Ames, Aug. 26.-The two weeks,
Sept. 20 to oct. ;, will be seed corn
weeks in Iowa This period is des-
ignated by Governor W. l.. Harding,
in proclamation issued yesterday,
as time for ali farmers TO se..c,
their seed corn for the ensuing year.
Scarcity of good seed corn last
year and in other years has made ad-
Visabie definite campaign to secure
seed corn. says Governor Harding.
Wages are high and hired help
hard to secure" reads the proclama-
ton. 1t is therefore primarily es-
sentlal that everything possible .e
done to increase the production OF
corn per man power. One hundred
per cent seed corn will very greatly
increase the production of the corn
per acre and the production per man
power.
Permit me again to urge every
farmer to save enough seed corn ,nis
fall to supply his needs for next sea-
son and. if possible a surplus for the
following season. BY doing this you
are following sound business prh-
ciple, as well as rendering a service
to agriculture generally and our
whole country"

about once in every three years ac-
cording to F. G. Churchill. extension

Iowa State College. This frost.
says Mr.. Churchill, lis severe enough
in injure corn for seed purposes.
Iowa has not had severe frost in
September since 1917 and 1t is only
logical to believe that we may receive
frost during September this ysa,.
AThe fact that the temperature has
been unusually low this summer
adds to this belief
The average date for the first kill
ing frose is Oct 10. Seed corn
should be selected by Oct to allow
time for drying before the frost.
Last year, with ideal weather con-
ditions. many farmers neglected to
save a surplus of seed corn. AS a
result there was q keen demand for
seed corn last spring. The price

Baseball Leaders
Against Jaunts

Baseball managers aren't very
strong boosters for transforming
trips any more.
The question Of leading their
teams up to the fire on opening day
in perfect condition Is one Of theiI
biggest worries.
Next spring viii find many Of
the big league clubs sticking closer
to their camps than ever. Some Of
them had very disastrous migratory
trips last year.
Even the sandwiching In of ex.
hibItion games on of days during
the season is being frowned on.
1t is argued that high.salaried
stars don't play up to their preYi..
ously advertised regulations and
thus cheaper the game in the
minds of the public.
All exhibition games are more
or less farcial. Players do not like
to take chances and they don't as
a rule.
Clubs have tried to get back
some OF the expenses OF a training
camp by exhibition tours. But tho
little collected hardly pays them
for the chances they take.
The best argument for extra
games is that they break mp long
train rides.
The Yankees with Babe Ruth are
probably the only club that would
draw very much through the turn.
stiles in exhibition games next
spring. They'll probably take ad.
vantage of It, too.
But on the whole transforming
tours don't do ball club any good,
financially or otherwise.

Baseball Pays It's Hired
Very Handsome Salaries Now
By DEAN SNYDER.

Baseball pays It's hired men wen.
When President Navin Of the De-
roit club said "sign here" Ty
Cobb became the highest paid play

John McGraw Is said to receive q
stipend OF $4,000 from the Golfers
OF the Giants. But McGraw holds
stock in the club.
On August 90, 1905. Cobb came
to Detroit from Augusta. The
price paid for the Georgia Jewel
was $500. Few investments pay as
big dividend as this one.
Ranking man in baseball from
the salary angle is Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Landis, the one-man base

box office bank roll is S42,500 with
$4,000 extra for travelling ex-
penses.
The judge still retains his seat
on the bench for which he gets
$500 yearly, boosting his pay en-
yelope to $4,000.
iris Speaker, the only other
playing manager in the big leagues,
is said to have drawn $4,000 for
his work in 1920. Since winning
a world championship for the In

check will probably be substantial
