HIS MIND UP IN THE CLOUDS
Professor Imagined Appeal Was From
Fldo, and the Situation Became
Embarrassing.

A great lover of animals, Professor
Dryasdust was much given to having
his pet dog sitting beside him at meal
times eating tidbits from his own lit
tie plate.
The other evening he was at din
ner party, and his partner was a very
great lady who was proud Of her
title.
But the professor paid absolutely
no attention to her. His mind had
switched off on to some abstruse point
and he was lost to the world over the
problem.
The duchess did not approve Of this,
and presently, to attract his attention,
she pulled him gently by the sleeve.
Then the professor woke up. Grab
bling a half-picked chicken bone from
his plate, he thrust 1t under her
startled nose.
Don't bother just now, Fido!" he
said CURLY. Here, take this and go
and eat it on the mat, like good
doggie!"

Farmers should get busy now
and select the seed Of corn and sor'
ghum which they expect to plant next
spring. The only sure way Of obtain
ing seed from high yielding plants Is
by going into the field before the corn
is cut or before the sorghum Is cut
and selecting ears and heads from the
plants that have produced large, de-
sirable shaped ears and heads. The
plants that have produced large ears
and heads while at the same time
growing under normal conditions IN
the field are likely to produce seed
that will produce equally strong plants
under similar conditions the follow
ing year. It is impossible to know
what kind of a plant produced an ear
of corn after once placed in the crib.
Large ears are not always the product
of good plants. Some plants have
more room to grow in than others In
a general field Of corn. When this Is
the case even weak plants produce
large ears. This is an abnormal con-
dition and seed produced under such
conditions is likely to produce low
yielding planting.
Scarcely any more time Is required
to 20 into the field while the corn Is
standing and select ears OF the right
type than to select ears from the crib
next spring. The farmer who will get
his seed this fall in the manner sug-
Eested and who win care for It prop
erly from now until planting time win
be absolutely sure Of having seed corn
that will be 100 per cent good. On
the other hand the farmer who simply
harvests his corn In bulk and stores
It away in the crib until next spring,
from which he viii secure his seed
corn for next years planting, can
never tell whether he Is getting seed
from good plants or poor plants and
whether It Is going to grow after he
plants It. A little time spent now IN
obtaining the right kind Of corn and
sorghum seed to plant next year

means a great saving Of money for
the man who does It.
In selecting sorghum seeds Of all
kinds, whether 1t is black hulled
White, Kansas Oronge, Sumac, OF
any Of the varieties, one Of the main
things should be to obtain ripe seed
from the plants that matured the
earliest. A great deal of the sorghum
grown in Kansas it late in maturing.
We can develop earlier maturing
strains by selecting seed from the
plants in the field that have matured
the earliest. ! would advise all sor.
ghum growers to select their seed
now from early maturing plants in or
der to be sure that. they have seed
that win ripen early next year. In
storing this seed during the winter
all that Is necessary Is to see that It
is protected from the mice and in.
sects and that the air Is allowed to
circulate freely around every ear and
head so that the grain will become
thoroughly dried. Once the seed has
become dry there will be little danger
from freezing weather thereafter.
Most corn that is placed in the crib
contains considerable moisture. II
freezing weather comes on while the
corn Is in moist condition the germ
is. likely to be killed. This is true al.

any kind. They should be dried out

through the winter in good condition.

room where 1t may be hung up or
spread out. If seed corn contains an
excess of moisture, 1t is important
that free circulation OF air be main
tanned.
A convenient method Of drying and
preserving seed corn is to place 1t on
shelves made Of lath. These shelves
may be built on the side Of q wall In
the seed room,, or they may be built
away from the wall and open on both
sides. The shelves should be about
four inches apart and one just above
the other.
Somtimes before planting, a more
careful selection of the seed should be
made. Each ear should be examined
closely and only the best ears saved
for seed.
Do not select kernels from the butts
or the tips OF the selected ears. They
may be all right but usually they are
smaller and uneven. Seed must be
uniform in size and shape. Do not
fail to grade your seed corn. Do these
things and you'll have corn to take
prizes.

By Associated Press.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 9-Presi-
dent Taft charged here in a speech IN
Memorial Hall that Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, his campaign manager, Sen
ator Dixon, of Montana, and democrats
in the senate were responsible for the
"emasculation" of the arbitration trea-
ties with Great Britain and France,
and that i'll consequence of their action
the pacts we're SO changed as to be of
doubtful utility. These treaties, the
president declared would have made
wide steps toward universal peace;
would have signalized movement for
a universal arbitration court and were
as progressive measures as ever were
suggested to the American people,
For some reason unknown to my
puzzle witted brain,' said the pres-
dent, "Mr. Roosevelt opposed these
treaties, and by those men who sup
ported that opposition, his manager, Mr..
Dixon, and the democratic votes in the
senate, those treaties were so emas-
culated that it is difficult to see wheth-
er they contain anything of value which
ought to be ratified into treaty. My
idea of progress and of the highest
progress possible was i'll those arbitra-
ton treaties because l saw in them
step toward a universal arbitration
court. to which any nation in the world
might resort in order to solve con-
troversy that it might have with any
other nation, and until we get such
court, war will not disappear and this
was decided step toward that end, as
progressive measure as has ever been
suggested to the American people"
Attacks Roosevelt.
MIR. Taft's memorial hall address was
the last scheduled for his present tour
through his home state He contin-
ued his attack on Colonel Roosevelt,
taking up more than a dozen subjects
that Mr. Roosevelt has referred to in
his speeches against the president. Mr..
Taft openly accused Mr.. Roosevelt of
misrepresentation and misstatement,
said that in many actions for which his
predecessor now criticized him, he had
been influenced by Mr.. Roosevelt's adj
vice and asked the people of Ohio to
give him square deal.
The president dwelt at length on the
Roosevelt charges that he was the
friend of the boss and the tool of the
trusts and special interests. He point
ed out the failure of the Roosevelt ad-
minstration to prosecute the Steel
