HEALEY HEIRS OBJECT
TO JEwETT NINE SALE.

Attorney w, A. S. Nicholson is in
the city from San Francisco, having
come to look after the interests of
the heirs of Benjamin Healey, an old
time San Francisco attorney who
died in 1907, and who was the own
er of the Jewett mine located south
east of Grants Pass beyond Bald
mountain.
This mine was recently sold by the
administrator of the estate, j. S.
Hoare, to Claus Schmidt, the sale
price being about $4,000. This sale
price represented largely claims
against the property, Mr. Schmidt
having advanced money for develop
ment work etc., during the past six
years, and SIS per month having
been allowed to administrator for
care of the property.
Attorney Nicholson states that the
California heirs are much dissatisfied
with the management and sale OF the
property and that they will seek to
have the sale set aside and will also
contest the final account OF the ad-
ministrator. The attorney says that
the mine had been appraised at $780,
900, and he makes the claim that
there are parties who would have
paid more than the $4,000 for 1t.
The sale was confirmed last week
by Judge Jewell, 1t having been ad-
vertised the required length OF time
by the administrator, whose report
shows that he accepted the highest
and best bid submitted there being
but the one bid, that OF Mr.. Schmidt

MANY ATTEND ROGUE
VALLEY CREAMERY MEET.

Despite the falling rain. there was
an excellent attendance at the meet
ing of the creamery promoters in the
assembly room of the Commercial
club Saturday afternoon, with inter-
est still at the pitch that means
success. Representatives from Gold
Hill, Rogue River and Rock Point
districts were present and are CO.
operating with the movement with
the assurance that large volume of
business will come from that terri
tory for the creamery. Because of
the heavy rain of yesterday a num-
ber of the solicitors appointed to
cover the outlying country were not
present, and their reports will be
heard at the meeting to be held at
the Commercial club next Saturday
afternoon at two o'clock, when it is

tors.
The local banks are cooperating
in the creamery movement, and have
expressed the intention of assisting
the farmers who desire assistance in
the procuring of dairy cows with the
installation of the creamery. II is
planned that where the farmer has
suitable land fo~ the handling of
cows they will be furnished him,
payment to be made with a portion
of the monthly cream checks on the
installment system. This plan is in
successful operation in California
and other dairy districts, and results
in the bringing into the country of
the best of dairy stock.

Kind of Corn. to Select.

1t seems natural for everyone to
like to select large ears Of corn. 1t
is. of course, more desirable to grow
large corn than small corn, but this
desire to get large corn has resulted
in much loss due to the failure Of
such corn to mature. Really, the
first consideration that should be given
to an ear of corn that is selected for
seed is whether or not it is likely to
mature in the locality in which it is
to be grown. If it will not mature,
it has no value for seed.
The fact that corn has matured in
the neighborhood. while a desirable
fact, is not sufficient assurance that it
will mature every year. because the
seasons vary greatly in their test on
this quality of early matuity in
corn. During favorable years the
plants with the later maturing quail
ties are likely to develop and produce
the largest and best ears. Deferring
selection until all of the corn is ripe re-
suits usually in the selection of the
later maturing ears, because they are
larger and better. On this account
the Minnesota Agricultural College
urges the selection of corn at date
represented by the expected first kill
ing frost. Corn selected at this time
one year may reasonably be expected
to mature at that time the following
year. Likewise, corn that has matured
ten or twenty days later than this
time, because of unfavorable condi.
tions, is likely to be caught by frost
the following year ten or twenty days
before it is mature.
The determining factor in the yielc
of a good variety of corn is not the
size of the ear. but rather the strength
of the whole plant and the percentage
of stand secured Three eight.ounce
ears of corn per hill in corn planted
three feet eight inches each way viii
yield 81 bushels of corn per acre,
which is twice the average yield oi
corn in the best corn states.

SEED CORN WEEK.
Chance for Extra Profit by Saw
ing Seed Now.

The husks are turning brown and
the time when we can expect frost is
approaching. Now is the time to
select seed corn September fifteenth
to twentieth has been desginated as
Seed Corn Week and it is hoped
that every farmer will, during this
time. select and properly hang up for
curing four or FIVE times as much seed
corn as he feels he will need next
spring. If it is not needed at home
the chances are that there will be
many people next spring who are
looking for seed corn of good type that
will grow. 1t is safe to say that if a
man could make as much every day of
the year as he can the days he selects
seed corn he would be earning about
$40. 600 per year. Ten bushels of
seed corn per day can be selected.
1t is worth $50. Pretty good pay,
is it not?
There are two very convenient
methods of gathering corn. When
the field is small or small amounts
are to be gathered a sack provided
with a strap may be carried over the
shoulder and the person picking may
take two or three rows at a time, go-
ing regularly through the field.
Where the field is large or large
amounts are to be gathered it is more
convenient to build long narrow sled
so that horse may be hitched aud
the sled drawn between the rows.
Such a sled may be made to hold five
or ten bushels and two or three per-
sons can work together selecting corn
from four or FIVE rows at a time.
The box carrying the corn may be
made up of number of smaller sized
boxes that will be convenient for un-
loading.
Choice ears only should be selected.
They should be mature, of good shapey
type, medium depth of kernel. pre-
ferably straight and regular rows.
and should be selecred from desirable
stalks, that is, the stalk from which
a seed ear is selected should be thrifty
of large diameter at the base ard tap
ering. broad leaves. ear convenient
height for husking. shank medium
length, the ear hanging downsand free
from deformity or disease.
Seed ears should be hung up'to dry
the same day or better the same half
day they are picked. The Important
thing is to get every ear so that il
has free circulation of air about it.
There are esmsny ways of doing this.
The double or single string; the corr
tree, hanging by the husk, racks;
jtste., may be hung up in an. open shed
for fewsWeeks though it may bt
placed in5the house attic or or siiinidiilai
