well covered. In the spring. before
planting time. every ear should be
tested, especially when there is any
doubt as to its vitality. We have box
fixed for this purpose; it is four feet
long by three feet wide by six inches
deep. We have bored holes through
the sides two inches from the bottom
and 21a inches apart; through these
holes we have stretched fine wire,
both lengthways and crossways, thus
dividing the box into 21a inch squares.
At one end these rows of squares are
numbered; along one side the squares
in each row are numbered. When
ready to test the corn, we get enough
moist. rich dirt to fill the box up even
with the wire; next we number the
ears to be tested. For example, the
first ear Is marked ear one, row one !:
the next, ear two. row one. When we
have enough for the first row. the
first ear in the second row is marked
ear one, roy two, and SO on. When
tie ears are all numbered. take four
or Eve grains from different parts of
each ear and plant them in the square
with the corresponding number. In
this box we can test about 275 ears at
one time. OF course, the box can be
larger or smaller. as the case may de,
mand.
The Elbert County tribune., 1909-06-04

In obtaining seed corn from places
at distance 1t is always best to Sc
cure 1t in the ear, because in this
form it can be picked over, judged
and all ears that are not suited for
planting may be thrown aside, while
If it is shelled no such selection can
be made.
The selection of seed corn by the
farmer from his own crop is generally
accomplished in one of three ways:
First, by picking out the seed after
the corn has been cribbed second, by
selecting the best ears while gather
ing, and third, by going into the field
before harvesting time and selecting
the most desirable ears. OF these
three ways my experience has shown
" last to be the best, because a bet
tF selection can be made when that
is the only aim in view and when the
entire plant, and not simply the ear.
can be considered. Whatever the
method, more seed than is really need
ed should be selected. in order that
a second wedding out" of the poor
est ears just before planting may still
leave enough good seed.
On our farm we have tried still
another method for obtaining the best
seed corn-namely, to grow it in a
special plot of ground We used the
following method: Take any number
of selected ears-say 55. for example
and plant them in so separate
parallel rows. one ear to the row.
This makes 1t necessary for the plot
of ground to be at least SO corn rows
wide, and it should be long enough for
the planting of about two-thirds of an
ear in each row. If possible, this
ground should be as far removed from
other fields of corn as can be, to pre-
vent outside pollination. To further
protect from foreign pollen we have
found it good plan to take the re-
naming one-third of the selected corn
and use 1t to plant a border around
the breeding plot. Before the pollen
natures every alternate row is detas-
seled, to prevent self or close pollina-

Dry Potatoes for Food.-According
to the Magdeburgische Zeitung, Consul
Frank s. Hannah says that the recent
experiments in the drying of potatoes
under the auspices of the imperial in
terror department has had such good
results that new and important field
of activity may be offered for the Ger
man farmers.
The potatoes are reduced by this
process to about one-quarter of their
original weight and can be kept in
good condition in this compressed
form for an indefinite length of time.
The military authorities have made
thorough experiments with this prod
uct and have become convinced that
its nutritious value is fully equal to
that Of corn, and that the dried pota-
toes can take the place Of one-third of
the former ration or oats.

RAILWAYS IN CHINA
Progress Shown in the Canton.
Hong Kong Line.
VIII Be Connecting Link Between
Southern Asia and Europe
Part Played by Americans
in Rail Laying There.

Hong Kong.-On April Z His Ex-
cellency the viceroy of Canton laid
the foundation stone of the railway
station at Canton, which is destined
to be the terminus of the railway from
Kowloon. opposite Hong Kong, and
the connecting link between the south
OF the continent of Asia and the conti-
nent OF Europe.
Hallway enterprise is proceeding
apace in China, and In this southern
effort in particular Americans should
evince not little interest since 1t
was an American syndicate which, in
1898. secured concession to build
line from Canton to Hankow, some
100 miles distant. and which. as part
OF the work. did build the existing
road from Canton to Samshui. 1t Is
history that the American syndicate
reiinquished the concession in 1905.
but since that time the Chinese have
pushed ahead with the scheme. and
the rails are gradually crawling north
to connect with Hankow. which is al.
ready In touch with Europe.
The line between Canton and Hong
Kong is 112 miles in length, and the
20 miles on British territory is being
built by the British authorities. while
the balance on the Chinese side is be

line to Canton. with the object of al
once obviating the possible troubles
of dual control and giving Britain
quite firm stand in the south OF
China. However that may be, the
line is going ahead from both ends.
Construction work on the Hong Kong
side has been proceeding since 1907.
and there are considerable engineer
ing difficulties being faced. as may
be judged when 1t is stated that the
% miles is estimated to cost at least
a1.000.000.
I On the route there are many bridges
and cuttings, and one tunel 1880 in
length. as well as one or two minor
ones. On the Chinese side the coun-
try is mostly fiat and there is no need
for tunnels. though large bridge
will be needed near the frontier to
cross the river which divides the ter
ritories.
Mr.. Frank Groves, the engineer in
charge of the line Thy the way. 1t
must be mentioned that British en-
gineers are in charge of the construc-
tion work., is of the opinion that
traffic will be proceeding in another
two years, and by that time It is
hoped the line bound for Hankow
will be we'll on the way. But there
is room for doubt about that. Though
the work is going on. it is proceeding
very slowly, and members OF the board
of control do not appear to be quite
comfortable in their minds as to the
proper manner In which to conduct
the financial and Industrial details.
There are many European engineers
engaged on the line, but they have
no voice in the management. That
Is entirely in the hands of the Chi
nese, and, until more experience is
gained by the Chinese in this charac-
ter OF work. there is bound to be
unnecessary delay and extravagant ex-
penditure.

Of the railway station at Canton was.
OF course. the occasion for quite an
interesting ceremony. at which the
governor Of Hong Kong and many
eminent Chinese officials and Euro
pean citizens OF Hong Kong attend.
ed. Speeches were made which were
calculated to cement the friendship
between the East and the West. and
the viceroy of Canton, who. 1t will be
remembered. was and is keen sup
porter OF closer relations between
China and America. pronounced in no
uncertain voice his convictions that
commingling of interests would be
to the betterment of China and the in
creasing wealth OF the world.
