ASSERTS BEST CORN HAS NOW BEENPRODOCED P. J. Lux, Shelby County, World’s Champion, Tells Why. B The world’s best ear of corn has been produced, in the opinion of Peter J. Lux, Shelby County, the present and three-time International Corn King. “We will never‘have corn quite as good as in the past,” Lux told farmers here recently, “because diseases, such as the corn borer are creeping into the fields, and also because the soil now lacks some of the elements that formerly developed and matured the ears.” Advice on Seed Lu? explained that it takes more than a year to produce a prize winning ear of corn. “For the best results seed corn must be carefully selected from ripe ears on green stalks of healthy corn,” he said. “In picking seed, farmers have for been selected ripe ears from ripe stalks. This is wrong. In one case where corn from dry stalks and from green stalks was planted On the same kind of soil apd under the same conditions 30 per cent of the crop from the dry stalks was found to be diseased while only one-half of one per cent of the crop from the green stalks was damaged.” Opposes Intensive Care Intensive cultivation is not good for the’ corn crop, Lux said. It harms the root system so that the corn will not go down for moisture and thereby will not secure the elements necessary to produce a .good ear. Too much cultivation is worse than none. "The corn borer is a real menace,” Lux declared, “if the farmers ever cooperate in anything, it will .he

Vice President Cnarles G. Dawes (left), with his ever-present underslung briar, and the former Governor of Illinois, Frank O. Lowden, are known as they attended the Northwestern-lowa at Evanston, 111., together. Both are presidential possibilities, having a strong western farm following.

when that pest arrives in the corn belt.” He was of the opinion that the best way to fight the borer is to raise smaller and faster growing corn as is now being done in Ohio. NUDE MALE CHORUS IS REJECTED BY PARIS Public Won’t Stand for Novelty in Futurist Ballet. PARIS, Nov. 25.—The French stage has voted thumbs down on nude male choruses, because the

public doesn’t like them, and they cost too much anyway. Jean Borlan, a Swedish exponent of the futurist ballet, who has appeared in the United States, con-, ceived the idea of reviving jaded Paris by staging, under the full glare x>t a battery of floodlights, a ballet qf naked men. The opening night at the Theater des Champs Elysees was not the knockout expected. The audience, expecting novelty from a futurut ballet, took offense at the sight of nude males, and the curtain came down before the orchestra leader could wave his baton ten times.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

AD&PAID WEST GGASTDIVIDEND Business Increased After Program Started. By Timet Special SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.—Yes, it paid to advertise. Five years ago Northern and Central California woke up to the mournful fact that Los Angeles, spending $600,000 a year for boosting, was doing the north to a brown turn. “Californians, Inc., was organized and $500,000 a year raised to advertise the section north of the Tehachipi in what has turned out to* be the biggest adventure in community advertising in history. Last year they reached 7,000,000 families through 55,000,000 ads. Taking stock at the end of the five-year period, the super-boosters find that the money was bread upon the waters. In the five years Just closing San Francisco bank clearings increased 29 per cent over the 1918-1922 period; building permits increased 122 per cent; customs collections advanced 93 per cent; electric consumers (new) increased 42 per cent; real estate sales, 106 per cent; telephone connections increased 106 per cent, and water consumers, 128 per cent. “The rate of population increase for Central and Northern California has more than doubled,” said B. M. Rastall, manager of “Californians, Inc.” “The rate of increase for San Francisco and its metropolitan area has trebled.” Listening in with his fingers on a special set he made# for himself, a Rochester, N. Y., man can distinguish the various instruments in an orchestra, although he has not been able to speak or hear since he was 6 years old.
