In experiments with corn at the
Pennsylvania state college during the
last few years heavy seed gave little
better field termination and a little
better yield than light seed. Seed from
ears which terminated quickly gave a
slightly better field termination. Seed
selected on the stalk terminated better
than seed selected at husling time in
an outdoor test for the single year for
which the record was kept. Seed Sc
lected at husking in three years trials.

are people being compelled to pay
too much for what they buy? Nobody
can answer that until ne can say with
reasonable approximation what it
costs to produce those things.
In some leids the trade commission
will find plenty of data The packers,
for instance, can tell it exactly what
it costs them to turn out their prod

couraged accurate cost accounting in
their case. But these fields are linn

err probably the biggest producer of high grade paraffine oil ever discovered in America. For nearly year it pro- duced approximately 10000 barrels of oil per day which sold at $40 per bar rel This well still produces nearly 1000 barrels per day. The Gillespies are well known in this state through their connection with the Red Rover copper mine which they own and operate.
 The recognition of the Chino oil fields in such a way by these parties naturally adds a strong stimulus to the belief that Arizona is to be added to the list of important oil producing states.
 P l.. Mullen, vice president of the Arizona Del Rio Oil company. is leaving for Prescott and Flagstaff within day or so for an important consultation with Rabbit Brothers and w. w. Hays which is expected to result in some inn portant decisions altering the basis al which stock has been offered and insur ing quick oil development MT Muller, states that the derrick should be on the Del Rio ground within week or so now and that in short time two Wei:s will be going doWn-one on company account and one on the Gtnespie lease.
 The negotiations through which the above transaction was comp eted were conducted by C. M Summer of Phoenix on behalf of the Del Rio company.
