Have Your Seed Tested,

The United States Department of Ag-
riculture, in cooperation with the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture and Elk
pertinent Station, has installed at Co
lumbia Mo-, laboratory for the test
ing of seeds for Missouri farmers This
laboratory will be thoroughly equipped
and it will be possible for the reports
on seed samples sent in to be returned
Immediately. All that is necessary is
for the farmer to send in the sample
with his name attached and Il letter
accompanying it stating whether he
wishes simply quality test made or
whether he wishes both a quality and
termination test. This work will be
free of charge for all farmers and
seedsmen
The farmers of Missouri are vast
ing annually thousands of dollars on
impure seeds and seeds OF low vitality
and the damage from weeds which are
being introduced is scarcely to be over
emphasized. Thus far the farmers
have been almost at the mercy of I'M
scrupulous seed dealers, and it is for
this reason that this laboratory is be-
ing installed. 1t will be possible under
this arrangement for a farmer to write
to seed companies for samples and quo
tations, send these samples to Column
bia for testing and then make an or
der on the result of this examination.
1t is hoped that every Missouri farm
er will take advantage of this oppOr-
tunity to know the character and value
OF the seeds he buys.-Missouri Demo

Exercise Not for Women.


A famous physician of late has been
calmly pointing out to women the fool
ishness of physical exercise as means
of resting the mind. He says emphat-
ically that the old theory is is all non
sense-that the mind cannot rest when
pra ctice of taking long walk at
fast trot when one has done a hard
days work is entirely the wrong thing
to do In his words, 1T adds one
fatigue to another" He does not be-
lieve in strenuous exercise for men
tally overworked people.
Another belief of his will cause more
excitement and discussion than any
other. Women he says, who do not
indulge in physical exercise live longer
than men," He does not think women
need exercise. This is Il daring state
ment to make in the middle of Il gener
alton that is absolutely given over to
the exercise fad. He is not alone in
this belief however. for a number of
women who have gone to rack and ruin
through physical exercise agree with
his theory. Too many women have be-
come useless burdens through over-eX-
ercising for this statement to be en-
tirely denied. The theory that athletics
gave grace to woman has been dis
carded and there is quite good deal of
support given in high quarters to the
new theory that heavy exercise units
a woman for living her life.
The doctor says that plenty of fresh
air day and night and one hours walk
is enough for any woman. Regarding
the subject of the annual vacation for
women the doctor says: Mine out of
ten women feel worse after vacation
than when they started and are unable
to resume work properly. \ woman
does not need a long rest. but Il great
number of short ones. 1t is better to
rest four separate half hours a day
than to go like mad through the week
and rest sixteen hours on Sunday. 1t
is better to divide the twelve months
of work into stated half holidays rath-
err than take two months after ten
months of exhaustion"

her nervous balance. Here they are:
Cultivate sound, health-creating emo

Allow yourself sufficient time in
which to do your work. Hold in re-

your organization.
Do one thing at a time. Prepare
Yourself in good season for sleep. Trust
in the infinite goodness of God, who
loves every creature He has made.
