 Mir. Harding has twice repre- sented the Thirteenth Senatorial District of Ohio in the state legls- lature, served one term as lleuten- ant-governor, refusing to stand for reelection; and he is now nearing the close of his first term as United States senator from Ohio. The ac- count continues:
 When he came into this wider sphere of action his experience.in the state legislature served good purpose, and he speedily arose to a commanding place. His fund of knowledge, and his wide experience with men and affairs gave him a comprehensive grasp of the prob lems with which the public service has to deal; and on his first en- trance into the arena it became ap- parent to his fellow senators that he was no novice, but one we'll qualified to render valuable service; and his utterances on the floor of the Senate have invariably com manded respectful attention.
 Senator Harding has ever the courage of his conviction, even though his stand should engender serious opposition. He early ad- vocated preparedness while others were clamoring for peace at any price. He sponsored the bill for preparedness which had the ,n- 'dorsement of Colonel Roosevelt,

Wrangell Boy Making Good

 While Cash Cole was not born in Wrangell, he spent most of his boyhood days here, so much so that we claim him as a Wrangell boy. He is now engaged in very suc- cessful transfer business at the capital city, where he has most attractive home. On visiting there, one can easily discover why Cash is making good. Who would rot be willing to work day and night for such capable wife and two de- lightful small boys.
 Cash, on being interviewed said, II am not going into politics be- cause need the money. 1 know something about Alaska's needs, and I am anxious to contribute my bit toward meeting them. I believe in good schools. I will not be the legislator who has call to the lobby when there is to be a vote taken on an important issue. I am acquainted with the needs of the southern end of the district. l have a host of friends there, and will endeavor to represent them as we'll as if my home were in that part of the district.
 Wrangell should be glad to SUD- port such candidate. Why not, as far as Wrangell is concerned, make the vote for him unanimous

and he was so closely associated with him during it's pendency that it came to be widely rumored through the press that Colonel Roosevelt regarded him the coming man of 1920. This close contact gave each a high regard for the sincerity and singleness of purpose of the other in arousing an unsuS- pecting people to a sense of im- pending danger in those crucial hours; and this intimacy continued nntil the lamented death this most flaming and strenuous advocate of Americanism.
 The recent utterances of Senator Harding on the peace treaty and other questions which are now pressing for solution prove him to be a man of poise, not easily swayed by clamor or passionate appeal, and capable of exercising deliberate judgment even amid the turmoil of bitter partisan strife. Two years after the unfortunate schism which resulted in turning Ohio into the Democratic column in 1oI2, Senator Harding was cleo ted to the United States Senate by a majority of more than one hun dred thousand, running seventy three thousand ahead of the next highest on the ticket. In his case there was a complete cementing ot the opposing factions.
 His selection as chairman of the National Con. ention soon after he entered the Senate, and without factional strife, bore evidence of his high standing in the party throughout the nation.
 The important work which he has done on the committee on Foreign Relations, and other com mittees of which he IS a member, has brought him in close touch with the great questions. both foreign and domestic, with which the next Administration will have to deal.

MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURE

Investigator

Of Agriculture has found that where
good specimens Of fruit and vege-
tables are stored in boxes or crates Ia
rooms such as cellars or caves good
ventilation must be provided. This
can be accomplished in several ways.
First. make sure that all the con-
tainers as boxes, barrels and crates
have openings so as to permit a good
circulation Of air. Bore holes in
sides and bottoms or cut Stats in the
sides. Second, be sure that some
means is provided whereby there will
be a good circulation Of air in the
storage room. Openings are usually
found in the top Of all cellars or
caves. but unless some means is pro-
vided to admit the cold air to the
floor there will not he much ventila.
tion even when there is an opening
at the top. Often six inches cut of
the bottom Of the door will provide
a good circulation Of air. This op-
ening can be covered with wire net
ting to exclude rats and cats. This
circulation can also be provided by
laying a 10-inch tile from the out
side to the center of the floor.
Remember to have the outside open
ing at least two feet lower than the
opening in the floor.
With these simple suggestions fol-
lowed in providing a means of ven
tilation any one should be able to
keep fruit and vegetables. As a rule
the nights are cool in the fall and by
opening all ventilators at night and
closing them in the day it is possible
to keep the storage room very near
the night temperature.

now To SELECT SEED CORN

POW TO SELECT SEED CORN
Selecting seed from the field just
previous to cutting the crop, or when
the corn is ripe enough to cut, is by
far the most satisfactory method of
selection. Not only does this early
gathering insure plenty Of time for
the ears to dry out thoroly before
freezing weather but It permits the
selection Of ears from the most Wig
orous and healthy plants and from the
stalks that most nearly meet the
growers ideal in regard to height,
location Of the ear, the angle Of the
ear, etc. Like produces like and con-
tinued selection for these character
istics will tend to produce a strain OF
corn in which all the plants approach
the ideal sought for.
In general we may say that the va
rieties Of corn grown in Kentucky
would be improved If we could secure
more stocky and shorter plants, with
the ears carried uniformly lower
down on the stalk. Such a type Of
corn would be easier to harvest and
be less likely to be blown down by
strong winds. In addition it is de-
sirable that the tips of the ears hang
downward. as such ears shed rain
better and are less likely to be dam
aged. Another desirable character
istic is uniformity in maturity.
Only by field selection can we hope
to influence the type of plant.
Experiments have not shown that
any particular type of ear is better
than another, as far as yield is con-
cerned. Thus the grower may suit
his own fancy in selecting type of
ear. Uniformity Of type is desirable,
however, as an indication Of careful
selection and breeding. It is natural
to select large ears for seed and there
is some evidence that the selection
cf large ears may have some in
fluence upon yield.
Soundness and freedom from dis
ears are the most important quail
ties to be sought for.
A convenient arrangement for
gathering seed ears is a grain sack
suspended over the shoulder as is
done in broadcasting grain by hand.
It is an added convenience to have
the mouth of the sack held open with
hoop. If most Of the husks carried
in the sack.
Selection at Husking Time
Field selection is so much more de-
sirable than any other method that
it should be employed If possible.
The next best time to select is when
the first corn is husked. While good,
sound ears can be selected at this
time, one has no knowledge of the
type of plant on which they were
produced. The best ears can be
gathered while husking and thrown
aside, or the selection can be made
while loading and unloading the corn.
The first method offers the best |
chance of getting the best ears, how
ever.
Select Enough Seed for Two Years
When the crop is a good one, II is
an excellent idea to select enough
seed for two years, as, in some sea-
sens because of drought or some
other cause, it is difficult to find good |
seed ears. Gather a liberal supply,
as one always finds ears tina. must
be discarded when the corn is sncl.ed
end frequently fields must be planted
twice.
