To whom it may concern : I hereby announce my candidacy - dacy for the office of County sup- crlnten ent of Custcr county , subject to will of thc republican cOI1\'cntion. A. L. PIItRCR. . - . The sta tc legislature has agreed to adjourn to day. How much good has been accomplished , by 'thc session can best be dctermin- ed when thc grist of laws cnact- cd and amendcd havc been pub- lishcd. t is now authortively statcd that Russia ha talcn steps to enter into pcace ncgotiations with Japan and that thc good offices of the Unitcd Statcs and Francc offercd was the erimc factor in bringing' about the result. - . . - - . A copy of the daity proceedings - ings of the prescnt lcgislature would be a good criterion to havc , whcrc it ber.omcs necessary to sclect members for the ncxt legis- lature. It will enable the public to see who were true to their con- stitucnt , . - - - - - - - The intcrest that is bcing manifested - ifested in the organization of a Co-opc ative telcphone Co , by thc peoll , generally outside of Broken - en Bow shoul be sufficient to awal < < m the citizens of Broken Bow to realize the importancc of the opportunity. T.he 'Count ) ' o-op r t.ivc Tclc- phone scheme is maldng a fair start to succced. AU that is needed - ed now is a sufficicnt number of subscribers to tale up tbe Adamson - son plant. It is estimated that , the entire county under the Cooperative - operative plan call be opcrated successfully for at least liatf that it costs the patrons at present. . - . - The plan proposed in dividing the county into telephone districts - tricts is to divide it in to ninc districts - tricts over which shall be elected nine dircctors. These directors shdll constitute tl1e board of cU- rectors. Eacl1 director shall have supervision over his respective dbtrict and may subdivide it into as mauy divisions as there are local lines. . - _ . - - The Scate .Journal reproduces in its issue of the 27th , a number of editorial comments of the republican - publican newspapers of the state criticising twe legislature for not supporting the anti-pass and direct - rect primary measures , that were up for considerahon. The comments - ments included more than twenty . of the country newspapers of the state , that were active in securing the election of tbe majority it1 this session of the legislature. The Journal evidently takes pride in finding that it has a host oj supporters in tbe newspaper fraternity - ternity in demanding fair plaJ for tbe people. . - - - - - 'CI".r.r J" : t F. W.

Lnrgo Crom1 Ol1thf'rl'll To JI'nr The LJctllrcs Friday morning the seed corn special arrived in Broken Bow a few minutes of schedule time and. . was greeted by several hundred I people who assembled at the depot - pot to hear the specialists discourse - course on the b st methods of selecting seed and cultivation of corn , wheat , etc. ' [ 'he special train was an enterprise of the B. ! & M. railroad , assisted by the . agricultural department of the state university. 'rhe train was in chargc of Gen. Supt. Rhodes , Division Supt. , Phelan , Assistant Gen. Freiglt agent Johnson , Di.- vision freight agent Cox , Industrial - trial Commissioneer W. H. Manss and L. M. Whitehcad , traveling - ing passenger agent , and accompanied - panied by Prof's T. F. Lyon , MontgomerJ' , Burnett , Lewelling , and S. C. Bassett. Both the lecture cars were crowded to their full capacity and an overflow meeting was held at the rear of the train on the outside. Prof. Burnett discusscd especially seed corn , how to select and the best way to produce the greater number - ber of busl1els per acre. His theory is that the main reason for the difference between a good crop , a poor crop and no crop , depends - , pends greately upon the quality I . ot seed plantcd. I. lIe claimed that two thing's are of prime importance in selecting - I I ting SCf'd to plant. First , the strain of corn to be grown , second , the quality of seed. He exhibited two glass cylinder - der tubes of corn , shelled from two ears of different kinds of corn , the ears being prac.tically the same in size and general ap- pearance. One ear shelled about tbird more than the other. He I . advoeates selecting the seed corn early in the fall by going through the field , taking two rows at a time and when you find a satisfactory - factory car on a good stalk pull ; . tl1e husk back , sufficient to mark. it amI before the corn freezes. rather and store in some dry room so as to dry it out before cold freezing weather sets , This method will proc m corn that will grow. speaking of kind of ears to select he described it as cylindrical - drical ear , with straight r ws of kerncls , extending from one end of the ear to the otber , with the grains as near uniform in size as possibe and the ear uniform in size. with deep kernels , uniform in size as only kernels of the same size will drop venly from the planter , which is necessary for in even stand. Length of kearnel he bolds is an important feature because it is by increasing' the lengtb of the kernel that it becomes possible to increase the quantity of grain on a given size cob. He claims it ismuch more preferable than to select - ect for a small cobas a small cob will result in a de.crease in size of ear. Anothcr important factor in selecting seed corn is the kind f stalk on which it grows. It is essential that the character be I exam.ined as ritlcally as the ear. I The Ideal stalk should be short , I thick , tapering from the ba e tJ the tassel and bearing its ear or c . . . , . .

'It ' is claimed tha.t a thick stalk ! wi1 stand the drouth better than a slender one and is : better able to support an ear of good size. By careful selection of seed , and thorough cultivation it is claimed - ed that from 5 to 10 bushels more corn can be raiserl 'to thc acre lhan where no care in selecting seeds \ followcd. When one has found a satisfactory variet.- , Prof. Burnett claims the next in importance is to keep it to its highest degree of productiveness , by always selecting thebest seed of that variety. He recommends that to do this a seed patch could be planted seperate from other fields. He says that experience has demonstrated that the longer a plan t is g-rown under certain soil and climatic condition the better it becomes adapted to those conditions. The reason a strain of corn does Urun out" when it ; has been grown for a number of : years on thc same farm is because i of the careless manner in which the seed has been selected. Cultivation of the corn at the I ! right time and frequently , was I said by Prof. Lewelling to be an im portan t factor in obtaining a good , yield. He gave as an illustration - ustration an experiment- his own , in which he had a field plowed late in the season. The hand quit Saturday noon and lacked about three acres of plowing - ing the entire field. The difference - ence in the yield was five bushels to the acre in favor of that which received the extra cultivation. Prof. Lyon in speaking of macaroni wheat stated that in the last three years , of the seed that had been. sent out by the university for testing had averaged - aged 21.2 bushels. He says the best quality of macaroni wheat is raised. in western Nebraska where the light rain fall is favorable - able to its growth. In speaking of the amo'unt of seed that should be sown he. says that best results can be secured by sowing at least 1 bushels to tbe acre. Upon this Point S. J. Lonergan , of tbis city , who has experimented extensively - tensively in sowing macaroni wheat claims that even better re- suits can be obtained by sowing two bushels. to the acre , with press drill and that while a bush- el and half sowing will raise from 20 to 25 bushels to the acre , that two bushcls will run the yield up to 35 bushels. It is because the ! . berry of the macaroni wheat is so much larger than other wheat that more is required to tbe acre to get best results. , - - - I Bread keeps fresh longer Bread tastes far better Bread does yo more good when if's made \vith YEASY , FOAIM . fIle 'ZlJ011de1j that took tbo Flr olJrand Prizi at. tbo tn.
