rions types have been employed Inf the Antarctic by other explor. BIS. The Byrd party expects to use these machines in transport ing heavy equipment in and about the base camp.
 No polar expedition can venture far afield without sledges. drawn by dogs or men. or both. and so these Antarctic adventures are taking many such vehicles for the hard journeys that await the ex- ploration parties.
 The first transportation problem to be solved> by the expedition is the movement of men, supplies and equipment to the base of the Ross Sea ice barrier. This job has beon assigned to the stoeky barque Samson, which was built for just the sort of sailing afforded by the southern ocean.
 Built for icy Seas
 Constructed in Norway in 1885 as a mother ship for whalers, the 512-ton vessel was designed to weather icy seas and has record of many years of service in the sub arctic. Her hull is slightly wedge-shaped enabling her to rise when the ice exerts it's tre- mendous pressure. Her bow is mighty ram that butts a pas sage through stubborn floes. The Samson measures 149 feet and nine inches over all, has beam of 31 feet and one. inch, and a depth of r feet and one inch. Her hull has been reenforced with stout cross timbers 34 inches thick. It is believed that no oth- CT ship has sides that thick. Her machinery has been oyerhauled and improved, and new masts have been stepped. She burns coal, but carries the full rigging of barque to increase her steam- ing speed and to use in case the coal gives out battling with tho ice.
 The expeditions airplanes, dis mantled. can ride to Antarctica on her decks. Their motors will be slowed in the hold with the vast stores of food. clothing, scientific instruments and other equipment

Sunday noon, near the Sleepy Eye
golf links on Trunk Highway No. Z,
when a Buick sedan, driven by DIR.
Benton of the Mayo clinic of Roches-
ter, crashed into Mr.. Asch's Hudson
car, resulting in quite extensive dam
age to both cars and injuries to Mr..
Asch.
Mr.. Asch, accompanied by Mr.
Loomis were leaving the golf course,
bound for Sleepy Eye and had prac-
tically reached the right side of the
road when the Benton car, coming
around the curve from Sleepy Eye
at high rate of speed veered toward
the Asch car, colliding with and strik-
ing it on the drivers side, smashing
the left front wheel, the tenders, rum
ming board and denting the body. The
Buick was also damaged to some ex-
tent, but could be driven to Sleepy
Eye, where temporary repairs were
made.
Mr.. Asch was the only occupant OF
the both cars who was injured, he
receiving a badly sprained shoulder
as result of the impact and has been
compelled to carry his left arm in q
sling since the accident. He consid-
ers himself fortunate in having es.
capped without more serious injury.

CLUB WORK PAVES WAY
FOR COLLEGE TRAINING

The All Club of the Minnesota
School of Agriculture at University
Farm has a membership of nearly
100 boys and girls. Past or present
participation in club work is the es-
sential qualification for membership.
The Gopher All Club is the name OF
a similar organization in the Mime
sofa College of Agriculture.
1t is clear that club work not only
furnishes the inspiration for going to
college but has often actually produc-
ed the means of getting there. 1t
works something like Aladdin's lamp,
says T. A. Erickson, the Minnesota
state club leader. One gets the idea,
rubs the lamp, and presto, the means
are at hand.

member, as a good example OF those

She found way to enter college by
putting on canning demonstrations
in which she had become proficient
during her seven years of canning

STUDY THE PLANT TO
GET BEST SEED EARS

Seed corn ears should be selected
from normal vigorous plants In full
stand hills when the husks are vel
low but the leaves still largely green,
says A. C. Army of the division OF
farm crops of the University of Min
nesota. This can be done usually on
a majority of the farms in this state
between September 10 and 20. In
very dry seasons it can be done con-
siderably earlier.
Mr.. Army emphasizes the advantage
of selecting the seed ears on the basis
of the appearance of the plants.
"When the ears are selected from the
husked corn, there is no way OF
knowing of plants produced them or
what the stand was in the hills" he
says. Therefore effective selection
of seed ears from husked corn is i'm
possible.
"Ears somewhat long and small in
circumference and heavy for their
size mature earlier and yield better
than short, thick ones. Ears with
IL to 16 rows of kernels are prefer
able to those having from Is to 70
rows. Large ears are not necessary
to secure good yields of corn. An
average of three 8-ounce or four g.
ounce ears to the hill checked 3 feet
6 inches will amount to rs bushels
an acre.
"Any normal ear carried at med
ium height on vigorous plant makes
good seed corn if the curing has been
done properly. The seed ears should
be we'll dried out before freezing
weather and them stored in dry
place. Where corn has reached matur-
ity and the seed supply is ample, the
! final selection should retain only the
bright looking ears heavy for their
size and free from discolorations on
the cob"
