PICK SEED CORN
EARLY IN FALL

One of the best small jobs that the
farmer can do is to pick his seed corn
early in the fall before it has been hit
~ heavy frost or freezes. Such
weather cannot fail to seriously in
jure the vitality of seed. Throw a
sack over the shoulder and 20
through the field as soon as the corn
Is fully matured. Select ears of good
size from strong stock stalks of the
average height. The ears should be
found growing about 3h to feet from
the ground and should hang down on
q shank of medium length.
Do not pile up early picked seed
corn. 1t must be hung up in strings
or so placed that the air will circulate
freely around each ear

felt that the farmers were in better
position than the experiment station
to carry on corn breeding on a prac-
teal scale. and we have had a con-
siderable number of men who have
been interested In doing this.
with the small grain work, how
ever, the problem Is somewhat differ
ent. The methods of breeding, while
they seem to the scientific worker to
be simpler than those pertaining to
corn breeding. are in reality not quite
so easily carried out on the farm, and
for this reason perhaps, the state
ought to come to the assistance of the
public in the production of improved
seed to be used on the farms"

CLEAN MILK BEST
At HIGHER PRICES
Consumers Begin to Realize
Value of Sanitary Ways of
Preparation.

There has been in the past much
indifference on the part of consumers
with respect to the cleanliness of milk;
too many of them desire to buy milk
at low price and do not give any
consideration to quality. Dirty milk
may prove expensive as gift, while
clean milk may be economical even at
a high price; the cheapest article is
often the most expensive. A higher
price for clean milk may be cheap in
surance against some form of sick
ness.
In a recent Farmers Bulletin (No.
6O2) the United States department OF
agriculture has outlined the main fac

EARLY MATURING
CORN NECESSARY

Farmers everywhere are paving
more attention to the early maturing
OF corn. From a market standpoint
this has now become a necessity. The
new grades Of corn are largely based
on moisture content.
In order to secure corn that will
grade we'll early in the season. early
maturity, which will allow proper dry
ing out on the stalk, will be an essen
tial
Early maturing corn also has other
advantages in that the effect of late
summer drought is largely forestalled,
and the danger Of frost Is avoided

pense may not be large, it is only fair

pense may not be large. it is only fair
that the consumer should pay his
share of the cost of improving the
quality Of the milk. The consumer
can not expect to purchase a slean,
safe milk at the same price as a dirty
milk which endangers the health of
his family.
more serious consideration is the
marked increase in the cost of pro-
duction which has resulted in recent
years from feed and labor problems.
This increase is in keeping with the
increase in the cost of almost every
commodity, and the consumer must

The life OF a wild duck whose ne

BALL BY
KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
About 100 Couples Participated-De-
hghtful Music and Beautiful Deco
rations-the Committees.

What was generally admitted to have
been the most delightful dancing party
of the season was the annual ball last
evening in the ball room of the Ma
sonic temple, conducted by Beauseant
commandery, Knights Templar. The
attendance, decorations. music and re-
freshments left nothing to be desired.
The ball room had been converted in
to veritable bower by the committee
and Carl S. Hopkins, florist. The music
for concert and dancing was furnished
by Leitsinger 5 augmented orchestra
of 10 pieces. The concert in particular
attracted attention and the flute solo.
Mazurka de Concert, by David W. Will
kinson, flute sOIoist of the Boston Mu-
nicipal orchestra, was an especially ap-
preciated number This was true also
of a zylophone solo by Harry Wales in
concert. G.. F. Pearson, bass, of
Springfield. Mass. was another of the
musicians whose work was much appre-
ciated.
The decorations were the most elab-
crate of any yet used in the Masonic
temple. The ball room lends itself par
ticularly well to effective work bv dee
orators and the committee who had
charge of the event earned for them
selves q reputation as artists Lattice
work was used to outline the girders
and for panels on the walls, and in this
was entwined southern running smilax
in which were concealed tiny electric
lights. On the wall opposite the en-
trance blazed in electric lights the in
sigma of the commandery, fianked on
either side by the United States flags
and the commandery flag. Here and
there on the walls were emblems of
the fraternity and flags and guidons.
and from the greenhouses of Carl S.
Hopkins had come n profusion of lilies
and other flowers that were used very
effectively. Numerous white doves as
if in flight were poised on the lattice
work or suspended by invisible wires.
The whole effect was in accord with the
Easter season.
The orchestra stationed in the ante
room gave a concert from $50 to 9
0 clock, at which hour the grand march
opened the dancing festivities of the
evening. This was led by Frank &.
Putnam, grand captain general of the
grand commandery Of Vermont, and
Mrs. Horton d. Walker They We're
