Select Seed Corn From The Standing
Stalks

Paving over the ears of corn after
they have been stored away in the
crib and picking seed from the likeli-
est looking ears is a method that be-
longs to the days of the ox-team and
the cradle.
Up-to-date farmers nowadays choose
their seed corn from the standing
stalks where they can observe grow
ing conditions, and thus often i'm
mensely increase the value of a given
lot of seed.
When selecting seed corn in the
field, keep your out for the sturdy
upright stalk of medium height and
thickness, with short joints and broad
leaves carried well down, which stands
in an average soil. Then look for an
a well matured and set fairly low, of
medium-size cob, a not too large butt,
and a husk protecting the tip. Re-
Wondering also that the good ear is
better than two nubbins. Be satisfied
with the single good ear on the stalk
when the stand is thick.
Another advantage of selecting corn
in this way is that stalk characters
tics can be noted and selections, made
accordingly. For instance, the more
or less hereditary tendency to pro-
duce suckers can be reduced by selec-
ton; stalks blown over by storms are
inherently weak and should be avoid
ed; under no circumstances should
ears from diseased stalks be consider
ed. The question of early or late ma
turity, an important one in some parts
Of the country, can be solved also, as
by selection the time of maturity may
be shortened or heightened.
Some growers mark the selected
stalks and cut them after the rest of
the field has been harvested; others
cut and carry to the side of the field
where they are shocked separately
Rapid drying out before cold weather
comes is very necessary when corn is
picked and husked from the standing
stalk. In doing this hang up the
ears, being very careful that they dc
not touch one another.
When selecting corn in the field il
is hard for the grower to pay as
much attention as he would like to the
ear characteristics. 1t is a good plan
therefore, to select two or three times
as much seed as is needed, and to &C
over it again in the spring with al
eye to ear characteristics. Otter
growers carry forward good seed from
me spring to the next in case Of
emergency that might arise from un-
favorable weather or storing condi.

Cultivate Reliance

In his paper, "The Dearborn indie
pendent, Henry Ford, of Ford car
fame, says many good things. Note
this wholesome advice: "Above all,
we should devote ourselves to the Gull
tivation of the Old-fashioned virtue of
self-reliance in u people. Americans
were formerly self-relliant; Americans
in blood and spirit doubtless form the
self-reliant part of our population
now. The way to help mar to
helf himself is to get the idea firmly
rooted in his understanding that his
help himself is to get the idea firmly
basis of our much boosted self-gov-
eminent. Only a self-reliant people
can be self-governing, and if we have
found the government slipping away
from ourselves, we may take it as a
sign that we are losing our national
virtue Of self-reliance. There is some
thing tragically comic in laZily rely
ing ON a government that relies on us.
Let every American become
self-respective to resent coddling,
Americans ought to resent coddling
like a drug. Stand up and stand out;
let weaklings take charity; we will
haze Rights because we will simply
90 to work and make them; create
them. and then enjoy them
In pioneer days, when every man
was largely dependent upon himself
for subsistence and for protection,
Americans developed the spirit which
has made America great. In u
West. where individuality is main
tanned. we find Americanism at its
best. As mar can not fully realize
himself out Of society, associations
are needful; but when they destroy
initiative and self-reliance, the virlllty
of civilization wanes. Today, instead
of doing things ourselves, We demand
that Congress and Legislatures, Coun-
ellis and Leagues shall do for US what
we ought to do on our W Initiative.
Laws are needed to restrain evll-doefs,
but little law is necessary for con-
constructive achievement when men
have confidence in themselves. Most
of our troubles in this age grow out
of the dependency which has been
created by complex organization. We
cannot now eliminate organization,
but we should simplify, and cease to
ask Congress and Councils to do for
US what we can do better ourselves.
If Congress would pass a few obvi-
ously needed laws and then adjourn,
the people would cease to expect arti-
fetal relief and would undertake &C
Invites that would bring results. We
are a strange people; we elect medi-
OGRE men to Legislature and Congress
and then expect them to perform
commercial and industrial miracles.
It is time for every red-blooded Amer
lean to become disguised with him
self and go to work making things
turn up.

NEW COURSE FOR RUTGERS
Principles of Business and Manage
ment To Be Taught

Rutgers has embarked on a new
policy in Offering evening courses in
business administration. Courses of
this character have been offered for
several years by New York Univer-
sity and the University of Pennsylva-
MIA, and more recently by Columbia
University. DR.. Charles H. Elliott,
the Director Of Extension Courses,
said:
eve have desired to offer a pro-
gram of business courses, but it has
been impossible to arrange for the
teaching until this year. 1t is our in
tention to offer such courses in the
college buildings at New Brunswick
during the first term of this year. In
the second term we shall offer courses
at Plainfield, Trenton and Elizabeth if
the demand appears. We are anxious
to extend the services of this institu-
ton throughout Central New jersey
The courses will begin on October 3,
They consist of an elementary course
in advertising and one entitled "Prin-
ciples of Business" Another and
more advanced course, entitled "Man
agement," will be given for expert
enced persons who desire to learn
about the training of employees per-
sonnet classification and salary seized
ules.

