aged by insects or disease, and If The
husks extend far beyond the point of
the ear they are usually tightly closed,
so that it cannot dry out well and is
difficult to husk.
There should be a medium growth
Of broad, thrifty leaves distributed
evenly over the stalk, and the plant
should be free from all form of dis
ease, such as smut, rust, ETC., and
should be free from suckers.
The advantages Of this method of
storing are first, that it gives better
protection from mice than when it
is spread on the floor, or corded in
piles or put in racks. Second, it gives
better circulation of air, which al
lows the corn to dry out quickly and
thoroughly, thus protecting it from
molding or sWrouting and from being
frozen while it is sappy. The greatest
enemy to good seed corn is freezing
while 1t still contains moisture, con-
sequently there is more danger from
late harvesting than from too early
harvesting. However, it is not good
plan to harvest seed while the corn is
immature, as it is more difficult to
preserve, will be chaffy and give weak
er plants than corn which has been
allowed to fully mature on the stalk.

each day.

One of the very best methods for
gathering the seed is to go into the
best and earliest planted fields with
bags and select well matured ears
from the most vigorous stalks. The
cut shows convenient way to ar
range a sack so that you may have
both hands free for picking.
You must not fail to consider the
stalk in selecting your seed, for it
takes large, thrifty stalks to produce
good big ears. 1t is not a good plan
to take the ear from a stalk that
grew in a hill by Itself, or from one
in the hill with a barren or veal
stalk. Many of the kernels on such
an ear are likely to be pollenized by
the barren or weak stalk.
Choose Ears of a Medium Height
IF you select the highest ears your
corn will gradually become late, and
if you select the lowest ears you will
soon have an early corn with shallow
kernels and wide burrows between the
ro~s.
Pick ears that droop over so that
their tips are turned downward. Such
ears shed water better when it rains
and are usually drier than ears stand
ing upright. The shank should be
short, as ears with long shanks are
harder to husk, and are more often
damaged. See that the husks are long
enough to cover the tip Of the ear,
but do not extend far beyond. If the
tip is left bare, it is likely to be dam

Tie and hang up the seed the same
day or evening that it is brought in.
This method of tying up allows free
circulation of air. 1t is circulation Of
air, not heat, that is needed to dry
out the seed. Corn commonly contains
. at this time from 80 to As per cent Of
water. 1t requires but few minutes
to tie up 300 or 400 ears.

mediate action may be secured in the
case of the state against the estate ol
the late E. H. Hartman if course
suggested by former Governor Haw-
ley, who is counsel for the Harrimans
in the suit, is followed. He has sug-
gested that the state ask for judgment
on the pleadings.
The case is now in the probate
court. Should the plan outlined by
the former governor be followed 1t
would mean that an appeal might
Immediately be taken to the district
court, thus obviating the delay that
would be necessitated by hearing on
the facts in the probate court.
TO Highest Tribunal
While trial might be necessary in
the district court, the way to the
supreme court of the state would be
considerably shortened. The case Will
probably go to the United States SUI
preme court before it is ultimately
settled.
Action is Novel
The suit of the state is regarded
as novel one in the history of juris
prudence. 1t was filed by Captain
Davis, representative of Attorney Gen
eral Peterson. Judgment for approxi-
mately one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars was asked as an inherit
ance or transfer tax against the Har-
riman estate.
The late railroad magnate owned
controlling interest in the Union Pa
cifc railroad. The Union Pacific il
turn controlled the stock of the Ore
gon Short Line, though Mr.. Harri-
man himself owned none OF the Short
Line stock. The state, however, has
attempted to show his indirect inter
est in the Short Line and collect an
inheritance tax for Idaho against that
interest

FACTS REGARDING WEED SEED
North Dakota Experiment Station
Makes Interesting Test With Diff
ferent Noxlous Plants.

In a weed experiment at the North
Dakota experiment station. seeds Of
French weed, green foxtail, kinghead,
wild mustard, wild buckwheat, and
wild oats were planted at depths of
one, two, three, five, seven and ten
inches. The greatest depth from which
French weed came up was two inches;
green foxtail, three inches; klnghead,
mostly from two and three inches, a
few from five inches; wild mustard,
three inches; wild buckwheat, three
inches; wild oats, few from five
inches.
The next year few French weeds
came up from the one and two-inch
depths; no green foxtail; few king
head from the one TO five-inch depths;
no wild mustard or wild buckwheat.
and a few wild oats from the two-inch
depth.
In five years the seeds were dug up.
None of the seeds at the one and
two-inch depths were left. A few
of the French weed seeds at the seven
and ten-inch depths grew. OF the green
foxtail, one seed from the flve-inch
depth grew, and one-sixteenth of those
buried ten inches terminated. OF the
kinghead, only few of the seeds from
the ten-inch depth grew. OF the wild
mustard. a few of the three-inch
depth and nearly half OF those buried
ten inches grew. and one-fourth Of
those from the seven-inch depth. All
of the wild oats and wild buckwheat
seeds were dead.

Dry, well-drained and well-kept feed
lots assist greatly in keeping the cows
clean. hence, also in producing clean
milk. Where cows are compelled to
stand all day in wet or muddy feed
lot, unless much care is used, the eve
ming milk will be far from pure. A
naturally high, dry and well-drained
location is advisable for the feed lot
during winter and spring. and If 1t can
be graded and stoned 1t is much better.
1t Is preferable to have the feeding
pens provided with feed racks, in place
of feeding on the ground, as the cow
is very clearly animal, and will not
readily eat soiled food IL 1t can be
avoided.
