HILL SELECTION OF SEED CORN

Hill selection of seed is urged by
every institution interested in the i'm
provement Of corn. By selecting corn
from the standing stalks in the field
one can consider other things besides
the ear itself. The height Of the ear
on the stalk and the strength of the
stalk may both be considered, and
whether on not the ear grew on a
stalk that had a whole hill to itself
or had to compete with two or three
other stalks can be determined, while
If one waits until the corn has been
cut these factors cannot be consider.
ed.
Early selection Of seed corn from
the hill has many important advan.
tages over selection later in the sea.
son. In the first place, it enables one
to select ears that are known to have
matured at the proper time, while II
the selection is deferred and weather
conditions continue favorable, some
of the later maturing ears NAV be se.
lected, because they are likely to be
larger and heavier.
While the large heavy ears are de.
sirable, one cannot, proftably select
them at the expense Of maturity. be-.
cause corn that will not mature is
bound to be an Improbable crop.
Early selection from the hill avoids
the danger Of the corn being injured
by frost while it is still damp in the
husk. It also allows for ample time
for the corn to become thoroughly
dried out before freezing weather.

May Ask Embassy
to Explain.
SECRETARY BRYAN
TALKS WITH WILSON
Count Won BeTnstortt Says At
tache RepudIates Statement.

Washington, Sept. PAT is likely
that the state department will ask
the German embassy to explain the
reputed interview given by Baron
Won Schoen, an attache of the am
bassador's Office, in which he de-
clared that the Japanese consider in
evitable war with the United States.
Secretary Bryan discussed the inter-
view with President Wilson,
Baron Won Schoen was attached to
the German embassy in Toxic when
war was declared and was CIV
en- his passports. He recently arriv-
ed in the United States and is at
tached to the German embassy here
as one of the secretaries.
Secretary Bryan, who returned to
Washington, declined to acknowledge
he had read the baron's interview,
but it is known that administration
officials regard it as case for ac-
ton by the state department.
In some quarters it was declared
that the situation required that Baron
von Schoen be given his passports as
soon as he had acknowledged that
the Interview was authentic. On
the other hand the president may
not care to press the matter to any
length in view of the feeling it might
arouse at this time.
The administration is making
every effort TO keep not only the gov
ernment, but also the American peo-
pie in strictly neutral attitude dur
ing the war.

anniversary before because, as Miriam

was the first one where the presents
would be worth more than the

Even then they worried a good deal
for fear everybody would bring pickle
forks or butter knives. But after q

They wrote at the bottom Of the
invitations, asking the folks not to buy
presents until they got there. for the

be in the yard with a full line OF sill
