Selecting and Preparing Show Corn

Selecting ana preparing ShVd
It has been claimed by some that the
success of some corn breeders has been
due not so much to their ability TO
produce high yields as to their ability
to select winning show samples. NOW
while a high yield of corn is OF prl-
mary Importance to the farmer, the
ability to select a good show sample
should not be slighted in any way,
In selecting sample, the main idea
to keep in mind in uniformity. Uni
fornity of shape, size, color, and IN
dentation in one sample will often win
over another sample which contains a
lot of very good individual ears which
are not alike.
See that the ears are of nearly the
same length and circumference as pos
sible. Discard those ears that are not
cylindrical in shape, that is, see that
thew are round and that they taper as
little as possible from butt to tip. Col
or has reference to both the grains and
cobs. In a sample of white corn see
nat there are no yellow grains or red
Sobs (unless it be a red cobbed, white
variety, which is unusuaD. In vel.
low variety see that there are no White
grains or white cobs. In TACT, even
pink cob is Objectionable in yellow
corn. The deep, dark red is preferred.
The matter of color is even carried
further than is indicated in the above
sentences. for it is desirable to have
the ears of the sample Of the same
shade of white or of yellow, as the
case may be.
By indentation we mean the wrink-
led portion of the top of the grains.
See that the ears are Of the same
roughness or smoothness in this re-
spect. A very sharp grained ear is
undesirable, so also is very smooth
grained ear.
The next thing to consider is the in
dividual ears in the sample. Select
only those which are straight. Have
the rows of grains running straight
up and down the ear. Have the rows
of grains running uniformly and even
ly out over the butts and tips and to
such an extent that the tip is entirely
covered with grains and that cup
shaped cavity is formed at the butt,
where IL ear is fastened on to the
stalk; anc ,e sure to see that the!
spaces betR en the rows Of grains are
as narrow as possible. Finally see
that the ears are solid, that is, they
should be so firm that you cannot twist
them in your hands or move the grains
with your fingers.
Now take your knife and remove
from the ears all pieces Of husks and
silks. Cut out all the portion of the
stalk that remains attached to the cob
at the butt end. Scrape all the portions
of the cob that you cut with the knife
so that the cut is not left smooth and
clean.
Wrap each ear separately in piece
of newspaper and pack carefully in a
box. l you are so ortunate as to be
able to arrange your sample in the
show room, put the longest ear On the
right and the next longest next to it
and so on down, having the shortest
ear on the left of the sample.
Do not kick if the judges don't give
your sample first place, but try to SCI
lecE better sample next time.

MlLITIAMEN FORCED TO FIGHT
AGAINST .FELLOWMEN
Calumet, Mich, July 30.-The first
open clash between state militiamen
and striking copper miners occurred
today.
Soldiers at Isle Royale fired fifty
or more shots into the ranks of stTik-
ers.
Two miners are said to have been
shot. How seriously they were
wounded cannot be ascertained, since
the miners carried them off the field.
None of the soldiers were injured.
Calumet, Mich, July 3O,-There is
great unrest in the copper mine strike
zone today.
There were several fights last night
between imported non-union men
and miners. ...-.
There is bitter feeling over the re-
fusal yesterday of the mine owners
to recognize officials of the union.
The mine owners played the old
6olu1C' IL 4Cy OcLAA LA4Cy "CAC pC44UCI-
ly willing to meet the representatives
of the men, but would not deal with
the officers of the union.
Gov. Ferris has proposed a confer
ence of five mine owners and five
miners at Lansing to settle the strike.
How such a conference can be &C
complished if the owners. will not
recognize the union is hard to see.
Meantime there are signs of trou-
BILE among the troops themselves.
Two soldiers are in Houghton county
Jail for refusing to go on guard duty
against the strikers. They are union
men. A number of union men have
been forced into uniforms and asked
to take the field against their broth
ers.
1t is not known how many men

Plans are afoot for the calling Of
a general strike of all union men in
HOughtOn county to bring mine own
ers and merchants to their. senses.
The strike call might be issued to-
night or tomorrow.
Charleston, w. Va.-Peace has set
tied over the last mine in the Ka-
nawha district with the agreement of
of the mine owners and miners on a
contract under which all miners will
return to work with increased wages.
The United Mine Workers Union is
recognized by the owners.

FIVE ACCIDENTS IN A DAY
IN GERMAN AIR EXPERIMENTS
One Aviator Killed, Three Mortally
Injured, and Noblewoman
SerfousIy Hurt.

Munich, Germany, April 24-Two Ger
man army officers, both members of the
aviation corps of the Bavarian infantry,
were MORALLY injured today while making

The victims were Lieut.. Won Germer-

dition.
Berlin. April 4.-Two aeroplane acci-
dents, one of which resulted in instant
death to the aviator, occurred at the

other titled woman was perhaps fatal
ly injured.
While maneuvering over the flying
field Aviator Dumnitz lost control Of
his machine while 1t was 1000 feet in

fell to the earth, Dumnitz crushed to
death.

TAMMANY LOSES OUT.
F.. l.. Polk Ia Slated for New York
COllectorshfp.

The fight between the adherents of
Tammany and their opponents, both in
Washington and in New York, over the
collectorship of the port of New York
apparently was settled yesterday by the
quasi-official information that Franklin
L. Polk. of New York City, is to get the
coveted plum.
Polk, while not a rabid anti-Tammany
man, is considered to be antagonistic
enough to the organization to warrant
his appointment being considered VIC
tory for the opponents of Tammany
Hail. John K. Sague, former Mayor of
Poughkeepsie. was the leading candidate
of the anti-Tammany men, with Polk as
second choice. The nomination of the
descendant of the former President, ex-
pected within few days, will. therefore,
be regarded as a victory for the anti
Tammany men.
