Investigations and experiments have
been continued throughout the year for

long periods without attention. Steps
have been taken for the Improvement

ton is being made of the availability
of wireless telegraph for fog signals.
The appropriations for the general
maintenance of the service for the
present fiscal year were $43S,OOO less
than for the preceding year, this reduc-
ton being due largely to economies eff

the appropriations of 100000 for the
construction of three lighthouse ten
ders was also deferred, as these vessels
were not Immediately needed.
The estimates submitted for the

Seed Corn worth $500 Fer Ear.

Prof. Wheeler, of the Ohio
State University, in an effort to
impress upon farmers the import
ance of testing their seed corn
uses the following significant IL
lustration: lone ear of corn of
average size has about 800
grains, each of which should pro-
duce a stalk bearing an ear.
This would mean 800 ears, or a.
bout eight bushels. which, at 80
cents a bushel, would sell for 81.
90. Not counting the labor of
caring for the crop, that is what
each ear of seed corn is worth.
1t requires just as much labor to
plant poor ear of corn as it does
to plant a good ear, and the poor
one does not give anything in re-
turn for the time and work.
