that it is possible to test enough
corn for planting 80 acres in a

every day or two to keep the
sand moist. Ears which are not

detected by the poor termination

The Testing of Seed Corn.

1t is commonly understood
that corn kept in the crib
throughout the winter frequent
Ily loses appreciably in its
strength of termination and that
this is often the cause of small
weak stalks found in our fields.
Many men think that if corn
sprouts and comes up it is
satisfactory, but this is not al
ways the case, neither is it al
ways possible to tell a strong
terminating ear simply by ex-
animation.
When corn is cribbed in large
quantities and fails to dry out
properly before the heavy
freezes of winter come it will be
appreciably injured in germina-
ton. Such an injury is very diff
fcult to detect without a germ
nation test. Experiments have
shown very conclusively that
corn dried out early and kept
dry during the winter will ger
inmate very much more strongly
than corn kept in the crib and
exposed when not thoroughly
dry to heavy freezing. 1t will,
therefore, pay as a rule to test
corn in a germinator in order to
weed out the ears which have

free ipg.

of New York.
There are shows running or
Broadway, says Mr.. Burnham
to which no right-minded man
would take a decent woman.
Any manager will tell you that
if heputs on a coed show he
will starve to death.
The public must want these
shows or they would not battle
about the doors every night to
get seats. The press declares
that a certain show is filthy and
lewd and immoral and the man
ager pats himself on the back.
He knows that is the best adyer-
:isement he could have.
Il tell you that the theater is
not educational. 1t does not
teacha lesson. 1t does not de
liver a sermon. Its mission is
is purely one of entertainment.
! When it presents the story of a
harlot that story is told to enter,
tain those in the audience, not to
elevate their souls and point out
to them the pit dug for unwary
feet. 1t might be of less inn
portance it men only attended
the theaters, as some theaters
should admit men only. But
you can't bar your doors to
women and young girls and
boys.
You viii see young girls with
dresses to their shoe tops press
ing about the doors to get in,
giggling ecstatically as they come
out. We're they elevated morally
by that recital of b~estiality?

The class OF American plays has

There seems to be nothing too
obscene to shock the American

assurance that nothing of an
embarrassing nature will be pre-
sented.
1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Burnham's utterance will mark
a reaction in favor of decency
and that such spectacles as
"Salome' and such plays as
The Deyil"will soon be relegat-

Judge Francis Trimble of the
Circuit Court at Richmond has
declared constitutional the new
law passed at the extra session
of the last legislature prohibit
ing the storing and keeping for,
or delivery for or to any person,
any intoxicating liquors in any
county where prohibition is in
effect under local option. So a
jury fined James Milligan, who
was charged with delivering
liquor as the agent of Kansas
City wholesale firm, $500 and in
addition sentenced him to six
months in the Richmond Jail. 1t
is a great law which enforces
prohibition in prohibition terri

way to prevent thirsty people
from dry territories going TO an
