There is no way to compel a treasurer of a township or mu nicipal corporation to act as treasurer of school funds it he deems the' com pensation fixed by the authorities to be insufficient, according to a ruling given by Attorney General Hogan to the state bureau of inspection of public offices. Likewise, if a township clerk refuses to act as clerk of the township board of education he may not be denied hio office. In both cases officials are directed by law to act. The ruling is made under authority of a supreme court decision, in which it Is held that failure to take and perform ex-officio duties shall not be a bar to service in an office in which the officer has been elected by a vote of the people.

Sustains Denman Opinion. Mr. Hogan holds the proper remedy is prosecution for nonfeasance in office. Clerks of county courts may be paid extra compensation for sorting, arranging and docketing old court papers and documents, according to another holding. Mr.

Hogan rules this is extra work not required by law. Court clerks and deputy sheriffs may act as court constables under the law, according to another ilnding, if there is no conflict in dupes. By another opinion in which former Attorney General Denman is sustained, it is held that embalmers' licenses must be renewed annually, and if allowed to lapse cannot be renewed by paying the back fees.

Ohio Census Report. Columbus. Statistics relative to the leading crops of the state of Ohio, collected at the thirteenth decennial census, April 15, 1910, are contained in an official statement issued by Cen sus Director Durand. It is based on tabular summaries prepared under the direction of Dr.

Le Grand Powers, chief statistician for agriculture in the bureau of the census. The figures are preliminary and subject to slight re vision later, when a few other farms, whose returns, now incomplete, will be included In the final tables. It is not expected that these additions will materially modify the amounts or rates given in the present statement The leading crops of the state for 1909, ranked In the order of valuation, were: Corn, hay and for-age, wheat, oats, potatoes, and tobacco, $8,999,000. Slight Increase in Corn. During the ten years from 1899 to 1909 corn increased 90,037 acres, or 2.4 per Starting with 3,281,923 acres in 1879, corn fell to 3,189,553 in 18S9, rose to 3,826,013 in 1899, and again to 3.916,050 in 1909.

The total yield in 1909 was 157,513,000 bushels; the average wield per acre 40 bushels; the average value per acre, $21. Increase in Hay and Forage. For the decade ending 1909 hay and forage showed an increase of acres, or 9.7 per cent. From acres in 1879. hay and forage increased to 2,992,026 in 1889, to in 1899, and again to 3,306,461 in 1909.

The total yield In 1909 was 4,521,397 tons; the average yield per acre, 1.4 tons; the average value per acre, $12.80. Big Drop in Wheat. Wheat, in the decade from 1899 to 1909, decreased 1.381,142 acres, or 43 per cent. From 2,550,134 acres in 1879, wheat dropped by 1889 to 2,269,585, rose by 1899 to 3,209,074, but again fell by 1909 to 1,827,932. The aggregate yield in 1909 was 30.C63.704 bushels, of which 30,651,880 bushels was winter wheat.

The average yield per acre was 17 bushels; the average value per acre, $17. Large Gain in Oats. Oats, between 1S99 and 1909, in creased 672,347, or 60.3 per cent. From 910,388 acres in 1879, oats rose to 1,215,355 in 1889, fell to 1,115,149 in 1899, and rose again by 1909 to The total yield in 1909 was bushels: the average yield per acre, 32 bushels; the average value per. acre, $13.

Increase in Potatoes. During the decade prior to 1909 potatoes increased 45,218 acres, or 27 per cent. From 1889, when 185,393 acres were harvested, potatoes fell by 1899 to 167,590. and again rose by 1909 to 212,808.

Very Important. Hanging in one of the cars of the agricultural special train, recently run over Ohio railroads by the College of Agriculture, was a placard bearing the words, "Field Selection-)-Proper CareGood Seed The Idea suggested by this wording is that in order to have good seed corn at least two things should be done, the seed ears should be selected early in the fall, preferably from the standing corn, and they should be cared for In such a way as to be thoroughly dried before cold weather comes. The usual way of selecting seed corn is to go to the crib in the spring and pick out the best looking ears. By this cethod one may be able to pick out nice looking corn, but the chances are it will not give satisfac tory results in the field. Even if the germinating power of the crib corn is not injured by improper curing, the large, nice looking ears may not have the reproducing power possessed Ly looking ones.

It has been proven that often the finest look ing ears of corn are likely to be the result of extra favorable conditions in the field; they come from the stalks in hills which contain only one or two plants or are adiacent to missing hills, or have had more than the average amount of sunlight, plant food. etc. So No matter how carefully selected, seed corn may be worthless unless properly cured and stored. particular method of storing does not matter, all that is necessary is that the corn must be thoroughly dried before cold weaiiier comes. New corn contains a large amount of moisture, and if it is allowed to freeze while Ik that condition the germinating power of the kernel is destroyed.

There Is also great danger of corn, containing a great deal of moisture, heating and I Ohio Happenings Tearing his shirt from his back, an Ohio man flagged a train and saved it from a wreck.

Columbus. Secretary of State Graves and Attorney General Hogan, after a conference have decided there was nothing to change in the opinion rendered by the attorney general as to the qualifications of voters at party primaries. This opinion was in line with the ruling of former Secretary of State Thompson that the election judges who have final authority should insist that the voter shall have voted last November for the majority of the state ticket of the party in whose primary he wishes to take part, but it should be a majority of candidates for offices, the selection of which indicates party policy. Attorney General Hogan brushed up enough Latin to discover, as he said, "Affiliation moans filial and filial means affectionate and it doesn't mean voting with knife. A man who votes most of a state ticket, but scratches some candidates on it, indicates clearly with what party he affiliates." 1909 was 20,322,984 bushels; the average yield per acre, 9G bushels; the average value per acre, $44.10.

