Services at -..-..... church opened
as usual, 35 minutes behind sched-

There were plenty of empty pews.
Few young people remained for
the regular services after the Sun

attended.

Despite the fervid plea of the
elder and his official body the col

salary was months in arrears, etc.
Church let out so late that a
great number of people grumbled
about late dinners, etc.

upward slant of a great wave of
popular art appreciation, and that
one proof of this is the fact that the
cheapest and humblest articles can
now be purchased in graceful, pleas
ing forms.
Public interest in monuments was
demonstrated by the attendance at
the exhibition of the industry's
wares held in connection with this
convention of the Memorial Crafts
men of America. Commercial trav-
ellers and other hardened hotel
dwellers gazed with astonishment at
the graceful granite shaft erected in
the lobby of the hotel where the
convention met. While the memorial
art exposition probably did not pose
as competitor of the automobile
show, held in Chicago at the same
time, the attendance satisfied the
memorialists that the average man
is not averse to thinking about cem-
etery monuments, even when he has
no immediate need of them.

Pointers For Buyers
of Hybrid Seed Corn

Many growers have only hazy
idea of what is meant by hybrid seed
corn. To help clear away doubt. G..
II. DUNCAN, of the Illinois Agrieul-
tural Experiment Station, recently
aided farmers by explaining some of
the things buyers should look for
and others they should avoid If they
wish to get good hybrid seed corn.
"Corn growers should understand"
he said, that good hybrid seed can
not be produced by crossing two
-pollinated varieties, by detas-
selling certain rows of an adapted
variety, or by selecting seed In a
field grown from commercial hybrid
seed. And ont all hybrids are good,
not even all hybrids that involve
four inbred lines"
Certain hybrids that have given
outstanding performance over per-
iod of years in certain section Of
the State are no better In other Sec
tions than adapted open-pollinated
varieties, say agronomists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture who cooperate In this corn
work. The merit of a given hybrid
depends on it's ability to give a sat
isfactory yield of sound grain, to
stand up until harvest, and to do
these consistently year after year.
Information as to these qualities can
be established only by repeated tests
In the general area In question.
