Lost On Cotton At
Georgia State Farm

Milledseville, Ga, April 13-The
periodical lime light era of the state
prison farm has been reached again.
This time cotton is to blame for all
the trouble.
For several years past, determin-
ed efforts have been made to pre-
vent the state from engaging in
growing cotton at the penitentiary
here, but last season the prison COM
mission. in common with everybody
else. tried TO raise a maximum crop
and SIS bales were grown
This was stored out in the fields,
waiting for higher prices. Along
with the advance came ruination to
tle crop and damage approximating
$4,000 has accrued, according to To-
cal cotton men and warehouse pro-
prietWs. who are we'll versed in the
business.

The tip kernels are likely to be flinty
and of pop corn shape, which is un-
desirable in dent corn. II bare tips
are noticeable to quite an extent
throughout the field, it may be due to
the fact that the silks representing
the tip kernels which were formed last
we're too late to receive the pollen to
fertilize them. If ears having defec-
tive tips are used for seed, their I'M
desirable characters will soon become
permanent. Open tips usually accom-
pany shallow and irregular kernels on
the ear which makes the kernels on
that part Of the ear undesirable for
planting, or account of lack of uni
&ormity.
In Judging the character of the butt
OF an ear Of corn, the way Ia which
the rows come over towards the shank
ie important. II the corn comes in
too close, the ears may drop on the
stalk during the ripening and not full
~ mature. All ears which have butts
Improperly filed should be rejected.
Corn breeders in desiring to get
large proportion of corn to the cob,
often choose ears with too sn1aIl an at
tachment for the shank. The butt and
the tip kernels are rejected for plant
ing, because they are more likely to
he mixed with other varieties and
owing to their peculiar formation, they
are not uniform, and interfere in the
planting. They also seem weaker in
termination and are more tardy in

growth than kernels from the middle
parts Of the ear.
Kernels should be Of perfect wedge
shape, narrower or wider at the point,
according to the variety characteris-
tics.
They should be uniform In shape,
size and color and true to the type or
variety. The crown or big end Of the
kernel should be such that the edges
OF the kernels slope from tip to crown.
The tip Of the kernel, which is the
part attached to the cob and contains
the germ is rich in protein and oil
and of the highest feeding value. For
this reason a plump tip usually indi-
Gates vitality.
The kernels on the cob may be ir-
regular, being deeper at the butt than
at the tip. This makes the kernels
non-uniform in size and renders the
corn almost wholly unfit for seed. No
machine will plant kernels Of this type
so as to get a uniform stand.
Kernels with weak or shriveled tips
should be discarded, no matter how
well the outside Of the ear may look.
At least So per cent. Of the oil in the
kernel is in the germ, hence corn
with well formed germs is desirable.
Tests by the Illinois experiment sta
ton show that the oil In corn may
vary from III to 71a per cent and
protein from 61a to is per cent. If
seed corn contains a large amount Of
protein and oil the crop grown from
this seed will be high In these desir-
able features.
Standard measurements for corn
produced in northern, middle and
southern Wisconsin, are as follows:
Length, northern section to inches,
central, 81 to 81 inches, southern 81a
to 91h inches. Long ears are objection
able because they usually have poor
butts and tips, shallow kernels and
hence a low per cent. of grain to the
ear. In general the circumference
should be three-fourths the length.
The standards for various sections in
Wisconsin are: Northern to S1S
inches, central 61h to inches, south.
ern to III inches. ------

not in merchantable shape and it

How to Have the Best Cough
Syrup and Save 81, by
Making 1t mt Home.

Cough medicines, as 4 rule. contain a
large quantity OF plain syrup. III you
take one pint OF granulated sugar, add
u pint of warm water and stir about
2 minutes. you have as good syrup as
money could buy.
Ii YOU will then put 21a ounces of
and fill it up with the Sugar Syrup, you
will have as much cough syrup as you
could buy ready made for $3.50. 1t
keeps perfectly.
And you will find it the best cough
syrup YOU ever used-even i'll whooping
cough. You can feel it take hold--usu-
ally stops the most severe cough in pa
hours 1t is Just laxative enough, has o.
good tonic effect, and taste IS pleasant.
Take a tcaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
1t, is a splendid remedy, too, for
whooping cough, Group, hoarseness, asth-
ma, chest pains, etc.
Pinex is the most valuable concentra-
ted compound of Norway white pine ex-
tract, rich in guaiacol and all the heal
ing pine elements. No other prepare
ton will work in this formula.
This recipe for making cough remedy
with Pincx and Sugar Syrup is now
used and priced in thousands of homes
in the United States and Canada. The
plan has often been initiated but never
successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded goes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will
get it for YOU. If not, send to The
Pinex Co., Fl. Wayne, Ind.
