CORN PLANT is SAFEST
GUIDE TO GOOD SEED

Farmers who fail to pick their seed
corn directly from the field are neg
lecting virtually all opportunity for
intelligent, effective section, says
DR.. F. R. INNER of the division of
agronomy and plant genetics, Uni
versity Farm, st. Pau. The two most
important considerations in selecting
seed corn are to get early maturing
ears and to get them from good, Wig
orous, healthy plants. This can be
done only by picking from the field
before frost has killed the stalks.
Make the plant the basis of selec-
ton, rather than the ear itself, ad-
vises DR.. Inner. Pick mature, dis
ease-free ears of good size that have
been borne on vigorous, upright
plants. Choose ears from hills of
three stalks and from plants that
stand up well and are free from
smut or other signs of disease. U.s.
ually it is best to avoid picking ears
from plants that have dried up early
as this is more often an indication of
disease than of early maturity.
Sound, well matured ears from green
plants are preferable.
Extremes of all sorts are to be
avoided, such as ears that grow ex-
tremely high or extremely low, those
that are very long or unusually short
or those that have extremely long
shanks. Avoid ears with broken
shanks, especially when the shanks
have a shredded appearance as this
usually indicates disease. Molds and
all other signs of disease should like
wise be Disseminated against.
Little good is accomplished by
picking ears Of show, type, DR.. I'm
mer says, but he favors getting fair
ly we'll shaped ones. The main things
to be secured through selection are
early maturity, freedom from dis
ease, and a desirable type of plant
that will not lodge readily, and these
are but little Influenced by the shape
of the ear.

School Enters Fair Exhibit Contest

AS it is now fair week and every
one is anxious to go out and have a
good time, we must not forget our
own exhibits. Some are especially
good and well worth our time to
notice. There are many History
Maps and Themes, not forgetting the
French and English themes. Nature
lovers will be interested in the Bio
logy notebooks and drawings.
The discovered talent of Arlene
Sampson in caricatures of "The Tale
of Two Cities" will also be on exhibit.
The Home Economics classes and the
Shop classes, which always have good
exhibits, are no exception this year.
Senior High Glee Clubs Interest High
A fine showing in glee club interest
has been made this year.
There are twenty-four pupils in
the Boys Glee Club. Last year there
were twelve. We think this increase
in number is. in itself an accomplish
ment. Many of the boys, able in the
vocal line, and yet afraid to voice
their abilities, are now active recruits.
Because of the great number in
the Girls Glee Club, the original
group has been divided. We now
call them Junior-Senior Girls Glee
Club, and the Sophomore Girls Glee
Club. There are twenty-seven in the
former Including the accompanist)
and twenty-three in the latter.
The Glee Clubs are under the di-
rection of Miss Helen Hoagland, VOC
al music supervisor of the Redwood
Falls schools.

Thought

What is thought? The dictionary
defines it as mental concentration on
existing ideas. This explains it
reasonably well.
The next thing to con~ider is the
use and value of thought. Problems
of every day life depend upon
thought. If we are capable of think
irg seriously and applying our
thoughts wisely, they are of great
use to US. However, not every kind of
of thought is a benefit. Foolish
thought is benefit. Foolish thoughts
on things that are not uplifting will
prove dangerous for everyone will act
upon their thoughts in some manner,
sooner or later. Thought is of great
assistance in school work. Especial
ly in mathematics do we need good
mental concentration.
Therefore, much time should be
spent in wholesome, uplifting thought
to solve the problems which each and
everyone of us will encounter along
life's highway.

The Seniors are enthusiastic about
the study of social science. 1t isn't
hard, but we are receiving a great
deal of practical knowledge. So far
we have devoted our efforts to the
study of education and the various
school systems connected with it.

w. G. u. Wins First Game
From Baylor; Pitching
Holds Up
Especial to The Herald.)

FORT WORTH, April 12.-
Breaking into the win" column by
a hard earned 3-to-2 victory over
the Baylor Bears the Texas Chris
tan university Horned Frogs ap-
pear to have shaken the jinX that
has been lowering over the team
Of the six games that the Purple
has played, almost all of them were
lost through errors and inability to
hit.
A home run barrage was neces-
sary to cop the Bear tilt, but again
the Frogs showed lack of hitting
power, %garnering only three safe
blows. Buckley'S homer in the
fourth, after Carroll had tripled for
one run, gave the Frogs the needed
margin, as Buster Walker was in
good form and held the Bears to
five scattered blows.
The Frogs have been getting
good pitching, with Cox and Walker
bearing the brunt of the work. The
Frog hurlers have been stingy with
the hits, holding Texas A. & M,
S. M. u. and Baylor effectively. 1t
has been the inability of the Frog
batters to pile up tallies that re-
suited in the loss of the first five
%conferenc games of the season.
