SOMETHING ABOUT TABLE CORN

Table corn is in season, and this
is the one time in the year when II
is worth while to discuss corn, and
the various kinds of corn.
A great deal has been said in the
past ten years about table corn fol
this part of the world, and many
different kinds have been recon.
mended by dealers and by the people
who raise and use it.
We have found that different fam
lilies, who have tried half a dozen
different kinds of corn, will each
recommend the kind they have used
and honestly believe it is the best.
AS a matter of fact, one kind or none
of them may be fit to bother with,
when compared with some really de-
licious kind.
There is another strange angle to
the discussion of table corn here,
and that is that the poorest kind Of
seed corn may be put up in packages
and labeled with fancy name, and
be sold on the name alone land pro-
duce something fit only for stock,
and the name of the best table corn
on earth may be printed on the label
of hog corn, and the people who
raise it and who know good corn

from poor, may be disgusted with
the kind they have had recon-
mended so highly.
About ten or twelve years ago this
paper began recommending the
Golden Bantam sweet corn for table
use, and thru all the years we have
never found anything else to equal
it. About the year 1920 we urged a
local seed dealer to stock the genuine
Golden Bantam and thus add great
wealth to this county. He did so,
and established relations with firm
at Caldwell that raised the seed in
our own Idaho, and he was glad to
get Idaho seed. People all over the
county bought it and raised from it,
everything from sweet corn to hog
corn, all out of the same shipment,
according to the dealers statements
when investigation was made to see
what was the matter.
Reputable seed houses and nurs-
cries have sold seed corn known as
the Country Gentleman, Excelsior,
Aristocrat, Golden Balsom and what
not, to people who have spent the
season raising 1t and had nothing
but hog corn. Then tendency is for
them to conclude that corn is not so
very good anyway, and they become
Indifferent about raising it at all

The trouble is they get the wrong
kind.
Table corn should be sweet; il
should be tender for a long period
on short stalk and it should grow
ears quickly after the stalk gets up
three or four feet high. Our short
season makes it highly necessary
that we should plant kind of corn
that produces ears quickly, and the
true Golden Bantam has been de-
veloped in that way. 1t has a small
cob and deep grains that remain in
the milk longer than some other
varieties that also grow ears quickly.
Squaw corn, for instance, grows ears
| quickly and then begins to harden
quickly.
There are varieties of table corn
that grow quickly, but have tough
skin enclosing the kersels, and that
is a serious objection. There are
varieties of corn that grow large
cob, and that is an objection for
table corn. Anyone who has enjoyed
the kind with the small cob, and
compared it with the ears having the
big cob, will no longer hesitate in
selection. There are types of sweet
corn selling among the seed houses,
with big sobby cob that has very
disagreeable odory when heated up
enough to cook the corn, and if it is
cooked long enough to change the
odor of the cob, then the corn is
boiled tough.
Many housekeepers boil their corn
too long. Green corn is mostly
starch, and starch cooks almost as
soon as it begins to boil. When green
corn is placed in hot water, the cool
cob absorbs the heat for a few minu-
ties after the heat strikes thru the
kernels, but as soon as the heat
penetrates to the center of the cob,
and the heat is the same clear thru,
the corn is cooked and ready to eat.
Ten, eleven, or twelve minutes cooks
corn at the altitude of four to five
thousand feet, unless the cobs are
large. If the ears are put into warm
water and brought to boil, about |
half of that time will cook them.
People selecting corn should go
where it is growing and select corn
with short stalks, the ears low on the
stalks, the ear long and slender with
a very small cob, less than an inch
thru at the large end, and tapering
very little, grains that are deep and
enclosed in a thin tender skin, and
with thin shucks encasing the ear.
In selecting corn, avoid the kind
that grows on tall stalks, has thick
husks, big ears that taper and have
much silks. Avoid the ears that
have rough surface and deep ruts
between the rows of grains, shallow
grains and thick shanks connecting
with the stalk. Such corn develops
late and is worth the least when
ready for use. If 1t is sent to
the bulk, the heavy weight
Tor little corn, the amount of re-
fuse left from a little food, and the
of cooking the bulky
stun, the bad odor from the big cobs,
he uneven cooking as between the
arge end of the ear and the small t
end that heats thru quickly, all these :

