No steel Pens in Tropics.

The ordinary stel pens used in tenn
perate climates, particularly those
used in the United States, are not
adaptable to the tropics on account Of
rusting. This is especially true dur
ing the rainy season and at seaports.
Bronze or brass pens, or those coated
with bronze, do not seem to be thus
affected. Ink deteriorates very quickly
in tropical climates and often has the
consistency Of gum. On the ordinary
steel pens this aids the rust and is
hard to wipe off If left for a short
time With the bronze or brass pen
or with pen coated with bronze the
coated ink is easily wiped or burnt
on.

It Is trifie disconcerting to be told
that when the thrifty housewife ex-

DRINK QUESTION IN EUROPE
Thomas Edison, Noted Inventor, Re-
turns From Extended Trip and
Tells Of Liquor Situation.

The New York Times recently pub
llshed an extended interview with
Mr.. Thomas A. Edison upon his OBJ
servations in Europe, where he mac
been travelling, Among other things
Mr.. Edison discussed the drink ques-
ton in France and Germany. the
countries where a certain class OF re
formers" tell us there Is no drink
evil, because the people all drink
beer and wine,
Mr.. Edison took a wholly other
view Of the matter. He said:
Germany eats far too much, but
she drinks with a more reckless alb
surdity than she eats. Her tremen-
dous consumption of beer, wine and
high alcoholic elders is appalling, 1t
hurts her people mentally and phys
Ically and hurts the nation econom-
ically
Both France and Germany drink
too much alcohol French wine is
said TO be less harmful-some even
call It good-than the beverages OF
other countries, because OF its low
content of alcohol. But | noted that
the ordinary Frenchman takes nearly
a quart, or, very likely, a full quart,
OF this beverage before he stops, The
alcohol Is more diluted by the liquid
which contains 1t, but at the same
time his quart Of low alcoholic wine
gives him as much straight alcohol as
three or four drinks Of our whisky
give an American topper
"The same thing, in greater or
less degree, is true OF German beer,
The German drinkers get a good deal
Of alcohol in the course Of its con-
sumption, although It contains but
four per cent. The effect upon the
nation is slow deterioration, as
against the quick results which the
uishman, for instance, gets with his
hard drinking Of potheen.
But | don't know but the one Is
practically as bad as the other; both
are very bad; and | may say this al
though ! saw no drunkenness upon

In q highly diluted form, but, while II

tInent as a whole, is not intoxicated,
but stupened by alcohol and ! cannot
see that the effect Of this upon the
human system, brain and body, Is
likely to be any better than that OF

Value Of Seed Corn.
BY Andrew Boss, Professor of
Agriculture, Minnesota Uni
versity Farm.


Seed corn is usually sold, by seed
stores and farmers having seed to
spare, at 50 to SO per bushel. When
a farmer has to pay above So per
bushel he usually feels that he is be-
ing robbed. AS matter of fact, seed
corn at So per bushel is one of the
cheapest of farm seeds, and the only
reason that it is regarded as high
price is because full consideration has
not been given the seed value of the
crop. 1t requires from a bushel to one
and one-quarter bushels of wheat to
sow an acre, which, at the current
market price for seed grain, would be
$3.50 per acre. Two bushels of barley
would be required, which sells this
year at $1.10 per bushel, making the
seed cost 1920 per acre. Two and one
half bushels of oats are required to
seed an acre; which, at SO cents,
amounts to $1.25 per acre. One-half
to three-fourths bushels of fax is need
ed to seed an acre; which, at $3.50 per
bushel, would cost from $1.25 to $1.S
per acre. In comparison, only one
eighth of a bushel, or four quarts. of
seed corn would be required per acre;
which, at So per bushel, makes the
cost of seed for an acre only 37k
cents. Seed corn selling at So per
bushel causes no greater investment
for seed than would need to be made
for the seed crop lowest in cost, name
ly, oats at $1.25 per acre. 1t would
seem, therefore, that one could well
afford to pay anywhere from IS to So
per bushel to get high class seed corn.
The possibility of profit from the corn
crop is so much greater than from the
other crops that one should not hesi-
tate to make the investment
There is another phase to the ques-
ton, also, which deals with the grow
ing power Of the seed. Corn which
can be purchased at So per bushef may
yield satisfactorily. Much of this corn

has not been selected for any particu-
lar breeding value, and will yield
about the average amount, twenty-six
to thirty bushels. If yielding thirty
bushels per acre, and selling at the
market price of so cents, it would
mean an income of SIS per acre. Corn
especially selected for heavy yielding
qualities may quite as well be made
to produce fifty bushels per acre or
better. Sold at the same price, it
would bring $25 per acre or $40 more.
This $40 should be looked upon as
clear gain if the seed is purchased at
the same price, If S. per bushel more

for common, it would still leave a net
profit of over SO per acre. The cost
of raising the crop is the same in all
except for the husking.< The
high price paid for seed corn, if pur-
chased from a grower who has care
fully selected his corn for yield, and
who has carefully cured it so as to
insure strong terminating power, may
be one of the best investments of the
year. Eight dollars should be looked
upon as only fair price for such seed.
