The illustration shows a field of con where the mn are using a good
method of selecting corn for seed. They are searching for plants that have
produced heavily under average conditions and in close competition with less

select his w seed corn will find it profitable to drop all other business and
devote himself to the selection of al abundant supply. The process is %
important to be ndUcte while husEing. Increased yields from good selec-

Safeguarding the Money
Ashland Record, 11th.

In curbstone discussions of the
special election to be held next
Tuesday for the purpose of validat-
ing the mineral springs bond issue
the old question as to whether the
money from the bond issue is prop
erly safeguarded has come up again.
BY referring to the charter amend
ment voted June twenty-third-an
amendment which created the board
of three commissioners who are to
handle the money-we find that the
safeguarding of the money is provid-
ed for in the following sections:
Section 5. There are hereby ap-
propriated the proceeds which may
be realized from the sale of the
$175,000 bond issue voted by the
people of Ashland for the purposes
of constructing, installing and main
tanning said auxiliary water plant
and which shall be used for such pur-
poses only; the said proceeds shall
be deposited by the said treasurer in
a specific fund, separate and apart
from other city funds; and said funds
shall be paid out by said city treas
urer only upon special itemized
vi luS bdlu w dbCi
Commission, which vouchers shall be
issued under the seal of said commits
sion, signed by the chairman and sec
retary thereof, and shall show fol
what issued, to whom issued anc
amount paid for each item thereon
enumerated; and the said vouchers
shall not be paid until countersignet
by the payee in such manner that the
voucher shall stand for a receip
from said payee to the treasurer fol
the amount so paid.
Section 6. All contracts entered
into by the Springs Water Commis
sion for material, construction, labor
supplies and for every other purpos
in carrying out the object of its crea
tion shall be made in writing unde
the seal of the commission, signe
by the chairman and secretary there
of in four duplicates, one of whic
shall be filed with the city treasure
one with the city council, one n
tanned by the commission and or
by the contractor; and no work Ill
der said contract shall be proceede
with until the said duplicate col
tracts have ben so filed.
Section Z. The council may exa
a good and sufficient bond to be e.
tered into by the commissioners
such sum as in the judgment of Il
council may be necessary, como
toned upon the faithful performan
of the commissioners duties accor
ing to the tenor of this amendmer
and that they will honestly al
promptly account for all funds pas
ing into their hands, provided {
expenses of said bonds shall be pa
out of the funds herein appropriate

European Wars
Block Fruit Sales

The rush season with the Ashland
Fruit and Produce Association is now
practically over and those connected
with the association are devotlng
their time to getting the remaining
apples out OF the way. Manager
Briggs states that the season just
closing has been a fairly good one
in spite of many conditions-princi-
pal among them being the European
war.
The crop of early fruits and ber-
ries was extremely short but the mar
ket price was good-the fruits bring
ing a better price than last year.
The apple crop has not been at all
satisfactory from financial stand
point. The crop was an exception
ally large one but the markets that
have in the past consumed the Ore
gon apple crop were almost totally
destroyed this year. In the eastern
states where many Oregon apple!
found their way in the past, the Can
adian apple growers this year have
poured their crop. n Europe the
market is almost practically annihil
ated. In Berlin, Hamburg, Amster
dam and Brussels. in the past, public
markets have been maintained wher,
the Oregon crop found its way ant
where each year many boxes OF oui
apples we're sold at auction. ThiI
season there has been no sale of ap
pies at all in those cities and the re
suit will be that much Of the croI
will either remain unsold or will gC
at almost the price OF culls.

The commissioners shall enter into
no contract or issue any voucher In
excess of the sum hereby appropri-
ated for the construction of an aux
iliary water system, and no contract
or other obligation, together with the
total of all contracts and obligations
previously entered into, shall exceed
the amount of funds herein appropri-
ated for the purpose, it being the in
tent hereof to keep the expenditures
made by said commission entirely
within the said appropriation, and
any contracts entered into or any
voucher issued therefor in excess of
! said appropriation shall not be a
: charge against said fund or the city
+ of Ashland, but may be recovered
upon the bond of said commissioners
! by proper civil procedure.
All contracts shall be made in the
name of the city Of Ashland and all
contractors shall be required to fur
nish good and sufficient surety
bonds, conditioned upon the faithful
performance of their contracts.
Payments to contractors may be
made from time to time as the work
progresses on the estimates, but at
no time shall such payments exceed
the work actually performed, and in
no case shall more than S5 per cent
of the contract price be paid until
the work is fully completed and ac-
cepted.
Section 8. During the construc-
ton of said plant the said Springs
Water Commission shall file with the
city council on the first Tuesday of
each month thereof an itemized
statement of all expenditures made
| by the commission during the pre-
: ceding month, showing for what the
, expenditure was made, and each item
e thereof, the total amount and tC
: whom paid, which itemized state
r ment shall be published by the com
4 mission for the information of thu
: public; and when the construction o
h said plant is completed the Spring
:, Water Commission shall make a de
y tailed statement of all amounts eX
e pended in said construction and o
l. all properties acquired for said pur
d pose, for the information of tn
L. council and the public, and sue
statement shall be spread upon tn
ct permanent records of the city; an
n thereafter monthly reports shall b
in made.
lie The above sections would appea
T. to properly provide for the saf,
ce guarding of the money from the bon
d. issue and the Record is of opinio
It, that they do. They are part of Il
ID charter of the City of Ashland an
IS their various provisions are therefor
