(By c. 2. BULLY

One of the main reasons why seed
corn should be selected early is to be
reasonably sure 1t will grow the fol-
lowing year when planted. Early Sc
lected seed corn is the corn that usu-
ally gives the best stand. Without a
good stand it is impossible to get a
maximum yield. and it costs no more
to raise field of corn with perfect
stand than 1t does to raise field with
so to 70 per cent. stand.

memorial amphitheater.
Under section ii of the public build

Congress granted authority for the am

not appropriate any money to build it.
The consequence is, Judge Kimball said.
that an effort is to be made to have
sum Of at least $4,000 appropriated in
the sundry civil bill, which is to be
brought up at the extra session of Con-
gress beginning April l. with which to
commence work on the amphitheater.
Judge Kimball hopes there will be no
difficulty about obtaining the desired ap-
propriation, now that Congress has
passed the law stating that the amphi-
theater shall be built. He is specified by
name as one of the commission which is
to have charge of carrying out the law.

of Hartford, Conn.,, and was placed on
the commission at the suggestion OF Sem

Dates Back Ten Years.
Ten years ago, when former Judge KIM
ball was commander of the Department
of the Potomac of the G. A. r., he was
impressed, he says. with what he calls
the '.insufficiency OF the hole in the ground
now at Arlington which is called the am
phitheater.' = He went to Elfhu Root,
then Secretary of War, and in charge of
the national cemeteries. Mr.. Root was
enthusiastic about the possibilities Of a
real amphitheater at Arlington, and had
an estimate made for an appropriation.
Carrere & Hastings. the New York
architects, were consulted. They were
asked by Judge Kimball to follow the
style Of the old Grecian temples, and to
mt the idea in sketches, which they did.
Judge Kimball and other members of the
a. A. r. went before the then appropria-
ton committee of the House with the
sketches and estimate, but failed to get
an appropriation
The following year former President
Taft became Secretary of War, and the
matter was brought before him, and he
renewed the application for an appropria-
ton, and continued to do SO constantly
until bill was passed in 1909 providing
for a commission to look into the matter
and see If it could not be brought to be
fact.
That commission was secured by mes

sage from Theodore Roosevelt. then Presi-
dent Judge Kimball had gone to him
and urged him to push the plan, which
he did, in his message at the beginning OF
the second session of the F1fty-ninth Con-
gress
AS first provided, the commission con-
sisted OF William III. Taft. Secretary OF
War: George B. Cortelyou, Secretary OF
tendent OF the Capitol buildings ana
grounds; Ivory G. Kimball representing
the G. A. r.. and former Gov. Curtis
Guild Of Massachusetts, representing the
Spanish War Veterans.
Plans Adopted.
After several sessions of the commits
sion, the plans of Carrere Hastings
were adopted. and these original plans
are now on file in the Office Of the super
vising architect Of the Treasury. Judge
Kimball then drafted a bill and submitted
it to the Secretary of War; who approved
1t and submitted 1t to the Senate and
House. Every year the Secretary OF war
submitted an estimate for carrying out
the werk. land finally the. Senate passed
it, amending it by providing for a chapel.
The bill was not passed, however. before
considerable difficulty. Hearings were
held before both the Senate and House.
1t was called Hp IN the Senate repeatedly
S--O
public buildings and grounds committee
at that time, but Senator Hitchcock OF
Nebraska always objected to 1t. Judge
Kimball went to him and told him that
he represented 100000 old soldiers, who
had three times urged and begged for
the ampitheater at their national en-
campments, but Senator Hitchcock in
sisted that the bill voted too much money
for the purpose.
Eventually, however, it passed the Sem
ate-July "a, 1912. 1t was not until the
Senate passed it that the House took 1t
up for hearings. These took place August
2. 1912. 1t was unanimously approved by
the House committee on public buildings
and grounds, but 1t did not pass the
House. Finally 1t was put in the tOrnni-
bus public buildings and grounds bill
passed March 4, and because it contained
provisions for Improvements in the capi-
tai which he thought should be made,
President Taft signed the bill, notwith-
standing his objections to general pub
lie buildings bill.

Modelled on Classic Lines. .

In making designs for the memorial
it was the endeavor of the architects to
obtain a classic and serious character in
order to express the dignity of the pur-
pose for which such a building was to
be constructed. With this in view, they
specially studied such classic structures
as the Theater of Dionysius at Athens.
the Roman Theater at Orange. besides
other conspicuous classic examples, at
the same time endeavoring to make the
design in character with the old colonial
buildings of Washington. such as the
White House.
The amphitheater suggested by the ar
chitects would seat comfortably 5000 peo-
pie and afford opportunity also for large
number to stand in the coiOnnade. Around
the amphitheater there is to be large
number of boxes, possibly to be specially
reserved for the families of distinguished
guests. There is stage provided facing
the amphitheater, this stage being suffi-
GENTLY. large to hold several hundred
people. SO as to accommodate visiting
