Corn is open pollinated, and as

unity for wind action. Through re,
MIA, the effects of the crossing Of va.
r;eties Of different color, as white,
yellow, red. blue and speckled, be-
come apparent the same season in
which the crossing occurs. On the
market, corn is graded on color as
we'll as quality, so that for this rea-
con alone every effort should be made
to prevent the crossing Of varieties Of
different color. ~
Community cooperation may well
fhe directed toward the prevention Of
such cross.pollinationS or of any mix
ing at all. since the, crossing OF va
r:eties of the same color is undesir
able because, affecting uniformity in
height, maturity and other characters.
Owing to the readiness with which
the pollen is carried by the wind there
Is danger Of mixing not only in adj
5jacent fields on the same farm, but
on adjacent farms as well. The ready
solution is to restrict, by agreement
the varieties grown in the community.
TITS restriction Z will also help the
sale of pure varieties at the elevators
Mixing different colors in the, bin or
car lowers the grade and price.

the building OF. communal seed corn

would be only a slight annual expense.

The vote In the Senate committee

THE natural and expected result OF

been distinctly one-sided so far as

Of the vigorous advocates OF ton al'

the exemption was a subsidy and
that 1t, swould have been wiser, for
tactical and diplomatic reasons, to
adopt the policy Of collecting Tolls
from coasters. and returning the
money afterward in sthe form OF a
bounty. Colonel Goethals strong
testimony was a smashing blow " 70
