cording to the Sheet Metala Workers
and the Wheelinga Building Trades
Section. The former organization has
filed its complaint with the Ohio Val
ley Trades and Labor Assembly, and
that body will ltake up the matter at
its next meeting.
The building organizations contend
that Beuter. who is-nf the 1zlaeali-as.
Metal and Manufacturing company,
was roofing his building out the pike
with men not members of the union,
and that he refused to have them join
or have union men do the work. They
appealed to the Building Trades Sec.
ton, and a committee from that body
was unable to induce Mr.. Beuter to
see it from their point of view. Ac-
cordingly all work on the building has
been held up

Filters
Trouble Settled

The trouble with the Sprinkler Fit
tiers has been settled. Our readers
will recall that it was previously pub
lished that the Building Trades Sec
ton had called all men off the Wag-
ne rbuilding because the Sprinkler
Filters did not have working cards.
Appeal to headuarters brought the in
formation that these men had recent
~ peen organized, and they were in
structed to take out Wheeling build
in gcards while working here. This
was done, and the other craftsmen
returned, to, work, all. resuming last
Monday. Organizer Leonard was here
representing the International Associa-
ton of Journeymen Plumbers, Gas
and Steam Filters, from Chicago.

SEED CORN WILL
Be HIGH PRICED

Good seed corn will he scarce and
bigh1priced next spring." says director
C. R. Titlow, of the Agricultural Elk
tension Department after having tour
ed the agricultural sections of eleven
Of the big corn producing states. "A
cold, late spring, abnormally cool sum-
mer weather and excessive rainfall
have delayed the corn crop to sucn an
extent that it is now evident that
hundreds of thousands of bushels will
not mature before frost. West Vir-
ginia farmers have been somewhat
more fortunate in. this respect than
have farmers in neighIboring states
and the demand for good seed will
probably be heavy"
Every farmer Who has a crop OF
well matured, high grade corn should
take extra care to select all the best
ears and properly store them for seed
next spring; if he has more than is
required for his own fields, he can
easily sell the surplus.
Field selection enables the farmer
topick out good ears that have grown
under normal conditions-that it, IN
a hill containing the usual number OF
stalks and in soil of average fertility
1t also enables him to avoid taking
ears from hills containing barren
stalks and has many other adVan'
tages.
Properly storing the corn for win
ter is just as important as field selec
ton. The main point is to have the
corn thoroughly dried out before
heavy freezing weather sets in. 1t If
the freezing and thawing OF the ex
cess moisture in the kernel, that IN
pures its growing qualities. The prac
tice Of hanging corn up by the husKs
or with cords is a good one, since j
allows a free circulation OF ar

BOYS Corn Clubs
Carefully Organized

Ten men are giving their entire
time this summer to the organization
and supervision of 101 corn clubs in
West Virginia school districts.
When the corn club work was first
startde the organization of the local
clubs was necessarily rather loose
there were too many members to han
die and too few leaders to be found
1t has been repeatedly demonstrated
that it is much better to get ten boys
to carry a crop successfully through
to the harvest than to have fifty boys
start a crop and then drop out along
the wayside. For this reason the
supervision has been made closer and
closer from year to year and now it
has arrived at the point where paid
leader devotes all his time during
the summer and one or two days a
week during the spring months, to the
corn club work of single school dis
trict.
Under this arrangement, some ex'
cellent results have been obtained
The interest of the boys can be main
tanned throughout the entire season
and the crop successfully matured
and harvested. Moreover, the leader
can give a certain amount of time to
ward arousing the interest of the par
ents of the club members and many
a farmer is brought to use better cul
ture and genera farming methods
