Mis theory i<s for the the farmer before pleating hie seed cora to give it a thorough teet !n the house under favorable conditions, and then do his sorting before going Into the fields aad planting the same. He cautioned the farmers in the planting to be sure that the seed woe being eguafly distributed, te thie fact alone wm essential when it came to raising good corn. The climate and land in this section of the state, he said, was favorably adapted to raising corn and that the farmer should take as much Interest in producing a good crop of com as he would in raising his stock for market purposes. The main fear lure in raising cora, he eaid, was the selection of the seed, and to bring the best results he Instructed the farmers to go into the fields after the cora w*s mature and at some time before she general husking begins, and go through the beet portions of their field and select good looking, wellmetered bars that are held in position og clean, thrifty looking stalks that should stand up well, have a good: leaf deveiopmeut and are of medium j •Im. The ears selected should also' bo strong and symmetrically develop-; ed, with straight rows of even sized,well dented kernels. The seed earsshould always be a little rougher than the average of the crop, otherwise the variety will become smoother each year and the kernels shallower. The dent should run squarely across the kernel and there should be no sharp - or pointed margins. A well selected) bushel of seed corn may easily be I worth IN.OO more in its producing; powers than a bushels selected from-, the crib in the spring. After select-' log the seed com it should be put in | a dry place where each ear will be ecbjected to a constant circulation of pare air and should be protected throughout the winter from all sud4B* or eairemo chan—c of temperostr*. or humidity.

Four ere tn fee ' league—the Re•wrvee oaf Grays of Indianapolis, the Tert Way so Abamroeks and Andcr«ha Two more elties will bo taken Into the orgeulsetton. The circuit wil] be completed and a schedule adopted at a meetisg to be held in two weeks. The msiegers of the <*aiee will use homo players altogether. A handsome silver cup will" be play el for. From the official records it is shown that 8,0D0,000 people attended games in the major leagues alone last year. Add the minor league attendance to tbi* and It would probably include the entire population of the United States. When these figures are seriously considered the popularity of base ball as a national pastime can be the more readily realised. Nothing like it has ever been recorded in the world, the Olympian games in ancient Greece not being excepted. Joe Campbell, who played ball with the Portland bunch much of last season, will probably be with the Dunkirk independent team this year. As a result of an enthusiastic meeting of the base ball lovers of Klwood a committee was appointed, eonsiatiug at Kit Careen, P. B. Bradj l«y and Wn. Humphries, to consult j rv—rdlag the establishment of an ■emaeeweat park on the line of the j troetiou company, either east or west ;of the elty. The committee will be : able to show the company that lead- , ing citizens of Elwood will subscribe stock to support a good base ball roam ons to have games throughout the season.
