BRADFORD is SWATTED

There were several hot moments
In the session OF the King County
Democratic club Saturday noon
when the five candidates for cor
poration counsel looeened up bit.
When J. Z. Bradford got thru
with TRADE against a morning
newspaper. ignoring charges against
himself, and II. G. Caldwell had dis
claimed being tool of any news
paper combine or corporation,
Thomas r. Murphine placed a new
bomb under Bradford. and incident
ally drew q chuckle or two at the
expense Of Caldwell.
Murphine briefly told OF his Iegis-
lative record OF support for the
mothers pension, minimum wage.
labor union measures. non-partisan
election laws and other advanced
legislation.
He then called attention to the
practice OF the corporation counsel
OF hiring q lot of professional ap-
praisers at $3.50 day. keeping
them steadily on the city pay roll.
and thus building up a political ma
chine out OF keeping with progress
sive, independent ideals.
He cited . supreme court decision
which raped this practice.
II showed that on q 3.e0o-foo&
highway Bradford allowed the -
praisers TO collect for lis dayn'
work 1t $3.50 q day. The property
owners had to pay.
While BrAdford's system Of 81.

in private practice has been shown

elusive proof that Mr.. Brandeis, in
his social philosophy. is an 'indi.
vidualist" In favor OF maintaining
regulated competition, instead OF a
socialist In favor OF aboiishing
competition and substituting the
cooperative commonwealth.

supreme court. Wilson has, after
three years. recognized the pro.
gressive element whose support he
enjoyed In his campaign.
II Is the first recognition and II

Brandeis worked with the pro.

He was an early supporter and
adviser of La Toilette. At one
time he supported Roosevelt.

that Wilson had become a convert

PICKING HIGH-YEALDING SEED
PICKING H!GH-YIELDING SEED

October 12th-This weekwe are
asked you to help him select seed
corn from the field; and we shall sup
pose further that he wishes you to
select strictly for yield rather than
for fancy points"
The question is, How would you
go about it? Or would you have any
idea at all as to how to proceed?
Perhaps you will begin by simply
taking the big ears wherever you find
them. Let us consider this plan.
The big ears are generally slower
in maturing than medium-sized ears.
In fact, you will probably notice that
most of the really large ones are still
soggy and immature. Would it be
safe, then, to use them for seed? That
is, would there not be danger that
your crop would fail to get out of
the way of Jack Frost next year? This
is the great trouble with the big ears.
Only those should be used for seed
which were we'll matured and out of
the way of the frost this year.
The same thing is true about the
big stalks. They are very often the
ones that have kept growing too long,
and the ears on them are very apt to
be behind the others in the field in
point of maturity. So it will not do
to hunt for the biggest stalks when
we are selecting our seed corn. Most
corn growers agree that medium
sized stalk that is strong and sturdy
is the one that usually has the good
seed ear.
You have noticed that some ears
hang with the tips pointed downward
while the tips of others point upward.
Would you say that this would have
anything to do with the yield to be
expected if the two kinds of ears were
used for seed? 1t really does. For
the ear whose tip points upward is
the one with the big, strong shank;
and if the shank is large, the cob is
usually large and heavy also. Then
the Smelling percentage will be low.
A bushel of earcorn, as you know,
should yield tifty-six pounds of she'll
ed corn; but if the cobs are large and
heavy, it may yield only fifty or fifty
two pounds instead. And SO you will
do we'll to select those ears whose
tips hang downward.
Would you take seed ear from a
stalk, from whose base a sucker has
grown? This is probably another
point of which you have not thought.
4 Yet sucker usually produces no ear
but robs the main stalk of plant food
/ so that it produces a smaller ear than
it would otherwise. And so we do
not want seed that will produce this
kind of plants.
Would you pay any attention to
barren stalks, or those having no
ears, while selecting seed ears? The
rule is to keep away from them. This
is the reason. While the barren plant
produces no ear, it's tassel does pro-
duce pollen which fertilizes the ear
on other plants. Thus the barren
plant becomes the male parent or sire
of much of the surrounding corn; and
if this corn is used for seed what wou-
Id you expect but that many Of the
plants produced would be barren? 1t
is really true that most of the expert
corn breeders refuse to take seed ears
from stalk standing near barren
stalk.
