Thc board OF works passed favor

road, he numbered and lettered, the
streets running north and south being

uniform names, but because Of their
confused arrangement, 1t is hardly pos.
siblc that this can be done.
Action Of the board was taken order

complaint introduced In council two

prove the new ordinance.
One member of the board was rath-
or opposed to the numbering and let

he claimed that II would cause con-
fusion--four A streets. for instance.
At the present time streets south OF

For Numbering Houses.
Besides the ordinance to number

Il ts probable the board of works will;
exercise It's authority to compel uni

as provided In the state statutes. A
notice will be given the property own

having wrong numbers on their houses
to come to the engineers office and
procure correct numbers. Those fail
ing to do so will probably be assess

The chief difficulty. as explained by
the engineer Is that numbers arc plac-

closely associated with weight of ear
than any other quality.
Select ears of bright, healthy color,
Ears of dull o pale color are usually
immature or have been exposed to the
weather; their seed condition is apt to
be poor and the vitality of the plants
Select ears with grains of uniform size
and shape Aside from it's indication of
trueness to type, uniformity of grain is
of considerable Importance in getting an
even distribution of seed and a uniform
stand.
To test seed corn for termination is
essential to modern methods of corn
production. The poor stand of corn is
largely responsible for the low average
yield. and it is impossible to get good
stand without good, strong seed.
No one can identify and discard all the
ears of poor terminating qualities with
out the aid of a terminating test.

proven very satisfactory may be made
of a box 2x20xSO inches inside measure.
Fill. nearly full of moist sand and mark
into squares two inches across by cord
which is passed around the nails driven
in the sides of the box.
The checks in the first row, beginning
at one end are numbered from 1 to TO-,
the second II to 20, etc. After placing
six grains from each ear in their respect
i've checks, another half inch of moist
sand is used to cover the corn. If in
any check all of the grains do not grow,
the corresponding ear should be dis
carded.
The seed corn should be further pre-
pared for planting by Smelling off the
butt ard tip grains, by taking out all

Smelling, with careful observation to dis
cover any ears which have undesirable
grains. In making tests, when a tray
has been planted it must be thoroughly
watered and kept in a warm room where
it will not be upset or disturbed until
the test is finished. The watering is
best done by laying small piece of pa
per flat on the tray and pouring the wa
ter carefully on this until the sand is
fully saturated.
The planted tray should not be allowed
to dry out until the young corn plants
are an inch or two above the sand
Sometimes the corn roots are stiff enough
to push the kernels up out of the sand
When this happens they should be COW
cred again by sprinkling some damp sand
on them.
This method OF terminating seed-corn
has been carefully tested for long term
of years. It is one of the best and sim
plest because the necessary materials can
be easily procured, the terminating seed
does not need to be uncovered or dis
turbed during the test and the conditions
are artificial only to the extent of treat
ing all kernels alike, which is necessary
TO secure reliable results. Testing in soil
is much the most natural method of
determining the probabilities of growth in
the field

PLANT BAD SEED
EXPECT POOR CROP
Testing the Seed Is Absolutely Necessary if Improvement in
the Corn Crop Is Desired
by v. w. szoEsnrrTz.

t is now too late to talk about how
this springs seed-corn should have
been saved, but taking the seed we
have we may select the best of it in
this way The corn should be placed
on tables in a light room and studied
on a bright day. Never attempt TO
pick out your seed-corn except in the
best light Examine the ears careful
" as to weight and color.
Take some of the grains from each
ear and notice the shape and the
depth. Go back and forth over the
ears until you know each one.
Reject the poorer corn and work
the best ears over to one end of the
tale. Save only the best for plant.
ing: or If quite a little, is needed, make
two or more grades of corn and plant
in different parts of the field
The qualities that should be consid-
cred in the selection or corn are type
cf-breed characteristics, general quai-
tiles regardless Of variety or type, ma
turity and seed condition, and compo-
sition
A familiarity with these points may
be had by going over the seed-corn
several times and studying one quality
at time Notice how great variation
may be found in each quality and de-
eide what types should be used as a
practical standard
AS a means of selecting the best
seed-corn doubtless the adaptabilfty,
maturity, seed condition, amount Of
grain and uniformity of grain arc
among the important qualities, but the
exact relative Importance OF each has
not been determined

The best way to apply the fertilizer in
question to corn on land under the con-
ditions described in your letter would be
to incorporate it with the soil at or a
little before the time of planting the
crop. No doubt you expect to use one
or two-horse planter and drill the corn in
in rows. In that event you may put
the fertilizer in the attachment found on
most of these machines and distribute 1t
in the soil under meath the corn at the
time of planting the seed A fertilizer
consisting of phosphoric acid and potash
should give good results under the Cir
cumstances, since the application of the
yard manure and the blowing under Of
the German clover should incorporate in
the soil considerable quantity of vege>
table matter This will decay rather rap
idly, especially if you turned the mate
rial under quite deeply. Roll the land
as fast as it is plowed and work 1t
down well with harrow so as to prevent
a crust forming and thus hold the mois-
ture in the soil. The decay of this veg
etable matter will aid various useful fer
mentations in the soil and will provide
the nitrogen needed by the crop, while
the phosphoric acid and potash will fur
nish the needed mineral elements and
thus should be able to balance up TO the
food supply of the soil and feed your
crop advantageovSly, and hence secure a
good yield.
