Success or Failure of
Bees Depends on Queen

The life of the hive and its years
Of success or failure depend on the
queen bee, and in view of this fact 1t
is important that all colonies be AK
amined every eight days until at least
the middle Of July to see that each is
headed by good laying queen. A
few weeks after colonies are brought
out Of winter quarters an occasional
queen will fail to expand the nest brood
in a satisfactory maner. She may
develop into drone layer or she may
not lay evenly ia all the cells, result
ing in patchy brood area or she may
lay several eggs in a single cell. All
such poor queens should be replaced
as soon as possible and regular inspec-
ton every eight days will reveal the
true condition of each colony.

Mass Selection
Best Seed Corn
Comparison of Methods
Made by Experts at
Illinois Station.

An ordinary variety of corn can be
kept on high yielding basis just as
effectively by simple mass selection
of seed, in which seed ears are picked
from the standing stalk in the field, as
1t can by the more expensive and more
complicated method required in pedi-
gree ear-row breeding, according to
the results of a ten-year comparison
made between these two methods by
plant breeders at the experiment sta
ton of the college of agriculture, Uni
versity of Illinois. Results of the COM
parison, which was made by L. H.
Smith and Arthur NJ. Brunson, are
given in a bulletin which the station
has issued.
Develop Nonpedigree Strain.
A nonpedigree strain of corn de-
veloped by careful mass selection
yielded 71.3 bushels an acre as five
year average, while high yield strain
developed by means of ear-row breed
ing made an average yield of 727
bushels an acre. For the sake of COM
parison, the investigators used the ex-
pertinent station strain of Reds yell
low Dent. a representative standard,
high yielding variety, in the test and
1t made an average yield Of 65.8 BUSH
els an acre less than the high-yield
strain.
In the ear-row method, kernels from
individual ears are planted in sepa-
rate rows. The best ears from these
rows are then selected for the ear
row plot Of the following year and the
remaining ears are used for field plant
ings.
Method Not Favored.
"This method cannot be recommend
ed as means Of increasing the yield
Of a well-adapted variety of corn"
Doctor Smith said. "Fhe practical rec
concentration to the corn grower who
wishes to keep the yield of his crop
on high plane or possibly increase 1t
Is to use mass selection as the most
effective simple method of selecting
corn for yield"
Although the experiment station
many years ago was successful in al
tering in striking way various spe-
cial characters of corn, such as protein
and oil content and habits Of growth
by means Of ear-row breeding, corn
growers met with little success in try
ing to use the method to build up
high yielding strains. They failed,
however, to provide careful checks
which would prove or disprove the
merits of the method as yield i'm
proven and consequently the expert
ment station undertook the comparison
between mass selection and the ear
row plan.

FARM EAC.TSIe'

The poor laying hens mott early.
The unframed heifer wins few
prizes.
Pure breds must be registered to
show at the leading fairs.
1t usually takes about a hundred
eggs to pay for hens keep for a
year.
The apple maggot fly can be killed
by thoroughly spraying with arsenate
Of lead. Consult your spray program.
When it is practical, waste material
can be blown on top of the silo so
that there is practically no loss of
good feed from spoilage at this place.
The dairy COW herds will show their
appreciation by increased cream
checks to owners who do a good job
of putting up alfalfa hay for next win
ter's feed.
A poor stand Of alfalfa Is often
we'll utilized by disking the bare spots,
seeding them with suitable forage like
rape, oats or sudan grass, and pastur-
ing the whole crop to its full ca
pacity.
If sodium chlorate or calcium chlor-
ate have any place in the control of
quack grass, it Is in just such places
as fence lines, says Andrew Boss, vice.
director of the Minnesota Agricultural
Experiment station.
Alfalfa may be badly injured by
pasturing very early in the spring. 1t
is invariably injured seriously by pas
turing too late in the fall. 1t should
be allowed to make growth of six
to eight inches in the fall for Drotec-
ton against winterkilling.

Best General Purpose
VARIETY of Sow Beans

The Dunfield variety of soy beans
leads all others as the best general
purpose variety for central Indiana,
according to a number Of yearly COM
parsons made by Purdue university
experiment station. The Dunfield has
averaged 26.6 bushels Of beans and
Abs pounds of hay over four-year
period. It's nearest competitor for
first place is the Illlni variety, devel-
oped by the Illinois experiment sta
ton, which averaged 25.6 bushels OF
beans and 4,192 pounds Of hay. Other
varieties which are good but yield
somewhat less than these two are the
Manchu, A. X. and Midwest.

