conditions. Seed corr that is not
thoroughly dry before cold weather,
will in the northern climates, freeze,
which will cause the kernel to expand,
thus injuring the germ or little plant,
lowering its vitality and often destroy
ing it, so the kernel will not germi-
nate.
Few farmers save enough seed corn.
One bushel Of shelled corn will plant
from seven to eight acres. One hun
bred to one hundred and twenty se-
lected ears will make a bushel of
shelled corn. At this rate It will take
from twelve to fifteen ears to plant
one acre. It should be remembered,
however, that the first selection Is
not always perfect; and oftentimes
upon second selection and germina-
ton test, half Of the first selection
will he thrown out. Thus It Is seen
that there should always be selected
in the fall at least twice as much
seed as the farmer expects to plant.
There is little danger OF getting too
much seed corn. Any surplus, If the
seed is good. can usually be sold at a
fair price.
In case one has no special seed
plot In which his best and earliest
maturing ears were planted, It is then
necessary that his seed be selected
from the field. The most practical
method to do this is to- go through
the field with a sack tied across ones
shoulder and select the choicest and
best matured ears. Two rows Of corn
may easily be examined at once. Dur
ing the process Of selection, consider

the stalk. the height Of the ear from

GET A BOX AT STATE FAIR

There are 120 boxes in the grand
stand of the Arizona state fair. The
fair commission has reserved thirty
of these boxes, ten in each of the
three rows. The other ninety boxes
will be drawn for on Monday, Sept
ember %, at 10 a. m. Each applica
tion must be accompanied by check
for $25.
Ninety numbers corresponding to
the numbers on the boxes will be
placed in bag and the number a
person draws will be the number Of
the box he will occupy at the fair.
If more than ninety checks are re-
ceived. the first ninety applicants
will have The first right to draw.
II an applicant cannot be present
at the drawing himself, he may de-
signate someone to draw for him
and thus be sure of box.
The fair commission is very anx-
ious that those desiring box in
every part of the state, shall have
an equal chance with those in any
other part of the state, and have
devised this plan to accomplish that
purpose.

CANNERY FOR VALLEY

The McNeal cannery at Douglas
is a grand success. 1t is canning
tomatoes, squash, string beans,
pumpkins, sweet potatoes. kraut
and fruit. The output this year
will be about $4,000 cans.
What the McNeal company is do
ing in Douglas, can be done in the
ella valley. A canning company in
this valley would be a success from
the start. Tomatoes, sweet potatoes,
squash, corn and string beans can
be grown here in large quantities
and sent to the cannery, besides the
vegetables, we have piulns, peaches,
pears. appricots and grapes which
could be canned.
The only wonder is why cannery
has not been started. The PROPOSE
tion is good one and is sure to be
successful. Here is chance for
some one to get busy and organize
a canning company for next season.

HYMN BOOKS AND BABIES

A clergyman was anxious to intro,
duce some hymn books into the
church and arranged with the clerk
that the latter was to give out the
notice Immediately after the sermon.
The clerk, however, had notice
of his own to give out with refer.
ence to the baptism of infants. Ac.
eordingly, at the CLOSE Of the sermon,
he arose and announced that all
those who have children whom they
wish to have baptized, please send
in their names at once to the clerk. "
The clergyman, who was stone
deaf, assumed that the clerk was
giving out the hymn book notice,
and Immediately rose and said:
And | should say, for the benefit
of those who haven't any, that they
may obtain some from the ushers
any day from 300 to 400; the ordi-
nary little ones at 25 cents each, and
special ones at 50 cents"

ISN'T 1T SHOCKING

The following lines copied from tn,
Rochester Herald contain more truti
than poetry, though you may think i
so shocking:
Little girl you look so small;
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no chimmy shirt?
Don't you wear no pretty skirt?
Just your corset and your hose?,
Are these all your underclothes?
Little girl when on the street
You appear to be all feet;
With your dress so very tight,
Surely you're an awful sight;
Nothing on to keep you warm,
Crazy just to show your form;
Little girl you won't live long,
just because your dress is wrong;
Cant you wear more underclothes,
Than your corset and your hose?
After while, | do believe,
You will dress like Mother Eve.

A SUMMER TALE
Carl Hayden Relates an Experi
ence in Southern Arizona

Carl Hayden, representative at
large from Arizona, is not at all
bothered by the tales of hot weather
in Washington during summer time.
He has had experience in heated
spells in his native state.
Il was in southwestern Arizona
one SUMNER" said Hayden, where
the mercury stood most of the time
at 130 in the shade, but would oc-
casionally get a hump on itself and
run up to 160,, In the sun it was
from $50 to 200. People who under
stand the climate go into seclusion
from II o'clock a. m. and stay until
late in the afternoon.
But tenderfoot out there that
summer wouldn't take advice. He
thought he knew all about every
thing and didn'tpropose to lie around
loating like the trifiing natives. He
would go out and work right through
the heat of the day like he did back
east.
He tried it one day and that
settled it. When he started out he
was a tall man. 6 feet 3 inches in
height. When he came in that eve
ming he was only 5 feet high. He
had melted and run down during
the day! His legs were straight in
the morning, but they had softened
in the sun. and when he came in at
night he was SO bow-legged that a
two-year.old calf could have jumped
through the loop.
He was really peculiar looking.
His features had melted and run to-
gether so you could not tell where
his mustache left off and his eye
brows began and his ears had slipped
down on his neck. After that he
knew enough to stay in the shade in
the middle Of the day!'

Some of the young boys who
gambled at this particular roulette

bers.

public school on some early date in

they have acquired in the home.

PURITY SUNDAY
To THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA:

To THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA:
In connection with the Seventh
international Purity Congress, which
will be in session from November
7th to 18th, 1918, at Minneapolis.
Minnesota, under the direction OF
the Worlds Purity. Federation, a
proposal has been made which
, heartily commend to the citizens of
Arizona, namely. that Sunday, No
vember 9th, 1918. be designated
Purity Sunday" and be observed
by churches, fraterHal orders and
kindred organizations for the promo.
ton of sccal and personal purity.
The devoting of this dav to the
fostering of these influences which
supplant disastrous ignorance with
that knowledge of the sanctity of
sex relations which enchances human
health and happiness, should be a
potent factor for wholesome envir-
onment and exalted parenthood.
Such movement is, in my opinion,
deserving of the cooperation of
every true citizen cherishing bis
country's welfare.

cations for reference in preparing
