Madden Wants to Know.

Representative Madden (rep) Of Illinois
wanted to know why it was necessary to
hold a civil service examination when the
ultimate intention is to appoint demo-
Gratis anyhow.
'"They hold this examination to see
whether any democrats can read or
write" suggested Mr.. Mondell.
They held one in my district and a
democrat won out" said Representative
Tom Hefiin, because no republican was
competent to stand the examination"
Representative Mann scored the demo-
Gratis by telling them they wanted the
spoils system, but are afraid to write 1t
into the law.

when he cries for spoils system. and

he said that he stands for the merit

Representative Austin endeavored also

spicuous place in the limelight in the
House Of Representatives today, when
the urgent deficiency bill was taken up
for discussion in the committee on the
whole.
The fourth-class postmaster. who is the
foundation stone Of nearly all the po-
litical trouble which is making life mis-
cradle for democratic congressman these
days. received no end of oratorical at
tention from both sides of the House
when an attempt was made to take from
the bill the paragraph appropriating
money to hold civil service examinations
to fill $1,000 Of these positions.
OF course. many democrat hates to
see these jobs go into the civil service.

resentative Bartlett of Georgia tried to
knock out the first paragraph providing

HARVESTING SEED CORN
BY MAnLEY CHAMPLIN,
Agronony Department, South Dakota
State College.

After the seed corn is picked ont. it
will probably be preferable III nearly
all parts Of the state to cut off the
stalks, shock and thresh the corn,
thus utilizing the entire product. The
corn stalks OF South Dakota are sue
culent and Will be eaten up almost
clean if properly rut up and shredded.
This IS u place where we have an
advantage of the older corn states.
The fodder in ordinary seasons is
worth about one-fifth to two-fifths as
much as the grain, SO that ii fodder is
left in the field, 90 to 40 per cent OF
the farmers returns go to waste. 1t
is possible to save part OF this loss
by pasturing, but unless either hogs
or sheep follow the cattle and horses,
we all know that considerable OF the
fodder goes to waste. There is no
business in town that wonld stand if
the proprietor lost 20 to 40 per cent
OF his receipts every year. 1t is just
such losses as this that keep many
farmers poor.
To sum up, We must pick out good
seed ears: We must know good ears
when we see them: We must pick our
corn on time. and be careful to get it
from the right kind of stalks. We
must induce at least one man in each
community to become a corn breeder
and give assistance in improving the
corn for The locality. We must pre-
pare the seed properly for the planter
Use a good planter. put in the rows
straight, cultivate carefully and keer
the corr clean and harvest SO as tC
utilize the entire crop in order to get
the most profitable results from oui
labor.
