Get Seed Corn in Field.

Although good part OF Frederick
county's crop of yellow corn has already
been cut. County Farm Demonstrators
Z. c. Remsberg calls special attention TO
The fact that seed corn for next years
planting should be gotten on the stalk
before it is harvested by going into the
field with a sack, and getting the best
ears from the best stalks.
The Governor OF Minnesota just few
days ago issued proclamation. in which
he urged the farmers of the State to Sc
lect the seed corn in this way This is
the best way to select the seed corn. Mr..
Remsbere said, but the farmers have
very seldam followed out the plan in this
county. He advised that double amount
of corn be taken, and then one-half Of
the seed be selected and held for next
years planting.
The crop this year is described as be
ing fair. The weld, like that Of the
sweet corn. is not quite as good as could
be expected from the fine appearance of
the stalks in the fields. In different parts
of the county, reports come that the
farmers are busily engaged in cutting the
present years crop.

have elected congressman in the Sec
ond, Fourth, Fifth. Sixth, Seventh
and Eighth districts
Republican Ticket Safe.
The entire Republican state ticket
is regarded as safely within the har-
Dor, by virtue of the landslide to Re-
publicanism by Kansas voters. The
Capper plurality promises to surpass
that of w. r. Stubbs in 1908, when
the state piled up the largest Republi-
can majority since the Roosevelt wave
swept Kansas in 1904. Capper is the
first native Kansan to win an election
to the governorship.
Mason, Marshall, Dawson.
Based on perhaps more than one
third Of the vote on justices of the
supreme court, Associate Justice
Henry F. Mason is this afternoon
high man in the race for one OF the
three places on the supreme bench.
Justice Mason's vote is 52.o61 on votes
reported.
John Marshall of Topeka is second in
the race for justice of the supreme
court, with total of 50.224. John S.
Dawson, attorney general, is third.
His total vote is 1892. Col. Ed C. Lit
tie Of Kansas, is fourth with 1851.
On returns received concerning the
judiciary fight, it is probable that
Justice Alfred wv Benson is defeated.
His total vote is 41,6O5, putting him
fifth in the race.
Mrs Lizzie S. Sheldon. the woman
candidate for judge, is holding sixth
place, with little chance that she will
improve her standing. Her total vote
to date is 1924.
LeavenwOrth's Jolt.
LeavenwOrth county gave Dawson an
awful jolt. The voters of that county
several thousand of them at least
remembered his crusade against the
Leavenworth county joints and the at
torney general is sixth in the running
in that county. The LeavenwOrth
county vote on supreme judges, as re-
ported, is: Little. 2,726; Mason. 1858;
Marshall. 2.143: Benson. 2,071; Sheldon.
1909; and Dawson. 1.210.
No Amendment News.
No news las been received as to
the success or failure of either Of the

Republicans claim control of the
state legislature, based on defeat of
q number of Democrats seeking re-
election. Miles H. Mulroy of Ellis,

Against this shock to the Democrats

the complete eclipse Of the Progressives
also became apparent.

Frederick Davenport, Progressive,
polled only 52.792 votes for governor

didate for governor in 1912, polled 56.-
71S votes. Strobel was the candidate
this year and If he has run as well as
did Russell, the Socialist vote exceeds
that of the Progressives. The Socialists
claim their vote this year will total
$4,000. which would establish them well
ahead of the Progressives.

The senatorial fights in Nevada, Kan

both the senate and house will be con-
