Roosevelt To Meet With Dry Farmers
Herald Is Commended Efforts n

Texas is urged to come to the next
meeting of the Dry Farm congress tat
Spokane), Oct SIS, and The Herald IS
commended for its work in the interest
of dry farming, in letter from John
T. Burns, secretary-treasurer of the in
ternational organization Mr.. Burns
also writes that an effort is being made
to have Theo. Roosevelt present at the
convention OF dry farmers. His letter
follows:
/ notice from our clippings that The
Herald is beginning to boost for a dry
farm exhibit and delegation for SpO-
kane. That is the proper stuff and I
wish to thank The Herald for it's inter
est.
We are certainly going to have a re-
markab1e meeting here if all signs hold
good, and / hope that we will see
large Texas delegation here and with
an exhibit that will absolutely prove
that Texas is on the dry farming map.
I am preparing to send. an engraved
invitation to the honorable Theodore

A termination box. say six inches in
depth, of suitable dimensions, may be
easily made, or found ready made, that
would answer every purpose OF those
desiring larger accommodations. In
this, place two or three inches of wet
sawdust that had been soaked previously
for thirty or forty minutes in luke
warm water. On top of the sawdust,
which, of course, must be carefully
leveled, place a checker-ruled cloth that
fits the box, numbering the squares
ccnsecutively. The kernels from any
one ear should be placed, germs up, in
a certain square and the ear numbered
to correspond with the number of the
square; then lay wet cloth over the
kernels, and cover the whole with the
wet sawdust By such means enough
seed may be tested at one time to plant
twenty to thirty acress or more, for it

requires only about dozen ears to
plant an acre 1t should be remembered
that the requisites in testing are mois-
ture, warmth and air. The testers
should be where the temperature ranges
at about 20 degrees Fahrenheit, such as
the ordinary living-room affords, TAX
to a stove, or that the temperature is
not allowed to go lower than SIS de-
grees at any time. In selecting kernels
for testing take one from near the
butt of the ear, ore from near the tip
and three or four from various parts
of the middle. They should terminate
strongly in five or six days, and unless
both the root and stem sprouts are
vigorous the ear from which such ker-
nels came should not be used. The
root sprout appears first and is near
the tip of the kernel, while the thicker
stem or stalk sprout comes near the
cap. All ears the grains of which show
less than about ninety to ninety-hve per
cent of full termination should be re-
jected. Of course, ninety Der cent
would be quite considerably above the
average, but, even so, planting corn of
only ninety per cent germinability in
evitably means that ten per cent of the
area, or ten acres out of hundred, will
produce nothing, ten per cent of the
seed being worthless to begin with.
Wherever possible, if of high quality,
it is advisable to use seed corn grown
in the locality where it is to be planted.
for thus the important advantages of
acclimation are assured.
Wbs1o e. -,
seed, particularly this spring, might be
mental publicity" it would be incom-
parably less harmful than no corn, or,
rather. diminished crop, through fail
ure to plant good seed. Corn is the
most valuable soil product of the ma
ton. 1t supplies materials for many
uses, but is the chief substance in
economical and profitable Matchmaking.
1t makes possible our superiority in
live stock, and any appreciate curtail-
ment of its annual output would be
serious setback to inDumerable indus
tries. The United States produces
eighty per cent of the worlds corn, and
the bulk of this is grown in the states
of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
Missouri and Indiana The situation
as to seed is similar throughout these
states, for the early frosts and freez-
ing of last fall extend over a large
portion of the big corn-yielding areas.
Testing seeds of all kinds intended
for sowing or planting is one of the
best investments the farmer anywhere
can make, and is vitally important in
such cases as are presented by the seed
corn problem of this spring. 1t may
save many farmer his labor, time and
creditable crop this year, and cannot
be too widely or emphatically urged.

fields to be planted second time on
account of imperfect termination, and
replanted hills in poor stand seldom,
if ever, can be relied on to produce any
thing like perfect ears. Practically
never.
There are many simple methods of
making the termination test 1t is best,
of course, to have permanent tray or
trays made for the purpose, but ordi-
nary dinner plates, with double fold
of wet muslin between which the ker-
nels may be laid, covered with another
plate to prevent too rapid drying, may
do quite well; or shallow box into
which several lots of kernels may be
laid between the folds of wet paper and
covered with a lid, will serve.
These examples illustrate the prin-
ciple, which may be enlarged upon to
suit the requirements of the individual.

FL Paso, Texas.
have recently had read to me several
reports Of the meetings of the chamber
Of commerce and the merchants advo-
eating protesting against the rate we
are receiving If they will investigate
this matter they will find that We are
receiving a benefit.
The Hartford rate for years was on
a basis of so cents, but our trust laws
were such that the companies to pro-
tect themselves reduced it 70 20 cents.
On this basis our rate would be 20 cents.
The present rate is so cents and can be
reduced If the city will provide pro-
visions necessary to secure it. This new
rate reduces it to % cents and is
saving to us
