Bedding, June 12-Somehow nothing was done at the quarterly meeting of Pomona Grange the county organfza- ton Of the order. which was held here last week, to forward the project for establishing a county farm bureau un- der the recent act of Congress grant ing national aid to such bureaus. At meeting held two or three months ago under the auspices of Reddina. Grange and the Protective League the terms Of the law were explained by Prof Jarvis of the Connecticut Agri- cultural College and g. vote of approv- al given the project. Two counties of this state have already organized bur eaus and 1t was hoped that early ac- ton would be taken to make Fairfield county the third. Naturally the
 county grange organization was ex- pected to take up the movement and get 1t under way. but 1t failed to do this and did not even discuss the mat ter. To each county bureau the na- tionaI government gives a yearly al- Iowance of g, 900. To employ a ca pablo superintendent whose expert in formation and advice on soils crops, the care of live stock, etc, would be at the service of the farming popula- ton would cost from $3.00o to s4,0O0 a

HOW LOCAL DEALERS
 FIND AUTO TRADE
Business Is Good and Prospects Are Fine-Waitinq for the 1915 Models.

New models are being expected by nearly every dealer in the city. This has a, tendency to slacken the sales of some of the dealers, but upon the whole conditions continue to remain satisfactory. and from present indica- lions will remain so during the sum ner months.
 With the new models almost due. agents find that conditions are more favora4ple than year ago. Most re- port more sales for the period. and declare that the selling market viii increase upon the arrival of the new cars. Nearly every dealer reports an increase of sales during the year Of 1914 The briskness of business ig not confined to the popular priced car. but includes the more expensive ones.
 Dealers in all sections of the 1coun- try report a decided increase in the sale of cars. Tn the middle west. the barometer of the automobile trade. more sales have been made than in any previous year in the history Of the industry. The factories are now work ing full time, it is with difficulty that they are able to supply the demand
 The new model LocomobiIe will be upon the market within a short time. A number of new models have been imported from France The new models are beautiful in both body and design, and the long, low graceful lines make them distinctive in the automobile world. They are now to be seen at the factory. number of mechanical features have been revolutionized by the engineers of the company. The touch the button starter is probably the most wonder ful of the many improvements. This Starting system has been perfected by the Locomobile engineers in con junction with those of the Westfng- house company. All that is necessary to start the engine is to press the button. and the engine whirrs silently around. No meddling with the but ton after the car is in operation will cause trouble to either engine or starter.
 Another feature is the locking sys- tenn. which safeguards the owner while he is in the theatre or in the cafe. There is only one way to steal it with the lock on. and that is to load it bodily upon a truck The lights, Ignition, horn and everything Is dead until the owner places the key in the lock and turns, when ev- erything is returned to normal order. In this way it Is literally impossible for the wouId-'be joy rider to drive the machine away. or the mischievoue small boy sounding the horn. There are many other features of the car that makes 1t st1 ally acceptable to the diHcrfTl1fnatfng purcnAser.
 A satisfactory state of affairs ie found at the. Fairfield Auto Company. The May business of the company has been gratifying. The new model o1 the Overland is expected to arrive al any time, but 1t is reported that sales conditions are unusually active for this period of the year, when they are ex- pecting the change of models. The Overland people report an unpreee- dented sale of these well known cars l in all sections Of the country Thei1 popularity is increasing in this sec ton of the country.

ears as will mature we'll. The larger
the ear the later it natures. Three
good ears of this kind to the hill will
give a larger yield than fewer ears
of larger corn. Best results are OBJ
tanned from ears that carry the butt
diameter well toward the tip, that
have straight regular rows of uniform
kernels, and have kernels extending
we'll over tip and butt. The last point
is one to be insisted upon-that the
kernels should extend well over the
butt. Corn with wide and deep fur
rows between the rows of kernels, and
corn that shows chaffy and pointed
tips, indicating low feeding value and
poor terminating and keeping power,
should be passed by. Look for the
deep and well filled kernel. A good
dent kernel will be somewhat wedge
shaped, about half again as broad at
the top as at the bottom Again ears
with large cobs are to be avoided
One should select twice as much
seed corn as the area to be planted
calls for, because in going over his
selections later he will throw out
much that at first seemed good, and
the termination test to follow will
eliminate still more.l
Having selected his corn, one must
store it for curing. There are two
necessary conditions for this:
A circulation of air about each ear
to carry off the moisture.
A temperature above freezing until
the corn is thoroughly dry.
What ]. ]. Hill Thinks
James j. Hill says that by the use
of good seed alone, millions of dol
lars can be added to the agricultural
products of the state. Mr.. Hill makes
this statement in answer to request
for an opinion as to the value OF
Seed Corn Week" He says:
IF merely the best grain produced
this season on each farm were to be
used as seed the coming season, mil
lions of dollars would be added to the
value of the agricultural product OF