things rule it out where people are
good judges of corn.
Now as to quality, some corn is
sweet and delicious, and other
varieties are less sweet and even fiat.
Some of it is merely pulp and nobody
could tell by the taste whether he
was eating corn or mere pulp.
People who have grown accustomed
to the poor varieties of corn do not
know what they are missing, and
should get samples among their
neighbors, to test for quality besides
making comparisons by the score
named above.
When you find kind of corn that
is better than any of the others,
make haste to engage some seed of
that kind, and do not be planting two
different kinds of corn within few
hundred feet of each other. 1t will
mix and spoil one or both varieties
if you do.
There are a good many people who
know good apples from poor ones,
and those who are not good judges
of apples but are not familiar with
corn. They might do we'll to re-
member that the Golden Banam corn
is about as much better than most
of the other sweet cOrns, as the
Delicious apple is better than the
Ben Davis, and it costs little more
to raise the poor, coarse varieties of
corn than it does to raise the best,
because it takes little longer. The
folks who plant the Golden Bantam
can be eating corn earlier and later
than the folks who plant the other
varieties, and they have something
delicious all the time.

order to get the necessary right of
way.
The completion Of this piece of
road, Col. Taylor states, will mean a
great deal to that fine section of the
county and will reduce the cost of
operating farms quite a great deal as
it is expected that grain elevators,
beet dumps, potato cellars and coal
stations will be established which

TRIAL MARRIAGE
COMMON, SAYS
JUDGE
Lindsey Asserts Dozens OF
Such Unions Come Out
All Right.
BY FRED j. WALKER,
COsmOpoIitan News Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, April IT,
1.-THE world would be surprised to
know how many trial marriages
are going on under their noses"
This was the statement made to-
day during an interview by Judge
Ben. b. Lindsey, Of the juvenile
caurt of Denver, nationally known
for his humanitarian work in arbi-
trating juvenile and marital prob
lens, in answer to the question
do you favor trial MARRIAGE"
You know, precious we'll, am
not going to say I DO favor trial
marriages. But could tell you
of dozens of them that have come
to me in the confidence of the
private confessional that our court
has become.
And the curious thing Is, that
many of them are far more sue
cessful than many of the mar
riages that have not been preceded
by the trial"
Understand" he said, ''I am not
speaking of what I favor-quite
the contrary. / am speaking of
what is. The question that the
world must soon face is, What are
we going to do about it?' "
II will tell you one thing we
have got to do about 1t. That is,
recognize the child of the unmarried
mother as having the same rights
to come into the world as the child
of the married mother.
How are we going to do this
unless the self-respect Of the mother
is saved by compelling society to
respect her for. her motherhood.
Please understand that my tradi-
tons and background are for the
traditions OF life, and am certainly
for the decencies of life which in
clude marriage--that is-love of one
man for one woman and tbeir con.
stancy and fidelity for each other"

he has an afternoon speaking en-
gagement, as he had when inter-
viewed. He speaks with sincerity
and knowledge of his subject that

did you ever stop to consider
that most of the orphans in this
country have both parents living?"
Judge Lindsey questioned.
A father and a mother living
together in a home Is not H1ecess
sarily guarantee OF the rights OF
the children.
Many illegitimate children today
are far better off than some legiti-
mate children.
''One of the most wonderful
youths know in this world is an
illegitimate child, and 1t is living
under far finer conditions as to
both father and mother and all that
goes with it than many children
living with their own parents.
II heartily favor divorce. j doubt
very much if people in this country
realize the prevalence of separa-
tions.
There are no statistics furnished
by any government or state that
give US the truth about this impor-
tant relation Of the sexes.
do I regard the prevalence Of
divorce as an evil?
ITO be frank with you, do not
know.
Remember that for 800 years
during the middle ages there were
no divorces, and that, perhaps. was
one of the most degenerate periods
in history.
"Of course, I regret the fact that
divorce Is so general, because I am
in favor of the permanent
union between one man and one
woman as true mates bound by the
instructive, natural laws of love-"

Mary has shown recitative talent

and bring in appropriate gesticula-
tons in surprising fashion.
Mary's voice has developed.
Whenever any exercises are given
IN her classroom at school, Mary's
name is always on the program to
either recite or sing. It was in
this manner that her propensities

It was In this same manner that

Sarah Bernhardt was a twelve

school. She was advised at that
time to develop the talent which
later brought her greater fame and
higher tributes than ever were
paid to any artist of the stage.
Birthplace Disputed.
