The weather of the past week was
not favorable for farming or for
sugar making, however indications at
this writing point to some further
gathering of sap from the local camps
during the present week.
Rev. E. E. Campbell, in company
with Messrs. C. E. Ellithorp, George
Wiley and Charles Wiley, motored to
Oakland on Monday of last week on
a business mission.
George Bietzell recently made a
business trip to Grantsville.
Paul Davis, of Tissue, Pa, was a
visitor of the C. E. Ellithorp family in
this village last Saturday.
Mrs. Oscar Brenneman is reported
as being i'll at this writing.
DR.. N. R. Davis, of Grantsville,
made professional visit to this sec
ton last week.
Spring began last Monday and as
fate would have it Madam Stork visit
ed two homes in this village on that
day, and now Clark Brenneman and
Joel Brenneman are trying to out
smile each other because of the fact
that she left son for each. Neither
$one seems to care whether their hens
keep on laying or anything else just
NOW.
County Commissioner Harvey Gort-
ner, OF Grantsville. was a business
caller in this village last week.

Reedbirds, or BobOlinks, n
Longer Permitted To Be
Killed

By an order Of the Secretary Of
Agriculture it is no longer permitted
to kill reedbirds, or ricebirds, known
in the North as bobolinks. In 1919,
owing to the serious depredations of
bobolinks on the rice crops Of North
Carlina, South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, permission was granted by
the Secretary, under authority OF the
migratory bird treaty act, administer
ed by the Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture to kill these birds in Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, the District of Columbia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida for the protec-
ton of rice growers. This permission
is now revoked.
Under the new order, a person or
members of his immediate family or
bona-fde employees, owning or leasing
lands in North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia or Florida on which
rice is being grown, may shoot bobo-
links, or ricebirds, only when autho-
rized by a special permit issued by
the Secretary of Agriculture and
countersigned by the chief official in
charge of the enforcement of the fish
and game laws of the State in which
the permit is effective, and only dur
ing the period from August 16 to
November Is, inclusive, on rice fields
where such birds are seriously injur-
ing the crops. The birds so killed
may be consumed as food, but may
not be sold.

Prove Purebred Cows Are Best
Producers.

Purebred cows stand out as the best
producers of milk and butterfat and
cow testing associations have produced
the evidence to prove it, say dairy
specialists at the University of
Maryland.
The evidence has come to light as
a result of tabulation of 4S,O97 tests
made in COW testing associations in
all parts of the United States by the
Bureau of Dairy Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The results showed an average pro-
duction of 1867 pounds Of milk and
296 pounds of butterfat for the pure
bred cows whose records were exam
ined. The grades fell below this fig
ure with an average production of
$500 pounds of milk and 281 pounds
of butterfat. Last in the list were
the scrubs with an average yield of
6,217 pounds of milk and Psi pounds
of butterfat.
There are now approximately $780,
600 cows in COW testing associations
in the United States, it is reported.
In 1925 the average production per
cow in the United States was esti-
mated at about $500 pounds of milk
while COW testing association cows
were able to show an average of
1922 pounds.
On this basis, the 100000 cows in
cow testing associations in 1926 pro-
duced as much milk as 100000 aver
age cows and returned as much in
come over cost Of feed as 626,00e
cows of the average type, it is said. Z

Selection of Seed Corn.

The difference between a good
stand of corn and poor one, between
vigorous seedlings and weak ones, and
between high corn yields and low ones
is often a matter of few hours time
spent in selecting and testing the
seed, says F. w. Oldenburg, specia-
list in agronomy for the University
of Maryland Extension Service.
Careful selection Of seed corn is
always advisable even when it is foil
owed by actual termination test, says
by an actual termination test" says
Mr.. Oldenburg. with little exper-
fence farmer can soon acquire the
ability to select seed corn quickly and
accurately. First of all, choose the
well-formed, medium sized ears, typi-
cal of the variety to be grown. The
ears should be relatively heavy. with
bright, well formed grains, and free
from external signs of disease. Dis
card light, chaffy ears with starchy
grains and rotted, shredded or dis
colored shank attachments.
"The cob should be examined. 1t
should be bright and free from dis
colorations caused by moulds and
root rot organisms. The cob of a
healthy ear is white inside. The
grains should be fairly large, free
from moulds and checks, we'll matured
with plump tips and having good
depth and medium indentation. The
backs should be glossy, free from soft
starch and blisters and the germs
should be plump and creamy white.
"The grains should be shelled by
hand from the butts and tips of the
selected ears and discarded. Or
better still, the butts and tips of the
ear may be cut off with a sharp corn
knife so that the internal condition
of the cob can be observed. A half
dozen kernels should next be removed
from various parts of the ear and ex-
| amined by cutting across the germ.
Discard ears with dead germs. Like
wise reject ears with mouldy kernels
or cobs, shrunken, blistered or
checked kernels, dull, soft, starchy
kernels, those with rotted or shred
ded shank attachments, those with
cobs badly discolored internally and
those seriously injured by mice.
"From each ear finally selected in
this manner, select two grainss and
test the entire lot for termination.
If ninety-five per cent or more of the
grains produce vigorous sprouts, the
seed should be safe for planting. If
the termination test, however, shows
less than 80 per cent of vigorous
sprouts, a regular termination test
should be made of each ear, and all
ears discarded that do not show per-
feet termination"

