acre, was raised by Glen Pea
body in the Box Elder Valley.
Jacob Thompson, the winner of
the third prize reports as follows:
The ground was fcvr inches
deep and was disced twice
and narrowed once between
April 9th and May 18th. No
fertilizer used. The seed plant
ed was White Squaw Corn. The
seed was planted three inches
deep on the 18th of May and
was cultivated once with walk
ing cultivator on the End of July.
The average hight of the corn
was four feet. Average hight
of ear from ground was one foot,
average length of ear was eight
inches. This crop was matured
October 1st with the yield Of 36
bushels per acre. Aside from
these first three prize winners,
we will simply mention the most
salient features in two OF the en-
tries that drew S. each. The
first, Lyle Lambert, planted
Squaw corn, two and one half
inches deep, on the 18th and 10Th
of May. He then narrowed the
ground four times from May 10th
to June 9th. 1t was then culti-
vated with a walking cultivator
three times between June 18th
and July 18th. This corn reach
ed the hight of four feet. Ear
one foot from the ground with a
average lenght of eight inches.
Date of maturity September 14th.
The other instance that Of Otto
Senrud a contestant winning a
SIS prize. In this Indian Squaw
corn was planted two inches
deep on May 20. This corn was
planted on sod and was not cuI-
tivated. 1t attained hight of
three and one half feet. With
an average hight Of ear from
ground of one and one half feet.
With an average lenght Of ear Of
ten inches. Our contestant does
not state the date of maturity of
crop. but gives the total yield of
the entire acre OF six bushels of
corn.
A glance at these reports show
plainly why the prizes fell as
they did, and leaves no doubt
but that it takes cultivation to
raise corn.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Street Car Ethecs

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
Therehas been of late much discus
sion of street car ethics, much of which
the writer believes is only serving the
purpose of befogging the real issue-why
under ordinary conditions should any one
male or female who pays for a ride, be
required to stand? Let the discussion take
a fling at the real culprit, the Il. r. L.
& P. Co., who takes the lady's nicGle and
does not furnish her a seat, but makes it
necessary for her to stand in the aisle,
trying to look unconscious of desire to
sit, until some tired working man who
also paid for a seat takes pity on her
and relinqushes his seat for her sake? ?
Mr.. B. r. l.. & p. says I have both of
your nickels and could furnish seats, but
1t is not necessary as that tired work
man has more regard for the lady than
1 have and win give her his seat. Let's
let the working or other man who is
only enjoying what he has paid for alone,
and direct our criticism to the big, rich,
pampered b. r. L. e. p. Co., who have
not chivalry to give a lady a seat nor
sense of justice enough TO give man
what he has paid for. Nor concern enough
for the comfort of the public upon whom
they are fattening to furnish open cars
for summer service. l do not know wheth-
er. it could be done or not, but REM
edy that suggests itself TO the writer's
mind would require the street railway
company to give to the passenger whom
they can not seat a rebate check good
for another ride. making two rides for a
nickel My impression is that if an ordi-
nance to this effect could be legally
framed, there would need be no further
discussion of the standing question

TRI-STATE ALREADY
A FARM CARPENTER SAYS

Charles F. Carpenter, president of
the Tri-State League smiled last
week when asked about the report
that major league clubs we're con-
templating buying Tri-State fran
chises to use the league as a farm for
promising young players.
There is a number of players now
in the Tri-State who are virtually the
property of the big league clubs" said
Carpenter. I'VE have in force what
is called the optional agreement de-
signed for the purpose of permitting
players to obtain little more season.
ing for the majors. This optional
agreement enables the club which
formerly owned the player to exercise
an option on his services on or before
August 20. When the option is exer-
cised it does not mean that the player
is taken out of the Tri-State. He
may remain until the end of the sea-
son and then join the purchasing club.
If the option is not closed, however,
the player then becomes the property
of the club he is with. Thus it would
not be necessary for major league
clubs to become owners of Tri-State
franchises merely to use the league
as a farm. because they can already
farm players under our rules"