GATHERING OF GRAND ARMY
From the Pittsburg Press.)

IT IOin lHt L llIoDuIS L 1881
The Grand Army of the Republic
held its natioal encampment last week
in Indianapolis. Later, in October, the
United Confederate Veterans gather
at Chattanooga. 1t is tragic that
these possibly will be the last reunions
of the Boys in Blue and the Boys in
Gray. Old age is sounding taps for
both organizations. The average age
of the soldiers of the northern army
during the Cival War was twenty
three. In the South it was lower.
Fifty-six years have passed since Lee
surrendered at A~ppomattoX. So the
age of the survivors of this epochal
struggle must now be not less than
eighty years.
The G.. A. r. was organized in 1866,
with the same vigor and enthusiasm
that have marked the inception of the
American Legion. In 1880 it reached
its peak membership of 4O9,489. In
1917 only 135,931 members remained
alive. Now they have dwindled to a
total of less than $4,000. The Boys in
Blue are passing at so rapid a pace
that nine wears hence the last n may
be gone. That will be the end Of a
great fighting machine which in its
four years of active service had
2.778,000 enlistments and ~re-enlist-
ments.
The United Confederate Veterans
have dwindied to a membership of
5,00Q-alI that IS left Of the Confed-
crate Army Of 100000.

1873 Lawyers In Congress

A vocational analysis of Congress
shows that the path to membership
in the chief legislative branch of the
country leads through the intricate
maze of the law and the courts. OF
the 531 members Of the Senate and
House Of Representatives, 333, OF
nearly so per cent, are lawyers. Run
ming as a modest second are editors,
with a membership of 81.
The following lines of business have
at least one representative at the
Capitol: Iron moulding, wholesaler,
glass blowing, clipping bureau, lum-
Der dealer, restaurateur, oil we'll drill
Ter, merchant, chemist, dentist and
printer.
At least one member let himself be
known as a capitalist. Five are
school teachers. Eight saw fit to have
themselves classed as professional
officer seekers. twenty-five left the
pillow to represent agricultural dis
tricts. Of the remaining forty-eight
from whom replies We're not received,
the majority doubtless were men of
the law.
The complete result of the analysis
follows: Lawyers, 1888; editors, "a;
farmers, %; manufacturers, 10; real
estate-insurance, 10; bankers, II; pro-
fessional office holders, 8; doctors, 8;
teachers, 7; mining engineers, 5; con
tractors, 3; chemists, 3; public utilities

Market Report

Abundant moisture, with favor
able temperature conditions, gave
impetus to the growth OF all yegeta-
ton in southern Idaho Unsettled
weather, with almost daily rains,
prevailed during most Of the week
over southern Idaho The rainfall
was oopious in amount in all chat
region, and in some localities it WAS
unusually heavy for the season. Pas
ture and range grasses grew luxu-
.fiantly. Alfalfa made rapid prof.
ress. and tanners are looking to the
first cutting soon Wheat both
winter and spring, did well. Early
winter wheat is heading in some OF
the northern counties. Sugar bee
are coming along in fine shape in all
directions. In fact, all crops re-
sponded to the exceptionally favor
able conditions that prevailed.
In the south portion Of the state
most farm work was brought to e
standatill by the frequent rains, but
formers are not FESTIVE under the
delay, as all ssasonable farm work
ls we'll ia hand, except spraying for
The codling moth, which is possibly
bit bebind on account Of wind and

A Rare Bargain Sale

II is suggested that the govern
mant soon may hold bargain
sale" of obsolete naval vessels, which
have outlived their period OF use
fitness and are ready for the junk
pile. There are twenty-one battle
ships and as many destroyers now
carried nthe second line list,
and most OF these vessels as well as
some others, soon viii have TO be
scrapped, as they are not adapted for
further service,
This should furnish pretty good
argument for the advocates OF an
international agreement to state &
so-called naval holiday, by limiting
the construction Of new warships u
actual and obvious necessity. The
ships now ready to be scrapped cost
many millions of dollars, yet are
worth little after a few brief years
of service. The same thing, OF
course, will be true of the new ships
now building, or planned or course,
the government must have a we'll
balanced navy, and large enough to
provide safety for the nation, but it
is foolish and waste to put more
money IN such investments than ac-
tually is necessary. Economy and
retrenchment is the new rule, and
there is splendid opportunity to
apply this rule to naval construc-
ton. Northwestern
