(BY S. J. CHAIG.) CROWN POINT. Oct. 10. The Seed

Corn day set for Lako county la norel too soon, Thu freezing nights Hie upon j us and If we expect to secure Rood se:tl i that will grow another ear we must get i

busy. Let us all do our best. We may not all have corn that was frozen by the first fnseze but now is the time to get after the supply of seed for next year's crop. Considerable work along: the lines of selecting seed corn at different ripening periods has been carried out by the Indiana experiment station with the follotvlng conclusions, after seven years' work. Seed corn selected just befora denting and properly cared lor germinated 7?.7 per cent. Seed corn that was not dented and properly cared for germinated 93.3 per cent. The ripo ears selected at corn shocking tlma germinated 92. 6 per cent while those gathered at husking time germinated SS.5 per cent. The conclusions to be drawn from this data is that we should select our seed corn as soon as possible after it is dented and rroperly dry and core for it during the winter. Go into the fields and select ears from the best growing, sturdy stalks that have competition If possible. That is, select an average sized ear from two or three stalks in a hill rather than to select a big ear from one stalk in a hill. Try to get sound well dented ears. Better leave the biff sappy ears for feed because they will get a late maturing corn for next year. The well matured ears may not bo quite so large but they will get ripe earlier. Many methods are used In selecting seed corn from the field at this time. One good way Is to tie a stone or something sid about the hizc of a hon ess in one corner of the botton af a gunny or grain sack and fasten the other end of the strap or rope to the open end of the sack. Some rut a keg hoop in the open end of the sack to hold it open and then slip the sack up under the left arm with th strap or the rope over the risht shoulder. Now you are ready to go ahead and select corn with your hands free. Pile the seed orly Ions enough to gather a half day at a time. Do not leave seed corn piled over night when it lias moisture in It. It Is the early picked seed corn that is not taken care of that spoils and gives poor termination In the spring. Do not pick seed corn early and hang it on the windmill or out of doors where It gets warm during the day and gathers moisture and gets cold at night. The feeding of the people of the world is a serious problem end calls for the best efforts from all of us if we are going to DO OUR DUTY. Make arrangement now for your supply of seed for next year. About fifteen good sized ears will

plant an acre. A bushel of seed corn wil plant about six acres. That does not mean thnt the corn will grow. Select nlwut twice the amount of corn for seed thnt you will need and take the best of care of it. Kurly in the spring or late. In the winter test, don't guess, i.nil :ue 1f you can get a nearly perfect ; iuiv'. of corn. If ytu have an SO per cent stand that means with corn at $1 per bushel a loss of "0 cents for every bushel you do harvest. In this world-wide war struggle the farmer who does not do his best is taking a chance, at the expense of the country and all Its dependents. There arc thousands of people starving on the other side of the water and let us make another effort to do our best. We are having lots of opposition that is being covered up with the "No law for Its plea" but that is too fro-CJtrman to suit me. There is a law known as common sense law and we can do these necessary things that need to be done. Thursday, Oct. 11, 1917. should have Iho support of more people than farmers to got this supply of seed gathered. Do not forget that the state is calling for the whole of the following week for the work. The second annual School Fair will be held at the fair ground. The response that is coming from the schools and the teachers with their loyal support for this great agricultural display means that the .School Fair this year will be far ahead of last year. Remember that this contest Is open to the school district and that any of the products grown in the school district may bo exhibited. Each school has a booth which is assigned by the county agent. The buildings will be open Thursday and all exhibits should be in place by 10 o'clock Kriilay, so the Judges can have everything ready for the public by 1 o'clock Friday. Many boys and girls jbva asked if guinea pigs and rabbits could be exhibited. Certafnly. Wo will make a class for them. Bring thorn along. The parents have a right to help the children secure the best exhibits possible. Let us all do our best and see If we cannot get up enthusiasm for next year's work in making the greatest production possible in Lake county. This Is not only practical work but it is educational work. Do not forget that we are to have Mrs. Chas. Sewell and Mr. Kom with u-s who will bring messages that will be an Inspiration to all. Kvervbodv welcome. r No admission at the gates. Remember the dates. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 12-13, 1917. S. J. CRAIG, County Agent V. S. Dept. Agr.

THE FARMER AND THE LIBERTY BOND.

BY B. YV. S.OW, Manager of Snow's Crop New Agency.

No class of Americans are more vital

ly interested in the curbing of Germany's ambition for world domination than the farmers. The Pan-German purpose is industrial as well as political control of the world, and that means, if successful, that American industries will be smothered and America become simply a producer of raw material for the support of a German world-wide industrial supremacy. The decay of our manufac-

I turing center means the destruction of'

tliL- home market for farm products and the dependence of our farmers upon German workmen as consumers of what we grow. American farmers are doing great work In helping win the war by their increased production of food, but this, big ;is it is, is not enough. They are overlooking an equally great opportunity for real service and one that at the same time means personal profit to them. The f irmer understands what hard work is. but he is not experienced in making his money work for him as hard as he

! works himself.

