S*l*ctlng Corn for
Prof. P Q. Holdeu. low# Slate GxA
l»ge. says that It is v®ry import-ant
to trade seed corn before planting in
the field, *o that each S-ade of corn
(when shelled i shall b* adjusted sap
arately lor each site, thus securing
accurate aad uniform dropping Grad
ing eau ba uwiie by selecting ears of
a uniform slse, and shelling the tips
into out pan, the butt* into another,
and the centers into a third
Now aa regards corn breeding: It
can be done by any farmer who will
give the matter the necessary atten
tion. To begin with, select the breed
of corn which has the most desirable
characteristics and is suited to the
locality. If a good type Is not at
hand, it will be wise to purchase a
few bushels of good ears Select,
say, 21 of the best ears, and plant
the seed In a "breeding plot” away
from all other cornfields. Plant the
corn from each ear in a separate row,
making 21 rows. When tassels ap
pear, cut them off each alternate row
(leaving tassels on. the two outside
rows, and then on every alternate in
side row). The object of this detas
seling is to prevent Inbreeding.
When the breeding plot corn is ripe,
husk the product of each of the de
tasseled rows separately, says Purdue
University Bulletin No. 10T>, You can
now compare the products of the
various ears and make your selection
of single ears for the next year’s
planting. Select from the rows, or
lots, which gave the largest yields
nnd the largest proportion of ears
true to the desired type Tioth fac
tors must be considered Accurate
weights of the yields must be made,
and these should be recorded. Selec
tion should be made only from the '
detasseled rows, because they are the
only rows which you are sure have
not been Inbred. Select from at least
two lots and use the ears from the
better one for the mother plants, or
the detasseled row's, next year. If
four or six rows are good enough to i
select from, they should be used In
order to prevent possible harm from i
too close breeding After you have
made your selection for next year's
seed-plot, the remainder of the good
ears in the good lots should be se
lected as seed for the next year's
bulk crop, A continuation of this
method of breeding and selection is
bound to result in more and better
corn from year to year
All our corn intended for seed
should be harvested before October
15, and hung in the attic or in some
similar dry place
Growing the crop: Tluwough prep
aration of the ground is essential.
Plant the seed about two inches deep,
four kernels to the hill, hills about
three feet eight inches apart each
way, rows all straight. Cultivate one,,
with a light pegtooth harrow before
rorn is up: then cultivate, shallow,
at ten-day intervals until time to lay
by the crop. Keep the ground level
at all times; do not "hill up" Tar
the seed before planting Thin hills
to two stalks. Replant any missing
hills promptly
Practices differ somewhat in differ
ent. parts of the country, hut the fore
going hints are based on average con
i' ivbir.a and methods.

IS MUCH UNJUST
FEELING AGAINST
HOT SPRINGS
No City in the State Has Done More
to Advertise Arkansas and Bring
Investments and Citizens Into Her
Borders.
Two things are unfortunate for our
state. One is, that her people lu gen
eral know so little about the greatest
health resort in the world, located in i
her territory. The other Is, a wide
spread prejudice, more or less viru
lent, against Hot Springs. This pre
judice has been created largely by
the wild ravings of visionary religious ]
cranks, and alleged ' reformers," who
have branded the place as "a hell
hole" etc. Another class of detainers j
are persons who have gone there to j
"have a good time" or to "beat the j
oilier fellows game," have sought the
dives and found sharper crooks than |
themselves. Lacking moral courage i
to tell the truth as to how they were I
separated from their wads, they have
cursed the town as a community of
“grafters and thieves." There is, per
haps, less truth in either of these
stories than of any great resort of its j
nature anywhere in the world. Many j
of the leading churchmen of the coun- !
try have visited Hot Springs, studied j
conditions, and declared that in law j
enforcement and iiigti moral and so- j
cial standards. Hot Springs will com- 1
pare with any city of its size and
character in the country.
Admittedly the most renowned
health resort in the world, Hot
Springs is a distinction to the state,
of which all her people should feel
proud. They ought to learn more
about this wonderful place and then
they would think better of it. It has
done more than any other agency or
city to advertise Arkansas to the
world. It has been the means of
bringing more capital into the state
for investment than any other city.
Wealthy people from all sections go
there for health or rest, who other
wise would never have come to the
state, have learned of our marvelous
resources and made large invest
ments in lands, timber, mineral anti
manufacturing Industries. These in
vestments have sought various set
tions of the state, and if a full list of
them could be lold it would make a
wonderful story For these reasons
tlie people all over the state should
be proud of Hot Springs, should feel
an interest in its growth and ad
vancement, should send men to the
legislature who could, at, least have
some appreciation of its importance
to the whole state sufficiently to deal
fairly with it in legislative matters.
The unfounded prejudice against
Hot Springs has. to some extent, niili
luted against the State Fair, because
that institution is located there. The
Stale Fair is not heal to Hot Springs
beyond the mere fact of being held
there, an incident due solely to the
fact that the owners of the Oaklawn
race track have for five years given
the free use of their half-million dol
lar plant to the people of the state
lor the purpose of ttie fair. This fact
is entitled to some appreciation. On
the other hand, the location of tie
fair at Hot Springs adds greath to
its benefits to the state. No city in
the state is so well equipped for
comfortably taking care of the multi
tudes who go to t lie fair, and at no
other point would the resources of
our state be so widely advertised to
the outside world as there. He just
and fair to Hot Springs. Boost the
State Fair, for what it is—"gf and for
s»?i£4nsa8.*'
There was no doubt that something
was the matter with Johnny. The
heart of his mother stood still for
one panic-stricken second.
