human nature for the farmer to save,
believing they should be best for seed.
are more often than not abnormal ears,
due to late maturing or to some defect
which nature has endeavored to cor
rect during the period of growing by
the use of abnormal methods. AS a
general thing, the offspring of such an
ear is weak
A medium sized ear, say ten and a
half or eleven inches long, with cir
conference of approximately seven
inches, is about right. Straight rows
indicate careful selection and breeding
in the seed which produced the ear,
and for this reason are desirable. On
the other hand, some varieties of corn
are known by their Enthusiastically
crooked rows and should not be dis
eliminated against. An average ear of
the size stated will weigh about IA
ounces when its moisture content is
Is per cent, and it will shrink in length
from one to two inches during the
process of drying. OF course it will
also shrink in circumference, which is
something that is not generally OBJ
served by farmers.
Before the selected corn is finally
stored it must be dried out, so that its
moisture content will fall as low as Is
per cent, If possible. Under such con-
ditions even a very hard freeze will
have little or no effect on the vitality
of the seed. If the drying out process
can be carried on in q room where
there is stove heat, or in another room
near enough to get the heat from a
stove, so much the better.
One of the best and simplest meth
DDS of storing seed corn is to tie it up
with binder Irvine, each string con-
tanning from II to Is ears. These
strings may be suspended from wires
strung in the barn or other places
where the corn is to be kept, and it is
important that the individual ears
should not touch each other. Corn
that is to be used for seed should never
be piled up.
The best place to store corn is some
place where Il is dry, and where there
is room fer the circulation of air
between tne ears or rows. If a room
or attis in the farmhouse can be
utilized for mis- purpose, it makes an
idea. storing place. But if any out
building must be used, care should be
taKen that the spot where the corn is
20 be hung is as free from 1ampness at
all times as possible.

Value of important Farm crops Of
the United States for 1919 as given by
the final report of the department of
agriculture is $14,O92, 100000, COM
pared with $4,000, $4,000, the revised
figures of 1918, an increase of 1892
214,000, based on prices to producers
December l. This is the greatest value
ever given the nations grain crops.
The five grains-wheat, corn, oats,
rye and barley-aggregated 5,35O,344,-
900 bushels, an increase of Al ,541,OO0
bushels over last year. Acreage plant
ed to the principal crops was 359, 1884,
173, compared with 256, 407, 1852 last
year. an increase of 100000 acres.
Value of the five leading grains was
S7.177, 1859 900, compared with $6,761,-
100000, an increase of $415, sos, 900.
The corn crop looms up in valuation
above all others, and is next to the
most valuable ever known, being
worth $685., 234,0o0, or SAFE, 100000
more than last year and 100000 bush
els over previous estimates, with a
crop of 2,917 100000 bushels, the fourth
largest on record, and 49,, 100000 bush
els over last years.
Wheat yield was the second largest
known. 94O,9S7.OOO bushels, gain Of
% 100000 bushels over former returns
and Of 1885,, 600 bushels compared
with last year. and valued at $1,543,-
$4,000, compared with 1921, 438, 900 last
year.
A fall down occurred in oats, with
24S,310,000 bushels, or 2S,00O,OOO
bushels more than previously reported,
but a loss of 290,0O0,OOO bushels from
last year and the shortest in recent
years. Barley was also disappoint-
ment with 165, $4,000 bushels, a loss
of 9O,6OO,000 bushels for the year. Hay
is record crop of 1O8 666, 900 tons, or
I17,50O,000 tons in excess Of 1918. There
is all the feed the country requires
and provides a good surplus for ex-
port.
White potatoes turned out slightly
above early estimates with 357,901 100
bushels, or 100000 bushels short of
last year.
A yield of 1927 $4,000 pounds of
beet sugar was raised, compared with

Injunction Had Origin in
Roman Law Where 1t Took
the Form of an Interdict

The writ of injunction is popularity
supposed to be modern innovation Of
the law, principally by reason of the
extension of its scope in recent years
to cases arising out of labor disputes.
But as early as 1882, the commons
of England appealed to the sovereign
for protection against the barons who
were overriding the processes of the
common law courts and the result was
that these courts were placed under
the protection Of the chancellor, "the
keeper of the kings conscience" who
was empowered to issue certain writs
designed to prevent the abuse of legal
procedure in the lower courts. The
principle, however, of injunction dates
still further back-it had its real
origin in the Roman law, where II
took the form of an interdict.

UNGUARDED GATES

Wide open and unguarded stand our gates,

Portals that lead to an enchanted land
OF cities, forests, fields of living gold.

With not an inch of earth within its bound

Stand level with TIE highest In the law.
OF such a land have men in dungeons
dreamed
And with the vision Frightening in their

Gone smiling to the faggot and the sword.
Wide open and unguarded stand our gates.
And through them presses a wild motley
Men from the volga and the Tartar

Featureless figures of the Hoang-Ho.

Slav,
Flying the old worlds poverty and scorn;
These bringing with them unknown gods
Those. tiger passions. here to stretch

In street and alley what strange tongues

Accents of menace alien to our air,
Voices that once the Tower of Babel

I'LL try want to profit by the

BU when they were several
I'LL times caught without home
grown seed, resulting In
poor crops, they will at
once turn their attention to the Seiec-
ton of plenty of good seed for their
own use as we'll as to sell to their
neighbOrS. If next years corn crop
should be a total or partial failure, IT
might not be possible to harvest any
good seed at all from it. In that event,
this years seed, if properly chosen and
well cared for during the winter
months, will not only be good seed for
1920 but better seed in 1921 than i'm
ported seed will be.
In 1915, in the northern corn belt,
most of the corn failed to mature. We
had little good homegrown seed for
the 1916 planting. This should have
taught us a lesson. We should have
saved a two years supply for seed in
1916, but we didn't In 1917 the corn
again failed to mature and we were
again caught without seed. The result
was that the farmers of the United
States lost millions of dollars because
of the reduced yield in 1913. The
1919 corn crop promises to be one of
the largest on record, and few farm
ers will have any excuse for not saving
an abundance of seed.
To save plenty of good seed is al
ways good business If our surplus Is
not needed for seed 1T will not be
wasted. 1t always will have market
value, or 1t may be fed to stock. If 1t
should be needed for seed. it will be
worth many times it's market value as
grain. We can import potatoes, oats
or wheat. but we cannot import seed
corn and expect to get as good results
as we would get from corn grown in
the immediate ,neighborhood.
