RESULT OF WILKINS TOBACCO SIZED rEsr.

EDITOR CENSOR: According to prom
Use, | respectfully. report as follows:
From March % to April /, 1907, (ten
days. test of packages of University of
Wisconsin experiment station tobacco
seed was made. No | of 1905, No. 2,
No. 3 and No. of 1906 crops, Of one
hundred seeds from each package, be-
tween moist blotting paper tempera-
ture 20 to 80, with following results:
Package No. l, SO per cent. sprouted
of 1906 crop.
Package No. 2, "a per cent. sprouted
of 1906 crop.
Package No. 3. SIS per cent. sprouted
of 1906 crop.
Package No. A, rs per cent. sprouted
of 1906 crop.
Average 81 per cent. sprouted seed.
Note Bulletin No. 81, United States
Department of Agriculture, pages .
and 6, in this connection. states as fol-
lows: Tobacco seeds are exceedingly
small and an ounce of them contains
from 300, 900 to 400, coo seeds. A large
percentage of these, however, will not
sprout. Some of them are not fertile,
and others have very hard coating
too resistant to moisture. After care
full experiments it is pretty well estab-
lished that not more than rs per cent.
of the most carefully grown tobacco
seed will terminate, while very much
less than this will, under ordinary cir
cumstances, be available for planting.
Allowing, however, for the imperfec
tons in the seed, and for the too deep
and too shallow planting and for loss by
accident, there ought to be at least &c.,
900 seeds or plants from an ounce of
fresh tobacco seed.

A Letter 10 Mr.. A. L. Perkins.

Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes
and nails; your grandfather, if he was
a blacksmith, made 'em. You can t
afford to hammer them out by hand,
when you can buy as good, or better
perhaps, readymade to your hand, for
a little more than the cost of the iron.
What do you think of painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and white
lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand,
and charging his time for work that is
far better-done than he can do it, done
by machinery, done as your horseshoes
and nails are made.
Mistake isn't it?
He is wasting his chance in the world.
There is no better stuff to do business
with than good horseshoes and paint;
and no better work than putting them
on. Good horseshoes well put on: It's
the putting 'em on that makes you a
blacksmith; no matter who makes 'em.
Who wants TO 20 back to old times,
and make his own horseshoes?
Between us two, that painter don t
know how to make good paint-he used
to; but paint has run away from him.
Yours truly
