DETROIT BOYCOTTED

thing to do is TO reject all the bids,
have the city take them temporarily
and sell them at par TO any one who
wants to buy them"
The rate OF interest In considered
sufficient. In the spring OF the year,
Mr.. Heineman went TO the council
and had the rate increased from IL
per cent TO four per cent TO insure the
sale OF bonds at that time, claiming
the former rate OF interest was too
low. He showed this by comparison
with the interest rates OF other large
cities. The rate OF interest Is larger
than that paid by banks on deposits,
tins security Is gilt-edged and the
bonds are good TO raise money on by
posting them az collateral at any time
The great question Is why the bond
houses didn't bid.
They didn't bid because they
couldn't see their way to making
money by buying the bonds at par"
said Mr.. Koch. The trouble the city
has had In disposing OF its bonds
dates back to the time when Frank
Il. Doremus, then city controller, in
sisted on demanding par for the
bonds. The bond companies wanted
TO buy them below par. Doremus then
said: Well sell the bonds to small
purchasers over the counter at par.
This got the bond buyers sore and
We have felt the effects OF It ever
since.

ton and politics have anything to
do with the scarcity of bids. Money,
of course. Is little conservative at
this time, but the interest and secur-
ity are first class. Why, know peo-
plo with fortunes lying in the banks

might have that money invested in
city bonds at four per cent Then
there is the real estate market. II Is
very attractive TO investors at tho
present time. / wouldn't want TO say
that the bond houses have boycotted

happens to be registered.
Beware of stations that are heredi-
tarily unsound, for it is just as I'M
profitable to raise unsound horses as
it is to raise scrub horses. You may
ask what is meant when certain I'M
soundnesses are designated as heredi-
tary. It means that such unsound-
nesses are due primarily to weakness
of the part involved and that this
weakness may be in the form Of one
or all Of the following conditions:
poor conformation, poor quality OF
tissue, or an Indifferent quantity Of
tissue. These weaknesses are physical
and as such, are trans
mitted to the offspring. AS such an
offspring develops toward maturity
and Is required to do the ordinary
work that a horse free from these
weaknesses should do without dis
turbances Of function or structure OF
any part, then the evidences OF these
weaknesses begin to appear In the
form of one or more of the various
hereditary unsoundnesses. Hence 1t Is
not the unsoundness itself that Is
transmitted, but rather the cause In
the form Of a weakness Seek and
patronize the stallion In which there
is com bined soundness, good individu-
atty and good breeding. Never &C
cept any one of these qualities alone;
all three must be combined to insure
success The good, sound, pure-bred
stallion is a public benefactor; the
scrub stallion is public nuisance

As extremely high ears tend to be

should not be used for seed. On the
other hand ears too low tend to ex-
treme earliness and therefore none
but ears of a uniform height should
be used for seed.
systematic manner, because slipshod
and uncertain methods will only re-
suit in disappointment and failure.
Really seed corn should be raised on
specially prepared ground from pedi-
greed seed, and this WI should have
been undertaken at planting time last
spring. However. a good beginning IN
t., selection of seed can be made now.
When the corn Is thoroughly ripe
in the field the selection should be
made by taking row at time and
picking only those ears which come
up to a certain standard fixed before
hand.
In the selection Of the standard the
farmer must make up his mind in
advance whether he wants a large,
coarse stalk with the ear high from
the ground, or smaller. stout stalk
with the ear lower down.
If he desires a large ear with
coarse grains, or a medium sized ear
with the grains compactly set. he must
make his selections accordingly.
Right here, however. the selector is
warned against a very common mis-
take-that is picking ears Of abnor-
NAL size or appearance. If he wants

The great restless tide Of farmers
from the middle states still hows
steadily westward. So active has be-
come land speculation in all that part
of the country west of the Mississippi
river that 1t Is affecting the financial
affairs Of the entire country IN no
small degree.
The farmers have come to realize
that there Is no more cheap land ana
that prices are steadily advancing, and
In their eagerness to supply their chill
dren with farms, these men who have
made comfortable fortunes in the
great corn-growing states, are selling
their farms at high prices and invest
ing money in the newer lands OF the
west.
Lands in Iowa and Illinois and other
corn belt states bring from 1926 to
$3.50 an acre, and as there Is yet good
land in the far west to be had for a
quarter Of that sum, the temptation to
multiply ones gains is irresistible to
many.
Country banks all over the country
are being stripped Of their farmer de-
posists for these western investments
and the condition of the money mar
ket in Chicago and New York is at
fected in no small way by this fact
Cheap land in the west is no more.
Raw lands Of great productive power
under irrigation bring from $40 to S76
per acre. Fruit lands in the noun
tain valleys are worth great deal

