AI nlll 110 mellt.
Mason City , Neb. ,
l'ebrunry ; 27 , 1905.
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.

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 .
. . , .
. I . - - - . - . . - - . . . - " - . . . . . . . , . . _
,
! cars well below the middle and
I I frc frQm suckcri , 'and disease.
'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.
