For the last five or six years, there is nothing that has come up oftener or been discussed at greater length at opr dairy meetings than the quality o1 our hand separator cream. Our Dairy Association made a separate class TOT butter made from this cream, not ask ing the buttermaker to compete with the whole milk creamery This arh- cle is not written with a view of championing the cause of the hand separator manufacturer, but to try to help the man who has found the sep arator on the farm best suited to his conditions. writes W. E. Barney. of the Iowa State Food and Dairy Com mission. in Hoard's Dairyman. The writer bought the first hand separator ever operated in Franklin county and il Is my opinion that they have come to stay and we must fit ourselves into the conditions as they are.

SECURING SYSTEM ON FARMS.
Organization of Farming Class and Cooperative Methods Will Give
 Farmer His Own.

IL is only by organizing the farming class Of people and by a cooperative move with all laboring classes from small to large enterprises. is our only relief. and d move of that kind would not be impracticable, and 1t does seem to me that it would be high time for readjustment, and the progressive ele- ment of the farming people of this country will take up the cause, in q way to accomplish good and substan- tial results We are divided. unor- ganiZed, we have no way to do busi- ness with the organized element, writes c. w. Junken in Co-operator The call for the farmers organization Is at hand. and seems very much a necessity, in order to bring about a relation that would make us more CO., derstanding with all other enterprises, such as manufacturers and the rail road enterprises.
 We as farming and laboring class are producing the wealth of the coun- try and no debt can be paid unless the wealth of the debt had been pro duced some way. either on the farm or out Of the mine. It is plain to me we are the first owners of all luxuries of life. and must produce sufficient to keep all other enterprises moving and prosperous.
 Now why are we deprived of our most necessary of privileges. such as making our homes comfortable and having time to send our children to school in the country? It is simply for the lack of organizing and taking more interest to get relief.
 We furnish the freight to the rail road. we furnish the material for bread and clothing. now why not have a way to become independent and get a system on foot to live at home? Let us produce what we need at home for living, and grind our flour for bread. and manufacture our own cloth out of our own raw material in our own mills, and keep out of debt, and thereby become able to have a system on the farm that would en- able us to demand living profit on our surplus products that some other country must have or cant produce The farmer should carefully take into consideration who is depending on his welfare The merchant. the bank CT. the railroad and every other en. terprise is depending on the prosper ity of production of agriculture and mining. Let this wealth-producing business cease. and you have clogged the wheel that eirculates and moves ehe business of the world.
 Let ns have a system on the farm is my desire.

SELECTING AND
 TESTING SEED
Best Way to Choose Corn Is to Pick Out Ears From Stalks That Are Unusually
 Vigorous.

For seed purposes the ear corn should be selected from the stalk S it stands in the field after 1t has we'll matured and the husks have be come entirely dry" states Prof. K A. Moore of the agricultural experiment station of the University of Wiscon' sin. in writing of the Curing and Testing of Seed Corn" in a new ci cular, No. IS, just issued. Careful! examine the stalks and reject tnoss which are either very high or vel! low and avoid ears with unusuaiu deformed stalks"
 The best way to select corn IS ~ go down each row picking out 'ns ears from the stalks that are an' usually vigorous and show the ue sired characteristics. Put these can in baskets. at the side of the nea then husk, and discard those that v not up to the standard. Only can of the best form should be retaines for seed purposes since sliAa amount well cared for is worth mo' than a large amount less thorousu' cured.

CORN IN SOUTHERN STATES.
Increase of 1,53s,ooo Acres In Eight States Over Area Devoted to
 Cereal in 1909.

In this ripe year of 1910 there is acres in the eight Southern states of Virginia. the Carolinas, Georgia. Ken. lucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mis- sissippi which is an increase of 1 1,535 ,000 acres over the area devoted to that cereal in that territory in 1909 This is an encouraging sign, and if persisted in and the system of in tensiye culture shall be adopted gen erally. as it is particularly in the states named. the cost of living will be materially reduced-if the people are strong enough to take by the throat monopoly and force 1t to put up with reasonable profit, says Washington Post.
 The South is as good a corn coun. try as the West The greatest yield per acre of that grain ever recorded was grown on South Carolina farm and it is an established fact that last year Farmer Batts, a young man Of 90. tilling the soil within 13 miles of Raleigh, N C., gathered a crop Of corn the yield of which was the enor nous quantity of 225 bushels per acre whereas the average of the country oyer is only 26 bushels.

ADVANCE MONEY ON COTTON
Texas Commissioner of Insurance and Banking Makes Ruling of Much
 importance to Farmers.

The commissioner of insurance and banking of the state of Texas recently made a ruling on advancing money for the handling of the cotton crop, which is of great importance to all classes of people of that state, especially the farmers. It is as follows
 The farmers being interested along with all other classes of citizens of the state, the ruling of the commissioner of insurance and banking who has again notified all state banks of the ruling made last year relative to hand. ling the cotton crop which is now coming on the market. will be of i'm portance to them at this time. The com missioner is sending out the follow ing:
 Section 69 of inc state banking laws, digest of 1909. reads as fol- lows:
 All state banks and trust com panies shall be permitted to loan or discount commercial or business paper secured by lien upon cotton and cotton seed products to the same extent and upoL thC SdIilt tOllultioio oo io ho" oA may be provided for national banks under the laws of the United States
 Tn a letter to a state banker mak- ing inquiry upon the subject, the com- missioner of insurance and banking ruled that, in view of this provision of the new law, which became effective August 9, 1909, state banks and trust ,,..r, I,ro t, one person, firm or corporation upon the security of cotton and cotton seed products in excess of 25 per cent. of the capital stock of the bank or trust company in either of the following ways:
 Il. A bank or trust company may discount or cash drafts drawn by the seller of cotton or cotton seed prod, ucts on the purchasers thereof for the purchase price, such drafts having at taehed thereto bills of lading of ware house receipts for the commodity pur- chased. These drafts may be carried in this way during the time the com modity is being compressed or assem- bled or stored for shipment, or until it Is sold a second time and the or iginal buyer has authority to draw an other draft against the new purchaser. This second draft may then be carried by the bank or trust company in lieu of the first draft issued until paid by the purchaser and the transaction closed. Advances made in this way must be by the discount of drafts drawn by seller against buyer.
 "2. A bank or trust company may also discount notes given by the pur. chaser of cotton and cotton seed prod ucts to the seller for the purchase price thereof; that is, a buyer desiring to se- cure an advance in excess of the loan limit to be used in purchasing cotton or cotton seed products may give his notes in payment for the commodities to the persons from whom they are pur- chased. and such notes may be dis counted for the sellers, when endorsed by them and accompanied by ware house receipts assigned to the bank or trust company,
 This ruling Is based upon letter received from the comptroller of cur rency construing the national banking law bearing on the subject, and all | the state banks and trust companies have been notified of the ruling by cir cular letter.
