ton. The car was upon the bridge
Another passenger caught him by the
collar and undertook to stop him, but
he protested and pulled away, going

Peaches Are Caught

Chief Warden Bella T. Wass Of
Cherryfield recently landed two OF the
poachers who have been taking sal
mon from the Pleasant river pool at
Columbia Falls. The poachers have
been very careful and up to this cap
ture, had eluded the warden and dep
uties. The two men were Malry
Wiley and Andrew Bagley and they
were taken while using an 1S0-foot
gill net, a 12-pound salmon being also
found in it.
The men were arraigned before
Trial Justice Ashley ST. Clair Of
Calais and pleaded guilty. They paid
fines and costs amounting to $1,000
and their apparatus was forfeited to
| the State.
Justice ST. Clair gave them some
| pointed but wholesome advice, re-
ninding them that while Warden
I Wass had preferred but one charge
in the case, that of fishing within the
| 5oo-yard limit, other charges might
| be preferred unless the poaching
| ceased.
Pleasant river is one of the best
salmon rivers in the State and at this
| season the salmon are going up river
| to the spawning beds in great num-
| bers. Their destruction would mean
the practical extinction Of salmon in
i; this river. The Inland Fisheries and
Game Department last year decided
to build fishways in the dams at Co
lumbia and Columbia Falls and they
| have been completed and in use. 1t
| is hoped that the salmon will thus be
| largely increased and the fishing at
proper seasons become an important
and valuable industry.
Bangor News-F. M. Perkins, fish
! and game warden in charge Of this
section, went to Boston Monday night
for the purpose of meeting the Mass
| achusetts fish and game commission
ers, at their request. Mr.. Perkins
will superintend the building Of fish
ways in Massachusetts,, the commits
sion having received a very favorable
| impression of him on the occasion of
their recent visit to Bangor and other
| had long experience in that business
! and will be able 20 give the best Of
satisfaction in Massachusetts. where

Partisan sage Is a most efficient hair
invigorator, but to Immediately stop
any further loss Of hair and quickly

into the scalp so the starved hair roots
can really absorb it and get the vital

surely be delighted with the first appli-

look and feel 100 per cent. better.
Partisan sage is not expensive. It's
a scientinc prepa ton that supplies all
hair needs-a clean, non-sticky, anti

toilet counters everywhere with guar
antee to give you perfect satisfaction
or money refunded.
Good looking hair is half the battle in
any mans or woman's personal appear

prepared by the United States Depart

Harvesting peanuts before they are
mature, as is often the case among
inexperienced growers, is responsible
for considerable loss in the yield Of
marketable peanuts. A few Of the
peanuts are very likely to mature and
sprOut during rainy weather before
the crop is ready to be dug. The vines
assume q yellowish appearance when
the crop is mature, which Is usually,
but not always, a good indication as
TO the proper time for harvesting.
This, together with the turning brown
and falling off of the lower leaves,
and the plump appearance of the pods
should be the guide in determining the
maturity Of the crop.
After the crop has been dug the
vines should be stacked before the
leaves become dry and have fallen off,
and special care should be given to

SELECTING SEED
CORN IN AUTUMN
Tremendous Loss to Farmers
and Country Due to Planting
of Inferior Seed
FIRST CLASS REQUIREMENTS
Ears Taken From Highest-YieIdino
Rows Produce Better Than Those
Taken From Poorer-Yielding
Rows-Test Each Ear.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
There is each spring a scarcity OF
good seed corn. This condition is all
the more regrettable, because 1t need
not exist; and it is much more serious
than commonly supposed, because
many do not realize fully the tremen-
dous loss to themselves and the cOun-
try due to the planting of inferior seed.
A full stand of plants may be obtained
from inferior seed, but the yield will
not be the best possible. The loss is
due to delay or negligence. 1t can be
prevented by the selection Of seed corn
In the autumn.
To be first class, seed must be:
1. OF a variety we'll adapted to the
seasonal and sell conditions where 1t
is to be planted.
2. Grown on productive plants OF a
productive variety, showing all the de-
sirable characteristics.
3. Well matured, and preserved from
ripening time till planting time in such
a manner as to retain its full vigOr.
Three Important Requirements.
The Importance of the three require
ments just enumerated has been DEM

son. Dropping all other business at
corn-ripening time and selecting, dry
ing and storing at least enough seed to
meet the requirements of two years
planting will insure seed supply for
the second succeeding year in the event
of crop failure the first year. Select
ing seed corn requires the corn grow
er's entire attention. If he will get
the very best that is to be had and pre-
serve 1t we'll, his increased yields will
return him more profit than any other
work he can do on his farm.
In IL years Investigations conducted
upon Scioto river bottom soil near
Piketon, o., with WOODBURY. White
Dent, United States selection II, the
yield was raised from an average of 63
bushels Of dry shelled corn for the
period from 1901 TO 1907 TO an average
of IS bushels for the period from 1907
TO 1913. The principal influence pro-
ducing this increase in yield was the
selection and care Of seed corn.
Ears to Select
AS soon as the crop ripens, the first
step is to go through the field with
seed-picking bags, and husk the ears
from the stalks that have produced the
most corn without having had any
ture or fertility. The large ears on
stalks standing singly with an unusual
amount of space around them should
be avoided. Preference should be
given the plants that have produced
most heavily in competition with a
full stand Of less productive plants. In
all localities the inherent tendency of
the plant to produce heavily of sound,
dry, shelled corn is of most impor-
lance.
The same day seed corn is gathered
the husked ears should be put in a dry
place with free circulation of air and
placed In such position that the ears
do not touch each other. This is the
only safe procedure. Good seed is re-
peatedly ruined because of the belief
that 1t Is already dry enough when
gathered and that the precaution men,
toned above is unnecessary.
In localities where weevils and grain
moths injure stored grain, the thor
oughly dry ears should be stored in
very tight mouse-proof receptacles,
with one pound of moth balls or naph-
thalene inclosed for each bushel of
corn. This quantity tightly inclosed
with the corn will prevent damage
from these insects and will not injure
the seed.
