The 6ifereace in yield between an average of two and of thEes stalks sn eGeh hill through a field. however large or small. is approximately the differ enee between fifty and seTenty-nve bushels per acre. or 90 per cent of the smaller yield Yet in spite of an oo- ject lesson so plain there are tens of thousands of farmers all through the corn belt who are this year complacent- ty huSkfng an average of thirty five or forty bushels per acre who might just as well be getting double or nearly double the yield if they would exercise care i'll the one point of proper se- lection and testing of their seed corn. There Is no more work involved in preparing the ground for and in plant ing good seed than in planting that which Is poor, nor in tilling q good rather than a poor stand of corn; hence the quality of seed used Is responsible to greater degree than any other factor for the miserabty low average yield of eorn reported by crop st>tisticians for the country as whole.

There is no single fact having to do with the past history or present condl- ton of the Russian people that is more expressive of the real situation existing in the czar's domain than that contained in recent consular reports to the effect that the average wheat yield in large portion of the agricultural districts is from but six 10 eight bush els per acre, while in many localities the average is as low as four and five. But bring about in Russia those condi- tiors of government education lanl tenure and agriculture which will en- able her peasant class to produce from twenty-five to thirty-five bushels of wheat per acre and her regeneration as I nation and that of her people will have been effected

These seeds of the latter two varieties, which arS matured in the fall. may be sown any time in the fall before it freezes up or in the spring. In the latter case they should be put in the ground as early as possible. With he soft mapil whose seeds ripen in June. the sowing may be done in the fall, provided ears has been taken in saving the seed which is likely to spoil unless it is thoroughly dry when put away.

them that the law is a benefit

When the rate was reduced TO
three cents the same objections
were urged most st%renuously
but soon after the reduction went

was heard. A two cent fare has
been in force in New York state
