Importance of Good Seed Corn Described
j. s. Helms Speaks Before Center Farmers

In his lecture on "The Importance
OF an Ear of Corn" J. 8. Helms, local
corn expert. told the farmers at Cen
terville Institute of the individual val
ue of the ear of seed corn.
Mr.. Helms said the farmer in select.
ing his seed corn or the judge in plac-
ing the awards in a contest should
ask himself the following questions
about each ear of corn:
Will it grow? Will 1t mature? VIII,
it yield? Does it show breeding?
Mr.. Helms said that the weight Of
the ear, depth of the kernel. color of
the grain, and the size of the germ
were all influencing factors in select
ing the best seed corn.
Describes Selection.
In the afternoon session Mr. Helms
of Seed Corn" He told the farmers
of the methods he followed in select
ing the seed by which he had develop
ed his famous strain Of Reds Yellow
Dent corn, from which he raised the
ear that won the national trophy cup
two years ago.
when get ready to select my seed
corn, l hang a sack over my shoulder,
and go through my seed plot, selecting
the matured ears from the individual
ear rows in the plot. ! select only
typical ears from typical stalks" he
said.
Few of us realize the importance
of caring for the seed corn after it is
picked" said Mr.. Helms. AT frost
time the corn is usually heavily satu-
rated with moisture, and breaking it

weather changes will have the same
effect. At this stage. corn will germi-
nate very easily if stored in a warm
place without ventilation. This slight
termination can not be detected BY
the eye, and many farmers have pick
ed seed corn, stored 1t in a warm room
and then wondered why it failed to
terminate or showed only a weak
sprout when tested in the spring.
Seed Must Mature.
Seed corn to be at Its best must
be thoroughly matured, picked before
freezing weather sets in, and stored
in a place where it will not get too
much heat 1t should not be placed in
the sun. in a closed room, or stored
close under a hot roof. Seed corn
should be thoroughly dried before zero
weather sets in.
THE results of poor seed are miss
ing hills in the field, barren stalks and
nubbins. The latter failures are caus-
er by using seed of weak germinative
powers.
Many corn growers think that All

with the May future selling from $1.5S
down to $3.50, on liquidation by longs.
and the execution OF stopless orders.
From the lowest levels there was an

resting spot for the day. The close on
Thursday for the May future was
$1.59h. July sold at $1.34 down sharp
ly to $1.2sN. and closed at $3.50. or
&c below the closing Of Thursday. The
fact that the margin calls are excessive.
commission houses requiring 25c a
bushel on the May future, and as much
as IL cents on the July, caused many
interested traders to dump their hold
ings as they feared that more losses
faced them. Corn closed at h@Ac

products were lower all around. Cash
sales here were small-1O,00 bushel
Of wheat. $4,000 bushel of corn and

100000 APPROPRIATIONS BILL
WORRIES DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
Plan to Rush Measure Through Both House. Abandoned
Friends Of Jones' Primary Bill Rally and Line Up for De-
termined Stand for Enactment Of Measure

reference bureau failed In the COM
mittee composed of Senators Yarling,
Culbertson and J. R. Fleming. 1t was
the concensus Of opinion that the com
mittee would find no reason for doing
away with Mr.. Laps Job.
In order to present q united front
when the time comes for action, the
supporters Of the Jones primary bill
met at the Claypool hotel last night.
The meeting ended at midnight. after
kilograms and letters from prominen:
Democrats at Washington and from
friends Of the measure in Indiana were
read. and several speeches had been
made In favor of the primary bill. For
ty-two men attended the meeting. and
among them were a dozen Democrats
who are not legislators.
Both senators and representatives
attended the meeting. and it was de-
cided that no supplementary measures
will be considered. The Jones bill
will be pushed rs the Simon-pure Dem
ocratic platform measure. II they are
defeated, the Jones adherents decided
they would see to 1t that the people OF
the state learn just who is to blame
for not legislating on the subject in
accord with the pledge which they say
binds all Democratic legislators to en-
act q primary law.
