FALL BEST TIME TO SELECT
SEED CORN FOR NEXT YEAR
Should not be Left Until Spring When Good Seed Corn is
Scarce-Requirements for First Rate Seed and
Points to be Considered in it's Selection

Early selection of seed corn is of
special Importance this year, ac-
cording to specialists of the De-
partmcnt of Agriculture. Much of
the corn is at least two weeks late,
and early fall frost would cause a
repetition of the conditions in 1917,
when a large part of the corn crop
was frozen and was unfit for seed.
The following spring, seed corn was
very scarce and high.
Good seed corn is the secret of a
good corn crop, and autumn is the
time for the selection of corn to be
planted the following season. Many
farmers put off seed selection until
the sprino when there is scarcity of
good seed corn. There is ianger in
this delay every year, but when the
crop is late, as it is this year, the
danger is especially great. Each
spring the Department of Agriculture
receives reports from manv sections
telling of the willingness Of farmers
to pay good prices for seed corn and
their inability to obtain it.
This scarcity could be prevented
by selecting the seed when it most
abundant and when the very best can
be obtained-at ripening time when it
has been in no way reduced in vtali-
ty. Many let this opportunity pass,
the farmers EXPECTING to purchase
their seed corn only to find that they
can not buy as good seed as they
could have selected in the autumn.
REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRST
Until community has its eXper
fenced and honest corn breeder, the
best place for the farmer to obtain
seed corn is from fields on his own
farm or in his neighborhood that
were planted with variety that has
generally proved most successful in
that locality. By far too many farm
ers consider seed good simply be-
cause it will grow. To be first class,
seed corn must be
Well adapted to the seasonal and
soil conditions where it is to be
planted.
From well-grown productive plants
o a productive variety.
Well matured and preserved from
time to planting time in g.
manner that will retain its full pro-
ductivity.
The Importance of these three re-
QUirements has been demonstrated
through experiments by the Office
of Corn Investigations, Bureau of
Plant Industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and the re-
suits given in Farmers Bulletin No.
1175; recently published by the de-
partmcnt.
At corn ripening time, specialists
of the department advise, drop all
other business and select an abund-
ance Of seed corn. The process is
too important to be conducted Incl
dentally while husking. Seed corn
should be selected from stalks stand
ing where they grew. In this way the
seed corn can be obtained from
Stalks that have an inherent ten
dency to yield well, as shown by
their superiority over surrounding
stalks that grew under similar condi-
tons. Such seed inherits high-pro-
ducing power.
Stalks without suckers. Such seed
produces fewer suckers than seed
from sucker bearing stalks.
Storm proof stalks with ears at
desirable height.
Stalks that are free from disease. |

 SALMON CREEK PICNIC

The Moose picnic yesterday after noon was attended by approximately $50 persons, all of whom reported jolly time.
 Besides dancing at the roadhouse to the music of Larson's orchestra. games and sports for the young people and grown ups furnished a lot Of interest. Perhaps the hit of the day was the woman's tug of war
 All kinds of good things to eat. including five gallons of ice cream made the day most interesting to those who had open air appetites.
 The Moose part of the picnic fin- ished at o'clock in the evening but many remained later to. dance at the roadhouse.

1t looks like q revival Of automobile
interest for 1920. Plans have been
made by the Duesenberg people for an
attack with their eight-cylinder ma
chine on the straightaway records made
last year in Florida by Ralph Dc Palma
with the Packard. De Palma, by the
way, has sold his Packard racing cars
and will drive tho Ballot car, eight
cylinders set all in row. The Dues
enberg racing cars also have this ar
rangement, for which certain mechan-
ical advanta tages are claimed.
The Fiat company announces its in
tention TO enter all competitive events
in this country. and will put cars into
the 500 mile race at Indianapolis. 1t
is within the possibilities that Dario
Resta will undertake to race n Sun
beam car this year. Resta is the
American concessionaire for the Sun
beam car, and perhaps business will
not allow him to drive in contests. No
better driver could be secured. Of
course, for the Sunbeam. so it is likely
he will undertake the job.

Essex Revealed

Interest i'm Industrial
Achievement of the Year

Behind the recent public announce
ment that the Essex was designed by
Hudson engineers and built In the Hud-
son factory lies an interesting story OF
industrial achievement" says Harry S.
Houpt, president of the Hudson Motor
Car Company of New York, Inc.
"Some Of the facts have been known
for months in trade circles. but few
outside Of the industry knew that the
Essex was a Hudson product, the re-
suit of Hudson achievement and ex-
perience. When the Essex was first
introduced year ago nothing was said
about the builders and the secret was
kept for nearly twelve months.
In all this time not a single claim
vas made for the Essex. The motoring
public merely was invited to take
ride in it and form its own opinion.
The identity Of the builders was held
in mystery, the advertisements merely
stating that tho Essex would speak for
itself
The result is now automobile his
tory. More than 10000 cars, valued
above $4,000 900, were sold in less
than twelve months. It's teats have
established new motoring standards for
economy, endurance and reliability. 1t

and the wheels move at engine speed,
or about 1000 r. p. M. it would give d
speed OF 5000 feet minute, OF almost
two miles. This would be too fast for
anything but racing car. So the
driving shaft gear usually has about
ono fourth as many teeth as the driven
gear, producing l 900 r. p, m. Of engine,

In Hail Of Fame

An effort to secure place in the
Hall OF Fame for Charles Goodyear,
the inventor of the process of vul-

rubber industry to-day, will be
made this year by leading figures
in the rubber world.
Elections to the Hall Of Fame
take place every Ave years, and
1920 is one of the years for making
selections.
Colonel S. P. Colt, chairman Of
the board Of directors Of she United
States Rubber Company, has already
inaugurated movement to bring
the claims Of Charles Goodyear to
the attention Of the 100 electors
who will vote on candidates, and as
q first step has written letter Of
formal nomination to Robert I'm

Hall Of Fame.
