Its Geographical Position and Many Other Considerations Mark It as Most Suitable Spot for Dedl cation of Great Work. Public sentiment has decided that tho completion of the Panama Canal In 1915 shall bo celebrated with a treat International Exposition In which all tho nations of the world may participate; and the question of where this Exitosltlon Is to be held .will be settled by Congress at Its approaching session. New Orleans and San Francisco are contesting for tho honor of holding this Exposition, and both cities have guaranteed Immense sums of money as an evidence of their ability to finance so great an enterprise. An Exposition worthy of the term "World's Fair," such as New Orleans proposes to build, will bo a sreat educational movement. Its success as such, however, will depend entirely upon the percentage of our popula
tion who can secure its educational j waj.8t tho roer8 be, ld 8n

(By CHAR K- PETERSEN.) Tho testing of scod corn is very important this spring. Kot In many years has tho question so closely appealed to the farmer as It does how. Much of tho seed corn snved In tho
com belt statos for this season's planting Is showing low germination and better cultivation than over will be necessary to produce a big crop. A good soed bed is the foundation of tho crop, or rather the first stone upon tho real foundation, the seed. Presuming that the corn ground la In
proper rotation and sufllciently manured, it should be worked up as mellow as a garden bed. If stalks are on the ground they should be disked both

cities to New Orleans is 792 miles, , to San Francisco 2.407 miles. Over 75 per cent, of the people of j the United States could go to an " Exposition there at an average ex- I pense for railroad fare of S12.50. as J against an average of $37.50 to the I Pacific Coast; and for several mil- ' lions of our people, the Pullman , fare and Dining Car expenses alone, for a trip to San Francisco, would '
amount to more than all their transportation expenses for a trip to New Orleans. This Is an Important public question to be settled by Congress at tho session which convenes In December. Many of our readers will wish to visit this World's Panama Exposition, and If held In New Orleans a great many more could spare tho
time and money for tho trin

it to the field. Do not spoil a lot of ground and waste a lot of seed trying to nnd out whether your planter is reliable or not

Statue
Pennington was lying In state In his church, tho statue was unveiled at night by the donor and sculptor, Percy Fitzgerald.
Today the bronze Imago of tho worthy doctor may be soon looking down his beloved Fleot street. Thc strongly-marked features nnd burly form, from the full bottomed wig to the flruily-rlanted shoes, have been faintly suggested by Mr. Fitzgerald, with tho air of Sir. Joshua Reynolds's portrait and the bust by Nollekens. Hoswoll and Mrs. Thrale have their place In the bas-reliefs on tho pedestal. What Dr. Johnson would have said about this statue of him can be Iraag-
j Ined by any one who J seen It. As I n work of art the statue Is an atrocity; J and It seems most appropriate that It should have been unveiled nt night, j Furthermore, even the best examples j of the sculptor's art, Johnson was apt , to disparage. Tho labor consumed In j painting, he onco said, wbb not dlsj proportionate to tho result; but a fcllow might hack half a year at a block j of marble and only produco something ( that hardly resembled a man. The value of statuary, ho argued, depended solely on Its difficulty. On the other hand. It might havo ! pleased Johnson to know that poster