more, and the flood Of buyers tn their
eagerness to secure good locations are
bidding up the prices on themselves.
The only really cheap lands to be
had in this country today are In the
south and in New England. Many
people imagine that New England is
no longer farming country, but the
fact remains that 1t is producing more
agricultural wealth than ever before.
Massachusetts alone, last year. sold
$42, 900, 900 worth Of produce from Its
farms While much of this land has
been worked out by bad methods. 1t
can readily be resusitated and made
to produce excellent crops.
The south presents an attractive
field for the enterprising northern
farmers who practice scientific meth
DDS. A kindly climate, well watered
soil, abundance of timber and great
markets are among the advantages Of
the south. It's worn-out soil can be
more easily redeemed than that Of the
New England states and with more
progressive methods in rotation, great
er variety, live stock growing and ma
nuring, the south may, within ten
years, be made to double her present
agricultural wealth,
When high prices eventually check
the tide of immigration westward. the
farms east and south will prove highly
attractive and profitable to the set
tiers from the great and prosperous
middle states.

The quality and quantity Of next
years corn crop will depend very
largely upon the selection Of seed
not merely the picking out OF good
looking ears, but upon the time, place
and manner in which the selection IL
mado. ".
If we wait until Just before plant
ing time next spring and then run
through the corn-crib and pick out
what looks to be likely seed. we are
taking chances Of about eight to ono
against a full crop.
The time to select seed corn Is IN
the fall after the grain is thoroughly
ripe. and the selection should be made
In the field. This method enables one
to know exactly the kind Of stalk
which produced the ear and to avoid
tl.ose stalks which, although they may
have borne one good ear, indicate by
their general appearance that they
would not reproduce q perfect stand
next season.
Seed corn selection Is one of the
most important details Of growing the
crop, It must be undertaken in q

set grains he may and occasional
ear bearing these characteristics IN
very marked degree, ahnormally SO IN
fact, but 1t would be mistake to
select such an ear because the ten
dency will be to increase variation and
when these variations run to excess,
they are pretty sure to produce un-
desirable qualities. .IM
1t would be just as great mistake
II the selector is looking for medium
sized ear with closely set grains to
select an understood ear with the alb
normally sized grains for the reason
above given. It is always wise to
stick to the medium specimens. hay
ing the desired characteristics. as bet
selections. ..
| It is a good plan to select seed from
stalks Of stout healthy growth which
have made uniform progress during
the season and that are we'll provided
with leaves 80 as to provide plenty
OF fodder. 1t is important to observe
! the tassel of the stalk to see that II
is strong, symmetrical and Is we'll de-
veloped and free from any evidence
| Of disease.
| The stalk from which the ears are
taken should be we'll rooted In the
ground, upright. stronJ and vigorous.
and any evidence Of disease or alb
normal growth should at once con-
denim It.
Only ears that are we'll silked and
that are thoroughly covered with the
husk from tip to tip should be selected.
Here again It is mistake to select
ears bearing abnormally developed
husks or husks that re too little
developed.
If the ear contains an unusual
amount Of husk It is a sure sign OF
coarseness and will show UP badly IN
next years crop.
The shank bearing the ear should
be short and not over an inch or
an inch and quarter in diameter.
and those ears pointing downward
are the most desirable. These shed
the rain and thus preserve the grain
while those ears which stand upright
or nearly so, naturally catch moisture
which trickles down into the grain
and causes 1t to rot.

No. I shows good stalk, well bal
anced ear about four feet from
the ground, well set and turned down
enough to shed the rain. No. Is q
weak stalk, joints too long, ear set
too high and much too near the top.
Not many ears containing these char
acteristics will be found In random
selection the first season; but by care
full breeding, ears may be produced
which will be perfectly covered at both
ends and symmetrical in appearance
from butt to tip.
In selecting seed corn 1t is necessary
Of course to aim at the perfect
standard and not be content with any,
thing else. If one goes to the trouble
Of making any selection, why not carry
1t out to it's conclusion and strive to
produce perfect grains instead OF one
half or three-quarters perfect? Only
the perfect grain is worth striving for.
The selection Of seed corn in the field
is not an easy Job or one quickly &C
complished. It cannot be done In the
usual completing way, but must be
done with basket on arm and IN
spirit of calm contentment even though
a whole days work brings no more
than a dozen ears to the seed bin.
II the worl. Is hastily done tho
chances are largely In favor of poor
crop next year. What Is day or
two spent In the selection OF seed at
the proper time as compared to the
increase of next years crop resulting
from careful and wise selection7
