Unveil Statue of lola.

Paris, Jan. 3.-Accompanied by
great popular demonstration, the
tenth anniversary of the appearance
of Zola's famous letter, "J'Accuse,'
in which he began vigorous liter
airy warfare in behalf of the disgrace
ed Dreyfus, was celebrated today by
the unwilling and dedication of a
magnificent monument to the great
novelist The statue occupies prom
inent place in the Place Dauphine,
where thousands of people gathered
today to honor the memory of the
man who was once outlawed be-
cause he had dared advocate justice
in the face of antipathy of the Off
Gals and the mob. The reading of
the noted letter was a feature of the
unwilling exercises, and at each
ringing "J'Accuse" the crowd evil
denced its appreciation by wild
shouts of applause.

SEED WHEAT.
Grade Generally Used Not Up to the
Standard.

Grade Generally Used Not Up TO the
Standard.
That the grade of seed wheat gen.
orally used is not up to the standard
was ascertained I'm an investigation by
G.. w Shaw of the California station,
who secured large number OF sam
pies of seed wheat over a wide area In
the Sacramento and San Joaquin val
feys Of California to determine the
general character Of the seed used by
the farmers OF the state. In general
the samples showed that the quality
of seed used by most farmers Is lack
ing In purity, perfection Of develop
ment, weight per bushel, freedom from
weeds and freedom from hunt. 1t is
stated that practically all investiga-
tors have found the use OF large,
plump seed and of high weight per
bushel the most profitable. No perma-
nent benefit Is believed to be secured
from the frequent exchange Of seed
unless A better type of wheat or a
more vigorous strain Of the same type
Is obtained by the exchange The use
of seed from heavy yielding plants, a
plump and heavy grain, a clean wheat
and q pure variety are considered by
him the most important points In seed
selection
In this connection the results secur-
ed by Z. g. Montgomery of the Ne
braska station in an experiment with
seed wheat and seed oats selected by
the use of the tanning mill are OF in
terest. In these experiments heavy
seed wheat as separated by the fan
ming mill did not show an improve
ment in either yield or quality Of grain
as compared with light or unseparated
seed, and it is believed that no perma-
is to be expected from the use of the
tanning mill in seed selection.
AT first thought it would seem that
II like produces like" the large or
heavy seeds should produce the best
crop However, we must recognize the
individual plant as unit for selection
rather than the individual seed. If a
single plant of wheat be taken and the
kernels thrashed out 1t will be found
that all sizes of kernels are produced
by the plant, some large and some
small
AS every wheat plant contains both
heavy and light seed, the tanning mill
gives almost the same kind Of wheat.
so far as inheritance is concerned, in
the light wheat as in the heavy. 1t
must be remembered that reference is
made here to the permanent results
which may be expected from the use
of the tanning mill and that it's use or
the use Of screens for removing OBJ
noxious weed seed is in no way discour-
aged.

Flowing For Grape Leaf Hopper.


Flowing Is sometimes done by Cali
fornia vineyardists during the winter
season for the purpose OF destroying
the grape leaf hoppers. This Is partly
based upon the superstition that the
eggs may be In the leaves or in the
ground or that the adult hoppers are In
some way killed in the operation. So
far as having direct effect In de-
stroying the hoppers is concerned
blowing Is OF little avail. The only
ones that viii be killed are few that
may not be disturbed from their rest
Ing places among the leaves or other
wise accidentally buried by the pillow.
During the cold or rainy days there
may be few thus turned under, but
ordinarily they are active enough to
escape readily before the pillow.
Flowing, however, may have an in
direct effect ON the hoppers by depriv-
Ing them Of food or Of suitable shelter
Ing places during unfavorable weather
conditions, and II this practice Is gen.
orally carried out In a neighborhood
1t will no doubt result In reducing
the numbers somewhat. However, a
field may be free from hoppers during
the winter. but this Is not necessarily
an indication of freedom from spring
infestation. The insects are more gem
orally distributed In the winter sea-
son, but the bulk Of them will usually
be found In the vineyard or on the
vegetation of the borders Immediately

