THE world's series of 1912 Is one
likely to be remembered as long
as the game endures. Not only
will it bring together in the re
spective major league champions an
unusually well matched pair of con
testants, but it will also furnish a stake
of such gigantic proportions as to bring
out the very last ounce of fight
For every one at all concerned in the
national pan time a better post season
attraction could not be arranged as
that between the Giants and Red Sox.
In the matter of pure ability it is
doubtful If two better matched rivals
ever faced each other.
Furthermore, this is a year of years,
for upon it devolves the prestige of
the rival major leagues. This is the
"rubber" of world's championships.
Each league has now four titles to its
credit,' and upon this fall's result
hinges a great deal of civic pride
among the fraternity.
On form the Red Sox look the better
of the two teams. They have proved
this much by going through the whole
season without one serious slump. In
a long race like a season's champion
ship of 154 games the Giants would
suffer greatly by comparison. But a
world's championship series and a 154
game series are different propositions.
Usually, other things being equal,
this short dash puts it right up to the
batteries. More than ever will battery
strength figure in this fall's big series.
Outside the points the teams shape up
as of "about equal strength. The Red

CLASH FOB WORLD'S TITLE.
Sox lay It all over the Giants in th
matter of outfield strength. Boston
boasts the best garden trio of the game.
But New York fully equalizes this in
the infield. McGraw has an exception
ally classy inner defense. Boston's first
line is not brilliant Larry Gardner at
third is the best of the lot and there
are three or more third basemen in his
own company that are ranked higher
than the Boston man. But the infield
four of the Speed Boys cover a multi
tude of sins by heavy stick work. Ev
ery one of them is a slugger. Heinie
Wagner is almost as much of a terror
as his illustrious namesake of the Pi
rates. Jake Stabl is a fence buster. In
defensive speed and skill New York
undoubtedly lays it over Boston's in
field. However, the Hub's superior hit
ting power and the outfield advantages
make it just about a toss up.
- It's pretty nearly a question of pitch
ing, then. Both teams have wonderful
catchers. Meyers, McGraw's classy
Indian backstop, has nothing on Car
rigan, except perhaps a shade in hit
ting ability. It is his superior strength
In the box that should give Stahl a
shade advantage at the start He has
five rattling good tossers, any one of
whom is likely to make McGraw's best
step to the limit Joe Wood, Bedient
Hall. O'Brien and Collins. Wood is one
of the most wonderful pitchers of the
age. He is a speed marvel of the Wal
ter Johnson type. Bedient is another,
fast ball pitcher, and a dandy, too.
Hall is a good -curve ball manipulator.
"Bucky" O'Brien, just rounding into
effectiveness for the first time this sea
son, is one of the greatest spitball

one of us is bound to make

circle the widest good may flow. -Each

mind the thought that out of a single
household may flow influences that
shall stimulate the whole civilized

New York will have the time of its
life beating any one of the five pitch
ers, unless the Giant tossers fling shut
out ball. New York never has seen
such speed as Wood will show; O'Brien
is a better spitball tosser than Hendrix
of the Pirates. Collins is the best left
hander in the American league.

talent the Giants will have to stack

And of the three Tesreau looms up as
the great hope. Strangely enough the
Red Sox fear this green, inexperienced
tosser more than they fear Matty or
the "Rube." Teserau is big enough
to work every other day if necessary,
and he has just the kind of a spit
ball that the Red Sox do not relish.
In fact, Boston murders most any
thing but the spitball. The Hub- team
looks forward with pleasure to a meet
ing with Mathewson. In 1909 the
speed boys half massacred "Big Six"
when he was at the height of his
glory. They now figure him an "old
man" compared to those days. Of Mar
quard the Hub has no fear. The fal

New York will have one great ad
vantagethat of having been through
one world's series campaign. This
should prove a big boon in a battle
among youngsters on both sides. -One
thing is certain. New York is
not likely to lose its nerve in the com
ing series and Boston may. The Giants
proved their gameness against the Ath
letics last fall. The , Red Sox have
never been known fo show the white
feather and will not likely start at this
late day. Altogether it looks like the
best world's series of history from
every angle. .

