the hall joined in. Instantly certain white
delegations took up the refrain. The plat
form and balconies joined. In moment
5000 voices were singing the most popular
of the Southern Negro hymns, Beloved Be-
loved Now Are We the Sons Of Cod.
''Bishop w. p. Thirkield was in the chair.
He has passed nearly thirty years in edu-
cational and religious work among the Ne
groes of the South When the singing be-
gan lie could have stopped it with the gavel.
That would probably have been the digni-
fed thing to do But he did not stop it; he
did not try to stop it. Nobody wanted him
to try to stop it. He just smiled approval
and the storm of jubilation burst, and what
a storm it was It was no ftful intermit-
tent little squal, but strong onrushing tenn
pest that in a moment became impossible.
''When the hymn was sung another was
taken up. This time it was low and plain
tive melody, and as the subdued, almost
whispered notes rooted out the emotions
of the vast throng they were stirred deeply.
Tears ran down white and black faces, while
handkerchiefs came out in hundreds. The
demonstration was not stopped 1t was not
intended. 1t was as great a surprise to
those who were later swept into participa-
ton. The psychology Of the thing was ut
terly plain.
"For thirty years those coored people had
been led to believe that the church was 60
ing to give them bishop and they looked
toward the day with eager anticipations. But
a half-dozen times, when the prize seemed
to be within their grasp, it eluded them.
Now. after these years Of waiting and disap-
pointment the great thing had really come
to pass.
''The realization of victory came to their
colored delegations as they saw Doctor
Claire marching up the long aisle and as
cending the platform steps. and the impulse
sing song of joy could not be held in
check T was one of the supreme moments
of the great council It will never be for
gotten by those who were swept into par
ticipaton or by the few who resisted the
ontagion and critically looked on.''

THOSE COLORED BISHOPS

In discussing the scenes attending the
election of the two colored Bishops at the
General Conference Of the M. b. Church at
Des Moines Bishop Joseph d. Berry wrote
of it to the Philadelphia Ledger as follows:
''The demonstration upon the election Of
Bshop-elect Jones exceeded that which fol-
lowed the election of any white man. The
colored delegates and visitors went wild
with delight It was some minutes before
the outburst could be quieted. And when
it was finally accomplished the chairman
showed evidence of hard usage.
''Bishop Clair's election came the next
day, and when the announcement was made,
the demonstration caused the senior bishop
to ask the question in his communication,
Was it a general conference or camp
meeting?' Describing the happenings, he
wrote:
GA group of half dozen colored dele
gates near the platform began to sing softly,
while some other groups in that part of

NOT YET FULLY CIVILIZED
Solomon islanders at Times Apt to Go
Back to Pleasant Diversion of
Head Hunting.

The Solomon islands are famous as
one of the last strongholds of head
hunting and cannibaIism. Some Of
the natives have been converted to
civilized respect for human life, but
the native taste OF the Solomon island
er still approves a ceremonial feast
once in a while, with several members
of hostile tribe lastly cooked and
served.
Head-hunting has for centuries been
a part of the islanders religion and
is pursued with great zeal and kind
of ecstatie enjoyment to all except
the victims. Head-hunters from one
tribe set out for a hunt to the lands
of another tribe. They swoop down
on village, seize as many victims as
possible and escape. The trophies of
the chase are impaled on posts as evil
dence Of the hunters prowess, while
the feast which follows consists main
ly of the victims.
If the attacked tribe knows of the
plan beforehand it will retire to IFS
tree houses. where it is safe for a
while. These houses are built fifty or
sixty feet from the ground in the
branches of giant trees. Ladders hang
from them and up these the agile ma
tives climb and then pull up the lad
der.
Usually a hunt is now instituted
only for one or two sacrifices, aud
skulls as decorations in the houses are
less fashionable than they once were.
This is a favorable sign, but the real
Solomon islander is far from tame and
it apt to relapse any time into the
ways of his fathers.

WONDERFUL WORK OF NATURE
Grand Canyon of Arizona, Now a
National Park, Called Most Sub
lime of Earthly Spectacles.

