BKH FRANCISCO, Nov. 12. (Spe cial.) The official count of Califor nia's vote In the Presidential election will, begin tomorrow throughout the etate. On the outcome of this tally depends the action which the Repub lican state central committee may take toward a re-count Accordingly the count will be watched closely by representatives of the etate central committee in every county seat. Attorneys have been en gaged and checkers employed to scru tinize the1 count of every tally sheet. Under the direction of the Republi can state central committee, which has urged each county chairman to ener getio action, the county committees have completed arrangements for the count. In each connty the local com mittee nominated an attorney to act as legal adviser during the count and the Btate central committee authorized his employment. Forces of checkers were engaged locally. Not a county has failed to prepare. Supervisors to Compile Returns. Except In the case of San Francisco and Los Angeles the count of the tally sheets sent in by the precinct election officers will be held before the Board of Supervisors in each county. It is the duty of the supervisors to compile the returns from the tally sheets and certify them officially to the Secre tary of State. In San Francisco city and county the election returns are . handled by the Election Commission, and in Los An geles County by the Registrar of Voters. In San Francisco the count will begin tomorrow morning in the rooms of the Election Commission in the City Hall. The -Republican State central commit tee is to be represented continuously during the progress of the tally by at torneys and checkers. Attorneys to Work; In Relays. The attorneys are to work in relays, each with his own force of checkers. The moment one of the checkers finds anything questionable about any of the tally sheets or the count the law yer is to go to the front asd make the battle before the Commission. The Republican State central com mittee is still busy getting in figures on the Individual vote on all electors. Whether anything will develop from this the committee says it does not know yet. But according to Secretary McAtee it has been found so far that Mrs. Carrie L. Tyler, the last elector on the Democratic ticket, was con sistently scratched. This may work out, said Secretary McAtee, far enough so that the highest Republican elector, who is supposed to be Carlston, may prove to be a winner.

SEED CORN IS IMPORTANT Good Sources Would Turn Failure Into Success Cheaply. WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 11. The need of sources from which suitable seed corn can be obtained in the semi arid and Rocky Mountain regions is great and is Increasing. 'Being a sparsely-settled country, subject to ex treme seasonal variations, seed of Adapted varieties is much scarcer each year than in sections where the corn crop is more certain. Nothing else would so cheaply turn many corn failures into successes as the establishment of good sources of I seed corn. AVhile a knowledge of corn breeding would be helpful, any farmer can do much toward B.ipplying him self and his neighborhood with better seed . corn by starting with a well tested variety and selecting the best ears from the best stalks each year. By so doing, natural selection assists in weeding out the unfit. Where corn is grown for grain there is no better locality from which to obtain seed than that in which it is to be planted. Where grown for the silo or for large stalk growth, seed may be obtained to advantage from a more southern locality or a lower altitude. Farmers' bulletin 415 of the United States Department of Agriculture, which may be obtained free upon ap plication, treats of tho selection and care of seed corn. A point of greatest importance is that of holding over from good crops sufficient seed corn for two or three years' plantings. This Is essential in the origination and perpetuation of high-yielding varieties adapted to local conditions. Seed corn that matures well and dries out promptly without injury will keep its good germinating and yield UfcBT power for four or five years. Seed corn of the best quality car be always available by protecting a sufficient quantity from moisture and insects and otffer animals.
