A Fair Deal In School Funds.

Prof. Wm. P. Evans, State Superin-
tendant of schools, has notified the
county clerks of the state that he vii
exercise authority vested in his office
to revise and correct erroneous enum-
erations of children of school age for
the apportionment of public school
funds; and that, where more money
was apportioned and paid last year than
a correct enumeration warrants he will
ask for the return of the excess. This
is a sensible, honest business prop
osition and shows that the Educational
department is in good hands. It has
been shown that the enumeration In
St. Joseph and in Hannibal were ex-
cessive and there is no doubt that
some of the other cities and towns and
many rural districts returned a larger
enumeration than was justified. In
any case where the enumeration to be
less than it ought to be the Superin-
tendant will increase the apportion-
ment.

lieveing that it should be adopted in
preference to any other proposition
looking to the erection of a new capi-

How To Auoid Replanting Corn
Sure Way to Increase Yields
BY j. c. HackIemsn, Assistant in
Asronomy, Missouri College
of Agriculture.

How much of your corn are you
going to replant this year? Why not
determine now not to do any replant-
ing or planting over, and begin imme-
diately to get the seed ready?. To
prepare enough seed for fifty acres
and have seed that will grow is a task
which will not take more than two
days now, and it may save many
times that amount or even a whole
corn crop later.
1t is quite generally understood
that corn which is gathered in the
fall and thrown into the crib in large
quantities often has its germ injured
and therefore it's terminating power
much lessened. Even if this treat
ment does not kill the germ it will
injure it, and this means a weak stalk
in the field next summer and a nub-
bin at husking time
Many farmers claim that they de-
termine the terminating power of an
ear of corn at sight by simply exam
lining the germ, but while this is a fair
test it is not accurate and often is
very misleading. Experiments have
proved that corn stored in a heap in
a crib and allowed to freeze before
becoming thoroughly dry is materially
weakened and will often fail to ger
inmate even where the germ has the

weak ears to be readily detected and
thrown out.
The germinator may be prepared by
making a box two feet by three feet,
and three inches deep Gold pieces of
two by four scantlings make good
outside frome). The box is then filled
with sand and holes are bored through
the sides or nails driven i'll the sides
about 21s inches apart and string
stretched back and forth across the
box. These strings will divide the
box into squares into which the ker-
nels are to be placed.
The ears of corn are then laid out,
and five or ten kernels, preferably
ten, are taken out of ear No. and
put down in square No. 1, kernels
from ear No. will be in square No.
q. and so on until all the ears are
