used, the ears can be numbered in
other ways.
In single ear testing, two kernels
from opposite sides OF the ear on the
top, two from the middle, and two
from the butt are put in numbered
squares or portions of terminating
boxes or other testers. The kernels
are kept moist at room temperature
not above 80 degrees F. nor below so
degrees f. After six or seven days
the seed should begin to sprout Only
those ears from which all the kernels
give strong sprouts should be reserved
for planting.
Under ordinary circumstances, it
may not be absolutely necessary to
test individual ears. II a large num-
Der of typical ears show terminating
tests as high as 81 per cent, the seed
in general may be considered good.
Under the unusual conditions prevail
ing this year, especially in neighbor-
hoods where the corn did not mature
normally it should well repay corn
grower to test every ear that he In
tends to use for seed. If he has any
reason to doubt the quality of his in
dividual stock, the ear-by-ear testing
is simply form of labor and crop in
surance.
Before testing termination, the
farmer should examine each ear and
throw out all the ears which do not
look right or which have several with
cred or damaged kernels. He should
strive to make up his seed from ears
which in size and appearance seem to
be normal for his variety Of corn. Seed
corn should be shelled II possible by
hand to avoid the risk OF damage by
mechanical Smelling. Before Smelling
the owner should pick out peculiar
looking kernels and separate the seed
into sizes so as to make certain that
the corn drill will plant regularly.

lFrom the United States Department OF
Agricultural
Testing seed corn for termination
always profitable farm practice-is
an absolute necessity this year in
many sections. In a number or dis
tricts the last corn crop from which
seed for the coming planting will be
taken was late in maturing or so moist
when harvested as to call for special
precautions. high moisture content
makes seed corn particularly suscepti-
BILE to damage from freezing or heat
ing. Farmers in the sections where
corn failed to ripen normally who do
not test their seed early enough to be
able to replace their own bad seed
with good seed secured from other
sources will be taking an unnecessary
risk. It is also especially important
for holders of seed in such districts to
take unusual care during the remain
der of the winter to protect 1t from
freezing.
While complete testing for germina-
ton should take place shortly before
the seed is planted, the specialists of
the department believe that 1t will be
simple forehandedness for farmers
who have any reason to be doubtful
about the viability of their seed to
make preliminary terminating test
with few typical ears taken at ran
dom from the rack. II these prelim-

dts bdADOus III the prosecutor Oh
Edward Barrett, States Atty Hoyne
had his choice Of placing this par
ticular newspaper gunman on trial
for any one of three different kill
ings. Besides killing Conductor Witt,
Barrett was named by a coroner's
jury to be held for the shooting of
Frank HEIR, a teamster, in August,
1912. What Hoyne did in the case
of this newspaper gunman was to
take the one case in which the evil
dence was freshest and most con-
Yincing.
For the special purpose Of satisfy
ing the clamOr about the Conductor
Witt case, Hoyne had Edward Bar
rett brought from Joliet to stand trial
again for murder 1t is not often
Cook county has had the spectacle of
a convicted murderer under life SEN
tence being brought from Joliet to
stand trial on a second and different
murder charge. If conviction had
been obtained and Edward Barrett
had been given another life sentence
he would have had two life sentences
to serve in a single lifetime.
In the trial of Ed Barrett for the
Witt killing, the jury returned a YER
dict of not guilty. The chief witness.
to the killing was Conductor Wits
motorman. Sworn statements were
brought in from the motorman and
his physician and relatives to the
effect that he was in bad health and
at the point of death in his old home
town in Southern Indiana. The sick,
dying or disappearing witness, of
course, is often the decisive factor in
criminal trials, and in this case the
lack of this one witness, the COM
rade and brother of the dead union
workman, resulted in a failure of the
states attorney to convict.

to reveal the brutal invisible govern

during the 1912 lockout. The record
Of the examination of testimony of
H. L. StaTkey, circulation manager
for the Examiner during 1912, and Of
Max Annenberg, Tribune circulation
manager, when they were on the wit

show Hoyne went after the real stuff.
The speech of Hoyne's assistant,
O'Brien, to the jury in the Witt case,
was printed in The Day Book and
general comment was that it sound
ed like a Socialist speech.
O'Brien in selecting the jury asked
man after man how he felt about or
ganized labor and prospective jurors
who had made fair showing were
dropped when they spoke any sort
of hostility to labor unions.
Arthur Creamery Friedman was
tried with Ed Barrett for the Witt
killing. AS evidence indicated Fried
man was at the front window Of the,
car threatening crowd at the time
Witt was shot, he was not convicted.
Friedman, however, was brought
from Joliet for trial with Barrett, and
is one Of several newspaper gunner
prosecuted by Hoyne and convicted
of robbery.
Henry Barrett, brother of Ed, and
also a newspaper gunman and slug
ger, was convicted under prosecution
by HOyne and is now serving a 10
year sentence for completely in the

VIOLATION TO SELL
 ANY ALCOHOLIC DRINK
iProsecuting Attorney Parham Calls Attention to Provision of
 Law.

The sale of cider or other beve"- ages containing alcohol is now fel- ony in Arkansas, and the offense IS punishable by imprisonment for from one to three years. Prosecuting At -rney T. G. Par ham, discussing this matter ycster- day, said:
 "The supreme court of Arkansas, in the case of '5eibert versus state, decided on the 9th of December. 1915, held that it was unlawful to sell any thing used and drunk as a beverage, whether intoxicating or not, if it con tained alcohol, and i, is now pen!- tentiary offense to sell alcoholic or intoxicating liquors.
 "InasII uch as tn re may be some people who do not understand the law to be as it is, and as most cider and nearly all of the so-called temperance drinks do contain more '1r less alcohol. I think attention should be callsd to the matter so that the public generally may understand that it is a violation of the law to sell anything as drink that con tains any alcohol"
