The third district remains about the «*me, and from present Indications It looks as if some of the young ladles were going to receive the Forum prizes with very little effort on the part of the contestants now entered from this district. In the fourth district Miss Elizabeth Hendry of Grand Forks again takes ftrst place. In the fifth district Miss Allena McLean of Argusville takes first place with 14,009 votes Miss Maud McOee of Hunter holds second place. The president of the United States Will open the exposition, and it Is quite lit dignified harmony with the central idea referred to that a personage so highly placed should discharge this function. The birth of our liberties Was observed at Philadelphia fn 1876. The discovery of this continent was recalled by the Chicago Exposition of 1894. The acquisition of an Important section of territory was the commem oration at St. Louis in 1904. The ex position to be held from April until December, exclusive, of next year, near Norfolk, Va., is in commemoration of the foundation of our American life as we live It, enjoy it and propagate it (Li the present day. Surely this is a jiWper-excellent idea, extending farth er and embracing more than anycele fetation hitherto held. It is the con centration in a unit of the radiating Wtives of life that sprung fro mit, and Which have been deemed worthy of & special remembrance. In its apparent insignificance, because of the few JlOmeseekers who make up the party It held the possibilities of world-wide sifcniflcancey in law, politics, govern ment, social polity and Industrial ac tivity. What It embraced regarding the international relations of the fu ture is now a recognized fact the world over. It is the right thing, therefore, that the president of the United States should open the exposition which will stamp on history for all time the im portance to the world of the Idea planted at JameRtown. ,. The exposition grounds cover an area of about 500 acres fronttng, oa, thft shores of Hampton Roads with two government piers extending far out l»to the water. The site is on Sew ell's Point, within^ twenty ininiue^ tide of Ndtftolf *P©rt8motftKBerkley, Newport News, Hampton and Old Point Comfort, reached either by trol ley or steamer. Beautiful boulevard drives add to Its easy access by ve hicles and automobiles.

V ^»,.•* i Nature has been lavish in beautify ing the site, rendering it the most at tractive spot upon which a similar un dertaking has ever been held. The grounds are equipped with a complete system of sewerage, electric light, power, gas, etc., while their natural beauty is being enhanced by an elab orate scheme of landscape decoration. An original and novel feature is the floral fence which encloses the grounds, giving the whole site the ap pearance of a beautiful private park. It is constructed of wire mesh, barbed and covered with vines systematically planted so as to make an impene trable barrier of beautiful foliage. The vines were planted in May, 1905, and as they are native to the south ern climate they are already densely grown. At each post has been planted a trumpet vine and between each post a crimson ramblep rose bush. Be tween the trumpet vine and rose bushes, honeysuckle has been train ed so that the entire fence will be covered with a fragrant mass of flow ering beauty. A winding trail through the.exposi tion grounds Is called "Lover's Lane," or "Flirtation Walk." It passes through shady and pretty groves. Near this inviting trail runs a. waterway, called the "Canoe Trail," where small boats may sail or steam into the grounds from Boush Creek bay. A million pretty flowers and shrubs scat tered over the grounds will furnish beauty and fragrance and inspire ro mantic sentiment. Most of the buildings of the exposi tion will :be of permanent construc tion and in architecture will be typi cal of the colonial period. Among those under constructioft and those al ready completed are the Auditorium and Convention hall, palaces of history and historic art, palace of manufac tures and liberal arts, and of machin ery and transportation the buildings to house the exhibits of mines and metalurgy. Agriculture and horticul ture, marine appliances, the arts and crafts village and the government buildings, together with the grand piers that are also being erected by the government and that are to extend out into the waters of Hampton roads for more than 1,000 yards. Work on the states buildings is progressing rapidly and most of them will be com pleted in the early part of 1907. The#e beautiful grounds and perma nent buildings, situated on the shores of Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, ate destined to create an exposition su perior 4hpl. apart from previous cele brationis of Its kind, In this that it will retrain and become a monument to the historic event that it is to rommeHjorate, also to the "Old Do ,minion," while the others have been torn down and forgotten. .3 -is. a.'

