TESTING CORN

Mr.. McCusker, of Ryan, recently
made a report of his seed corn test
Ing. His report gives results on
5,794 ears. OF this amount 3,455 were
good or SO per cent. The rest were
considered bad.
One Sample tested for Joe Heiberg-
er showed only two good ears out
OF PAL. This corn was picked late.
Another sample of 100 ears belonging
to John Ryan tested 17S strong, the
rest being bad.
Corn which was picked before the
frost and we'll cared for is testing
high. One sample of 1913 ears belong
ing to Dave McElliott tested 1874
strong. The results of Mr.. McCusk-
er's work corresponds with that Of
the Farm Bureau testing station Corn
that was we'll cured before the heavy
freeze is testing fairly good. Some
field corn picked about three weeks
ago was tested and showed germi-
nation of about 60 per cent. However,
the general run of seed is not test
ing over fifty per cent. ..
The Farm Bureau has sent out let
tiers to various farmers over the
samples of three kernels from three
hundred ears in order to have 1t
tested. When any corn is located that
will even test thirty per cent or bet
ter it will be listed for seed, as it
may be necessary to test over such
corn for seed. Such corn must be
ear tested, but it is worth the effort
this year. At present 1928 bushels of
seed are needed by the farmers of
Delaware county. AS men test their
seed they will no doubt find they will
need more seed.
Every farmer who has bushel of
surplus seed corn should notify the
County Agents Office or list same
on the Farmers exchange boards To-
Gated at the banks in the various
towns over the county.
CHICKEN CHOLERA
Cholera reaps a harvest in the poul-
try flock each spring. Last year the
epidemic was so severe In some Sec
ticns Of Iowa that entire fiocks were
destroyed.
The symptoms are usually lack Of
appetite, sluggishness and death with
out apparent cause. Birds will drop
OF the roost dead, and the morning
may find several dead or only few.
The disease is spread by the common
watering pan, or infected feed care
lessly thrown about the yards.
Sanitation is the only means of con-
trQl. Clean up the premises and iso-
lation Of infected birds. The chicken
house should be dry, plenty Of straw
for protection, and all walls or wood
work whitewashed or sprayed with
dip solution.

CINCINNATI, March 30.-The na tional commission in d decision handed down today awarded Player William Stumpf to the Oakland club of the Pa cific coast league but made a provi- sion that the oakland club dispose ef his services to the Pittsburg club of tho National league. The Spokane club of the Northwestern league claimed Stumpf's services and also displayed an agreement to sell the player to the Pittsburg club. In view of the fact that the player complained that in case he was awarded to Oamand that he would not allowed to advance in his profession, the commission appended the clause whereby Oakland will be compelled to sell him to Pittsburg for the same terms that the Spokane clubs agreement with Pittsburg called for.

MESA HIGH LOSES ID
 NORMAL IN CAME 1-0

In one of the best games of the sea- son the Tempe Normal baseball nine won from the Mesa High school team by the close score of l to 0. The fea- lures Of the game were the pitching of Wells for Normal and StapTey for Mesa, with Wells having the little better of his opponent. Also in this connection the work of both catchers deserves special mention.
 The only run of the game came in the first half of the eighth inning. when Miller was given a base on balls; ad- vanced to third by a bunt by Austin, and an overthrow by Stapley in field ing the ball to first base: then on a sacrifice hit by Shahaan. Then Aus tin was caught on home when Wells failed to connect with a bunt signal.
 Stapley struck 17 men out, gave two bases on balls and allowed but one hit; while Wells for Normal struck 16 men out, gave one base on balls and al lowed just two hits. one of which should have been fielded
