JIN COLLINS' DEATH.
Particulars Of the Passing Away
Of a Virginia Boy In Colorado.
Mr. Jim Collins died at
j Rocky Ford, Colo., August 19th,
j 1910. He came to this country
! January, 1910. He was born in
I Virginia. His age I do not
know, but I would guess about
123 or 24 years of age. Jim has
lots of friends in Rocky Ford,
j and his death was a sad blow to
jhis many friends in Colo., al
though he was sick with fever
for four weeks, but his death
was unexpected. No one
thought the time was so short.
God moves in a mysterious way,
his wonders to perform. Young
i Collins was bright up to the last
moment. He said he was will
i ing to go. I went to see him
! every day. I often wonder why
' some are born to die so soon,
i Perhaps his friends in Virginia
and North Carolina will think
that he did not have the right
i attention, but he had all done
i
' for him that earthly hands could
1 do. Dr. Robert M. Pallock was
his doctor, and there can't be
j any better doctor than he is.
Dr. Pallock and his good nurses
'stayed by him day and night.
I went every day to see him,
fiAi I know he was cared for.
I He was taken with a pain in his
bowels and lived but a short
time. Everything was done
that could be done to save him,
but it was all in vain. God saw
fit to take him. Jim was a good
boy, and everybody that knew
him went to see him, and was
ready to do all for him they
could. His people have my
deepest sympathy in their
trouble. May God bless them
and help them to stand their
grief. God's will mustJ)e done,
not ours.

SAVING SEED CORN
LETTER FROM W. A. PETREE
A Few Words of Advice to tbe
Farm Demonstrators' In South
eastern Stokes.
I wish to say to you that I
had thought to visit your farms
this week and make some sug
gestions about selecting your
seed corn in the field. But as I
,am called off to attend a meet
-1 ing of the Demonstrate Agents
|at Pinehurst, N. C., and will be
| gone all the week, I cannot get
around to your farms this week,
I and knowing that it would be
best for you to select your seed
corn before you pull your fodder,
through the kindness of the Re
porter I am making a few sug
gestions about the matter
through its columns,
j While I do not know just
| what type or kind of corn you
' want, I suppose that you would
attach more importance to yield
! than to beauty and symmetry of
■ form of ears. Straight rows
j and pretty shaped ears are de-
Isrible characteristics, but they
; are of minor importance com
i pared with some other things
! about corn. But it is of paramount
1 importance that we breed up our
| corn so as to produce the great
est possible yield per acre, and
we think this can be more
easily done with a good twc
eared corn-one that will make
' two good large ears on each
I stalk than in any other way,
| and so I will assume that it is a
i good two-eared corn that you
; want. So then you should go
1 into your field and select good
typical or ideal two-eared stalks
for seed, taking into considera
tion the entire stalk and not
just the ears alone. Remember
that the blades or leaves con-
I
stitute the laboratory (so to
sj>eak) in which the plantfood
taken up from the soil is manu
factured into grain-forming ma
' terial, and that a stalk of corn
| cannot make much grain unless
it has a good leaf system. This
leaf system should consist of or
Mn a medium number (14 to 16)
I good long broad leaves, rather
i than a greater number of small
er leaves. For in the latter
! stalks would likely be too high.
The stalk should taper well from
bottom to top, and be provided
with good tassels. The stalk#
; should have two good sized ears,
.and both ears about the same
! size. The ears should not have
too long shucks or stems and
hang over too much. On the other
hand, they should not stick or
stand too straight up the stalk.
There should be no suckers,
smut or disease of any kind
about stalks. Having found
such two-eared stalks aB suit
; you if they are isolated or each
! one stands away from other
good two-eared stalks you would
1 not get best results if you were
;to select them for seed, for the
. offspring of these stalks or the
j next year's crop, concerns you
>as much or more than does the
'appearance of the seed stalks
j you are selecting now. And if
; the seed stalks you select now