A sour stomach, a bad breath, a pasty complexion and other conse quences of a disordered digestion •qgfpgywf "1 (Continued from Page Nine.) deal of progress has been made but probably as much as could be made in this length of time by those under taking It. Varietal characteristics, as they are understood in other states, are being obliterated by this corn breeding and every one that Is breed ing corn has taken up some corn that has been grown in the state for sev eral years and in most cases Is a cross of several varieties. In this process each breeder is developing a corn strictly his own and where handled in any way will have to be known simply as his name as "Will Smith's Yellow Dent," etc. The systems of breeding being followed are to a great exteht, modifications of those advocated by agronomists in Illinois. Indiana and Iowa however faulty some of these systems may be. "Everything Is done that can be done to encourage the farmer to test his seed corn on the ear or to purchase seed so tested, if possible. More farmers are doing it every year but the progress made seems to be very slow. The general complaint is made that a farmer cannot spend time at the right season of the year to test his seed corn, but this same farmer will spend days and weeks cultivat inga corn field with only half a stand not seeming to realize that he Is culti- vatlng almost twice the ground that he ought to be cultivating for the same amount of corn and wasting from fifty to one hundred times the labor that it would take to test a few bushels of seed corn. It may be true that the farmer himself cannot And time to make the test but If this is true he should see that a test is made for him by some one else for he can afford to pay from $5 to $20 per bushel for tested Corn rather than plant that not tested. We are coming more and more each year to realize the factors that enter into the produc tion of a large crop of corn and one of the greatest of these and which is being emphasized more and more each year, is the securing of the per fect stand. In order to secure a per fect stand a good germination In the field is necessary. This is not always coincident with germination In a testing box. A testing box is valuable and should be used but there are (ibuses to which it may be put. The mere fttct that corn will germinate in a tester is not evidence that It will germinate In a field, and one of the most important things to look to in the germination test is to see that the germination is strong. That is, it should be watched for several days to see that a strong stand results. There is a tendency in the northern districts of the state to grow corn patterned after southern models. This corn, even though It may seem to mature, will usually show up a very much lower generatloh than that type famil iarly adapted to the northern district. For example, in Yellow Dent corn It Is imperative that we accept for the north a somewhat more flinty, rounder and shallower kernal than is grown south. In corn breeding this should be looked to carefully to get the best yielding qualities in connec tion with those qualities shown in tiie corn peculiar to the northern dis trict. With such com as this It is comparatively easy to secure a good stand, providing the proper attention is given to growing and testing the ears. But with the southern types, even with all this attention, some dif ficulty is likely to be experienced. "The best way to get evidence on these points is to make ear-row tests and note what types of ears show the best germination in the germination box and then also note which give the best stand in the field. We have very little evidence along this line but such as it is it seems to point to the facts that I have just noted." At the close of the formal |ro iramine Secretary J. A. Johnson made his annual report and in this connec tion an incident. occurred which oc casioned the first ripple on the other wise perfect placid waters of the .con vention. Mr. Johnson made his report of the expenditures at last year's meeting stating that the total had been in the neighborhood of $1,200, i v HelP are quickly removed by the use of Ring^ Dyspepsia Tablets.

The entire amount is raised by subscription without taxing tltd members a single cent. After making his report Mr. John son said that he desired to be relieved of the work and responsibility con nected with the duties as secretary of the organization and must positIveljr decline to serve another year. He fol lowed this with a statement to the ef fect that during the past few months he had been misrepresented by cer tain parties who had stated that he was using his position for the benefit of the old line elevator companies which was not true. Although Mr. Johnson had tloned no names O. G. Major of vice president of the Independi Shippers association an once sprang tj) his feet. "I demand a square deal and I wattt to be heard," said Mr. Major. "You shall be heard," said PrejijR dent Worst. "I want It distinctly understood^ said Mr. Major, "that I did no't ac cuse either President Worst or Sec retary Johnson of being controlled tty the old line elevator Interests. What I did say was that the old line ele vators contributed largely to the sup port of the association and I'll stand by that statement. I defy anyone to disprove It. "Further, I have been trying for a number of years to secure a place oil the programme of this convention for the independent elevator men. lAkt year I succeeded and I did not "Uip pose it would be necessary to make a special application every year. When we grain shippers held our meeting here In December a committee was appointed to communicate with Presi dent Worst and Mayor Johnson and arrange for a place on the programme and the request of that committee wA turned down." sndflnt President Worst here arose an\i poured oil on the troubled waters. Ife characterized Mr. Major's statement as a fair one, "It lst true," he said, "that the o# line elevator men do contribute to tlie support of this convention, but they have not the slightest Influence in Ws management, and the fact that th«Sy ^•.itribute has nothing to do with otjr refusal to grant the request of the'in dependent elevator men. "As It was presented to me this re quest was that they be given a quar ter or a half day of the convention^ time. This convention Is educational in its purpose and 1 will never corf sent to its being used as a medium for the exploiting of a business enter prise In that manner though I am per fectly willing that one of the elevatcp* men should have a place on the pro gramme to speak in the Interests dt his organization."
