Drying seed corn is even more i'm
portant than selection this fall. If
frozen with as much moisture as it
seems likely to contain when the first
freezing comes, it may be almost
worthless as seed next spring. To

the most mature ears in the field
and dry thoroughly at once. If a
neighbor's corn Of seed variety ripens
earlier arrange to pick in his field.
Seed grown in the locality in which
it is to be planted is always to be
chosen in preference to that shipped
in from a distance.
Air-drying in the sunshine is slow

ward Of their bravery, was Sergeant
Heaney, of Kings Own Royal Ian

tion two days after being promoted
lieutenant and recommended for the

exploit which saved an entire division.
The Royal Lancasters have been con
tinuously in the firing line since the
outbreak of the war, and with every
man performing prodigies of valor it
was difficult to single out particular
acts of courage. Heaney's chance came
one day, when the situation as regards
food supplies for his division was be-
coming desperate. For ten whole days
the roads from the trenches TO the sup
ply depot had been rendered impas-
sable by the hail of shells rained upon
by the enemy, and no fresh provisions
could be got to the troops in the firing
line.
Heaney went to his major and Of

rain and shells and bring back food.
He did not say he would try. He said
he would 60 and fetch the provisions.
