BY PROF. P. G. HOLDEN, Director
Agricultural Department lnterna-
tionaI Harvester Co. Of New Jersey.
A good sized ear is essential to q
good yield. 1t indicates that the a
comes from a strong, vigorous, healthy
stalk and that in turn it win produce
stalks and ears having a strong o
stitution and hardness. No one would
think of selecting for seed small,
weak, puny-looking ears. Corn has
been bred for the grain or ear until
the proportion of corr to stalk is abb
normally high and consequently the
tendency is for the ear to become
smaller unless we select larger ears
than We expect in the average of the
crop.
Select Medium Sized Ears.
On the other hand, the greater dan
ger lies in selecting too large ears
and too large types of corn, and this is
especially true OF the northern half Of
the corn belt. For every dollar lost
by growing corn that is too small or
too early there are ten to twenty dol
lars lost from growing corn that is too
large and too late in maturing. If the
season is late and cold, or the frosts
come too early, or if the seed is plant
ed lated in the spring, the grower has
a lot of soft, chaffy, moldy, light corn.
In addition to this it is very difficult
to secure good seed from such corn
for next years crop. 1t is certain to
be more or less frozen, moldy and
weak, and to result in a poor stand
and a poor crop Large, sappy, i'm
mature ears fill the wagon-box rapidly.
and we deceive ourselves into think
ing that we are getting a large YIELD.
Corn Of this kind often contains from
3S to 40 per cent of water. When the
orn dries 1t is loose on the cob, chaffy
and light. The little cells in the kerr
nels are only partially filled with food
and are dull and chalky, or starchy,
instead of bright, hard, heavy and
rich in appearance.
The oorn is apt to spoil, especially
in the bottom of the crib, l. e., burns
out, and It is unpaIatable to stock The
grower of such corr is required to sell
at a greatly reduced price. What we
want is corn that win be safe every
year. Remember that two small ears
weighing but ten ounces each, to each
hill will make GA bushels per acre, or
double the average yield. Three Of
them will give nearly 100 bushels per
acre.
This indicates full maturity, good
quality, feeding value and yield
Large ears will generally have larg-
er and deeper kernels, Short, bunchy
ears are certain to have deeper ker-
nels than long, slim ears. AS a on
sequence the planter cannot be ad-
justed to give a uniform drop.
If we have large and small ears,
bunchy end slim ears, deep kerneled
and shallow kerneled ears we shall
not only have u%nevenness In size ana
shape OF kernels, but we shall also
have a great variation in time OF ma
turity, some stalks bearing early and
some late, and some having high ears
and some low.

Shortly after noon Tuesday, Her
man Ulrich, of the Hemlock, Resort
phoned into town that the main lodge
was ON fire and asking for assistance
in saving the other buildings. All
the autos in town we're requisitioned
and filled with men and went out
followed by some teams. The dis
tance of four miles and strong wind

main building, ice house and two cot
tages that were to the left. They
succeeded in keeping the flames from
the remaining cottages and also saved
numerous articles of value including
new automobile. Mr.. Ulrich had
been cleaning up the grounds and
burning rubbish from which the fire
started by getting under the porch
where it gained start before being
discovered. Although the loss is 9

Dan Cupid Wins Victories.

A pretty home wedding took place
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. W II.
Dyer, Wednesday morning, when
their daughter VERNE, became the
wife Of Albert Finch, Rev. Schmitt
performing the ceremony. A we'd
ding breakfast was served to the
guests, only relatives being present.
The principals then took the south
bound train for bridal trip to Grand
Rapids, Mich. They were seen safe
ly aboard by number of friends and
musical accompaniment. The bride
is one of Eagle Rivers popular young
ladies and a teacher by profession.
1t was while teaching at Phelps that
this romance began, Mr.. Finch hold
ing a responsible position with the
Company at Phelps which place will
be their home. They make the sec
ond couple of the year who will get
the Review free for year There is
still another couple to secure
this prize, and necessary article OF
successful housekeeping, and we feel
pretty sure about who that is going
to be.
A. T. Pickel, of Amigo, who makes
this town regularly for the Kickbush
wholesale grocery house of Wausau,
arrived on schedule Tuesday accom-
panied by his wife of a few hours.
They were assigned one of the bridal
suites at the Commercial House
which they occupied that night.
Their slumbers before midnight were
rudely broken and in1erfered with by
several of MIR. Pickel's brother
knights OF The Sample Case, who
violently insisted that he get up and
go down to Hirzels or any other con-
venient place and properly square
himself with the bunch. lie bravely
refused to do this for which we
give him much credit-and told
them he would see them in the morn
ing That did not quiet the deprayed
wretches and finally worn 10 desper-
alton for lack of sleep, he flung a
twenty dollar bill through the transom
ard told them TO 60 TO it, which they
did, Tor wnen they got back with tie
change there wasn't enough left to
buy a postage stamp. The bride
groom said next morning that he had
known tor long time thai the tray
cling men making the Aonico Wat
ersneet territory. We're a Cough lot,
and he was glad an opportunity had
come through his marriage TO break
off all connection with them in, q
social way. Frank 'Mclntyre ana
Doc Meyer got so nervous over the
uproar, or.sompthing, that they got.
up anu took turns watching the fires
all night Mr.. and ,ars. Pickel were
also included in tie serenade given
at the train next morning.
