SIXTY EARS TEST
STRONG; FORTY VARY

Centerville, Dec. IA great varia.
ton in the quality Of the seed corn
is shown by the tests made during the
short course and which have just
been made public. or the eighty ears
tested from eight fields in different
parts of the county sixty ears tested
strong, twelve weak, two part dead,
part weak, and six altogether dead.
Two Of the samples showed all ten
ears strong But others showed
scarcely half OF the ears strong. The
test has convinced Appanoose county
farmers that they should test their
seed corn before planting next spring.
With the conditions as they are here
it is presumed the northern part of
the state will be far worse, where corn
did not so nearly mature. Following
was the result of the tests:
J. D.. Holloway strong, weak,
1 part dead. part weak.
John Morrison strong, 3 dead.
s. A. Stuckey--9 strong, / weak.
Y. E. Moore--7 strong, weak, l
dead.
c. C. Phillips strong, weak, !
dead and weak, l dead.
H. Artman-6 strong, weak, dead
A. L. Stuckey-All strong.
Martin Vedis-All strong.

opening ranged from 4 a sc off to &c
up, with December at $1.13S as. and
May at $1,14A M1.15h. A general de-
cline followed
Later a sharp rally took place in
wheat. Falling off in receipts northwest
was predicted and the United States
visible supply total showed an unex-
pected decrease. The close was "a to
2hc net higher. with December at
$1.14h and May at $1171s az.
Fine weather made the corn market
easv. After opening unchanged to Ac

You Can Hello
to New York City

In the future if you have a
friend on Wall street or for that
matter any other street in New
York city it will be possible to
hold telephone conversation
with him. It will be necessary
to get connection with Albuquer-
que and the office will get through
connection with New York, or
for that matter, any other city in
the east.
Of course to talk over that dis
tance will be a little more expen-
sive than to send a telegram or to
mail a letter but there is a salts
faction oft times in telephone
message.
