herring while
fish in tins must pay 30 per cent ad
valorem. The customs court has de-
cided that herring. whether or not in
tins is entitled to the lower rate Of
one-half cent per pound. The ques-
ton is. are sprats. sardines and other
fishes of the same family herring? Or
is herring only the common popular
variety that used to be cheap and
which can he found in all markets Z?
Mr.. Curtis has reserved decision. and
will apply the taste test.

The tip kernels are likely to be flinty

desirable in dent corn. II bare tips
are noticeable to quite an extent
throughout the field, it may be due to
the fact that the silks representing
the tip kernels which were formed last
We're too late to receive the pollen to
fertilize them. If ears having defec-
tive tips are used for seed, their un-
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. 49,. 81
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
~ mature. All ears which have butts
improperly filled should be rejected.
Corn breeders in desiring to get a
large proportion of corn to the cob,
often choose ears with too small 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
growth than kernels from the middle
parts Of the ear.

this reason a plump tip usually indi-
Gates vitality.
The kernels on the cob may be ir-
regular, being deeper at the butt than
at the tip. This makes the kernels
non-uniform in size and renders the
corn almost wholly unfit for seed. No
machine will plant kernels of this type
SO as to get uniform stand.
Kernels with weak or shriveled tins
should be discarded, no matter how
we'll the outside of the ear may look.
At least IS per cent. of the oil in the
kernel is in the germ, hence corn
with we'll formed germs is desirable.
Tests by the Illinois experiment sta.
ton show that the oil in corn may
vary from 21z to ~ per cent. and
protein from 61s to Is per cent. If
seed corn contains large amount Of
protein and oil the crop grown from
this seed will be high in these desir-
able features.
Standard measurements for corn
produced i'll northern, middle and
southern Wisconsin, are as follows:
Length, northern section to inches,
central, 81 to 81 inches, southern 81
to 9A inches. Long ears are objection
able because they usually have poor
butts and tips, shallow kernels and
hence a low per cent. of grain to the
ear. In general the circumference
