or long between joints, whether the
ear is located too high or too low, and
whether it is vigorous or spindling
and has good leaf development.
In other words it is of paramount
Importance that the ear have plenty
to draw for its supply of plant food.
When we find stalk that, under av-
erage conditions, bears an ear Of ex-
ceptional quality above the average
in the field, we snap it and carry it
to the corn house and hang it up to
dry so thoroughly that the first hard
freeze will not injure Its terminating
qualities.
Practical experience, as well as the
testimony of many of the best corn
from the stalk as soon as 1t is glazed
or even before, shows a great vigor
after planting, as do the ears that are
left on the stalk until the entire crop
is fit to husk.
Such experiments and testimony
seem to justify us in taking advantage
of the early maturing ears and those
that are less mature, If they possess
many of the more desirable character
istics.
Some authorities seem to favor
marking the desirable ears and leav-
ing them on the stalk Which is right
am not able to affirm, although
have never noted any i'll effects from
selecting my seed corn from the field
early in the season.

Courage Of Georges Carpenter

American Fight Fans Thought He Had

With Billy Papke.

Most American followers Of box
ing have always had an idea that
Georges Carpenter, heavyweight
champion of Europe and greatest idol
in the history of French sports, has
every qualification of boxing cham
pion with the exception of gameness.
This was particularly impressed O.
their minds when he quit to Bill
Papke, former worlds middleweight
champion, in II rounds in Paris a
few years ago. However, this idea
has been proved false since the great
est European war started. Carpen-
tiers European record in the big
struggle has shown him to be man
of unusual courage.
Within Gun Range.
During the early months of the war
Carpenter was used as messenger.
It was his duty to carry messages On
a motorcycle from one general to an
other. Often he was obliged to come
mighty close to the enemy's guns-in
fact, near enough to forfeit his life II
he came in the path Of stray bullets
as he was frequently within range.
What do you think he is doing
now? And it Is the supreme test OF
courage. He is plotting one Of those
airships that have to go up many

Selecting seed corn from the stalk
In the field is the only way l know
of to have seed that possesses the
characteristics we desire represented
In the seed ear.
It is possible to select from the
wagon at husking time as large and
perfect ears as from the fields, but it
lis clear that IL we are to understand
the type and character of the leaf and
stalk, and early or later maturity, we
must study the ear and the stalk be-
fore the ear is removed from the
parent plant.
For a number of years have prac-
ficed the various ways of selecting
and storing seed corn from the
wagons at husking time when unload
ing at the crib, from the stalk when
husking and from the field soon after
the corn is matured, and the most
thoroughly ripened ears have dry
husks.
Fairly seed selection from the field
is the ideal time for us to take advan-
tage of the great law of like producing
like. so far as 1t holds good. By care
fully studying the whole plant it is
possible to select ears that embody
the most desirable features we wish
to breed in our corn.
It. is not only important that we
have good ears of uniform size, form
and color and so on, but we want
a vigorous stalk for them to grow on.
We want to know whether it is short

got Davies, now one of the Ath-
letics' young outfielders.
IT got tip about Davies last
year." says Doyle, land I
watched him in several games
up in New England. Then / fol-
lowed him to his home in New
Hampshire and decided to sign
him for Comiskey.
GAS Davies was under age,
had to call in his relatives to
witness and approve the con-
tract. His father, mother, Sis
tiers, brothers, cousins and aunts
were all there when I fished out
the document. Then, to my as

ME Mack had signed Davies
when he was seven years old,

Drying seed corn is even more i'm
sportant 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
avoid danger from early frost, select
the most mature ears in the field
and dry thoroughly at once. If a
neighbor's corn of seed variety ripens

First on yearling boar.
First and second boar under one

Second on boar under six months.
First and second on aged sows.
First and second on yearlng sows.

This with very strong competition
from the herd which is going to the

entries made Mr.. Brown secured first
on seven and second on the other en-
try, which is certainly very good
record for Crawford county. Mr..
