der no obligation other than to pay
for the shipment if they finally take
it out of the cars, tends to encourage
speculation and is liable to increase
freight congestion. Some of these
buyers order products shipped in the
hope that the price will 60 up in the
meantime and enable them to sell
locally to a local dealer who will pay
cash. Unless they succeed in selling
to others, many of these shippers

VIM. F. Stone Dead.

VIM. F. Stone, a prominent Re-
publican leader and former Collector
of Customs, of Baltimore, died Sun
day morning last at St. Joseph's hos
pital, after an illness of 10 days due
to urnmic poisoning. Several weeks
previous to his death he suffered an
attack of measles, and his condition
since was serious. He became very
i'll night of September 9th and was
hurried to the hospital and under
went an operation. A second opera
ton was performed Saturday last.
Until he developed the measles he
had been in the thick of numerous
activities, business, official and polit-
ical. He was vice-president of the
Western National Bank, and constant
in his attendance upon that institu-
TONS affairs; president of the Mary
land Filling Machines Company; head
of large nursery enterprise in Prince

sometimes fall back on the shipper.
In a case recently investigated by
the department a man without tinan
cial standing, who posed as a com
mercial company, succeeded in pur-
chasing large shipments Of hay and
mill feed. As there was no advance
in price and as he had no cash with
which to meet the drafts, he held the
goods for several weeks in the cars on
the track. Some of the cars were on
the track for over 20 days before un-
loading. When he succeeded in sell
ing a car, instead of paying his own
cash for it, he sent his customer to
the bank TO release the draft. The
day the department investigator was
on the ground this man had l3 cars
of hay and 8 cars of mill feed on the
track, papers for Il more cars en-
route, and a number more still to be
shipped. 1t was stated locally that
in the same kind of transaction in
the past severe decline in price rem
dered this individual unable to pay
for 80 cars of produce, which the
shipper was forced to sell at a mate
rial loss. The shipper in this case
easily could have obtained facts as to
their customers responsibility from
the mercantile agencies or from local
banks or merchants.

Select Seed Corn Now.
(By P. A. Hauver, County Agent

(By P. A. Hauyer, County Agent.)
At this season of the year much has
been said relative to increasing yields.
If YOU have been careful reader of cur
rent agricultural discussion you will note
that a great amount has been said con-
cerning increased yields, and less done.
Not withstanding this fact there are
few things you cannot afford to neglect.
I know Just how much you are rushed
with your fall work of filling silos, cut
ting corn and getting ready to put in
your wheat at the proper time and in the
most desirable way, and yet you cannot
afford to neglect your seed for the crop
you wish to plant next year. | have in
mind more particularly the selection OF
seed corn for next year. When corn is
selling for &c. 90 per barrel you are inter-
ested in growing the maximum amount
Der acre without unduly increasing the
cost of production. To do this one of
the most important things to consider is
good seed. 1t is fundamental law Of
nature that like produces like. There
fore, if you do not plant the desirable
type of corn you cannot expect to raise
the desirable type. Without doubt it
certainly is familiar to everyone that
seed corn should be selected in the field
just before cutting. In view of the fact
that so much has already been said by
the press with regard to selecting seed
corn the writer is not going to say how
this should be done, but if you have for
gotten let me know and will be glad to
help you.
To some it may seem trivial matter,
but when you consider the fact that your
entire yield is dependent upon the seed
you plant, it seems to me that it is GER
tainly worth considering. You may say
that you have been successful in grow
ing corn in other years, but how do you
know you could not have increased your
yield by careful seed selection? If you
can only increase your yield by one-half
a barrel per acre you are amply justified
for your time and effort put forth in Sc
lecting the seed. | can only call your
attention the experience of farmers in
other parts of the state who are select
ing their seed corn under field conditions.
Hartford county is fast becoming noted
as seed corn county. These farmers
realize the value Of selecting good seed
and are selling 1T to our farmers at $500
per bushel
Are you going to wait again until an
other season before giving this consider
alton? Ask yourself the question, Can
afford to let this opportunity pass with
out giving it trial?
