Many fields Of corn through the
north edge Of the corn belt, show a
poor standduc to poor seed planted
last spring. Others are late and. up
less favored by unusual weather, will
be caught by frost. Fields planted
with good. acclaimed home grown
seed are in many cases almost safe
right now (Scptember 2Oth). The
difference is in the seed.
One day spent now saving good
seed for next year, may save weeks
of work -cultivating a poor stand or
gathering soft corn next year. Now
is the time to prevent loss and dis
appointment next year.
On the whole, the past season has
not been good for corn, 50 that extra
precautions are necessary. The corn
in Illinois and Iowa is late and is
being delayed still more by wet
weather.
Any corn that is ha -dcntcd now,
will make good seed il properly dried
out. Seed corn that is thoroughly
dried soon after gathering is not
easily damaged by dry cold during
the winter. But if not completely
dried before cold weather. the ger
mination may be entirely killed. or
weakened until it is practically
! worthless.
In central and northern North na-
kota. it is desirable to have special
room for seed corn, in which some
hea. may be used during the early
fall to dry the corn. Farther south
this is not necessary. Last year at
Larimorc. North Dakota, we saved
several hundred bushels Of seed that
| showed satisfactory termination
and produced good crop. This corn
was all put on wire racks, and some
heat kept in the seed corn room
This seed showed over IS per cent
moisture when gathered, and could
not have been saved in any other
way. 1t paid US to do it. for VIC had
| good seed and sold all VIC could
| spare at $500 per bushcl.
! Dry the Seed Corn Quickly
We gather the most mature ears
and put them on drying racks in the

''YAKALOs" 4 NEW MEAT FINER GRAINED BEEF;
 GROSS BUFFALO, YAK
ALASKA YAK AND CARIBOU, BY ALL REASONING, SHOULD
 PRODUCE TENDER STEAK

WAINWRIGHT, Alta, Aug. IT (P)- The new breed of live stock called "Yakalos' is being developed in the national park at Wainwright by cros- sing buffalos with yaks.
 "Yakalos" combine the meat produc- ing qualities of the yak with the forag- ing characteristics of the buffalo, said G. B. Rothwell, director of the animal husbandry division of the de- partment of agriculture. The new an- finals breed true to type, he said, and have proved more adaptable than "cattalo," evolved several years ago by crossing buffalo with domestic cat tle Cattalos are sterile.
 The meat of Yakalos is described as almost identical with beef, aside from being finer grained. The animals are hardy, can forage for themselves, are capable of wintering in the open, and are resistant to many of the common diseases of domestic cattle.

before him only such matters as
may be pending or transmitted to
him by telegraph.
White House officials can see no
way in which the executive de-
partment of the government could
have jurisdiction over the Demp-
sey-Tunney heavyweight bout to be
held in the sesquicentennial stad-
-ium at Philadelphia next Thursday
night. Several churches ard re-
ligious organizations have requested
Mr.. Coolidge to have the federal
government intervene to prevent
the battle.
It is the understanding here that
the stadium is not on the exposi-
ton grounds, where the federal
appropriation for the celebration
has been expended, but rather
within the domain of the city of
Philadelphia. The protests have
been referred to Secretaries KEEL

supervision over the governments
