Her Mnddinn March

A young girl who had never heard
OF Mendelssohn's Wedding March,"
but was familiar with the more popu.
lar parody on It, was a witness to-a
Wedding ceremony in an uptown
church recently. As the betrothed
pair walked with dignined tread to-
ward the altar 10 be wed and the or.
gar pealed forth Mendelssohn's inspir-
ing march, the young girl was plainly
shocked. When she arrived at her
home she told her mother Of the cere-
money and %innocently exclaimed:
What do you think, mother, they
played Gee Whiz! I'm glad I'm
Free"

Berlin viii Keep Forests.

The determination of Berlin's munic.
ipal authorities to make their city the
model of what a metropolis ought TO
be is demonstrated afresh by their in
tention to maintain the fine forests
which surround it. Busy as they are
with the problem of relieving street
congestion and providing suitable
lines of transportation for the rapidly
increasing population, they have found
time to conclude negotiations with the
government for the purchase of seven
forests situated at various points
about the city and covering in all
something less than 10000 acres.
The price paid, about $45 1000, 900. is
large, but in fact works out at just
under half a dollar a square yard.
Nearly all the purchased forests, in.
Guiding those Of Grunewald, Tegel,
Grunau and Potsdam, are favorite
haunts Of the Berliners and well
known to American and English Wis.
itors.

CITY MADE A GARDEN SPOT
suenos Ayres, Though Metropolis Of
Argentina, Thinks Of Other
Things Than Business.

Senior Carlos Thays, director of the
public parks of Buenos Ayres. the Ar
gentina metropolis with more than
100000 people, has published a high.
ly illustrated monograph on the 30.
tanic garden of that city, in which he
has set forth the results of some of
his nine years of ceaseless activi ?
to produce a city beautiful. He has
planted more than 142, 900 tr1es; he
has placed the pine of Neuquen
(araucaria imbricata) by the side Of
the palms from Misiones territory
(cocos australis); he mas caused owe
eighty well-distributed parks to be
opened throughout the great city.
His masterpiece Is the great plaza del
Congreso.
In commenting upon Senior Thays'
achievements United States Consul
General r. ~. Bartleman says: "Mu-
nicipal decoration is one of the many
things that the United States has vet
TO learn from the twenty sister Amer.
lean republics. There is no city
among them from which more can be
learned, not merely in municipal
decoration alone, but IN the sense OF
private interest subordinated to the
public welfare, as is shown in the fact
that the commercial element never
demands here that squares shall be
cut up to build more skyscrapers on.
than from the largest Latin.American
city, Buenos Ayres."

Many Competing for Grown That
Will Go With the Highest
Civic Beauty.


When the question is now asked,
what is the most beautiful city in
the world?" the easy and unhesitat-
ing answer is. Paris. That has been
the answer to this query for probably
hVe centuries. But, fifty year from
o when the same question is asked
the answer may be different. for, with
a set purpose and operating upon
carefully thought-out plans of orna-
mentation and adornment. fully fifty
cities OF the earth are now after the
municipal beauty prize. II will re.
qulre a long period to even approx
mately realize most of these beautif-
cation schemes, as, in not a few in.
stances they involve tearing-down and
m~aking-over propositions that will en-
tail an enormous cost. II is. however,
a most interesting speculation as to
which, fifty years from now, will be
regarded as the most beautiful city
in the world. Perhaps it will still be
Paris. but, then, again, perhaps 1t will
not be.
If not Paris. It is highly probable
that lhe most beautiful city in the
world fifty ear from now will be in

STORING SEED CORN
STORAGE ROOM SHOULD BE IN.
AND WELL VENT.
LATED.
a Moderate Temperature Should BE
Maintained-Proper Care Very
Important.
BY l. s. Cook, Professor of Ageonomy,
West Virginia University.

A great many articles have been
published in farm papers during the
last nye years on selecting seed corn.
while the Importance of properly
storing 1t during the winter has not
been given enough attention.
To show the Importance of properly
storing seed corn during the winter.
l Will give you the information OBJ
tanned on this question by the state
experiment station of one of the lead
ing corn states. In March of 1911, a
letter was sent to a well-known corn
grower in each county of the state,
requesting that they send sample of
their seed corn that they intended to
plant to the experiment station to be
tested This request was complied
with by most of the farmers receiving
letters, and after terminating the corn
it was found that the average per cent
OF termination was very near 20. The
highest per cent of termination was
SO, there being two samples reaching
that mark. The period of termination
occupied from IL to IA days, about the
number of days it requires for corn to
terminate in the field when We have
unfavorable conditions in the spring
at planting time. The question may
be asked, What per cent of germina-
ton would seed corn of the average
farmer show when seed corn obtained
from farmers above the average only
showed about 70 per cent? The low
Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1911-11-17

per cent of termination may be at
tributed to several causes, but i'm
properly storing it during the winter
is one.
One of the samples of corn showing
9S per cent germinaton was taken
from the stalk, when ripe, just before
cutting, and stored in well-ventilated
room, where the temperature ranged
during the winter from 40 to 20 de-
grees. The ears were fastened to a
two-inch square piece of timber three
feet long by means Of long wire nails
with very small heads, flnown as fin
ishing nails, driven slanting in the
twcSnch square timber on each side,
spacing the nails three and one-half
inches apart. The ears of corn were
thrust on these nails in the butt end
of the ears. About one bushel of ears
can be stored on such a device. A
screw-eye is put in the top of the tim
Der, on which the ears are fastened,
and a screw-hook is put in rafter,
joist or ceiling of building and it is
tnuS hung out OF lne way Vi Idls anu
mice. The ears can be stored in this
way without touching, thus having
good ventilation. Be sure that there
is an air current passing through the
room.
The old-time method of tying may
be used in storing seed corn, and it is
just as good a method as any, only it
is not quite so convenient when it
comes time to germi.ate The corn, as
the method of storing as above de-
scribed. Take a piece OF binding
Irvine about u feet long, tie the ends
together and place the first ear on the
two strings, resting on the floor. Cross
the strings by passing the hand hold
ing one loop end of the two strings
through the two strings held by the
other hand, and so continue until all
the string is all used, after which it
may be hung up overhead in the room
the same as in the above method This
method is Inexpensive and simple.