Country banks are full of farmers" money, merely lyin there on deposit and actually working for th banker who holds it instead of for the farmer who owns it. The issuance of a new Liberty Loin is an opportunity for the farmer to rut his money where it i3 safer even than when it is lying in a bank and whVre he himself gets all that it earns. If he is compelled to sell the bond ho can do that as easily and as promptly as he could write a check; or if he only wants part of the investment money for a short time, he can borrow at any time from any bank, using it as collateral and drawing interest on it at the same time that he is paying interest for his shirt loan. The new loan will be In bonds of small

, enough size so that the wife and chllI dren can invest their small savings and j have them earning as much as a weali thy neighbor is getting fcr his large j sums. There is no better way of teaching thrift and business to young people : on the farm than by having them buy a j Liberty Bond out of their savings. I In short, all farmers should subscribe to the Liberty Loan not only as a pat- : riotic duty to help keep America free. ' hut as a business proposition to keep their money working where they will get all that It ra.rns and at the same time , be absolutely safe.

TO FIX FINISHED STEEL PRICES

Announcement comes from Washington that the war industries board expects to complete the price fixing program for all steel products by the end of the present month. There will be differentials. according to location, transportation conditions, etc., but all the furnaces can gf-uge the future by comparing the former prices with government fixed prices.

STANDARD STEEL GETS CAR ORDER The United States government has just placed orders for 4,800 narrow Tr.uge freight cars for army use in France. Contracts for 1.000 cars each were taken by tha Pressed Steel Car company, the Standard Steel Car company and the Ralston Eteel Car company, while the American Car and Foundry company received an order for l.sO cars.

flESIDEXCE OP MR. HARRY WA.XXER Secy. Hammond Malleable Iron Worka

Gentlemen, What Is Your Pleasure? The Board of Directors of THE KENWOOD COMPANY Will Please Come to Older

Director

'I propose, for consideration, a twenty-five per cent increase in the price of all

the remaining unsold lots in Kenwood. I base my suggestion on the following facts : 1. "About half of the street Improvement assessments have been paid for by this company. The Improvements include a deep, well built sewer, an asphalt macadam pavement on a six-inch concrete base and sidewalks that were laid when concrete cost half what it does now. 2. "The price of lots In Homewood, the only competitive property with Kenwood, are from Jl.600.00 to ll.SOO.OO for fifty feet or $32.00 to $36.00 a front foot while we are still selling these beautiful Kenwood lots for $1,000.00 for fifty feet or for $20.00 a front foot. S. "Kenwood has long since passed the experimental stage. It is now a subdivision of beautiful homes. Its character Is firmly established. Its restrictions assure its future development along the lines it has begun." Director :

I want to say that I am in thorough accord with the proposal of Director

I want to make the further suggestion, however, that steps be

taken at once to advertise the low cost of Kenwood lots and the casv terms of sale. We need not lay so much stress on the fact that Kenwood is the best laid out subdivision in the region, that some of Hammond's most attractive homes have been built there; that is a demonstrated fact. The public now concedes that. "The point we have got to drive home is the fact that Kenwood lots are not only the best but that they are the cheapest; that they can be bought for $100.00 down and $15.00 to $20.00 a month just like they sell greatly inferior property. ''Scores of people would buy in Kenwood if they knew they could get a homesite there for $950.00 or $1,000.00 and that the building restrictions are only $2,500.00. They have got the idea that a Kenwood lot would cost at least $1,500.00 and that they would have to build a house costing $5,000.00 to $8,000.00 on it. My idea is that a $3,500.00 or $4,000.00 house can be made just as attractive as one costing more money, so far as appearances go." Director :

'I understand that Kenwood is about two-thirds sold out but that our sales are

pretty well scattered over the entire subdivision. The houses that have been built are so located that one part of the subdivision is as attractive as another. "Xow I am not in favor of the unlimited sale of Kenwood lots at the old prices. The expenses of carrying this property have been great and if we initiate an advertising campaign, along the lines suggested, we are likely to be cleaned out, especially on contract sales where only a small amount of cash is required. Why I expect to see the time within the next two or three years when Kenwood lots will bring $2,000.00 for flftv feet. "I suggest that we RESTRICT THENUMBER OF SALES AT THE OLD PRICES TO 20 AS AVELL AS PUTTING OX THE TIME LIMIT.

' The motion is carried; it is so ordered. Motion to adjourn in order.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC: On and after January 1, 1918, or subsequent to the sale at an earlier date of twenty homesites in Kenwood; the price of all lots will be increased from $950 and $1,000.00 to $1,250.00. ROSCOE E. WOODS, President Hammond & Suburban Realty Co.
