the more regrettable because 1t need
not exist and it is much more serious
than commonly supposed because
many do not fully realize the tremen-
dous loss to themselves and the coun-
try due to planting inferior seed. A
full stand of plants may be obtained
from inferior seed, but the yield will
not be the best possible. The loss Is
due to delay or negligence. 1t can be
prevented by the selection Of seed
corn In the autumn. Until COM
munity has its experienced and honest
corn breeder, the best place for the
farmer to obtain seed corn is from
fields on his farm or in his neighbor-
hood that were planted with variety

in that locality.

poultry means uniformity of products.
Uniformity of products means in

 While none of the family would dis cuss the cause of his absence, which led to a police search, it was given out that he was in good physical condition and that after leaving Dr. A. W. Buck, his physician, in the railroad station he went about New York city and made calls on a number of business acQuaintances.
 After MT. MarshalFs disappearance was reported he was sought in Bridge port as it was thought he might have come to his former home.

ROCKEFELLERS ARE
 SUSPECTED OF
 NEW HAVEN AIMS

New York. Dec. 15.-Are the ROct<e- ;ellers taking advantage Of the col- lapse of New York. New Haven & Hartford stock to increase their hold ngs with view to gaining control?
 This was the QuesI1on raised in the financial district yesterday. It was stated, although without any demon strated authority. that ever since the shares broke through par there has been accumulation by brokers who usually act for Standard Oil interests. Absorption by these brokers has been persistent this week, it is said.
 William Rockefeller is already a dil rector on the New Haven The shares are so widely scattered throughout New England that the Rockefellers and their associates it was pointed out, would not have to buy a majority of the stock to swing control.
 The Morgan interests never owned stock control. but were able to gov ern New Haven by proxy. J. P Nor gan less than a year ago owned 2,18S shares and acted as trustee for 1885 shares People connected with the Morgan firm held 15,0OO shares. Their percentage of stock ownership was less than the percentage they charged for handling the New Haven's multiplicity of new issues.
 George F. Baker, a close associate of the late J. P. Morgan, holds 800 shares in his name Lewis Cass Led yard. another close personal friend of the late MT. Morgan, owned 20 542 shares
 Although William Rockefeller is a director, no public record of his re- cent holding is to be found. Charles M- Pratt, however, is understood to represent the Rockefellers, and he holds two blocks, one of 6.690 shares and another of 15. 27O shares He is the largest individual shareholder
 Bankers pointed out that sharehold- CTS were willing to give their proxies for the Mor gan interests when diyi- dends were being paid, but now that payments have been stopped owing to the policy carried out by the Morgan interests 1t is believed stockholders would be less willing to place their voting power in the Morgan hands.
 As the Rockefel1ers usually make money out of any property they take hold of, it is believed that it would be an easy matter for them to enter a fight for proxies and win If they had a. mind to-