A Vest Pocket Essay on Dancing

Dancing amt what she used to be.
Time was when it was considered one
of the most graceful of the arts and
INDUCED in by both young and old
alike. As it is now, however, anyone
past the first blush of youth who at
tempts to essay the dances of the day
is likely to wind up by breaking leg
or being prematurely carried off by a
heart attack. The terpsichorean ef-
forts of the present period seem to
lie about midway between a wrestling
match and Hopi Indian perform
ance. The Charleston calls for
more supple frame than the contor-
zionist ever hoped to acquire. The
Fox Trot has been speeded up to a
full gallop. Anyone not possessing
the wind" of a marathon runner
had better elect to remain a wall
flower. The jazzphoney orchestra
sounds like the inside of boiler fac
tory working full time, while a floor
full of dancers takes on all the as
poets of a stampede. Only the waltz
remains to cheer the hearts and tickle
the toes of the old timers. 1t is played
so seldom, however, that grand
fathers creeping paralysis claims
him between halves. Vaudeville ac-
tors ought to be numerous. Anyone
who can negotiate the Black Bottom
deserves a place in the theatrical sun
if not in the side show of the circus.
Even the names have degenerated. If
the "Fox Trot," why not the "Weasel
Walk" the "Canine Canter," or the
Gopher Gallop"?
The piggy Wiggle" is another
name which might be used to advan-
tage for a dance, although not as
many piggies are waltzing up to the
trough in these parts as formerly,
due to certain disastrous circumstan-
ces last fall. Due to the carelessness
of a good many people interested in
said piggies, hog cholera carried a
great many off to the happy roofing
grounds. The Department of Agri-
culture has issued warning that the
disease is likely to be widespread
again this year. The Maryland Plan
for cholera control is simple and in
expensive. To follow its precepts, the
swine owner has only to guard
against feeding any product that
might contain bones, rinds, or scraps
of pork; to use care in the purchase
of new hogs; to keep hogs confined
so they cannot mingle with other
swine; and to bury the carcasses of
animals that die on the place. Those
who have followed the plan in their
farming operations have found that
it pays. 1t insures protection with
a minimum of expense. Really,
would there be any wrong in, or could
any harm come from following these
simple rules?

The two runs scored off Schupp

error by McMenemy also figured in
one of the Indian runs.

game at short for the home

HAD BET ON GAME

lN those days Nick Altrock was
firmly convinced that beer
taken in proper quantities
was fine tonic for pitcher. Be-
ing German, Nick favored large por-
tons served in stems.
The night before the first game,
Nick spent five or six hours testing
the various brews in a Chicago cafe
Late in the evening, or perhaps 1t
was early in the morning, when he
tired of hearing some Cub sup
porters shout the praises of that
team, Altrock wagered 500 against
5000 that the White SoX would win
the first game.
Altrock thought he could heat any
team when right. When he knew it
was his turn to pitch. he always
bet on himself. When the morning
of the first game dawned, he learned
that he had wagered 500 on the
outcome and to his great dismay
he felt he would not be the selec-
ton of Manager Fielder Jones.
About an hour before game time,
noticing Manager Jones seemed to
be in a highly nervous condition,
Altrock asked the reason. 1t seems
Jones didn't want to waste his ace,
Ed Walsh against Mordecai Brown,
then the star of the Cubs.
