DO CORN TESTS PAY?
Will it be Profitable to Test Each Ear
of Seed Corn Before Planting?

The seed corn which is intended for
planting this year is in very bad con-
dition. This is the opinion of
large number of men who have ex-
amined and judged thousands of
samples of seed corn at the Farmers
Institute and corn shows held in all
parts of the state this winter.
Almost without exception. one
fourth to three fourths of the seed
brought in for exhibition show plainly
that the germs are dead or in very
weak condition. These samples pro-
badly represent quite truly the seed
which the owners intend to plant this
spring. If the seed is only one fourth
to threefourths strong, will it not be
profitable to test each ear and discard
the bad and weak ones?
The late frosts and rains in many
parts of the state last fall prolonged
the growing period and kept the corn
from drying out. When the hard Oc-
tober and November breezes came
there was still large amount of
moisture in the corn. The germs of
the corn which froze with this moist
ure in them were killed or weakened.
consequently large portion of the
corn was husked for cribbing was
already killed.
The condition is especially bad in
Northern Iowa. but is very unsatis-
factory in other parts of the state and
in other states in the corn belt.
Now. not next May and June when
the corn is being replanted, is the
time to think about this.
Now during March while we have
the time is the time to test our seec
corn.
Farmers are most strongly urged
to test six kernels from every eal
which they intend to plant next
spring. This will take about three
days for the average farmer. 1t will
cost him nothing. He cannot hurt
his corn by testing it. 1t will bring
him "stand of corn''
One ear will plant three hundred
hills. A bad ear thrown out replaced
by good one will prevent there be-
ing three hundred missing hills ir
I The next summer.
If seed must be bought it should be
purchased in the ear as near home as
possible. 1t it has not been tested
before being sold the purchaser viii
do we'll to test each ear and discard
! all showing weak or bad termination.
No one can afford to be careless
about the seed he plants.
The seed this year is very bad. but
if every farmer will test six kernels
from each ear of his seed. he has il
within his power to plant seed which
will grow strong.

ensy TO understand that so much OF the

| behind locked doors. simply to he raul
fed in open session
There can be no denying the fact that
the finances Of the city have been ter
rlbly depleted. 1t Is known to GER
tainty that inroads have been made
ON the various funds early in the year
to such an extent that the more shrewd
ones have become startled. They rea-
lie that there must be reckoning in
the near future and that they must
render an accounting OF their steward
ship. But It has apparently resolved
itself into a matter OF tiding over diff
hculties that they dare not discuss in
regular session. SO, shaded lantern and
barred entrance councils, with report
ers kept far In the background, have he
come occurrences to be looked for rath-
or than exceptions Is 1t because their
deeds VIII not stand the light Of day. or
because they prefer the dark and de-
vious WY OF doing things?
Two or three weeks ago the chief or
gan Of the Knockers crowd gave ind-
cations OF pronounced dspleasure at
the manner IN which the city's affairs
were being conducted. More than that,
II nayed two or three officials roundly
for their alleged neglect Of duty, which
1t is understood also included a refu-
sal to dance to the organs music. The
latter set W a lusty howl and COM
menced a vigorous beating of its bat
tered tom toms and soon the whole
horde OF incompetents like Mr.. Raleigh,

fame, fell into line and executed an
admnist ration two-step, IA under their
breath they cursed the whole bust
ness" Then harder cracked the whip
and more tractable became the lieutep-
ants of the party, and into the secret
gatherings were admitted the editors
and publishers of the main organ. What
the latter concluded was proper to print
was printed; what 1t put it's disapprov-
al upon was effeetually censored. The
information that went to the other
newspapers of the city was just what
the arrogant leaders were willing to let

THE LIFE OF MAN.

Ancient Seers spoke of time when.
the days OF tree are the days OF
my people, and "tha child shall die
an hundred years old" Such express
sions seem to predict the restoration OF
the conditions under which mankind
In the first age OF its existence attained
marvellous longevity.
Science has recently paid attention
10 the question OF the prolongation OF
youth. and II seems to have given rise
TO quite "A discussion.
1t Is recognized that the process of
decline commences with the very be-
ginning Of existence. A newt born
child II is pointed out. increases in
weight the first month about 70 per
cent, but by the end OF the year this
rate of Increase has fallen consider
ably. by the seventh or eighth year
II has fallen 70 ten per cent. AZ TWEEN
~ II has dropped to one per cent more
or less, and In few years more II
practically ceases altogether. what, "
II is asked. is the cause of the de-
cline2" Increasing difficulty of nutrl-
ton Is not sufficient answer.
II has been demonstrated by what
seems to be cruel experiments upon ami
mails, that prolonged muscular activity
products a poison that causes death.
When this poison, which the Germans
can "ErmuedungstoNln," is injected in
to animals, II produces the same effects
as overwork. II IS also claimed that
very little OF this toxin injected into
the veins Of animals render them cap
able OF more prolonged exertIon than
without f. And these experiments
and deductions lead 10 the surmlse that
some serum may be found which VIII
re-enforco the aging cells and stlmu-
late them 10 renewed youth.
This is as far as research has gone
on this road. Tho knowledge acquired
regarding serums, body destroyers and
body builders, can hardly fail to prove
a powerful engine for further advance
The progress realized IN the past thir,
~ or forty years. Is nothing short OF
marvellous. and Il VIII not stop short

SOME IMMIGRANTS.

