THE SALEM DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, ORE., THURSDAY. SEPT. 23. 1915. FIVE WHY FARMERS SHOULD EXHIBIT ATCORN SHOWS How Ears Should Be Selected for Ex tiblt Describe Perfect Ear of Corn. As October and November ore to be the montln of com shows in Marion county, the following article by County Agriculturist L. J. Chapin, is timely and of especial interest to those who in tend to exhibit. In this article Mr. Chapin not only tells how to select and preserve the ears of corn for an exhibit, but also gives a description of inst but tne- kind ' ,n ear tuat would have a chance of winning an award. The Corn Show. By LuUier J. Chapin, County Agriculturist. The corn show should serve two pur poses. First, it should afford an op portunity to study the best types of the different varieties and learn which varieties are best adapted to local con ditions, and second, it should afford an opportunity to secure the best local grown seed for next year's crop. The first of these purposes is edu cative, pointing out the desirable char acteristics of good seed corn in order that everyone may have a standard for seed selection. This is, indeed, the most important purpose of the ahow. ' Every farmer Use The Fast Frequent Trains of the OREGON ELECTRIC RAILWAY to the 54th Annual State Fair Week of September 27 Oct. 2.

The writer las found several farm ers carefully selecting the flinty, glazed ears from dent varieties instead of the rougher, deep-grained ears. SSuch a mis take would not occur after examining the prize exhibits at a corn show. For various reasons mmy farmers will purchase their seed corn "every spring. It will be necessary for them to buy their seed from some neigh bor or, at least, seed that is known to be acclimated. For the next year or two local-grown seed corn will be in great demand as many farmers will be growing corn for the first time. The show will afford these farmers, as well as others who have failed to save their own sed, an opportunity to secure seed from the best in the county. In selecting samples of corn for show, bear in mind that the best seed ear is also the best show ear. In fact, the principal purpose of all agricultural shows' is to raise the standard of the product shown. This can best be ace- eomplished, first, by securing good seed, and second, by following the methods of the most successful growers. The ears should be allowed to ripen on the stalk. Then they should be sus pended singly, either by wire or string hangers, in a dry well-ventilated place and thoroughly dried. This will require several weeks unless heat is applied. The ears should be firm and solid so that an attempt to twist them, will produce a creaking sound. Seed corn should be dried out as quickly as possible and then kept dry until planting time. As a definite guide in selecting sam ples the following seore card is giv en: A perfect ear of corn should be cylin drical or nearly so in shape. The cir cumference should be three-fourths of its length. The rows should be straight and not less than 16 nor more than 22 in number. The kernels should be well formed (about C-16 of an inch wide by 5-8 of an inch long), uniform in size and, shape and six to the inch in the row. win Alaskan Mining Men Secure Properly and Start Devel opment Work jt ift afc 3C 3C 3(t ?c Sjs iC j(t !(t )t 5t lC )C wad nnnmcc una vuuiuun . : 3j JC ift ijt jj )(c c JJt 3! sf( ic f( 3jC )f( 35 !t Dondou.

Marion county, one of the best in the state in the agricultural way, may soon come into promiuente as also ono of the leading mining counties. For some years the Gold , creek luiuing district lias been on the map and much develop ment work Las been done, especially by the Gold Creek & Freelaud Consolidated I companies. Otto Hansou, of the Gold I creek company, has always had un bounded faith in the camp, and has shown it by putting his money into development work. This company is now running a crosscut to tap the ledge at good depth, and has about 1)00 feet of tunnel to run yet to complete this work. Its ores ou the upper lauds are of good grade and with the rim cut at good depth showing there is quautity as well as quality it will prove a great mine. Hugh Freeland, who organized the Freeland consolidated, a short time ago sold his interests to mining men from Alaska, and has gone east to reside. The new owners are putting develop ment work and are uncovering some splendid ore. A sack of about 100 pounds shipped by them recently, netted something more than $40. They are now getting out a carload of ore for ship ment, from which good returns are ex pected. "Minnie E.," one of their prop erties, is showing fine ore and bids fair to be the first really big mine to be opened. The Lewis & Clarke, owned by Silver- lOU people, la niaiviug iiuti nnun uig ui silver-bearing galena and gives promise of being a big producer. The Black Eagle has a concentrating plant on the grounds, but for some rea son has done but little work for a year past. The Silver King is another property showing up well. I he old Capital mino, one of the first located, has some fine ore, but nothing has been done on it for some years. The recent activities in the camp has Btirred its owners, and work may be resumed on it booh. The Hope property is getting in ma chinery and has quite a good body of ore in sight and tins cf really lngli grade. The camp is livelier than it haB ever been and it looks as though the faith and tenacity of the owners is to be rewarded at last, and in a way to make Mn r ion perhaps the leading milling county of the state. Forest Fire Patrolmen .... Now Being Laid Off Throughout the northern part of the state the force of forest fire patrol men lias been reduced to about one third of the body that watched for fires during the driest part of the summer ac cording to State Forester Klliott. In Jackson and Josephine counties numer ous brush fires nro now burning and the patrol force in these two counties has not been reduced. The fires in this district, however, aro small though numerous, and all of tlim are under control. Tho reduction of the patrol force means a corresponding conserva tion of the forestry funds and the lone, dry summer has brought a heavy drain on this fund. The longer nights and heavy dews which prevail at this time of the year has also reduced the necessity for so many pnlrolmen in the field. With the coming of the stnU' fair the forestry officials aro looking forward to rains especially in this section of the state. of the siibma- a British East; oasi rtsuing euy m.s oeen oougeu 10; import fish, tho Grimsby trawlers feel- j ing safer in port.

Iu the morn ing wash it off with warm water. If you've never tried it you can't imagine the magical effect of this harmless home treatment. It causes tho old worn out scarf skin to come off in minute particles, a little at a time, and soon you have entirely Blied the offensive cuticle. The fresh young under-skin now in evidence is so healthy and girlish looking, s free from any ap pearance of artificiality, you wonder why you had not heard of this marvel ous complexion-renewing secret long ago. Equally magical in its action is a sim ple wrinkle-removing lot ion made by dissolving an ounce of powdered suxo- lite in a half pint of witch hazel.
