The seed corn special arrived on time at 2:30 Friday afternoon and despite the stormy weather was greeted by about 200 farmers and business men, who were anxious to learn what consti tuted good seed corn. Crowding the two demonstration care until standing room was at premium, the nuditors were given a serios of talks on the sub ject of seod com and these talks were supplemented by charts and specimens of corn in the various stages of gei mi-nation. The visitof the special here awakened renewed interest in the desiie to secure good seed corn, and the purpose of the train was warmly endorsed. Tests of corn made by Derryberry & Forbes and by others show that much of the corn grown in this section last year possesses a high per centage of germinating power, and this seems to be particularly 'rue of that grown north of the Nortt Platte river. The ma jority of the com grown in McPherson county is said to be good for seed. BBMKii3HafiSS5SSn A Jk, nnoime a men.

Farmers who are feeding cattle and hogs are inclined to "growl" more or less over the high price of corn, espec ially as the present 'market p$ce of both cattle and hogs is not in keeping with the price of corn. A. W. Arnett, of Hinman precinct, who is feeding about 100 hogs, tells ns that he is paj ing Seventy cents for corn and hauling it himself. John TolIBoo, of Nichols, shipped in a car from the east port of the state la-t week thpt cost him sev enty cents ,on the track at Nichols. Sevcnty-eent corn should mean sven cento per pound for hogs, if the feeder is to get a profitable return for his feeding, but the present price is below six centt . OR, W. F.
