WANT TO CORRECT
FARMERS PRACTICE
Purdue Professors Explain
Methods of Selecting
Seed Corn.

LAFAYETTE. Ind. Oct. 13.-Farm-
ers should not depend upon the seleC-
ton OF seed corn from the wagon
when ii comes to the crib at husking
time, for in this way they know moth
ing OF the parent stalk from which the
ears came. and this is Il most import
ant factor in corn growing.
With view to correcting some
practices which have existed for gen
eratiOns among some farmers, the eX-
tension department Of Purdue Jniver-
sity has been cooperating with cOun-
~ agents throughout Indiana in the
carrying on of seed corn campaign.
The meetings have met with unusual
response on the part of the farmers.
and an aggregate of 3.000 has been
in attendance at the sixty meetings
held during the past few weeks The
farmers have begun 10 realize that
perhaps no one thing is as important
in the securing of high class seed corn
than that of proper field selection. fol
lowed by proper storing during the
winter.
Prof g l. Christie is highly graft
fed by the success of the meetings al
ready held and believes they will have
d lasting effect on Indianas agriCul-
ture.
Indiana will require for the 1914
crop more than a million bushels Of
seed corn" he declares "If every
bushel is to be of high quality. it will
be necessary for farmers to give their
attention TO it before the heavy
freezes"
Corn breeding has been experiment.
ed with in several experiment stations
and it has been demonstrated that
al r%a,x -
stalk will give larger returns than
ears from stalks of Other types. The
successful type is that having IL to
IA large leaves, holding the ear 31a or
feet from the ground. in such a po
sition that it is protected from the
rays of the hot sun as we'll as heavy
rains. Many stalks have been weak
ened by disease or injury from other
source, and 1t is not to be expected
that the corn from these would be as
full of vitality as that from the above
mentioned stalk.
The gospel of good storing Is receiv
ing more than usual attention this
year Prof Christie believes that this
should be given as much consideration
as any other phase of corn growing
He has accordingly outlined the policy
of the extension department along
these lines, and declares that corr
should not be placed in large heaps
on a tight floor. At husking time the
corn contains a large per cent of mois
! ture, and if not permitted a thorough
circulation of air it will often mould
and lose its vitality.
Neither should corn be hung over
stored grain or live stock he adds
at should be placed in racks or tied
up with wire or Irvine, so that each
each individual ear is subjected to the
proper circulation of air 1t should
also be placed in a room where it viii
be protected from rains and SHOWS. sc
that when it is once dried it can be
kept dry"

CONFLICTING REPORTS
FROM OLD MEXICO
Hnerta is Reported to Have Out
Generated Wilson in
Diplomacy.

Washington Sept. 9.-News from
Mexico was OF decidedly conflicting
character today. According to one
report the Huerto government had
been brought to the verge of bank
ruptcy by reason of the pressure
brought to bear upon European
bankes by the Wilson administration.
Another report had it that Huerta
had completely outwitted the admin
istration in diplomacy. This report
was supported by circumstantioi de-
tails which lent to it an AR of
plausibility.
AS confirming the declaration that
Huerta has triumphed in the diplo-
matte contest with this government,
it was stated today that he still
maintains control of the Congress,
which elected him provisional presi-
dent; that he will be able to have
deputies present at this congress
from Sonora, Tabasco, Durango and
Chihauauhau just as if there was no
civil war in progress and those great
provinces were actually in control of
Huertas army.
