a Road That Stands Wear.

Nebraska State Journal: New Jer-
sey claims to have discovered that BIZ
luminous roads cost less than maca-
dam and stand the wear of automobile
traffic much better. The state has
eighty five miles OF this road already
and announces that 1t viii lay no more
of the old fashioned kind. The objec-
ton to macadam is that 1t is picked up
by the wheels Of automobiles and scat
tered to the four winds OF heaven. The
wear on the good roads leading out
from automobile centers like all of the
large cities shows conclusively that an
improved material Is urgently needed
The bituminOus road seems to serve
the purpose because Ii has sufficient
resaliency to meet the needs of traffic
and at the same time is compact
enough to prevent the particles from
being picked UP by the rubber tires.

MAKING SURE OF A STAND.
What Seed is the Conditions Under Which Grow,
and How Conditions to be Obtained
BY Prof. D. N. Barrow.


I'M HE GOOD FARMER-if the
MI weather has permitted-has
09 already stirred his soil, and so
knows that it is stored with a good
supply of moisture and of available
plant food. The question now is,
What seed shall l plant. and how
can l place the seed in the soil SO as
to secure certain and rapid germina-
tion?'
The variety of seed, and that
pedigreed seed.-one bred for gen.
erations-has already been secured.
He has. of course. seen to it, that
the vitality of these seed has in no
way been injured.
The Birth of the Plants.
The conditions of termination are
a free access of air. the proper tenn
perature, and correct amount Of
moisture. When these conditions ex-
list Mother Nature issues her call, the
infant stirs and stretches itself and
Immediately finds it's cradle too
small. With a strength far greater
than we dreamed, it bursts it's cradle
open. Then stealing from its cover
ing appears tiny thread that imme-
diately turns downward and is des-
tined to become the root of the new
plant. When still further warmed
by approaching spring, stealing out
from another split in the cradle,
come the future stem and leaves.
Now examine the cradle from
whence this plant came and we find
it an empty husk. This formation of
root, stem and leaf has gone on at
the expense Of the digested food that
was snugly tucked around the infant
by the parent plant. 1t was put there
for this express purpose Of lasting
until the planlet had developed its
roots with which to gather food ma
| terial, and it's leaves, with which to
digest and manufacture that mate
rial into food.
The Soil Conditions Young Plants
Need.
All OF these facts can be made Of
value in inSuring a stand. Since
warmth and air are prime requisites
in promoting termination, we should
see that the temperature Of the soil
is sufficiently high and that all excess
Of moisture is removed, because a
wet soil not only means cold soil
but also one that is devoid of air.
Remember it is the temperature Of
the soil and not Of the air that
counts. Much seed is lost every year

Your paper is only half used when
you have read it through. Either
file it then for future reference or
hand to some neighbor before 1t
gets old.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-04-09

because we have not observed this
fact but have planted because the
thermometer-or our feelings-made
us guess it was time to plant. 1t
is seldom advisable to put corn into
the ground until a thermometer bur-
led couple of inches for two or
three hours, shows temperature of
SO to 80 degrees. For cotton, the
latter is desirable. When this tenn
perature is reached then few cool
days will not stop termination.
The Depth to Plant.
Just what is the best depth to bury
the seed varies SO greatly, not only
with the seed. but also with the soil
and the season. that it is unsafe to
lay down any fixed rule. AS gen
eral thing. it is safe to follow the
rule of never burying the seed to
greater depth than twice it's diameter.
But in times of excessive rain even
this may be too deep. On the other
hand, it is seldom advisable to go
much deeper than this, especially on
well-prepared soil we'll filled with
vegetable matter. and if the planting
has been followed with a roller.
Plant Only Well Filled, Heavy Seed.
Since the young plant is dependent,
during the first stages of it's growth,
upon the nutrition stored in the seed,
al oil ~ hni
the better this seed is stored with
such material the more vigorous will
be the plant and the better will it be
able to survive hardship. 1t is we'll,
then, to select for planting the best
filled. heaviest seed. 1t is because
they are generally not so we'll sup
piled with baby food" more than
any other reason, that it Is advisable
to discard the butt" and "tip" grains
Of corn for planting.
This principle also holds true with
cotton seed as well as' with all others.
Experiments have shown very consid-
cradle advantage in termination and
in final yield by separating cotton
seed of heavy specific gravity by
means Of fan. This fan also sepa-
rates the immature seed, and were
it more generally used. stands could
often be assured with very much less
seed than is now the custom. This,
especially in this spring of high
priced seed. is no small item of econ
omy. In fact, l believe that we
frequently damage our stand by the
use of an excess of seed. This is
especially true of cotton. When the
drill is filled. as is so often the case,
the plants lift up the whole top of
the row. and unless this is followed
by shower. the surface soil is apt to
dry out. or with cool weather, chill
ing of the roots results, causing re-
tarding of growth or sometimes even
death of the plant.

the probable period of the composition

tirely Enclosed by Clouds.
If astronomers are right in ascrib
ing the wonderful brightness Of Venus
to the existence of an atmosphere con
tinually filed with clouds, then she
must be a world without time-ai
least there can be no measurement n
time there such as we have here.
1t is because we can see the sun and
the stars that we are able to traverse
the oceans and run railroad trains
across the continents.
Surround our earth with an unbro
ken shell of clouds and what would be

eters? Not a ship could safely cross
the sea; not a railroad would be able
to run its trains without series OF
frightful wrecks. In few weeks
every clock and watch would be hope.
lessly wrong and all exact timekeep.
ing would cease.
Probably there are few who stop to
think OF the way in which our every
day life depends upon astronomical
observations. Our great primary time
keeper is the earth rotating on its
axis. II we could not see the sun
and stars because of clouds we should
not know that the earth rotates and
there would be no standard to which
we could refer our timepieces and by
which we could correct them. In fact,
we should probably have no time
pieces.
There could be no hours and min
utes. for they are exact divisions Of
an ideal day based upon celestial OBJ
servations which would be impossible
to US.
They could not be based upon clocks
or other mechanical devices, because
the most exquisite chronometer that
can be constructed will not keep time
indefinitely and must be continually
corrected by means Of observations Of
the stars made in the Observatories.
There could be no accurate maps Of
countries or charts Of the seas. for
such maps and charts can be made
only by the aid Of astronomical obser-
vations
There could be no parallels of lati-
tude or meridians Of longitude, for
they. too, are based on celestial OBJ
servations which would be impossible
to us.
We should not know with any GER
tainty where we were upon the earth
We could not measure the distance
from New York to London nor from
New York to San Francisco.
Poetical minds, moved by the spec
tacle of Venus in her glory, have

April Foolinq.

The origin of the custom of April
fooliug cannot be traced with any de-
gree Of certainty. In the literature OF
the last century there are found many
references to it, and yet beyond that
it is scarcely possible to go, One sug'
gestion is that the custom of playing
tricks on the first day of April was de-
rived from some ancient pagan Gus
tom. such as the Hull festival among
the Hindoos or the Roman feast Of the
fools. one fact, however, we do know
and that is that the practice prevails
in many countries under various
names which would seem to indicate
that it dates away back to the early
history of the race.-Brooklyn Eagle.