the state. Here is an element Of
wealth easily within reach, costing
practically nothing, and very general
~ ignored.
''The best authorities agree that the
total of the crops raised from seed IN
the United States might be doubled
by improved methods of farming. To
do this would add S4,O00,0O0,000 to
$4,000, 100000 to the nations wealth
and the resources of its farm popu-
lation. And one of the most impor-
tant means to this end is the plant
ing of good seed.
Careful fertilization, thorough and
repeated cultivation, first elements OF
success for the farmer though they
are, cannot, of course, grow a good
crop from poor seed. And of all the
influences that keep the farmers of
this country from realizing the full
benefits of their labor, inferior seed
is one of the most powerful.
"Since the general observance Of
Seed Corn Week will tend to draw
attention to the need and the posi-
bility Of good seed, | am heartily IN
sympathy with the effort that is be-
ing made to secure its success The
picking out of good seed corn at the
proper time in September, according
to the simple rules laid down for Sc
lection, and proper care, might mean
gain of good many million dollars
next year for Minnesota"

Will Not Organize
Club This Season
Believed Season Too Far Advanced
To Make Organization of Local
Gun Club Advisable

Several of the sportsmen of the city
gathered at the Carl Reynolds farm
Sunday forenoon with the view to
organizing gun club. The meeting
had been called by Hugh Swain and
although few turned out, the propo-
sition was discussed. 1t was finally
decided that owing to the lateness
of the season it was advisable not to
organize this year, but to get together
next year at an earlier date and form
permanent organization.
While the boys were there the trap
was set up and shoot was enjoyed.
Each one was allowed twenty-five
blue rocks and although no large
scores were made each was satisfied
with his share of kills.
After the regular shoot pool was
made up and the first prize afforded
an interesting contest between Collins
and Lauterbach with the former final
ly winning.

Selection Not Simple

Selection Not Simple
Seed corn selecting is not the SIM
pie thing it looks. 1t is something of
an art, or game that must be PLAYED
right in order to get the best results.
says c. P. Bull, Department of Agri-
culture, University of Minnesota. The
man gathering seed corn needs to
know:
When to select.
Where to select.
What to select.
How much to select.
What to do with what he selects.
Seed corn should be selected early,
adcs Mr.. Bull, with emphasis on the
early. The corn growing season is
Shorter in Minnesota than it is in
Iowa or Illinois. Corn has less time
to r.pen here than it has there. There
fore, if one would get seed that will
give corn that will ripen before frost
time. he must select seed that has
ripened before that time. There is
only one way to be sure of this, and
that is to go into the fields before
time for killing frost and get the
right kind of ears that are ripe al
that time.
How to Select
The place to select seed corn is in
II
the fields of standing corn, not in the
corncrib along about spring seeding
time. or after the corn is in the shock
If one selects corn from the crib-af-
ter feeding from it through the win
ter--he gets culled corn, and the plant
ing of culled corn gives crop of culls.
Selecting from the shock will not do.
for if there has been no killing frost
by the time the corn is CUT one
may select ears that have matured
after the usual time for killing frosts
and hence get seed that will not ripen
quite early enough the next fall. Or.
If there has been killing frost, he
may get ears that have suffered from
the frost and will not terminate. The
place to select then is in the field of
standing corn.
What to Select
What to select: Ears that are not
too large to mature early. For south
ern Minnesota dent corn should be
approximately from 81 to 9 inches
long and from to Z inches in circum-
ference when dry In northern Min
nesota the size may be reduced to
Z inches in length and 5A inches in
circumference These are as large

PROCLAMATION

Minnesota is now producing nearly
100000 acres of corn annually. Last
year it's corn product was worth near
lyS51 100000. The yield of corn Sc
cured by Minnesota farmers last year
was surpassed by that of only one
other state. 1t went ahead of all the
old Corn Belt" states.
This distinction was won in part
through the influence of Seed Corn
Week, observed for the last four years.
Good seed corn is important in ev-
cry state, but, according to the Col
lege of Agriculture, it is especially
important in Minnesota, because va
rieties of corn must be planted that
will mature in from one hundred to
one hundred twenty days. Minnesota
cannot successfully depend upon i'm
porting seed corn. The best seed
corn for Minnesota farmers is care
fully selected seed corn that has been
produced on their own farms. In the
five years from 1904 to 1908 the aver
age yield of corn in Minnesota was
29.8 bushels. In the succeeding five
years it was 35.1 bushels. Good seed
corn in Minnesota may easily mean
another five bushels added to the
average yield. This will be worth
to the state at least S10,000,000 an
nually, or more than $50 to the farm.
| therefore heartily endorse the cam
paign for the careful selection OF
seed corn being made by the Mime
sofa College of Agriculture, and here
by appoint the week of September
14-19, 1914, inclusive as
SEED CORN WEEK.
l earnestly join the college in urg-
ing that every corn-grower in Min
nesota shall on at least one day of
the week designated make it his spec
ial duty to GO through his corn field
and select for seed the best ears from
his sturdiest stalks, selecting and stor-
ing them after the plan outlined in
Extension Bulletin No, 9, which may
be had by writing the Agricultural
Extension Division, University Farm,
