Governor Fletcher Much Worried Over
UniOn-JOurnaI Test Vote.

From the immense amount paid advertising space which
Ex-Governor Fletcher devong to the Lyndonve UnionJour
nails Statewide test voe termng it "Page selected list
"sham ballot etc. ETC., would that the matter IS one
which appeals him being of more than passing Importance
and possibly the subject demands Just word before dropped
from final consideration.
1t must be borne mind that the paid adveIs
ing of Mr. Fletcher has been claimed that the list which he
characterzes Pge selected list does not contain the
of every living member of the Legislatures of Vermont since
1910 None of Ex-Governor Fetchers newspaper friends has
presumed question the fact that the list contained the of
every attorney of every physician of every minister of the Cos
pei as we'll as of every State and county official from 1910 to the
present time
1t would have been very easy have dpoved the Union
Journals statement it but being absolutely true
there was other way but try laugh down the facts by
crying "Sham Ballot, "Page selected list, etc.
The plain fact stands out however, with all its force, that
out Of 1916 replies received only III showed preference
for Allen N, Fletcher for Senator,
The question which naturally suggests itself is how did it
happen? Isn't the average going believe that the Allen
NJ Fletcher Club of Mortified approaches very close to the truth
when says that all the living members of the Legislature for
the past six years. all the State and county officials all the law
yers all the physicians all the cergymen, with members of the
Grand Army aena societies. oranges etc. pretty near
constituting "Page selected list?
Governor Fletcher is too bright not to that as
showing his standing before the people of Vermont this test vote
is anything but "sham "burleSque and ake he would
have the people of Vermont believe.

PRACTICAL SEED CORN TEST

Earliest your seed corn, especially
if the preliminary test does not show
good termination" is the instructions
issued recently by A. n. Hume, agron-
omist of the State College.
The method used in testing is not
SO important if it produces the desired
results but DR.. Hume suggests the rag
doll method as the most effective and
simple.
The rag doll test is described as fol-
lows:
The rag doll test gets its name from
the fact that corn to be tested is rolled
into a piece of moist cotton flannel or
other porous cloth and tied. When SO
rolled and tied it resembles a rag doll.
The ear test should be made in Febru-
airy or March before the farmer gets
too busy with early small grain seed
ing.
Making the Rag Doll
when making a test of seed corn
by the rag doll method, it is first neces-
sary to have a piece of cotton cloth
of any desirable and convenient size.
1t may be of the usual width or som"
what narrower, and three or four feet
in length. Before beginning the WORK
of testing lay this cloth smoothly on
a table and with a 3-foOt rule and pen
ell, mark it off into squares two inches
by three inches in size. The squares

"Minot, n. D., Jan. 2S.-W. E. Hoi-
bein, who was commissioner in charge
of the North Dakota exhibit at the

MIR. Holbein has just disposed Of his

are Tor the purpose of separating the
kernels taken from the separate ears
of corn, the kernels from n ear being
put into another square, etc.
when the cloth is ruled off as de-
scribed. it is well to dip it into water
and ring it out before beginning to but
the kernels into place. When the
cloth is thus dampened, the kernels
do not slip off easily and they may be
laid p o the squares without much
danger of becoming displaced.
Selecting the Kernels
Take the dampened cloth and start
to roll at one end. Take the first ear
to be tested and extract three or more
kernels from it with a pocket knife.
Take the kernels from the butt, mid
die and tip of the ear, SO hat they rep
resent all portions of the ear as nearly
as possible. Lay the kernels of this
ear into square No. /, and set aside the
ear with its appropriate number. The
point is that the squares on the cloth
shall correspond to the numbers of the
ears tested. Any device for keeping
track Of the kernels and correspond nS
ears will be satisfactory.
Proceed likewise with ear number
,, placing its sample kernels in square
number . on the cloth. Continue this
until the squares on the cloth are filled
with kernels, each from separate ears.
Roll the cloth upon itself from the end
where the roll was started at the be.
ginning. The folds of cloth will hold
the kernels by pressure.
Bind the roll snugly with cord. II
will require four to ten days Of 20 de.
gree temperature to complete the test
In the meantime, it is a good plan to
place the rag doll in an empty tin
bucket and cover it with a lid. This
will prevent evaporation and keep the
kernels sprouting. Look at the cloth
each day to see that it is damp but not
water logged. If it grows o dry mois.
ten it a little.
after a sufficient time, take out the
rag doll and unroll it on some smooth
surface. Keep account of the ears

AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF

ing the suggestions of every wide
awake, progressive resident of the
county. While we always have the
greatest good of the greatest number
in mind when planning for the ex-
hibits, attractions and amusements for
the fair, yet we can make mistakes.
and we are not too proud to admit the
fact. But such mistakes are those of
the head and not of the heart. If
everybody's foresight was as good as
their hindsight, there would be mighty
few failures. SO the board of directors
of the county fair invite suggestions.
ideas, recommendations, etc. for the
1916 fair. Mail them to the secretary,
j. +. Brooke, Bookings, S. D., and sign
your name and give your address. No
anonymous communications consider
ed. If you are ashamed to acknow-
ledge what you write, it must be
mighty poor or mighty mean. Every
letter received will be given due con-
sideration and we want to hear from
our critics as well as from our friends.
The secretary will hold your communi-
cation confidential if you so desire.
Now is the time to help the fair with
any honest criticism or suggestion for
betterment that you have in mind. Let
us hear from you all.
