Much Barnes County Corn
Now Approaching Maturity

While the summer of 1915 has been
decidedly unfavorable for corn, there
are at present in Barnes county a
large number of fields of dent corn ap-
preaching maturity and on few
farms corn has practically matured.
Mature corn in a year like this has
been brought about by the use Of
home grown seed and thorough culti-
walton.
The results obtained this year
through the use of ome-grown seed
should further emphasize the import
ance Of field selection of seed corn.
The care and selection that has been
given seed corn during the past few
years on many of the farms in the
county has resulted in the develop
ment of early maturing strains Of corn
and in order to preserve these strains
the farmers should select seed from
those fields Of early corn even if the
corn is not matured by the time the
leaves have been killed by the frost.
Referring directly to this phase Of
corn selection. Circular No. 8 Of the
North Dakota experiment station has
the following to say on "seed Corn
Selection in the Fall of 1872:
IN a year like 1915 when every
growing day is needed to mature a
sufficient quantity Of seed, picking
should be delayed until after the
leaves have been killed by the frost.
A light frost will not injure the germ
materially and the increase in the val
ue Of the seed due to it's more mature
!, condition. will largely Offset any de-
crease due to light frost. AS soon as

factions of the county, supporters IN
this campaign of Patterson, Lea and
the speaker. 1t came from all sec
lions of the county and was very
largely made up of voters, there be-
ing comparatively few women pres
ent.
While it could not be stated that
the audience was uproarously respon-
sive or unusually enthusiastic, 1t gave
the distinguished speaker a most cor
dial hearing and his telling points
we're frequently and vigorously ap-
plauded. The audience was made up
of the first citizens of the city and
county and the great majority stayed
until the close of the speech.

George Taylor Hughes, brilliant
young member of the local bar, who
made one of the best Introductory

that Mcclellan, "a man against whose

democrats.
Representative Mcclellan prefaced
his remarks by expressing pleasure
at his first visit to Columbia. He
paid high tribute to the great places
in history attained by the sons Of this
county. A neat compliment was paid
by the speaker to DR.. Biddle, who at
tended school in Alabama, and to
Mayor Dedman, whom the speaker in.
advertently referred to as Captain"
Dedman, when His Honor's military
entitlements warrant his being called
Colonel"
The first vigorous applause of the
speech came at the close of a beau
tiful eulogy to this county's great SEN
ator and editor, Edward Ward Car
mack. He spoke feelingly of his ear
ly association with Mr.. Carmack and
of his deep love for the martyred
statesman.
First, Congressman spoke of his
own record in the congress of the ma
ton, then of his platform, next he
devoted his attention to the alleged
sins Of omission and commission of
his opponents.

The speech did not materially diff
fer from those delivered at other
places. Before the exercises began,
DR.. J. c. Molloy, who had been Mr..
McKellar's pastor In Memphis, deliv-
cred a prayer. A dozen prominent
citizens of the county were seated on
the platform.
Every seat on the first floor was
occupied and the standing space
around the walls and in some of the
aisles was entirely taken up.
The speech unQuestionably made q
decidedly favorable impression and
won friends for Mr.. McKellar.

that only three months of the former
period were embraced in the time of
the European war, while all of the
latter period has expired during the
war, this showing is indeed most
remarkable one and proves the de-
mand that always exists for lands in
this county The transfers for this
year have averaged over $15O,OO0 per
month or at the rate of $1,000 900 for
the year. Last year they averaged
only $4,000 per month. This should

Lucy became conscious Of a pair of
basilisk eyes transixing her from

ATTACH WHISTLES TO PIGEON
Ingenious Idea of Chinese Results in

Air Concerts.

One of the most curious expressions

plication Of whistles to a flock OF
pigeons. These Whistles, very light.
weighing hardly few grams, are at
tached to the tails Of young pigeons
soon after their birA. by means of a
fine copper wire, 50 that when the
birds fly the wind vill blow through
the Whistles and sea them vibrating,
thus producing an open-air concert,
for the instruments in one and the
same flock are all tuned differently
There are two distinct types of
whistles those consisting of bamboo
tubes placed side by side, and a type
placed on the principle Of tubes at
tached to gourd body or wind chest.
They are lacquered in yellow, brown,
red and black to protect the material
from destructive influences Of the at
mosphere. The tube-whistles have
either two, three or five tubes. In
some specimens the five tubes are
made Of OK horn instead of bamboo
The gourd whistles are furnished
with a mouthpiece. and small aper-
lures to the number Of two, three. six,
ten and even thirteen. Certain among
them have besides number of bam-
boo tubes. some on the principal
mouthpiece, some arranged around il.
These varieties are distinguished by
different names. Thus a whistle with
