SECURE SEED CORN NOW

South Dakota farmers should be lay
ing in a supply of good seed corn now,
urges Agronomist A. n. Hume of State
College. Further" he says, they
should make sure that it is good viable
seed by termination test.
Let every corn grower and farmer
mark it well that wise buyers have
been and are constantly buying up the
seed corn supplies from South Dakota.
emily going outside the state. There
is absolutely no objection to that, pro-
viding South Dakota gets money
enough for the corn and also providing
every grower in the state has seed
orn enough for himself. If farmers do
not have it they should buy it, per-
haps from neighbors and perhaps from
some seed firm within the state"
DR.. Hume calls attention to a Des
Moines, Iowa, dispatch which reports
that Iowa spectators have been buy
ing up 1914 corn, selling it for seed at
a handsome profit, without testing to
see that it will terminate" w. B.
Barney, Iowa dairy and food commits
sion, suggests in the dispatch that
there is some danger that farmers
will not get good seed corn to plant in
the spring"
Relative to this dispatch DR.. Hume
writes: Apparently, Iowa is not the
only state in which spectators may
corner seed corn. South Dakota corn
growers should take note of this and
remember that Iowa spectators not
only buy seed in Iowa, but they also
buy it in South Dakota. The writer
received an authentic report that Iowa
buyers were picking up seed corn,
both old and new, in at least one of
the southern counties of this state of
South Dakota. They were paying one
dollar and more for some of this corn.
"The writer has no quarrel with
Iowa buyers who want to secure SEED
corn from South Dakota. They have a
perfect right to buy it, if people here
have it to sell. The writer has no
knock on seedsmen in general, nor
even or spectators who buy actual
corr and pay for it with actual money
and n resort IL and test IL in tho
hope of making a legitimate profit. 1t
is true that we would really prefer
South Dakota seed corn handled by
South Dakota seedsmen.
But the chief %precaution of all the
seed corn situation at present can be
taken only by individual prospective
corn growers throughout the length
and breadth of South Dakota"

MOTOR CAR PRICES DROPPING
STEADILY

The steady downward trend in the
prices of popular makes of automobiles
has been a feature which virtually
every motorist has commented on this
season. That this drop has not been
accompanied by any falling off in quail
ity of the cars has been established
beyond question by the satisfactory
way in which the new models have
performed for their owners all over
the country. Generally the 1916 cars
are In looks and ability the superiors
of the efficient models which featured
last season.
Prominent In the list of moderate
priced car reductions this year is the
Maxwell, which last season produced
a revolutionary quantity of $3.50 tour
ing cars. This year the company has
reduced the list price to $685. and has
made this figure cover a car COM

GOOD SlRES MEAN GOOD DAIRY
OFFSPRING

"A good dairy COW is not the result
of haphazard methods" says Prof. c..
Larsen of State College, but she is
the product Of careful selection and
breeding. True it is that a good
mixer may occasionally be obtained in
any breed. | have seen some individu-
ais, even in special beef breeds that
have been good mixers, and which,
by proper feed and care, might have
four hundred pounds of b~utterfat in a
year. Such animals are accidents,
and are termed sports There is only
one sure way Of obtaining large pro-
ducing cows from our common herds
and that is to be sure that the head
of the herd, or the sire ome from
large milk producing ancestors.
The better the dairy qualities of
the dam, the quicker will be the i'm
prOvement. Therefore, the beginning
Of the four hundred-pound butterfat
COW must originate in the judgment
of the owner, and in his ability TO Sc
lect the right parents. 1t is not only
necessary that the sire comes from
large producing ancestors, but it is i'm
portant also that the dam be a reason
ably good producing COW. In the work
that we have done at the State College,
we have found that the production of
the offspring varies with the kind of
COW as well as with the kind of sire"

On my car am using a multiple disk
clutch running in oil. II has a tend
ency to hang-that is, the plates VIII
not release in order to shift the gears.
Can you give me some advice on the
subject?
Probably the oil in The clutch has not
been replenished for some time ana
has become gummy or thick, prevent
ing proper release of the plates, or you
may be using too heavy a grade OF OIL,
with similar effects. Wash ca the
clutch thoroughly with kerosene, ana
then put in a mixture half kerosene
and half a medium grade Of cylinder
oil. This makes a light lubricant,
which should work well. The clutch
should be cleaned out with kerosene
about every 1000 miles and new oil
put in. If after thoroughly treating
the clutch in this tanner 1t continues
TO grab take it apart and discover
where it Is holding.