Grand Canyon National park, i'm the
northwest corner of Arizona, is the
newest of our national Fairgrounds.
having been brought into the national
park family by an act of congress in
1919.
The canyon is titanic cash in the
earth's crust, stupendous chasm, in
places 10 to Is miles wide from rim
to rim, over 200 miles long and more
than a mile deep. This wonder OF
Nature. said to be the most sublime of
earthly spectaeles, is a composite of
thousands and tens Of thousands OF
gorges.
Long years ago bronzed savageS
built their dwellings on the sides OF
its cliffs. In 1910 one of the early
Spanish explorers stood on its brink
and gazed with awe at its vastness:
a Franciscan priest 200 years later
was the next white visitor; then for
more than so years the big canyon re-
mained unvisited except by indians
and an occasional herdsman or trap
per.
Now the skill of man has made If
accessible both by train and by auto
mobile. and every year thousands of
tourists view this browning wonder Of
the American west.

less productive than the other kernels
on the ear; the thick rounded kernels
from the butts are just as productive
as any of the rest, but because of
their shape and size they do not plant
uniformly when used in corn plant
err with other kernels.
Smelling by hand takes more time
and labor, but is profitable. The me-
chanical corn shelter will injure some
of the kernels, and thus destroy or
reduce their power to grow and yield.
No matter how large the required sup
ply, says the department, 1t will still
pay to shell it painstakingly by hand,
because the greater the acreage to
be planted the greater the ultimate
profit.
Each ear should be shelled sepa-
rately into a shallow pan or box. and
any blemished, poorly developed, moIdy
or worm-eaten kernel should be re-
jected.
AS the seed from each ear is found
satisfactory and sound, and free from
poor kernels. it is poured into the gen.
eraI supply and another ear is shelled
in the same way. 1t is much easier
to pick out defective kernels from
thin layer in a small sieve than from
a large, mingled quantity in 4 L.!shel
measure or a bag.

Inc quantity and quality of the corn
you will harvest next fall depend. first
on the kind of seed you plant this
spring. Perfect culture ard the best
weather in the world cannot remedy
the initial evil If you plant poor seed.
A good seed corn, say specialists of
the United States department of agrf-
culture, Is one that is adapted to the
locality, Is grown on the most produc-
tive plants Of productive variety, is
well matured, and preserved from ri
pening to planting time in such a way
that the full vigor of the seed will be
retained.
1t should have been selected In the
fall from the stalk, but If that was
neglected all that can be done now is
to obtain a uniform type of seed true
to varietal characteristics and that will
grow.
sproutlne Not Whole Story.
2 The mere fact that the kernels will
sprout in germinator is not the whole
story. Recent experiments have shown
that weak sprouts may be indications
of disease, that similar seed when
planted is likely not to sprout and, If
it does, will grow only few inches or
at best, produce a barren stalk.
Corn that will come up but that will
produce an improbable crop is worse
than seed which won't grow at all, be-
cause it fools the farmer into wasting
labor and land on it. Know what your
seed will do by selecting it yourself.
Cheap seed corn may prove very
dear; the seed corn that produces the
best crop usually is the cheapest.
If you must buy seed, pay your
neighbor q reasonable price for select
ed, well-preserved seed Of a variety
that has made good in a neighboring
field; but don't pay stranger fancy
price for seed claimed to give miracu-
lous yields.
Points on Preparing for Planting Seed.
Seed ears should first be nubbed, and
the kernels from tip and butt should
be discarded from the seed supply.

Cereals, such as corn. wheat and

These grains are staple breadstutfs,
but the general practice of farmers is
TO buy -four and meal rather than
grind or have their own grain ground
for home use, says the United States
department of agriculture. In certain
sections where custom gristmills are
found, farmers still have some grain
ground into flour and meal for home
use. Occasionally farmer is found
who has his own little mill and who
makes his own -four and meal.
The average farm family consumes
about six barrels of flour in year
In the South the average annual con-

RAe-DoLL TESTER rs
SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT

The rag-doll method of test
ing individual ears of corn is one
of the simplest and most eco
nomical, and is efficient, says
the United States department of
agriculture.
The tester consists Of a strip
of cloth, preferably bIeached
muslin, 16 inches wide and from
three to five feet long. The
cloth should be marked off into
square sections and the squares
all numbered. The ears to be
tested should also be given cor
responding numbers. Six or
more kernels should be selected
from different parts of each ear,
and placed in the proper sec
ton.
When the tester Is filled, fold
over each side so that the edges
meet in the center, roll up, and
soak the tester for a few hours
In lukewarm water. Drain off
the excess water and place the
dolls in a warm place for the
seed to terminate. They should
be covered with a wet cloth to
keep them moist, and in about
five days the seed should be suf-
ficiently we'll terminated to show
its fitness for planting.
Farmers Bulletin 94s, "The
Rag-Doll Seed Tester" describes
fully this method of testing seed
