Our readers have never read and new
err will read any abuse of Henry Ford in
these columns. We have great admir-
alton for Mr.. Ford, admitting, at the
same time, that he may have some of
the faults that are inherent in even the
greatest of men. But we are not for
him for United States senator, because
his position on great matters of polit-
ical policy are not well defined. mas
much as he sought nomination on both
the democratic and republican tickets,
we are justified in being somewhat in
doubt about where he stands upon mat
ters concerning which we have intelli
gent convictions. And beside, we do
not like the idea of the attempt to ride
two horses. Let us say this, too, that
we believe the republicans of Michigan
will resent as a reflection upon their
honor and intelligence the attack that
is being made upon Commander New
berry in another state. The people of
Michigan are competent to settle this
matter for themselves. In their own
courts if need be, or at the polls. Mr..
Ford in perfectly legitimate way has
bought his advertising and paid for it
through number of years. He is the
best advertised man in the world.
Commander Newberry's friends had to
buy lot of advertising for a specific
purpose to make their candidate some
where near equally well known and we
see nothing very reprehensible in this
procedure.

Dear Mother:
Since writing you last have moved

interesting around this part of the
country, too Am still enjoying the
best of health. Don't think l have ever
felt better. This is some noisy place.
There are big guns in front and be-

ing else doing at night, Fritz comes
over with a few bombs and drops
them around just wherever he feels
like he ought to hit something, but
they are awfully poor shots and usu-
ally don't hit anything but the ground
We've only been here a few days
and I've had my gas mask on four
times, but the worst of 1t Is that it
is always at night Just about the time
a fellow wants to go to sleep, that's
when the gas alarm sounds. OH it's

SELECT SEED
CORN AT ONCE


Every one remembers the trouble
they bad with seed corn last year, yet
many farmers took chances and plant
ed from corn in thecrib. Now the
prospects are not the best In the
world for good seed next year and the
coming winter may be Just as severe
as the last. so you can't afford to take
any chances this time. Besides, II you
have good strain of corn 1t never
pays to buy seed from someone else,
If you select and care for several
bushels of seed corn this fall, you not
only take step to improve your seed
for next year but you win be sure to
have some less provident neighbors
that you can sell to In the spring at
good price. Here are some rules
which will act as guide to anyone
who is farslghted enough to save his
seed corn now:
Save seed this fall in the field.
2--Secure from hills with two or
more stalks
3 Secure from stalks bearing two
or more ears.
4-Seeure ears at proper height
from ground.
s Secure shanks with medium
length and ears hanging down.
g. Select ears Of good length.
= Select ears well rounded over at
tirs
Select ears large around.
o. Select for small cob and large
kernels
70 Select ears with wedge shaped
; aiis.
II Select ears with grains in
straight rows.
: III Select ears with grains plump
and tlght on the cob
10 Select this fall for spring may
be too late.
You can readily see that II is inn
possible TO follow the most of these
Important rules unless you select in
the field this fall
In the first place, an ear that has
grown in hill OF two or more stalks
and ID as large or almost as an ear
that grew in Hill Of one stalk is nat
urally a more vigorous one and should
make better seed, other things being
equal Again, II you take your seed
rom stalks with two ears on them
even II not quite so large as where
only one grew you can in few years
develop a strain OF corn that will al
most Invariably produce two ears to
the stalk
Then II is an advantage to have
ears from three and one half to five
feet from the ground not only because
II is easier 20 handle for cutting, tops
ping, etc, but also because your corn
win ripen more evenly and all be
ready to harvest at the same time.
Again, il is a waste to have ears
with a shank a foot long, while If
they are short ane stubby holding the
car upright II allows rain and insects
and birds to damage and inJure the
ear. If the shank is moderately long
and timber, allowing the ear to hang
down at about As degrees, it will shed
the water, vige protection from birds,
allow the dew and rain TO run off, ana
often VIII stand until winter undam-
aged. Every one knows that through
out the animal and vegetable kingdom
Like produces like" and this holds
wonderfully true In the selection. OF
seed corn, Also we know that severe
freezing Injuries seed corn II Il Is not
perfectly dry and even then II does II
, no good, so be on the safe side and
store your seed in a dry place. Corn
at the driest we can get II in July or
August contains from s to 10 per
cent of moisture.
Yours for success.

County Agent.
