GET SEED CORN
SOON AS POSSIBLE
Agricultural College Experts Give
Method of Selection

Brooklngs-With but little doubt,
the supply of good seed corn will be
short next spring and that may mean
a good stiff price. Last spring we
saw first class seed corn in eastern
South Dakota remain unsold for the
lack of buyers. This was a very IN
usual condition because the normal
seed corn situation for many years
has been one of shortage Of supply
good demand and profit bearing
prices.
Unless the season is unusually long
there will be but little good seed
corn produced. and it will require
additional care to find what there is.
The following practical method of
seed corn selection is used on the
various farms of the South Dakota
experiment station each season.
About September 10, the hunt is
begun. A grain sack may be very
easily adjusted to carry slung over
ones shoulder and this method is
generally used, though at times
baskets or buckets are substituted.
The first care is to find mature,
sound corn. Next the corr plant or
stalk is observed. A sturdy stalk
with the ear borne in a hanging
position about three feet from the
shank of the ear to the ground is
wanted. Ears found on such stalks
are selected if mature.
AT four o'clock, the sacks of Sc
lected seed are taken to the seed
room, there to be examined again
for straight rows of even kernels,
good shape and standard size and
color. The ears that are selected are
then hung up to dry so that they do
not touch one another, thus permit
ting air to circulate on all sides.
fhis method is thoroughly practical,
and requires comparatively little

DEATH CALLS
A PHiNNEY

Robert Phinnev. of this CITY. re-
ceived the sorrowful news Tuesday
of the death Of his brother, Frank,
in Chicago, after a very brief illness
at the age of about 81 years. He
leaves a family of ten children to
mourn his loss, the wife and mother
having preceded him some years
ago. Frank Phinnev was a son of
George P. Phinney. and we believe
was born in Missouri. The family
settled in southern Hand county in
the earlv eighties and spent several
years there. Frank was for many
years a resident of Spring Lake
twp. Some ten or twelve years ago
he moved to Missouri, and later to
Chicago. The brief telegram stated
that the remains "ould be shipped
to Miller for burial, which will occur
the latter part of this week.

This wonderful story is THE BLACK BOX"
a mystery tale told as only Oppenheim can tell it.
Plausible, yet seemingly beyond human compre-

mysterious without a hint of cheap "blood and

THE BLACK BOX is full of action-pripping.
soul stirring, thrilling-something doing in every
prosaic, never commonplace, never

it necessarily follows that the plot is original, that
the situations are exciting, the d~enouement in

And SO 'the last is the best of all the game and as moth
