S. Select only well-natured
ears with straight, compact rows
of grain, firmly set or cob.
6. The shanks OF each ear
should be white and reasonably
dense. Avoid discolored, open or
shreddy shanks.
z. Select ears that are free of
rotton or damaged grains, free of
weevil or other insect damage.
8. Kernels should be plump,
! well-developed and 1ustrous; germ
should be deep, creamy-white
and wax-like in texture. All of
these indicate vitality-the ability
to produce.
Winning Takes Work
Remember, if you really want
to be a winner, you must not be
too easily discouraged in your
search for ten good ear that meet
the above specifications. You
can't wait until the day of the
show or the fair starts to select
your exhibit. You can't expect to
find ten acceptable ears by shuck-
ing a bushel or two Of corn. I
have known boys to shuck Is or
more bushels before finding a
satisfactory exhibit. They were
determined to do a good job. They
knew what they were looking for
and they were willing to work to
get it.

Bond Market Quiet,
Closes About Even
With Week Earlier
By H., c. Johnson
Associoted Press Market Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The bono
market hardly had its eyes oper
today in the first Saturday trad
ing since last spring judging by
the extremely light turnover ano
small changes.
Volume added up to only S540,-
900, par value, compared with
$542, 900 on the last short session
before knocking off on Saturdays
for the summer. Price changes
for the most part were in minor
fractions. punctuated here and
there by a plus or minus mark
of a point or so. On average
rails were a bit ahead while in
dustrials and utilities held un-
changed and small declines were
posted for the low-yield and for
eign dollar bonds.
Rails were more active than
other groups and, as the averages
indicated, boasted most of the
better plus marks including one of
point for Chicago Great West
ern income 4Kas at So. IL for
Katy SIS at IS and "a for Pennsyl-
vania Railroad 414s at 8612.
A. T. g. T. Issues Higher.
Edging upward gently were
American Telephone 2a4s, 2Rs
and 33ss, Cleveland Union Ter
minal 4l2s, Missouri Pacific SIS
of 1865, Pacific Gas IS and South
ern Pacific 4l2s.
Less sure-footed and mostly in
the minus column were. among
others. Standard Oil New Jersey
22s, st. Louis-San Francisco 412s,
Pennsylvania Central Air Line
3l2s, Northern Pacific As, New
York Central refunding SIS and
Illinois Central 4a4s.
The Saturday holiday of Gov
eminent bond dealers remained
unbroken despite reopening of the
bond department of the Stock Ex-
change.
Costa Rica Is were a point
higher at 21 in an otherwise quiet
foreign dollar list.
About Unchanged in Week.
On the week, the bond market
finished just about where il
started.
The hopes of Wall Street alter
nately were raised and dashed by
reports concerning progress of
labor management negotiations
on pension and insurance benefits
for steelworkers.
Rumors of impending settle
ment, setting off light hurries of
buying and rising prices, gave way
to pessimistic reports that strike
was inevitable. producing in turn
some liquidation and lower prices.
The Associated Press averages
of railroad, industrial and utility
bonds barely f1uttered from last
weeks closing levels.
Only the index of foreign dol
lar bonds, which closed off i of a
point at 695 showed an appre-
ciable change. This was due
chiefly to a week-long price slide
by issues of countries that re-
Gently devalued their currencies.

/ Current Affairs Committee of the

Fourth Degree, Knights Of Columbus.
Speaking on the subject Com
munism," Mr.. MacCarthy warned
the group that Communism is not
a threat that will materialize but a
present danger" Pointing out that
it only took a Communist minority
to gain control of other countries.
the speaker warned that the time
for consideration of its dangers to
the national security is now, and
not 10 or IS years from now"
Asserting that smugness and COM
tplacency are allies of communism,
Mr.. MacCarthy urged his audience
on to positive action in defense Of
those constitutional guarantees
which are in danger of communism's
inroads.
As one means of action the speak
er suggested that the club women
form Current Affairs Committees
within their own groups ito alert
themselves to what is going on"
and pass what information they
have learned on to others.