"No, mother,” he said wrhen she car
ried the piece of pie to him out in
the back yard. "I don't care for it.
I don’t feel like eating."
And this at 4 o'clock in the after
noon, when usually he was ravenous.
“Does your head ache?" she asked,
anxiously. Johnny wriggled and con
sidered. He kicked the toy rake with
which he had been industriously pil
ing up gravel and then shook his head
in question.
"No, not exactly," he told her. “Hut
my bead feels awful queer! I feel
queer in most parts of me. 1 shouldn't |
wonder if I was going to be awful
sick!"
“Goodness gracious, Johnny!" cried
his mother. "Tell me just how you
feel and where it hurts!"
"Nothing hurts, exactly,” her son
said. "That Is, nothing that 1 know
the name of. Hut I feel awful funny.
I don’t think 1 feel like walking clear
to Mrs. Smith’s with that package you
asked me to-”
“You’d better come right into the
house and lie down,” said his mother
"I'll cover you up with the new
afghnn."
"Yes’m," said her son, obediently,
thus further alarming his parent.
She hovered over him with hot lem
onade and other delectable things un
til his father came home. The in
valid on the library couch could hear
the indistinct murmur of their voices
from the front hall, where his mother
had stopped his father to tell him the
news.
I can't imagine!" his mother was
saying "He’s been so well all sum
nier up at the farm and has played
and eaten like six boys instead of one
—and ever since we got home two
days ago he’s been acting so queer
and tnopy no energy or noise! I
tiling we'd better have the doctor in!"
Johnny’s father came in with an
ostensibly cheerful air and stood by
the couch. "Hello!" he said as he
rested his fingers on his son’s fore
head. "What’s this I hear? Why,
you’re not sick—you’re fooling!”
Johnny regarded him with reproach
ful eyes. 1 feel awful queer." he p
peated. "Kind-a sick and—and fun
ny.”
"He hasn't, any fever," said his fath
er to his mother, "and his eye3 look
all right. Still, of course, you can’t
tell about a child. I'll just, phone I)r.
Hilpacker-”
'I here was a wail from the couch.
"1 don’t want Dr. Hilpacker!" Johnny
cried "1 don’t want any horrid old
doctor!"
1 on see,” said his mother, "how
nervous he is? That’s totally unlike
himself! I’m sure something serious
is the matter with him! Vow, John
ny, the doctor won’t give you any bit
ter medicine. It will have sugar all
over it and you won’t mind it at a!!—"
There was a positive howl of pro
test from the couch The volume of
Johnny’s cries held no hint of weak
ness.
"I simply can’t understand him!"
Johnny’s mother said, on the verge of
tears.
Johnny’s father sat down detormin
edly and grasped one rebellious small
hand. "Now, son," he said, "tell fath j
er all about it."
*Th(*y ain’t noth-notbin’ to tell.
Johnny sniffed.
“Well, can you think of anything
you want that would make you feel j
better? Just tell me what the trou
ble is."
The invalid’s eyes roamed from th«>
ceiling to the mantel and then rnet his
father’s gaze for a brief ser«nd
"There is somethin’." he admitted. "1
think it would make me well."
"What?" demanded both parents, In
a breath.
.Johnny gulped, and then spoke very
rapidly. “I think I need to go back'
to the farm and help Andrew dip out
gopher holes an' ride the old horse
an' fish an' everything' And I think
I'd better start early next Monday'"
Johnny's father, after a brief pause
hired bis head over his shoulder and
spoke low to Johnny's mother: School I
begins next Monday, you know -the
little Imp!"
Then lie arose and grinned down at
ill- Invalid son "See here!” he raid
sharph "Vim get right up and take
that bundle over to Mrs. Smith's, and
hustle back here in time for dinner!
i think you'll be wi ll by tbit time,
don't you? \nd you 'll be feeling extra
brisk by next Monday morning and
hove all your books ready for school! j
Or shall you and I have a so... ion in
the hasenu nt ?"
Johnny was scrambling to bi foot
I guess I feel bettor now," he ad
mitted "I don't fee! so (inert 1 guess
I'm going to be all right!"

THE dollar at the door
One day a silver dollar sought
A lodging1 in the town,
i'h<- cheery ring of silver brought,
intent to settle down.
The fellow it was first to sight
Was one, I’m sad to sav,
Who did not hasten to invite
The coin in town to stay.
This most unpatriotic man,
instead of being glad
To aid the dollar in the plan
To help the town it had.
The dollar sent afar to roam,
In other regions then,_
And never to his town or home,
That dollar came again.
* $ *
Another dollar also came,
Hut met a man more kind—
A fellow with a difT’rent name,
.More patriotic mind.
He asked it in, he hade it stay
And help the town to grow
And never more it roamed away
Or cared afar to go.
From house to house that dollar went
And labored for the good
Of ev’ry man to whom ’twas sent
And all the neighborhood.
It helped the farmer’s field to till,
lo swing tlie woodsman’s ax,
To build the church upon the hill
And pay the village tax.
* * *
Next time a dollar comes to town
Let's greet it with a cheer;
D >n't send it nil or turn it down
But let it settle here—
I* or ev ry dollar comes to roost
In home or farm or store
Ls one more dollar come to boost
The town a little more!
Will pay $1.50 per btishel
Irish potatoes. Bring me all
have. J. II. Holderby.
