their men: Now, take it easy and

DO SOMETHING WORTH WHILE
Much Benefit Will Come From Deter.
nnination to Make Each Day
Record Of Accomplishment.

The one who starts out In the morn
ing with determination to do some
thing during the day that will amount
to something, that will be distinctive,
that will have individuality. that will
give him satisfaction at night, Is a
great deal more likely not to waste
his day In frivolous, unproductlve work
than the one who starts out with no
plan.
Begin every day, therefore. with a
program and determine that, let what
will come, you will carry 1t out as
closely as possible. Follow It up per-
slstently, day after day, and you will
be surprised at the result.
Make up your mind at the very
outset Of the day that you will accom-
pllsh something that will amount to
something; that you will not allow
callers to fritter away your time, and
that you will not permit the little an
nOyances of your business to. spoil
your days work. Make up your mind
that you will be larger than the trifles
which cripple and cramp mediocre
lives, and that you will rise above petty
annoyances and interruptions and
carry out your plans In a large and
commanding way.
Make every day Of your life count
for something; make It tell in the
grand results, not merely as an added
day, but as an added day with some
thing worthy achieved.

should begin now, for the only proper
way to select seed corn Is from the
standing stalks rs soon as the corn
natures and before the first hard
freeze. Select plenty Of seed
enough for your own needs, for
replantlng II necessary and to
supply your less thrifty neighbors
who may wait until spring to take their
chances of getting good seed from the
crib. Well-chosen, homegrown seed of
varieties of proven worth In the COM
nunIty, properly dried Immediately af'
ter 1t has been gathered and carefully
preserved until planting time, produces
the best yields.
As soon as the crop ripens, go
through the field with seed-picklng
bags, and husk the ears from the stalks
that have produced the best corn with
out having had special advantages such
as space, moisture, or fertility. Avoid
the large ears on stalks standing slngly
with an unusual amount of space
around them. Preference should be
given the plants that have produced
most heavily In competition with full
stand of less productive plants. Late
maturing plants with ears which are
heavy because OF an excessive amount
of sap should be ignored. Sappiness
greatly increases the weight and Is
likely to destroy the quality.
In the central and southern states
all other things being equal, short, thick
stalks are preferable. Short stalks ar'
not so easily blown down and permit
thicker planting. Thick stalks are not
so easily broken down, and In genera
are more productive than slender ones
The tendency for corn to produce suck
ers is hereditary. Other things belnt
equal, seed should be taken from stalk
that have no suckers.
Immediately after the seed corn u
gathered the husked ears should b'
put in a dry place where there Is FREE
circulation Of air and placed In sucl
a manner that the ears do not toucl

cedure. Good seed is repeated
