The execution of the four gunner

those executed in New York should

is plenty of mining and other work
to be done in Alaska. The execution
of criminals makes no reparation to
society for their crimes. In Alaska

The Sun of Redwood Falls sprung
new one on us this last week when
in his political make-ups he stated
that if Mrs. Pratt had any opposition
at the coming election it would be
the editor Of the Milroy Echo that
would make the race. If we had any
such inclinations, which we positive
ly have not, we would wait until
there was a logical chance. Mrs.
Pratt has made such splendid coun-
ty superintendent that we would feel
that we would owe Redwood Coun-
ty great debt, should we get it, for
taking the superintendency away
from one whom we consider the most
capable superintendent we have ever
had. 1t is our opinion that there
isn't a person in Redwood County
today, who could defeat Mrs. Pratt
at the coming election and you can
bet your bottom dollar that we would
be the last one to try it. This is a
case of Let George do it" with u.s.

The United States department Of
agriculture has proved it by careful
experiments, says A. p. Wilson, direc-
tor Of the Minnesota Agricultural COL
lega's extension division. From a
report recently sent out it appears
that by selecting alone the. average
yield to the acre on a 10-acre field
was increased ~ bushels. The ex-
pertinent has extended over d period
Of II years. The first seven the yield
was .63 bushels on an average. The
second seven it was rs. Say the

Here again Mr.. Wilson has at his
disposal some Interesting facts. He
tells of a farmer at Olivia, Renvilfe
county, who last year. proved the
value. of early selection quite to his
own satisfaction. For Is years this
man had practiced early selection.
Last year, however. tho work Of Sc
lection was interrupted, and he was
compelled to select at different per

was gotten in two weeks later yet.
The first corn picked gave 100 per

When it came to planting, of course,
the 100 per cent corn was used
But early selection does more, says
Mr.. Wilson. It enables farmers to
push the northern limit Of the corn
belt toward the Canadian line. y. 3.