ably good crops. This does not mean,
however, that the stand might not
have been made better and the crop
larger had these same farmers given
more care to the selection, storing and
treatment of their seed corn.
The condition of corn in the spring
of 1908 that had stood during the win
ter in shock or crib emphasizes in a
striking way the risks that are run In
using seed that has not been properly
saved OF large number of ears test
ed at the Michigan Agricultural col
lege for vitality those selected from
the shock invariably produced an ex-
ceedingly low number of examinations.
More than so per cent of the ears pro-
duced no termination whatever, and
of those that did show vitality 1t was
rare that 100 per cent Of the kernels
terminated. The conditions under
which corn passed the winter were ex-
ceedingly bad, but even with the best
conditions there are influences, such as
freezing, molding and the like. which
OF necessity tend to reduce the vitality
of the corn

The stalk should be of good size, with

opinion OF the college experimenters
that increased yields are secured by
the judicious selection Of seed from
stalks bearing two ears. The ideal ear
should be cylindrical, not tapering. Elk
perience teaches that rough top kernels
are best.
The selected ears should be placed
where they will dry In the shortest
reasonable time. and various methods
have been employed for this purpose.
There is no better method from the
standpoint of efficiency than the old
one of braiding the ears together by
the husks left upon them or tying
them In lots by strings and hanging In
the summer kitchen or in the attic

THE FARMERS BOY.
In Many Instances He Has Mistaken

In Many Instances He Has Mistaken
Idea Of City Life.
The great trouble with country boys
Is that they are not aware of the cir
cumstances under which the city boy
is compelled TO live and work If he has
to earn his living by the sweat Of his
brow. The idea held up to the country
boy is to go to town and get nice,
easy, soft snap such as So-and-so has
How many of them do 1t? Not one In
thousand. Far more go there to find
work in some close, stagnant mill. to
sweat amid the fumes of steam or to-
bacco smoke, or perhaps in some iron
mill or foundry, surrounded by the
curses OF their fellow men, toll out
weary day OF eleven or thirteen hours
and after the day Is over go home
and to such home! Up some little
back street In a bandbox built Of brick
and named a house more than likely
our workman has his home, there to
pass away the weary hours Of the
night amid the heat and stagnation OF
probably filthy street only a few feet
wide, hot, close and dirty. In any
large city on some sultry night one
may see the workmen and their fami-
lies In these little narrow city streets
stretched about the steps and pave
ments In all conditions. These are not
slums either, but fairly respectable
neighborhoods.
To such a condition Of life many
Of our country boys have gone, and
many more are today preparing to
go. Fat pay and big pay enyel-
opes? Not in these times. If our city
laborer averages S12 week he Is a
lucky man. Tens of thousands get less
rather than more Country boy, before
you make the change. in the name of
that country you have been taught TO
hold In reverence, look and do not
leap! II you understand farming there
are just as many chances on the land
to be worked out as there are in the
city.
This is great country. and If
you do not like the kind of farming
you are working at there are many
others. IL you belong to a family that
follows the grind, grind system Of all
work and no play, when you reach
your majority and start for yourself
follow out an easier system. Do not
condemn country life just because you
have been unfortunate enough to be
brought up In the home of man who
knows nothing but grind. Do not over
look the fact that II such a man was
your boss In the city he would grind
your life away. Long. long before you
were twenty-one years old you would
be occupying some six feet of green
turf, where at last you would not hear
the dreaded call and curse of the boss
Country life may not be and probably
Is not what many would like to color
1t; but, all things being equal. 1t is far
preferable to city life. That is just
where 1t comes In. City life is never
compared with country life on an
equal plane. Remember that If you
must work In the country for living
you will have to work In the city for
one, too, and IL you possess the ability
In yourself to rise above the ordinary
workman in the city that same ability
will carve ont home for you in the
country. Look before you leap. con-

you can better yourself in the city go;
