SPANISH ARE SENSITIVE
Can't Send a Warship to Formal
Opening of Panama Canal

Madrid, Jan. 21-A cabinet meet
ing presided over by King Alfonso
decided yesterday not to send the bat
tleship Espano to the Panama canal
opening. It is said that when the
government agreed to send the Es-
pano it was not aware that Admiral
Dewey would be present at the cere-
mony. Learning this, the govern
ment became apprehensive that the
presence of the American admiral
might occasion some manifestation
which would be unpleasant for the
Spanish sailors and after certain ne
gotiations the government concluded
it would be better to withdraw from
its original agreement.

select ears so large that they will not
mature. he is the loser thereby.
II has been learned, by many tests,
that ears Of certain form yield more
than other ears different from the
standard form. Ears OF corn likely to
give best results carry the butt dame
ter well towards the tip; they are free
from indentations or other irregulari-
ties that would tend to decrease the
yield of the ear: they have straight,
regular rows OF uniform kernels, and
have kernels extended well over the
tip and butt.
1t costs Just as much to grow an ear
OF corn that has kernels covering
three-fourths OF the cob as it does to,
grow one with kernels covering the
whole cob. The kernel contains most
OF the feeding value. The cob is Of
very little value as food, hence the
rows OF kernels should round well
down over the butt and extend well
over the tip mot necessarily clear
over thus insuring good proportion
OF corn 10 cob The rows should run
straight from the butt to the tip; be
cause, in crooked rows. there are
more irregular kernels, and kernels Of
irregular size make it impossible to
plant uniform number in each hill.
To get the most feeding value out
OF an ear of corn there should be no
space between the kernels at the cob
1t is the tip Of the kerneI-the end that
contains the germ-that is richest in
food nutrient. Pointed, chaffy tips in
dicate low feeding value and poor
terminating power Every precautiop
should be exercised TO select seed corn
that will grow and produce strong, Wig
orous plants. Space between the ker.
nels at the cob, and lack OF furrow,
usually indicate a low proportion OF
corn to the cob, immaturity and poor
vitality. The tip of the kernel should
be wide, allowing room for a long,
broad and deep germ.
Nothing will aid more in making .
high yield of shelled corn than deep,
well-formed kernel. But do not select
too deep kernel, because the deeper
the kernel. the greater is the length O,
time required TO mature It; and. above
all other things. maturity is the first
consideration. To secure uniform
planting, the kernels of selected seed
corn must be all or nearly the same
size. not only on one ear, but through
out the whole selection.

not be made from the shock. or from
the field late in the fall, is that one
is not able to tell the time the ear
matured.
Desirable ears may mature ten or fif.
teen days later than the average
freezing time; and, II those are select.
ed, they will insure a late-maturing
crop. Again, II corn is left unhusked
until late, the husks prevent the ear
from drying out properly: and, as a
consequence, 1t is likely to be frozen
befu II is husked, or at least before
it has had time to dry out after husk.
ing.
In the choice of corn for seed. one
selects the ears that he believes will
give him the largest yield of good corn
the following year. 1t is a good plan
to choose an ear OF corn that is as
near the type wanted as possible: then
keep this ear from year to year, or un.
til you get better one. At any rate
have a sample ear that you can look at
occasionally to help you in following
one type. Keep this type-ear handy
when selecting corn in the fall and
in the spring, when the final selection
is made, II is well to compare all ears
carefully with the type-ear.
A common practice is to select ears
that are too large. It is much better
to grow three medium-sized mature
ears to the hill than 1t is to grow three
larger immature ears per hill As a
general rule. the larger the cob and
the deeper the kernel. the longer it
will take the ear to mature.
Indications of maturity are looseness
OF kernels on the cob, high percent
age Of moisture, chafIiness Tor thin.
small. poorly developed kernelsl, ad-
herence OF the tip cap to the cob, and
generally large amount of white
starch.
1t may be we'll to emphasize the fact
again that many are inclined to select
ears that are too large. This is a very
natural thing to do. because everyone
likes large ears of corn better than
small ones; but It is yield per acre
rather than large ears that determine
croft. And If one allows himself to
