WANT TO BUY SEED CORN ?
If So, the State Agricultural College
Can Tell You Where to Get
Best on Market.

Do you want to buy any seed corn
this year or have you any for sale?
The agronomy division of the Kansas
State Agricultural College can help
you sell your seed or can tell you
where you can buy the best seed. Each
year the agronomy department pub
fishes seed list which will be mailed
to any person interested in buying
seed. The first list is nearly ready to
mail. Farmers who have seed for sale
can write to the agricultural college
and by filling out an application blank
their seed will be listed for sale. Last
year this exchange list resulted in the
sale of thousands of bushels of corn,
wheat, alfalfa, sweet clover and cow
peas.
"The climatic conditions the past
summer and fall were favorable for
ripening a good quality of seed," says
c. c. Cunningham, assistant in CO.
operative experiments. "The Kansas
farmer will not need to send outside
the state this year to get his seed corn.
The best seed corn that he can plant
is the seed he has raised himself or
that has been raised by neighbor on
an adjoining farm. There is plenty of
good seed corn this year."

 The articles of incorporation give the capital stock as S3 500, ,00G. the esti- mated cost ol the road. This amount is divided into 36.OO0 shares of sIO0 each. Of which 1890 have already been subscribed by the nine directors. This brings the amount subscribed up to si 900 per mile for the proposed road, this being the amount required by statute before articles of incorporation may be filed.
 The fact that parties back af the new line have been able to finance the pro- position at this time is ta ken in many quarters as an indication that the Tue son. Phoenix and Tidewuter will be ready to start building from Tucson to Phoenix iIf the not distant .utnre Men high up in the Fl Paso & Southwestern are interested in both roads. and it is considered only matter of short tiGe antiI the western terminus Of the FoaG will be moved bearer tidewater.

BEkS0N'S CHANGES FOR
 THE B0ROERliND

.PHoENIE. May 70 Asking thar the Tucson Tombstone road through Benson and St. David be designated 9 state road. and made part ol the Borderland highway. Charles F Moss of Benson, yesterday waited on the board of control with number of pc titions signed by residents nj north western Cochisc county
 Inasmuch as the funds at the dispos- sal of the board of control are compar- ativeIy small compared with the money which IS spent under the direction of the boards of supervisors. the board has not been in the habit of designating roads, but has expended the funds up- on such roads as are designated and are being improved by the boards i supervisors and the state engineer. By reason of this fact the board referred siie hattei oi the oesisHdloH ot tnt road back to the supervisors of Coehise. county. At the same time 1t was pointed out that the funds available. for state road work in Cochisc county during the life of the administration would not be more than sufficient to complete the work between Douglas and Tombstone. and also that fl the road was designated state road, and the county should issue bonds. that it would be difficult to obtain any of the funds so derived for use on the section so designated.
