impressions of the convention, Mr..
Rice says:
What interested me most was
the display of modern oad-build-

Guiding exhibits of several large
manufacturers and sales companie.(
and the exhibits of material for
road construction; also the "bou.

If the Kauai Chamber of Com
merce expects to have a delegate
at the next annual Good Roads
Congress, it might be we'll to plan
Immediately for an exhibit similar
to the exhibit. of the State of New
York, the State of Arizona, and
others. These exhibits consisted
of photographs of roads, before
and after improvement or paving,
showing changes ofgrades changes
in types of BRIDGES, in surfaces of
roads, etc. Such an exhibit could
be prepared at a minimum of cost
by having the photogl apis taken
with an ordinary kodak and en-
largemeuts made from the good
negatives. An exhibit of this kind
costs comparatively little, bu
draws considerable attention and
is effective as an illustration of the
progress of a community. 4"

GOOD SEED EARS.

and, with an ear of the type desired in
mind or in hand. the lot should be ex-
amined and all undesirable ears elimi-
mated. The seed thus selected should
be transferred to a box or barrel and
covered with wire gauZe to permit
thorough ventilation and yet keep out
rats and mice. Store the barrel or box
in some dry place until the seed is
wanted for planting
Selections should be made from
stalks Of fairly good size and of me-
dunn height. which have good root and
leaf development. The ears should be
held at uniform height of three to four
feet from the ground and should be at
tached to the stalks by strong shanks
Of moderate length. When the land is
Of such fertility as to yield twenty to
forty bushels Of shelled corn to the
acre selection should be made from
stalks bearing two good sized ears to
the stalk. taking both ears for seed
purposes if they are of proper size and
shape. or all the characters to be con-
sidered in making selection that of
prolificacy in shelled corn to the stalk
is of the greatest Importance and
should be given greatest weight.
In the final selection the ears to Sc
lect are those that have from six
teen to twenty or more grain rows;
that have a fairly high percentage of
grain to the ear; that are of uniform
size, shape and color In order to yield
a high percentage Of grain to cob the
ears should be cylindrical in shape and
the cobs should be covered deeply and
compactly with kernels. To secure this
setting the kernels should be of a deep
wedge shape and should be arranged
in parallel rows in full length of the
ears. with as small space as possible
between the grain rows.
The vitality of all seed thus selected
should be determined by termination
tests before the corn is shelled. Ears
that show less than 80 per cent germi-
nation should be discarded. Kernels of
low termination. when used for plant
ing. result in a poor stand and often
cause small yields.

SELECTING SEED CORN.

Those Of Medium Length and Size
Preferable to Large Ones.
The proper place to select, seed corn
is in the field, at or just before gather
ing time, says the Country Gentleman.
Select from strong, healthy stalks that
have the most shelled corn to the stalk,
as such seed will tend to produce an
increased yield in the next years crop.
Any method of seed selection that does
not take the plant as whole into con-
sidertaion will not lead to the best re-
suits, for the stalk and leaves, which
are the factory of the plant, determine
to a considerable extent the size and
quality of the ears.
It has been observed that generally
the best yielding varieties are those
that produce more than one ear to the
stalk. Ears of medium length and size
are preferable to long and large ones,
because the latter were generally pro-
duced either on stalks that bore only
one ear or on stalks that grew on some
fertile spot in the field. Such seed
does not tend to produce the greatest
yields when planted. Seed from corn
grown on average land will do better
planted on land of medium fertility
than seed from the corn grown on rich
land.
In making selections in the field
three or four times as much corn
should be gathered as is desired for
seed purposes the following year, SO
that further and more careful selection
can be made after the ears have been
taken into the barn. In the final selec-
ton the ears should be arranged con-
veniently on the barn floor or ground,

Litter Mates.

A southern SOW had eight pigs and
could nourish only seven of them at
a time. Rather than let the odd pig
starve it was given to little girl. who
raised it by hand. She joined the
Decatur County Pig club as ham and
bacon member and kept close record
Of the feed given and weights of her
pig. which was not pure bred.
When the pig was ten months old it
was killed according to the instructions
sent her. It weighed 225 pounds net
when dressed as meat and yielded also
a fifty pound can of lard. The pig
cost less than five bushels of corn to
produce. as it was raised on kitchen
waste in addition to the corn.
The other seven pigs raised by the
mother and left to rustic with her were
killed at the same time and averaged
only eighty pounds net when
dressed as meat.
This instance shows how literally the
pig will repay proper care and feed
by gaining rapidly in weight. .

The Difference,

In an address delivered recently in
New York by Granville Barker, he
pointed out the difference existing be-
tween productions as made at the Mos
COW Art Theater and those in this
country.
There" he said. when they re-
hearse a play, they do not say. we
will give so many weeks to rehearsal
but what they do say is. we will put
this play in rehearsal and when it is
ready We will produce 1T I can truth
fully say that they are capable of
the most extraordinary things there.
They rehearsed The Blue Bird and
they had everything ready for it. The
company arrived for the dress re-
hearsal and saw the scenery on the
stage for the first time. There was al
ready about $4,000 in the box office
as the result of the seat sale. but be-
cause the scenery was not liked by
the management, The Blue Bird was
not produced.
I'VE who are always rushing
through our work. speak now of
professional people-are always be-
hind the time; we are always giving
the time that ought to be given to re-
hearsal and preparation to perform
ance. To me, who am also tied up in
such conditions, that was a very great
lesson"

twentieth anniversary of their associ-
alton as partners. observed is used

lend themselves to a celebration of any
sort. They displayed a commenda BILE
degree of bashfulness in their accept
ance of a number of handsome gifts.
but the efforts of the other members
of the 'ChinChin" company gathered
on the stage of the Globe Theater, New
1 DIRK, after the performance for the
purpose of making the partners talk
about themselves. were practically
fruitless. Fred Stone was finally in
duced to speak for at least thirty
seconds. He explained that the reason
he and Dave remained such excellent
partners is that al the close of each
working season they make it a prac-
tice to travel in exactly opposite di-
rections, and that after a separation
of several weeks they meet as better
friends than ever. In the score of
years, Stone declared. there have not
been as many disagreements as the
average married couple experiences in
a week.