SELtCTINGJEEO.CORN
Matter of Great Importance to
the Farmer
Field Selection of Seed Corn is the
Keynote to Successful Corn Breetl-
Ing Select the Ears In the rield
(Reply to Jacob H. MarKhlxim, Cath
erine Lake, North Carolina.)
We are delighted to Tsnow that you
are interested in the breeding of good
seed corn. Next to the -better and
more thorough- preparation of -the soil,
the proper selection and production of
seed corn is the work most needed in
the south. The variety fests at the
Experiment Stations show that of
twelve of the leading varieties of corn
tested, the difference between the
higest and lowest yield per acre on
the same kind of soil with identical fer
tilization and cultivation was 15.2 hu.
We fully believe that the average yield
of corn in the south can be increased
more than twenty-five per cent by
planting prolific seed instead of seed
that has run out "Like produces
like."
It will probably he best for you to
buy the best seed from- some reput
able breeder in your section and then
learn the best scientific methods to
further Improve the seed. The buy
ing of the best seed from some reput
able breeder in your section will save
you several years of labor and expense
in breeding up the seed. However,
yon can, by following instructions,
rapidly breed up your own corn.
First, select stalks that bear the
ears at. a moderate height on the
stalks for the reasons that it Is diffi
cult to gather ears too high and the
stalk Is apt to be top heavy and easily
blown down by winds.
Second, select stalks of medium
size, gradually tapering from base lo
tassel.
Third, with large eared varieties,
no stalks that have more than two
ears should be selected, and an effort
should he made to select some stalHs
that have two ears and some ih.it ha
one.
Fourth, the leaves should be broad
and strong, from twelve to sixteen in
number, and well distributed on the
stalk.. r ,
Fifth, the stalks should be well
anchored by numerous strong base
roots from one to two joints above
the ground to enable to withstand
winds. Stalks free from suckers
should be selected as far as possible.
Sixth, detassel all weak stalks and
stalks growing only nubbins or no
ears at all just before the silks begin
to show in good number. This will
prevent fertilization ty' Inferior stalks.
Seventh, the ear should be cylindri
cal or nearly so. It should be full
and strong in the middle portion and
the circumference should be approxi
mately three-quarters of its length.
The shuck should be heavy and well
extended over the end of the ear and
closely gathered about the silk. The
shank that bears the ear should be
long enough to permit the ear to droop
at maturity.
Eighth, from ten to thirty times as
many ears should be selected as will
be necessary to plant next year's
crops.
Ninth, it Is best to select and pick
the seed corn n the field before the
first frost. The seed ears should be
placed where they will be kept dry,
and where they will be protected from
damage by weevils, rats, etc
Tenth, during the winter remove
the shucks from the ears of corn and
select the necessary number of the
best ears to plant in the spring. The
rows of kernels should be straight,
and not less than sixteen nor more
than twenty-two in number. The ear
should be from eight to ten and a half
Inches long. The color of grain
should be true to variety. White corn
should have white Cobs and yellow
corn red cobs. The tip should not be
too tapering. It should be- well covered
with straight rows of regular kernels
of uniform size and shape. The rows
St kernels should extend in regular
order over the butt end of the cob,
leaving a depression where the shank
is removed. The tips of the kernels
should be full and strong, leaving no
space between- them near the cob.
The kernels should - be about five
sixteenths ,of an Inch wide by five
eighths of an inch long, and about six
to the inch in the row.
It Is a good plan to have a special
seed patch and plant say . twenty-fly
of. the best ears in this patch. Each
ear should be planted in a row without
mixing with any .other ear. Twenty
five rows -planted in this way will be
sufficient for the average farmer. At
maturity, harvest each row separately
and weigh the yields. Select the ears
for next year's seed patch from the
rows that give the highest yields, and
the remaining portion of , the rows of
highest yield are used for- planting
the field crop. And so the work
should be continued from year to year.
Yours very truly.
