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

should save his own seed and, in or
der that he may do this most intelligent
ly, he anst have the beet type well in
hand.
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.

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.

To maintain a clear, white, youthful
complexion, there's nothing so simple to
use Bnd yet so effective as ordinary
mcrcolized wax, which you can get at
any drug storo Just apply the wax at
night as you would cream. 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. Until
ing tho face in this for two or three
minutes immediately affects every line
and furrow and improves facial contour
wonderfully,