Rapid Increase in Tobacco. For the decade ending 1909 tobacco showed an increase of 35,055 acres, or 49.1 per cent. Starting with 34,676 acres in 1S79, tobacco rose to 44,303 in 1889. to 71,422 in 1S99, and again to 106,477 in 1909. The aggregate yield in 1909 was 88.603.308 pounds: the average yield in 1909 was 88,603,308 pounds; the average yield per acre, 832 pounds; the average value per acre, 84.50.

Crop Comparisons. The cereals had1 an aggregate of acres in 1903, as compared to 8,214,960 acres in 1899, a decrease of 565,087, or 7.4 per cent, the decrease in the acreage of wheat, together with a small decrease in that of barley, being much more than enough to offset the increases in the other cereals. Among the cereals corn exceeded all others in acreage and value, being equal to more than oneh-alf and nearly three-fifths, respectively, of the total acreage and total value of the cereals. Wheat ranked second, having an acreage and value, respectively, slightly less than one-fourth as great as the total cereals. Oats stood third, equaling more than nine-tenths and about three-fourths the acreage and value, respectively, of wheat.

The average value of cereals per acre in 1909 was $18, being about one and one-half times that of hay and forage, and slightly more than one-fifth that of tobacco. Corn showed the highest average value per acre; rye the lowest. There were a number of miscellaneous crops, and the most of them were well above the more usual crops in value per acre. 1 Takes Blame for Wreck. All blame for the wreck of the Big Four train No.

He gave information practically admitting that the accident was entirely his fault. According to his story. No. 6 lever In the tower which controlled the switch at McKinley avenue was out of adjustment.

This threw No. 7 lever out of working order and made it impossible to throw the switch up snuggly to the main track rail on the tight side. No action will be taken against Eastman by the authorities. He has been dismissed from the railway service. Select Corn as Good or Better Than This.

It is not always the biggest ears of corn that make the best seed. Seed corn should be selected from the standing stalks In the field at about the time of maturity. This will give opportunity of studying the stalk as well as the ear; to choose the plants of proper maturity and, adaptability and to pick ears from hills containing three plants, or in drilled corn from plants where there are no missing stalks on either side. Select the ears that answer all requirements am mark the stalk or ear In some way so that it will be recognized at husking time. Pfrhaps the best way would be to wait until the corn is ready to cut, then cut off the stalks that bear the ears wished for Beed, carry them to the edge of the field and shock them up until dry enough to husk.

It should be remembered that the ears should not be broken from the stalks until the stalks have matured, or the grain will not be ripened properly. I r4 A Good Rack for Drying Seed Corn. molding, especially if plied together so there Is a poor circulation of air. For drying and storing seed corn a room which 'an he provided with a circulation of air and located over a kitchen is an ideal place. The ears should be placed in racks or so suspended from the ceiling that they will not touch each other and will allow a freo circulation of air so they will thoroughly dry before freezing weather.

T. L. WHEELER, College of Agriculture, Ohio State University. EARLY FALL PLOWING IS BEST FOR WHEAT Under our climatic conditions, it frequently happens that the yield of wheat is determined largely by the supply of available soil moisture at seeding time and during October and November. Rains are usually infrequent and uncertain at this time, so that it is necessary to depend upon the water stored in the soil.

The moisture which is stored in the deep layers of soil must rise by capillarity, iu mo seea oea, wnere it ts needed induce the sprouting of the grain and to supply the young plants with noi--ishment. A well pulverized. fnrrnw slice with a thin layer of fine, loose soil over the surface presents conditions that are favorable for the conservation and proper movement of soil moisture. When the furrow slice Is well pulverized and compact It makes a good contact with the subsoil and offers conditions favorable for the rise of the moisture from below. The fine, loose layer at the surface is favorable to the development of the young jb.it roots, readily absorbs the light rains, and help- to prevent tho escape of moisture by evaporation at the surface.

The Ideal seed bed' can be obtained with expenditure of the least amount of time and energy by practicing early fall plowing. If plowing is delayed until the ground is hard and dry, it is practically impossible to reduce and thoroughly pulverize the clods that are sure to bo turned up by the plow. Repeated rolling and harrowing may reduce the immediate surface to a fine, mellow condition, but telow this layer the clods will persist and the moisture supply from below will be cut off, since the water can not rise by capillarity through the large spaces between the clods. We also find that the mois ture supply is sometimes cut off from below by the plowing under of a thick layer of manure or a heavy cover crop. To secure an ideal seed bed, plow early and follow closely with the roller and harrow.

It is good practice to roll and harrow, each morning, the land plowed the day before. The disking of stubble land before plowing is frequently a decided help in the preparation of ground for wheat. A cjommon rotation in Ohio requires that corn ground should be seeded to wheat The best results are obtained by plowing and fitting the ground, if the soil is heavy and compact, but if light and open it may be prepared by thoroughly disking and harrowing.

And after doing all these things, To make success more sure, I'll try my very best to keep From wasting the manure.

PROFESSOR ALFRED VIVIAN, College of Agriculture, Ohio State University. TREES FOR WINDBREAKS.

G. J. of Marion county, asks: "What is the best tree for planting in Ohio for windbreaks?" Ohio was at one time covered with hard woods and there were very few evergreens found here, yet in later years it has been found that many of ths coniferous evergreens will grow well in this state, if they have the water supply they need during tho summer. Where there is a sufficient water supply, arbor vitae and cedars will do well and there is no question about these trees being among the best for windbreaks for all year around use. As a rule the hardwoods are of use only in the summer and when the windVeak is most needed in winter, they furnish but little protection.

Any hardwoods that can be planted closely together will make some kind of a windbreak for summer use. C. H. GOETZ, College of Agriculture, Ohio State Uni-versity. Give the.
