this winter the mercury dropped to 30

Every grower of corn will cOncede
without argument the vital need of
planting good seed for the self evident
reason that defective seed means a
poor stand, and poor stand inevita-
bly, means a poor crop, no matter how
well cared for, corn differing from the
smaller cereal grains in this-that the
stand Is wholly dependent upon all
the seed growing, while in the case of
wheat oats, rye and the like, even If
one-half of the seed failed to grow, ma
ture in a compensating way would
cause the scattering plants to wonder
fully stool out and thus furnish a
hundredfold increase from single
seed But with corn 1t is different,
but one stalk coming from one seed
save with the little Dwarf Yankee and
sweet corn varieties, and thus 1t fol-
lows that man largely settles the
yield of his corn crop when he selects
his seed. There is an unusual interest
being taken now in this matter-so
pending at great expense all over their
lines corps of instructors and experts
20 show the average farmer how he
may test his corn and absolutely know
that the seed he plants will grow. Dur
Tag the year 1904 the state of Iowa
raised 323,000,000 bushels of corn on
whst was proved to be a two-thirds
stead Of corn owing to the poor quality
81 the seed used. While it would not be
fair to say that the state would have
produced 107, 100000 bushels more corn
hna good seed been used. it Is fair to
say that the crop would have been in
creased by several million bushels had
good seed been used.

The farm has to support an army of
toll takers, beginning with the day the
seed is dropped into the soil until the
last of the years products are sold,
crows. blackbirds, gophers, cutworms,
wireworms, taking large toll of the
sprouting grain; blight, rust, grasShop-
pers and birds tolling the maturing
crop, with rats, mice and weevils levy
ing tribute on the garnered crop and
the several trusts and combines taking
a final swipe at it when sent to mar
ket. No wonder so many farmers in
summing up the years work find that
they have worked for so cents day
and boarded themselves at that. Good
farming-the new kind that is COM
ing-largely means looking after this
army of toll takers.

A man had 100 acre farm left him
from membranes. Since then he has
been doing what so many do-been
raising grain and selling it from year
to year until his soil has become worn
and unproductive. In order to get
along he had mortgaged the farm for
all the money it would carry as Sc
curity. A year ago he moved to town
and rented the farm to tenant for
So per acre. This tenant put sixteen
good cows on the farm and easily paid
not only his rent, but obtained from
the farm a good living. If he stays
there for five years he will be in good
shape to buy the farm.

The southern cotton growers keep
holding meetings, resolving to reduce
the acreage of cotton for the coming
season, with the hope that such action
will raise the price. The south needs
nothing SO badly as to learn some way
to diversity its agriculture, the people
at present being seemingly unable to
devise any way to use negro, mule
and a rope harness save by putting
the outfit to work to raise half bale
Of cotton TO the acre and quite often
much less. The worst of it is that this
continuous raising of cotton is robbing
the soil of all its fertility, and nature
will Indignantly shut off the cotton
business in few years if the people
will not sensibly learn better way.

north in the early days with the rails

The present high prices for mutton

fioclzs have 10 be sacrificed at dollar or
two head, as has so often happened

all right; just like any other domestic

business is just when every other fell
low is trying as hard as he can to get

with a very few and build up your own

care for sheep anyhow-not over one in
ten. If you have a level low farm
don't keep sheep at all; If you have a

SWAYNE IN THE SWIM
Possibility That the House rsay Apply ihe
paternaI Slipper.

The determination of the House
of Representatives to bring Judge
Charles Swayne, of the Northern
District of Florida, to trial is most
creditable to that body. Acting,
as it does, in grand jury capac-
ity, it is difficult to see how, in the
face Of such serious charges against
Judge Swayne, the House could
have done otherwise; but there
was always the possibility Of the
injection of politics into the case,
and had this been done the result
might have been different. Judge
Swayne, however, is far from a
conviction. The House has had
very poor success in it's impeach.
ment trials. 1t requires three.
fourths vote of the Senate to con.
vict, and this fact may result in
an acquittal in this case, although
it seems that Judge Swayne is
very incompetent and unfair judge.
