eral ears at least are thrown out.
1t would seem to be of special i'm.
portance to make termination tests
of the corn this year because of the
unfavorable condition last year for the
maturing OF the crop. The writer has
had numerous reports from differen
parts OF the state indicating that the
seed corn Is In an extremely poor
condition, and has found in some OF
our corn that from to 10 per cent.
and in one case nearly so per cent
OF the ears had frozen germs which
would absolutely fail to terminate. On
account of this condition of our seed
corn, 1t Is important that every corn
grower should test his seed and do So
loss Of three to five dollars in the
crop, which is ample remuneration
at once so that he Eay be able to Sc.
cure a good grade elsewhere if he
finds his own in poor condition. Direc.
lions are given below for making a
termination test, which is quite simple
and can be made on any farm without
special equipment.
Make box of the following dimen'
sions on the inside: Three inches
deep. twenty inches wide and twenty
to thirty inches long. Fill the box
within one-half inch of the top with
moist soil (sand or loam). Drive tacks
around the edge of the box every two
inches and wind cord back and forth
across the box in both directions, so
as to mark 1t off into two inch squares

Conservation Of Farm
Trees.
BY Professor r. j. Baldwin of the
Michigan Agricultural College.

There are many farm and country
roads in Michigan that lack the beauty
of our native trees. This is especiall,
true of those sections visited by the
great fires Of 1871 and 1881. Gradual
ly this loss is naturally replaced BY
trees springing up in protected corners
along road fences or ditch banks, OF
among stones and stumps.
1t is an easy matter while repairing
or replacing fences to leave the small
saplings Of American elm, white oak
ash, etc., where they are in position
to develop into symmetrical. well
formed trees.
The young sprouts of American elm
are especially tenacious and hardy, but
are often scraggly and poor-lookine
when young and hence cleared away
as Objectionable brush. Such young
inconspicuous elms, IL left, grow rap
idly and develop into stately trees
whose beauty is an addition to any
farm or highway on which they grow
While IL is Objectionable to have
them scattered through the work
fields, it is almost imperative on a
stock farm to have some trees. This
has been done by some stockmen by
planting small grove where four
fields corner. This plan supplies the
shade, while 1t avoids the objection OF
trees being an obstruction on the farm.
In choosing trees to be left or planted
permanence and hardness should be
considered first and rapidity of growth
second. The Carolina poplar has been
planted extensively in Michigan on ac.
count of its rapid growth, but It has
proven short-lived and unattractive.
Some species of willows are often
planted, but these seldom, IL ever.
have place except in parks.
The sugar maple, Norway spruce and
American elm are somewhat slower in
growth, but even when small are beau.

ears by mechanical examination. and
the corn should be tested carefully in
terminating box. 1t is not sufficient
to take a few grains from several OF
the ears in miscellaneous way and
test them for germination. as there
are always few grains at least which
will not grow, and the terminating
quality of the seed corn cannot be
improved in this way. The different
ears should be tested separately, so
that any that fail to terminate or
chow low vitality. may be discarded.
Some men have made termination
tests of their corn and because they
have been able to throw out but a
small percentage Of ears because of
lack of termination they think the
test of little importance, but when we
come to consider the number Of miss.

NINE AVIAT0RS
COMPLETE CIRCUIT
BleriOt's Machine Is Winner
in First Places.

Paris, July S-Two competitors COM
peted in the Mathis circuit aviation race
in August, 1910; one succeeded in flying
from Paris to Madrid in Mathis recent
race, while four went from Paris TO
Rome. Nine completed the latest circuit
race, which included crossing the English
channel twice. The figures mark a de-
cided progress of aviation.
The first six to complete the last cir
cult operated monoplanes, the last three
bIplanes. One OF the latter, however,
made a most important and instructive
flight, Renaux carrying a passenger,
Senoques, his mechanician, throughout
the entire race with considerable impedi-
ments in the shape of spare parts and
repairing material. Those who finished
represented the six types of makes and
four types Of motors.
BleFiot's proud position in winning the
two first places is due greatly to the
excellent work of Aviator Leblanc, who
was prepared for every emergency.
The great lesson to be drawn from the
circuit race is that the motor needs de-
veloping. Accidents and breakdowns are
seldom due to the aeroplanes as such.
All OF them could fly, some better than
others. and the difficulties arose from
the want OF absolutely reliable motors
which will stop only when wanted to.