When coastine down hill or after
running slowly for a time my whole
carburetor, intake manifold, etc., is
choked with gasoline. What is the
cause of this?
If adjustment of the carburetor will
not remedy this trouble 1t might be due
to condensation in the manifold. This
can be remedied by using a higher
grade Of fuel, but preferably by heat
ing the manifold. A hot air or hot wa
ter jacket around it would prevent this
condensation.

when running slow? Also should tho
spark be retarded on first or second
speed and particularly when there is
heavy pull?
The spark should be advanced for
running fast and retarded for running
slow, the exact speed below which
the spark should be retarded depend
ing on the individual car. Proper o
troll Of the spark is an important fac
tor In obtaining maximum efficiency
from the motor and also In reducing
fuel consumption. less gasoline being
required when the spark Is advanced
the correct amount than when the
throttle alone is depended upon to con.
troll the speed. \ knocking sound In
your motor will tell you at once when
your spark is advanced too far. though
after practicing spark control for a
time you will become so used to the
requirements Of your particular car
that you will never let this injurious
condition occur. Ordinarily Ii Is not
necessary 10 retard the spark when
running on first or second speed. as

Either the w~indings are damaged,
the brushes are not making proper con.

If the brushes get stuck in the hold
ers they may not bear on the commu-
tator. Possibly the springs back of
them are weak. If they prove to be
stuck carefully file them until they
move easily in the holders without be
ing too loose. 1t might be that grease,
oil or dirt has collected on the commu-

when the brushes work properly. The

WOODWARD VICTOR BY Z ID 1 IN THE ATLANTA ELECTION Mayor Will Not Be Recalled for Reducing Chief of POlice-COmmissiOn-
 CTS Winners

Atlanta, January 5.--Complete unof- ficial returns tonight on special elec- tion on the proposed recall of Mayor James G. Woodward and five mem bers of the Atlanta police commission showed majorities of approximate ly to 1 against the recall
 Mayor Woodward out of total of 969S votes cast in his case, received a majority of 29OO against his recall. In the balloting on recalling the mayor 6299 voted against his recall and S399. slightly more than the number who signed the recall petitions, voted for his removal. The returns indicated that a virtually straight ticket had been voted throughout.
 The vote on the recall of the five members of the police committee and the mayor, who is an ex-officio mem Der, was asked because the commits sion reduced James l.. Beavers from chief of police to a captaincy Beavers resigned rather than accept the reduc- tion. His friends claimed he did not have a fair trial Beavers was accused of not obeying the orders of the police board
 The complete vote on the commits sioners was.

STATE DELEGATION WILL URGE CLAYTON FOR SUPREME BENCH Conference to Be Held To- day-Alabamian Has Fine Chance IS A FAVORITE OF PRESIDENT WILSON Abercrombie, If Further Urged, Will Run Against Bankhead for Sem ate, He Savs-No Significance In Change of Residence
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, January 5.-(Special) There is strong indications tonight that the Alabama delegation, in a meeting scheduled for tomorrow noon will in- dorse Judge Henry D. Clayton of the mid dle federal district of Alabama, for the vacancy on the bench of the supreme court, and ask President Wilson to ap point him.
 It Is understood that the delegation, with the possible exception of Representative Abercrombie, will unanimously stand for Judge Clayton. The congressman-at
 large this afternoon stated that he would
 be glad to support Judge Clayton pro- vided Judge Thomas Mcclellan was not an applicant, but that if Judge McClel- Ian wanted the position he would through ties of strong personal friendship speak for him.
 Judge Clayton is said to be a favorite of President Wilson, and in addition there are two reasons, his friends declare, why he has fine chance to land In the first place, there are only two democratic justices. In the second place, the south, it is said. is entitled to fill a vacancy caused by the death of a southern man.

Lever ReintrOduceS His
 Cotton Futures Measure
Done Despite Action of Judge Hough In Declaring Law stitutional-Author Does Not Believe Supreme Court Will Sustain New York Jurist-Many
 Affected Endorse Law

Washington, January 5.-Represen- tative Lever of South Carolina, author of the cotton futures law, recently de- clared unconstitutional by Federal
 Judge Hough of New York, today rein troduced the bill. MT. Lever said he consulted many lawyers in the Senate
 and House and "their opinion is sub stantially unanimous that the supreme court would not uphold Judge Tough" "Judge Hough," Mr Lever said, de clared the cotton futures statute of August IS, 1914, unconstitutional upon the ground it originated in the Senate instead of in the House. The facts are that during the Sixty-third Congress Senator Smith of South Carolina in-
 troduced a bill framed under the post office clause regulating cotton ex- changes I intrdouced a bill on the same subject seeking to accomplish the same economic ends framed under the tax clause of the constitution. Senator Smiths bill passed the Senate previous ly to House action on my bill. When the matter came before the House my bill was substituted for Senator Smiths bill and in order to get an advantageous calendar position it was assigned the Senate number of the Smith bill. The government contention is that consti- tutionally the bill originated in the House
 Nevertheless, if the supreme court should sustain Judge Hough, the cotton trade would be so much upset and dis organized during the period interven- | ing between the supreme court decis- ion. and a reconsideration of the ques- ton by Congress, that I have deemed | it the part of prudence in the public in terest to submit to the Congress the bill for the ere-enactment of the statute.
