and then gather them and store
them together. In this way we
can get good ears from good
stalks and we can see that the
entire parent is good. We
should gather as many stalks
bearing two ears as we can find
aud plant both OF these ears.
These ears should be between
aud 81 feet from the ground
for the larger varieties of corn
aud nearer the ground for the
smaller varieties. The idea is
to get large good ear from as
small n stalk as is possible for
the best development of the
ear. The ears should come out
on opposite sides of the stalk
so as to properly balance the
plant. These ears should hang
down so as to shed off the wat
er and to make il more difficult
for birds and insects to gain ac-
cess to the ear. The stalks and
leaves should he large and
strong rather than long and
slender, as the shorter, thicker
leaves and stalks denote
strength and yigor We should
of course get good full stock
variety of corn to start on md
then select as described above
each ear and in this way doub-
L. the value of the seed corn.
When seed ears are selected
from the CRIB we cannot tell
where or on what kind of
stalks they grew Corn will
always lack uniformity and
qunlitv when selected in this
way. If the barren stalks have
not been removed from the seed
plat we should as far as posi-
BILE avoid choosing seed stalks
near them. For if we do one
parent of our stock is apt TO be
barren and like produces like.
For the reasons mentioned
above we should select the
best potato hills in digging and
plant all the hill. j. G.. 5.

Wilson For Re Election.

Washington, Sept. "a pub
lished statement by Nice-Presi
dent Marshall, declaring that
President Wilson should run for
reelection in 1916, and would
be the unanimous choice of his
party, aroused wide interest in
congressional circles today, but
white house officials refused to
make any comment.
In Democratic circles, how
ever, it is taken for granted the
president will be a candidate,
although it was stated that so
far as known he has not given
the question any personal at
tention. The denomination of
several senators and representa-
tives who have supported the
president on various questions
had encouraged Democratic
managers. In this connection
particular attention was paid
today to the nomination of
Representative Hardwick for
Senator from Georgia. The
praise of the presidents Mexi-
co policy In several Democratic
State platforms recently, also
has pleased the Presidents al
herents.
The vice presidents state
mcnt is a discussion of the
Democratic outlook. The por-
ton referring to the president
reads:
The Democratic party will
have but one candidate for pres
ident in 1916, and his name
happens to be Woodrow Wilson
He will have the entire and un-
qualified and united support of
his party.
Fairminded Democrats will
recognize that he is entitled To
Il chance for n second term to
prove the utility of his policy.
Lightning rods already up
may as well he taken down:
Democratic lightning will not
strike a rod in 1916.

ceived an ovation. Mr. Catron was a
slaunch supporter OF Mr.. Slenip former
ly, but is now one OF the leaders Of the
Progressive fight and 1t is estimated that
his speech converted number of Repub-
licans 10 the Progressive side.
He charged that Mr.. Slenp refused TO
let him or any Roosevelt man go as a
delegate to Chicago; that he, Catron,
went to Chicago aud worked for Roose-
welt but that Siemp blocked all efforts TO
allow the Virginia delegation to vote for
him.
His attack on Slemp AS stand-patter
created sensation and ,a.:sed great en-
thusiasm among the Progressives.