Excellent Companion
Crop of All LegumeS

Fall rye makes very excellent COM
panion crop for any of the legumes
where n new stand is to be estab-
lished. Sow the alfalfa seed broad
cast as soon as the land is dry enough
to get on without injury to the rye
crop. After sowing the alfalfa seed
harrow with light smoothing harrow
at least once in order to cover the
seed. The harrow will not in any way
injure the rye and it may somewhat
improve the moisture conditions and
kill some of the young weeds should
any be starting.

Seats for Theater Guild offerings
on Saturday night, which were

HONORS

Compared to five years ago sal
aries are down for the stars Of
the motion picture industry. They
are still high enough to cause
worry when the income tax blanks
are figured out but they do not
approach the fat figures Of 1925.
In the New Movie Magazine
current quotations are set down
as follows: Buddy Rogers salary
is $1,000 week; Nancy Carroll Is
getting $1,000; Gary Cooper.
$500; Richard Arlen, $1,000:
George Bancroft, $4,500; Ruth

Richard Dix, $4,000; Norma
Ehearer, $4,000; Ramon Novarro,
$1,000: Ronald Colman, $4,000;
Edmond Lowe, $4,000.
Some of the younger stars are
getting more money today than
before the installation Of sound.
Joan Crawford has jumped from
$500 to $2,500 in three years:
Conrad Nagel from $4,000 to 3d.
500; Alice White from $500 to

Greta Garbo's salary is more

In the conflicting swirl of gasoline claims, it
is sometimes difficult to know which brand
is "better."
But Washington motorists have shown a
sure.6re instinct for superior quality. In
four years they have lifted ESQ from
scratch to the leadership of the whole field.
Arecent, impartial, traffic check proved that
today more Washington motorists use ESQ
than any brand of gasoline or motor fuel
sold at any Price in the District of Columbia.
To the man who has not yet tried ESQ, the
Giant Power Fuel, we offer these facts:
ESQ is more powerful than any gasoline.
Its base stock is the best straight gasoline that
the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey can
manufacture.
To that finer stock is added Ethyl huid-the
most effective anti-knock ingredient known.
Because it costs more to make, ESQ sells at
Scent premium . {. &. those who use it know it's
more than worth the difference.
We take this occasion to thank Washington
motorists for their quick response to extra
quality And we invite new thousands to
try ESQ today, at the nearest ESQ pump.

A Letter From
Judge Dancy

The following statement, setting
forth that the county protection
levee system was IN no way at fault
ia the overflow from the Rio
Grande below Brownsville, was
made by County Judge Q. c. Dancy
Tuesday:
80 far as I know or can ascer-
tain, not one Of Cameron county's
leyees has failed to hold back the
water in this flood.
More than four years ago plans
we're not only prepared. but on
May II. 1925, contract was actual
~ let for construction OF levees
below Brownsville. where the river
broke out as I understand. last
Friday. These levees were not con-
slructed for the reason that land
owners refused TO let us have rights
Y way. Thi- break below Browns
vile was In no sense whatever a
part Of the county levee system.
Sunday about dark We got per-
~ission from the land owners TO
build a levee. and Immediately or
dered the county's dragline to the
scene OF the trouble. This drag
lire had TO be moved from La Feria
and arrived last night and started
20 work this morning building new
levees where we wanted 20 build
them four years ago. The job should
be complete by $3.50 p. m. today.
There are no gates in the
Rancho Viejo or in any OF our
iloodways in Cameron county.
Saturday night without the
knowledge o consent OF the county
engineers or other authorities. for
ceS working for a big land owner
constructed a dam across said
fiCodway, which, on the demand
OF the county, was opened up on
Sunday.
The overflow below Brownsville
started before this dam was con-
structed. AS to whether the con-
struction Of this dam aggravated
he condition below Brownsville, I
10 not know.
"Of course the country between
the county levees and the river has
teer flooded, and this was to be
expected.
There has been considerable
comment on the fact that the Ar
royo and the north floodway have
heen carrying no water. Both OF
these outlets rise in Hidalgo county
ana which we have no control.
| Will say. however, in justice 10
the Hidalgo county authorities, that
so far as I know or believe, there
was no obstruction Of any of the
outlets from the river into said

the river several times bigger than
