I SELECT THE SEED jj FOR FUTURE CROP ??? 1 . Preparing Now for Good Crop of Corn in thp Year 1917 AUTUMN IS TIME TO PREPARE FOR SEED ( Good Plans Stated for Sleecting Best Seed For Corn Planting. Autumn is the time to prepare for ji nrofitable corn cron the following season. At corn-ripening time drop all other business and select an abundance of seed corn. The process Is too important to be conducted incidentally while husking. When select ing seed corn give the procoss your entire attention. Get the very best that is to be had and preserve it well, and your increased yields will return you more profit than any other work you can do on your farm. In 13 years' investigations conducted upon Scioto River bottom soil near Piketon, Ohio, with Wood burn White Dent, U. S. Selection 77, the yield was raised from an average of 03 bushels of dry shelled corn from 1901 to 1907 to an average of 7f> bushels from 1907 to 19i3. The princinal infliiPliro nrnHiw>ir?tr ir?_ -I - I' - V...W crease in yield was the selection and the care of seed corn. The only proper way to select seed corn is from the stalks standing where they grew, as soon as ripe and before the first hard freeze. As soon as the crop ripens go through the field with seed-packing bags and^ husk the ears from the stalks that have produced the most corn without having any special advantages such as space, moisture, or fertility. Avoid the large ears on stalks standing singly with an unusual amount of space around them. Preference should be given the plants that have produced the most heavily in competition with a full stand of less pro ductive plants. In all localities the inherent tendency of the plant to . produce heavily of sound, dry, shelled corn is of most importance. Late maturing plants with ears which are heavy because of an excessive amount of sap should be ignored. Sappiness greatly increases the weight and is likely to destroy the quality. Tn the Central and Southerr. .States, all other things being equal, short, thick stalks are preferable. Short stalks are not so easily blown down and permit thicker plant ing. Thick stalks are not so easily j broken down, and in general are more productive than slender ones. The tendency for corn to produce suckers is hereditary. Other things being equal, seed should be taken from stalks that have no suckers. The same day seed corn is gathered the husked ears should be put in a dry place where there is free circulation of air and placed in such a manner that the ears do not touch each other. This is the only safe procedure. Good seed is repeatedly ruined because it is thought to be already dry enough when gathered and that the precaution mentioned above is unnecessary. Many farmers believe that their autumns are So dry that such care is superfluous. Seed com in every locality gathered at ripening time will be benefited by drying as suggested. If left in the husk* long after ripening it may sprout or mildew during warm, wet feather or become infested with weevils. The vitality of seed is often, reduced by leaving it In a sack or in a pile for even a day after gathering. During warm weather, with 1 some moisture in t.hn nnhe ~ vvwo ??I n I rvci " nels, the ears heat or mildew in a remarkably short time. The best ' possible treatment immediately after gathering is to string the ears. Ordinarily the best place to hang 1 strings of ears is in an open shed or 1 loft. Wire racks are more convenient and in the end cheaper, than binder \ t* Surh racks may be made from electrically welded lawn fencing. The cutting of the fencing into { seed-corn racks is done without any waste. Only during unusually damp weath ^ er at seed-gathering time will fire be ( necessary. If heat is employed ifi a poorly ventilated room it will do the seed ears more injury than good. If1] used, the fire should be slow, long continued, and situated below the seed ears, with good ventilation' above them. After hanging in the shevl or lying an the racks for two months the seed ears should be as dry as a bone and contain less than 10 per cent of moisture. They can remain where j .hey dreid or be stored in nuuse-, j proof barrels, boxes, or crates during j winter, but in either case they n:uA not be exposed to a damp atmcs- j pi ere, for they will absorb moisture j ami be injured. Some farmers place j the thoroughly dried seed ears in the center of a wheat bin and fill the bin with loose, dry wheat. in localities where weevils and grain moths injure stored grain, the thoroughly dry seed ears should be stored in very tight mouse-proof receptacles with 1 pound of moth balls or naphthalene inclosed for each bushel of corn. This quantity tightly inclosed with the corn will prevent damage from these insects and will not injure the seed. If at any time signs of weevils or grain moths show on the corn, it should be inclosed with carbon bisulphid in practically air-tight rooms, bins, boxes, or barrels for 48 hours. The bisulphid should be placed in shallow dishes or pans on top of the seed. One half pint is sufficient for a box or barrel holding 10 bushels or less. One pound is sufficient for room or bin 10 feet each way. After fumigation the ears must be thoroughly aired, taking care that no fire is present when the fumigating box opened. o NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the decree! and judgment of the court made by his Honor S.

New York, October 18.?Eight hundred former U. S. Boy Scouts liv- i ing on the west side of this city have formed an organization called the junior Marine Scouts, for training in i the duties of U. S. Marines. The organization is in no way affiliated with the U S. Boy Scouts, and plans arc under way to make the body national in scope and character. The Junior Marine Scouts have taken up as their special plea to others that the training they will receive on land and sea is of greater benefit than either land or seu training taken separately. It's a two-in,one service?both naval and military ?they argue, and they look to see the idea spread over the entire country. Mr. I. W. Irving, 146 West lOotb Street, New York, is at the head of the new organization, and several prominent citizens have interested themselves in the movement. o NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the decree and judgment of the court made by his Honor Mendel L.

There is no w ml corresponding to our term 'God/ a being to be reverenced and loved." Among the Congo tribes fetishism takes the place of religion. A fetish is not an idol, nor the smybol of a god. It is something?and it may be almost anything?which is supposed to be the abode of some unknown power which can help or harm its owner. Some fetishes are used in sickness, and many are worn on the person to protect the wearer from all sorts of ill fortuno and danger; there are also fetish trees and rocks. More or less connected with fetishism are many cruel rites and practices. When the witch doctor come to heal the sick, he often inflicts th most excruciating tortures; and whe? a chief dies, his slaves and wiv^? ;?r liable to be killed in his honor.