Last years immigration figures,
which are record breaking, have sug-
gested the observation that the source
OF supply is different from what it used
to he. 1t IL not from Germany and the
Scandinavian countries that the great
increase is obtained but from Italy,
Russia. Greece. and Turkey. And 1t
Is also pointed out that the immigra-
ton from these countries is not entire
~ natural It is stimulated by agents
of transportation companies securing
the countries for passengers" This is,
Of course, nothing new. But IL a REM
edy for undesirable immigration is
wanted 1t must be found in some prac-
teal measure directed against the trait
fic of the immigration agents and their
deputies who search every nook and
corner of the district allotted to them
for man or woman willing to emil
CRATE We would suppose that IL the
American consuls abroad We're charged
with the duty of looking after the inn
migration from their ports of embark
alton. II would be more difficult for
agents to pass their human freight to
the ships,
A notable feature of the immigra ton
is the number of Syrians and Arme-
MANS which form part of it. a gain
of 5,l6S over the previous year OF this
class is reported The Sultan's sub
jects commenced coming here In 1876.
They have increased every year, not
withstanding the difficulties of leaving
Turkey. Syrians are scattered through
out the country. Besides the settle
ment of a few thousands in New York.
there are fairly large colonies in Chi
cago, Cleveland. Fall River. Worcester,
Lawrence and other cities. How many
there are in all is not known. but they
are estimated at tens of thousands.
The number of Armenlans is also in
creasing.

UTAH STATE CAPITOL.

enough To be handsomely and gcner-
ously treated by her citizens ls uni

this is the view Of most of the mem
bers of the Legislature.
Governor cutler has already gone
on record in relation TO this much
needed Improvement, and It is UNDER
stood he Will deal extensively and
earnestly with the subject in his mes
sage to the Legislature, To the Des-
orct News he has stated that he is
more than anxious 10 have that body

Here ere his exact words;

If thlslLegislatu re. and zach succeed

In the immediate future, and one of
the most serious needs of the state

envy of all neighbors. with schools the
admiration OF tho world; with social
conditions the most favorable. with
churches innumerable pointing their
spires heavenward: with farms and
factories and hocks and herds, and
mines and mills pouring forth their
wealth, the future glory of Utah Il
assured. Now let that glory be

In one year; but It can be commenced,

ALONG CROOKED LINES.

Engineering feats as shown in sra-
dents. curves and public improve
nents of various kinds Is the pride OF
every modern city. There have
been times when salt Lake was
proud OF its display in this direction
But II wasn't in all Of the work done W
1906 and It probably VIII not be In al
that OF 1901 Last year much of It was
along lines that were mystifying ana
OBVIOUSLY crooked, when the science OF
engineering, 10 say nothing Of common
sense and clear eye-sght demanded
that they be straight.
Perhaps MIR. Kelsey can tell some OF
his constituents on the northeast heneh
why the sidewalks on one block are

next along an entirely different survey,
With those farther on out Of joint Win
all others. Thus far Il Is conundrum
they have not been able to solve
But it should not be surprising
II things did not go straight
while the work was under way.
II isn't an altogether easy task
for a man to serve two or more mas
ters at the same time; and 1t appears
that is Just what Mr. Kelsey did do
While in the pay of Salt Lake city he
was in other states attending TO public
improvements there. What lines he fol-
lowed In them Salt Lake has not yet
learned. Perhaps, they being away
from home, are all right Nj. Kelsey
might be kind enough to inform the city
council and hoard OF public works as
TO that: for IL what he does Is accept
able elsewhere, It might he that he
could be induced to become Just as
efficient in his home endeavors. In any
event it would be interesting to see
him make the attempt or course, IT
might Inconvenience him and even take
all the time Salt Lake pays him for,
but 1t is worth a trial all the same.

Luxuries beyond the reach OF kings
centuries ago. arc almost necessities Of
life now. As a consequence, II costs
more TO keep family. Better food,
more expensive clothes. a more pre-
tentlous education are demanded by
the times. Homes cost more than for
merry. More knowledge and more capt
tai are needed TO establish any kind Of
business. When to these facts Is add
ed another serious fact, that competi-
ton Is rendered impossible In many
lines OF Industrial activity by the trusts
that have succeeded IN creating OPP
presslve monopolies, and that the COM
petition. consequently, IN the lines That
are still open, has become a crush In
which the stronger are trampllng down

situation that accounts for much OF
