HILL SELECTION TO
IMPROVE CORN CROP
Height and Strength Of Stalk May
Be Considered as Well as
Ear Itself.
CBy A. d. WILSON,

Hill selection of seed is urged by
every institution interested In the I'M
provement of corn. BY selecting corn
from the standing stalks in the held
one can consider other things besides
the ear itself. The height OF the ear
on the stalk and the strength OF the
stalk may both be considered, and
whether or not the ear grew on stalk
that had the whole hill to itself or had
to compete with two or three other
stalks can be determined. while II one
waits until the corn has been cut these
factors cannot be considered.
Early selection of seed corn from
the hill has many important advan-
tages over selection later in the sea
son. In the first place. it enables one
to select ears that are known to have
matured at the proper time. while II
the selection is deferred and weather
conditions continue favorable, some OF
the later maturing ears may be Sc
lected. because they are likely to be
larger and heavier.
While the large, heavy ears are de-
sirable, one cannot profitably select
them at the expense Of maturity, be-
cause corn that will not mature is
bound to be an Improbable crop.
Early selection from the hill avoids
the danger of the corn being injured
by frost while 1t Is still damp In the
husk

The Meaning Of Literature.

When we treat English authors "a

to provide elegant amusement for our
idle hours we are guilty OF a m.scon.

which Is denounced specifically or i'm.
plicitly by every great critic In our
language, and which Is certain TO pre,
vent all or almost all the possible
good results OF our study. The an
swer is to get entirely away from that
theory OF literature and to realize that
the poets and novellsts and essayIsts
are men who are trying to unity and
explain life to us and to give us the
zest for IL which their divine vision
has brought to them. We must face
literature squarely, recognize in II a
record OF the meaning OF our clvlllza.
ton, and. without confusing II for a
moment with Its historical and social
and philosophical bearings. Finally.

OF literature which will be more seri.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IA. 1914.

This is an uncertain day, according

Many planets contend for influence,
causing both good and evil guidance
in the affairs of men. Uranus, Jupi-
ter Mercury, Saturn and Mars are all
adverse, In the early hours, but later
some of the aspects change.
The Sun Is fairly favorable In its
sway. The conditions should be ad-
vantageous for seeking favors. Polit-
ical campaigns should be under for
tunate guidance today, but the cleo
tions have the representation OF ex-
treme results which represent surpris-
ing votes, especially in certain Eastern
states

will not do away with the banking.up.
even with the self-blanching varieties
when planted late in the season.
When the frost came, the celery
ridges were quite high. Stakes were
driven along the sides and boards
placed on edge. then more earth
banked up.
The top of each ridge was nearly
level. although the celery leaves pro-
truded several inches above. This Is
essential. for II the air Is entirely ex-
cluded the celery will rot.
When the freezing weather sets In,
old carpet was spread over the tops OF
the celery Additional covering was
put on as needed and during the mild
weather it was all removed and re-
placed whenever there were signs OF
a freeze.
In this manner the celery was kept
growing until late In the winter. when
the last of 1t was used.
