SEED CORN TIME NEARS: z.>. :-.,.. !.
SEPTEMBER 1920 THE DATES

Minnesota, once regarded as no-corn
state, now ranks eighth among the
state OF the union in the number Of
bushels of corn produced annually. tn.
the last decade the production of corn
in Minnesota has been doubled. 81 81
Striking progress like. this is not the
result of chance. There is reason
for 1t and, in this case, the reason is
not hard to find. IS Ss.s 49, s . s
Seed corn selection, as preached by
the Minnesota Agricultural College
and practiced by the progressive farm
ers Of Minnesota, has played large
part in the wonderful corn growing
record made in the state. Seed corn Sc
lection has helped to extend the corn
belt from the southeast corner Of the;
state to the very extreme northwest
corner. It has improved the quality Of
the corn as well as the acre yield, and.
has aided In building up the livestock
industry and in enhancing the fertility
OF the soil. The clean cultivation re-
qu1red by corn has helped to reduce
the annual tax which weeds levy upOn
the farmer. So
Special attention is again called this
year by the agricultural extension di-
vision Of the state university to seed
corn time, September 1920. Selected
seed that has smatured before those
dates is very likely. to mature before
the correspO pOnding dates in 1921. Thus
the danger Of losses by frost is mini
mized. More than enough corn ears
for the requirements Of planting next
year should be selected well shaped
ears Of medium size and good variety !
ears with kernels that are well denteds
and that fill all the space on the cob
and are well shaped. sa ~
Minnesota can and will continue to-
improve it's position among corn grow
ing states In the future as In the past.
Seed corn selection. time is well estab-
lished lin the state and results from It
will continue to gather force.

she has become. William, the eldest
of the family, outlived all the rest, but
others Of the group partook of his
rugged constitution. and two of the
brothers died during the present year,

Jack Dempsey May
 Fight M England
This Will Be Case Providing No Suitable Place Is

New York, Nov. 38-In the event that no suitable place can be found in this country to hold the forth coming heavyweight boxing cham pionship bout between Jack Dempsey, worlds champion, and Georges Car pentier, European title holder, the contest may be staged in England, it was reported in generally well in formed circles here today.
 The promoters are known to have held a number of conferences on the choice of a battle-ground within the last few days and it was intimated today an official announcement may be made within a short time,
 Neither Tex Rickard, one of the trio of promoters, nor Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, would admit that negotiations had been started to hold the contest abroad, but Kearns said Dempsey's formerly expressed an tipathy to going outside the United States had been virtually overcome.
 The proposition to shift the fight abroad was said to have been prompt ed by coldness exhibited by members of the State Boxing Commission to- ward holding it in this state. It was admitted that Charles B. Cochran the English co-promoter, is tentative ly negotiating for a suitable site near London in case plans to hold it in l this country are not consummated.

New York, Nov. 30.-Names that will long be remembered by football enthusiasts who follow the fortunes of the Big Fhree,H are those of Char ley Buell., Don Lourie. Tim Callahan and Arnold Horween.
 Here is a quartet whose feats stood out in bright relief amid the doings of the big trio during. the greatest season football has ever known.
 Don Lourie, versatile exponent of the forward pass and the twisting, lodging, skidding, open-field run, de serves first rank among the quarter backs of the country this year. He is surely entitled to the pivotal position on every experts mythical eleven, and it Is a bet that he will win recognition from a majority. The Tiger quarter back is 8 dynamo of actien, a good field general and an a1l-around star. He is nearly as good defensive player as he is on offense and his work in every big Princeton game was an outstanding feature.
 Charley Buell., who halls from Hartford, Conn.,, and whose work in handling the forward pass and boot ing field goals won him recognition as Harvard's brightest star, has all ready enhlazoned his name in liar vard-Ya1e records. His two field goals against Yale and the manner in Which he handled the big Crimson team won him enough glory to last the average football player a lifetime.

Wonderful team play and brilliant shooting by Red Willians gave Bridgeport a victory over Worcester, 10 to 5, at the Casino last night and aEain emonStrated that the Mar athoners are now in their stride ready for a climb up the ladder in the Amer ican Roller Polo league. Jim Cam eron, half back on the local team, played d wonderful game last night and thrilled the fans in the second period when he took the ball down the field, darting here and there, in and out, and finally put the ball be- tween Purcel1s legs for the goal. He was given a great ovation for his work.
 Like cIockwork the team play of the Bridgeport team unfolds itself. When Cameron is going down the
 field. Doc Harold automatically falls back into g. position where he is able to stop any of the visitors rushes should they get away from Williams or Quigley, These plays bring out the very best in the team and Bridgeport has profited by these plays in the past several weeks
 Joe Waters was the official in the
 game last night and he did very well.
 Three fouls were called by him during the game, two on the home club and one on the visitors. Neither of the fouls resulted in goals, but Bridgeport was dangerously near the three foul mark which brings the forfeiting of
 one goal. This might have bothered the locals, but they drew away from Worcester in the last few minutes of | playing.
 There will be no game on Thursday night as scheduled. This is because there will be a chicken, pigeon and
 pet stock show. The next game will | be on Monday night when a, pre1im- | mary contest will be played between
