ter Is needed to soften the seed coat so
the plant can get out. But this starch
and oil will not dissolve in water
without first being changed to solu-
BILE form. This is accomplished by
means of ferments called engines. II
you will put piece Of starch on your
tongue for moment you will find that
It will begin to taste sweet. This Is
because the ferments in the saliva are
changing it to sugar. The engines In
the endosperm work in much the same
way. changing the starch and oil to
sugar and other soluble substances
These are dissolved by the water and
go to feed the growing plant.
These engines cannot work without
air and warmth. You already know
that seed will not germinate in cold
ground, and If you will put some
beans in a glass Of water and leave
them for several days you will find
that they will not germinate, no mat
ter how warm they are kept, because
they cannot get air. The reason is that
without both air and warmth the en-.
zymes cannot prepare the food for the
plant, and if 1t cannot get food of
course it cannot grow.
After the plant has started to grow
the seed coat is no longer of any use
10 1t. In some plants, such as corn.
the little plant finds its way out very
easily. The little pumpkin plant, with
Its heavy coat, has harder time. In
deed, were it not for little contriv-
ance with which nature has provided
1t 1t could not get out at all. This is a
tiny hook on the lower end of the
seed. This hook catches on the end of
the seed coat and peels 1t back as
neatly as you take off your coat.
Watch for this in a terminating pump
kin or squash seed and see If you can
not notice it. In some seeds, like hiclS-
ory nuts, the plant is unable to get out
until the seed coat is cracked by the
frost or in some other way.
We have seen that seed cannot
start to grow unless 1t has moisture,
warmth and air. 1t not only needs
these, but it needs them In the proper
proportions. In a light. sandy soil
moisture is often lacking, and the
seed is slow in terminating for this
reason. In such soil growth will
start more quickly If the soil is pack
ed tightly around the seed. The seed
will soak up moisture more rapidly If
the particles of sell are in close con-
tact with it on all sides. Packing
down the soil in the row with the
fat side of a hoe or with board or
with the broad. fiat planter wheels in
the field helps the seed to absorb
moisture and so hastens termination.
In heavy, sticky clay soil there is
usually plenty of moisture. but air is
often lacking. If such a soil is pack
ed down too tightly over the seed the
particles are forced so closely together
that very little air can get through,
and hence termination is delayed. In
a soil of this kind seeds should never
be planted very deeply.
The most important factor of all is
warmth. 4 cold soil may have

the same way. It Is muCl the same
inside as the bean, only flatter. The
hilum is at the pointed end. and the
plumule is so small that you may not
be able to see it at all. In these two
seeds there are only two main parts,
the seed coat and the little plant. BY
far the greater part of the room inside
the seed coat Is taken up by the fieshy
seed leaves.
Now let us look at different kind
of seed. Take kernel Of corn that
has been soaked for several hours AID
cut It in two lengthwise the narrow
way. The back of the grain Is L,lde
up in part of hard, fiinty substance
and in part of white, mealy layer A
large part of the front of the kernel is
taken up by the soft. oily germ.
Look at the cut section of the germ
carefully. The little plant can be
made out very plainly. The little
pointed stem which points upward and
outward is the cotyledon. There Is
only one cotyledon In corn instead Of
two, as In the other seeds you have
examined. If you will take a cotyledon
of corn plant that has been left in a
warm place until 1t has commenced to
grow and cut 1t In two lengthwise you
will see that the inside Is packed with
layers of tiny leaves ready to unfold
as soon as their turn comes. This Is
the plumuh. The other parts Of the
little corn plant you will be able to
make out with little trouble.
You have doubtless been wondering
what the rest of the kernel, the part
back Of the germ, is for. While 1t IL
not part of the plant itself, 1t IS oi
very great use to II, as we shall see
/ The little plant when 1t begins tn
grow must have food. At first 1t has
no roots to get this food from the soil
so It must get its nourishment from
some other source. This source Is the
part of the kernel outside Of the germ
itself, or the endosperm, In the pump
kin seed and the bean the endosperm
and the cotyledons are the same-that
is. the food material Is stored In the
large, flshy seed leaves.
This food material consists largely
of starch and Oil. Neither OF these can
be used by the developing plant with
out first being changed to n LIQUID
form. This is one OF the reasons why
seeds will not germinate without wa
ter. The other reason Is that the wa.

A Common Cold.

We claim that If catching cold
could be avoided some of the most
dangerous and fatal diseases would
never be heard of. A cold often
forms a culture bed for germs of
infectious diseases. Consumption,
pneumonia, diphtheria, and scarlet
fever, four of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, are of this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the development of the germs
of these diseases, that would not
otherwise find lodgment. There is
little danger, however, of any of
these diseases being contracted when
good expectorant cough medicine
like Chamberlains Cough Remedy
is used. 1t cleans out these culture
beds that favor the development of
the germs of these diseases. That is
why this remedy has proved so uni
wersally successful in preventing
pneumonia. 1t not only cures your
void quickly, but minimizes the risk
Df contracting these dangerous dis
eases. For sale by Burnaugh &

moisture and air In exactly the right
amounts, and still the seed will not
start to develop. Even If 1t does be-
gin to grow progress will be slow, and
the plant will have a weak, unhealthy
look. 1t is of the utmost Importance
to wait until the seed bed is warm
before planting the seed. Many seeds
which would rot or produce only
spindling stalks If planted in a cold
soil will grow into strong plants If
planting is delayed until the soil has
become warm. Any seed will make a
stronger, better producing plant if it
has warm seed bed to start from.
The rapidity with which soil will
warm up in the spring depends a great
deal upon the nature Of the soil itself.
A. sandy soil warns up quickly be-
cause the air can get down into 1t
easily, thus warming 1t all the way
through at once. Another reason for
the higher temperature Of sandy soil
is its greater dryness. AS long as wa
ter is evaporating rapidly the ground
will be cold. The process of evapora-
ton requires great deal of heat.

Last week | completed a trip

a period of thirteen weeks, dur
ing which time | spent a week
each in thirteen different cities
and towns. After travelling over
$500 miles in the State, most of
which was done by daylight, and
spending the time in the differ
ent places as mentioned, am
satisfied beyond all doubt that
Lumberton is the best town of its
size in the State, without any

place which has a better system
of town government. I have,
however, just left a Virginia
city which has one of the best
laws | ever heard of. 1t is in re-
gard to children being allowed
on the streets at night. At 7:3O

the fact that they have the bes'
