is more difficult to handle when cut
ting.
A more important reason than either
of these is the fact that low ears are a
sign of early maturity while ears that
are placed high are practically always
found Of later maturing kind.
Ears that are pendant or hanging
should be selected as they are more
likely to be dry than those that are
upright. Ears standing erect are more
likely to have decayed kernels on this
account.
Since we expect to harvest corn
similar to that which we plant it is
wise to consider all these factors OF
selection. By sodding we are certain to
have better class of seed than were
if selected from the shock at husking
time or from the crib in the spring.
Do not delay the selection of youl
seed corn but get it now. If you car
select none from your own farm Sc
cure it from neighbor who has the
corn. Delay may mean poor unsat
isfactory lot of seed corn for man!
farmers next year
Do not use seed corn that is not ma
tive to Medina county. The War EN-
ergency corn sold last spring to NEE
the critical situation on hand thel
should not be retained as it is too lat
in maturing for our conditions. Their
is much corn that has been grown il
the county for years that will furnis
excellent seed and if purchased thi
fall the supply will meet the demanc
1t will cost you less and be NOR
satisfactory as seed than if you wal
' till spring.

1918 CORN CROP SHOWS BIG LOSS

Heavy loss in the prospective corn
crop, but a considerable increase in
the forecast of spring wheat produc-
tion featured the September corn re-
port issued Monday by the depart
ment of agriculture.
Lack of rain curing August in the
principal producing section of the corn
belt caused reduction of 317 100000
bushels in the crop forecast, bringing
the loss in prospective production
since July 1, to 87,000,00O bushels,
representing more than 100000.
A corn crop of 2,672,000,000 bushels
this year was forecast from Sept.
conditions. That would be almost
half billion bushels less than last
years crop and slightly smaller than
the average crop the five years from
1912 to 1916.
There was an increase of q, 900 900
bushels in the forecast of spring wheat
production, bringing the prospective,
crop to 343,0O0,OOO bushels. With
the winter wheat crop of 556,000,000
bushels, previously announced, this
years total wheat crop will be $780,
100000 bushels. This is almost $780,
100000 bushels more than was har-
vested last year and 900,000,000 bu-
shells more than the 1926 harvest.
Estimates of other crops compared
with those made a month ago showed
various changes. Oats had 49,000,-
900 bushel increase, tobacco TO-
100000, pound loss, hay 100000
ton loss and white potatoes 5000, 900
bushel loss.
/. Other changes were: Barely, a.
100000 bushels increase; sweet pota-
toes 3,500,000 bushels increase; flax
100000 bushels increase, and rice
100000 bushels increase.
Heaviest reduction in the corn pro-
' duction forecast came from Kansas
with a loss of 62,OOO,OOO bushels, Ne.
braska with 60,0OO,000 bushels, Mis-.
souri, with 57000,000 bushels, Illinois
e with 100000 bushels and lowe

may be that he has never achieved the presi-

theorist in the country and the most Tar

This comment is inspired by tho recent act
OF President Wilson in taking over the rai'-
roads OF the country. the first direct step
toward government ownership OF the Ameri-
can transportation system. This is the last
of the original Bryan policies to be put into
practice. His championship OF such measure
twelve years ago brought upon him national
ridicule and no doubt cost him the presi-
dental nomination in 1904. But he has lVed

repeal of this law.
Direct election of United States Senators
was demanded by Bryan long before his own
party was willing to support such project.
But he was not deferred. He first went out
to convert Democrats TO his convictions upon
this issue. and. having won his party over
