Department on Agriculture
ONLY GOOD SEED CORN
SHOULD BE SELECTED.
Biggest Results Come From Planting
Selected Kernels In Soil Prepared
In Best Possible Way.

Professor w. NJ. Jardine of the
agronomy department, Kansas Agri-
cultural college. writes:
Good seed and good seed bed prepar;i-
ton are the factors that contribute
most toward the production of large
yields. A thoroughly prepared seed bed
planted to seed of strong vitality will
generally insure a 100 per cent stand.
Under most favorable weather condf-
tons second grade seed so far as vital
ity is concerned often makes a good
stand Good seed of strong vitality,
though, usually will produce a better
stand on a fairly well prepared seed
bed than second grade seed will make
In an ideal seed bed. The biggest re-
suits can come only from planting
good seed in a soil that has been pre-
pared in the best way possible. The
planting of poor seed-seed that is
weak in vitality, seed that lis mixed
with weed seeds and with other varie-
ties-is responsible for a large percent
age of the low yields obtained on Kan
sas farms.
1t is to the interest of the seed deal
ers and the farmers alike that we
should use the choicest of seed for
planting. Not only seed that is strong
in vitality and pure, but seed of crops
adapted to the soil and climatic condi-
lions under which they are to be
grown. Most of the seed planted in
Kansas is home grown and usually is
put in the ground in the same condi-
ton that it was left by the thrashing
machine Not more than 10 per cent
of our farmers fan or grade their seed
before planting. Any one familiar with
grain as it comes from the thraSher
knows that it is in an unfit condition
to be used for seed because it almost
always contains a large percentage of
cracked grains, weeds, chaff, shrunken
kernels and other material that will
not grow, all of which a tanning mill
would remove at a very low cost. The
screenings obtained therefrom would
make very excellent horse feed to use
while planting the crop.
We recommend the planting of home
grown seed. On the college farm at
Manhattan, Kan, thirty-five tests with
corn were conducted every year for
seven years. The same variety was
grown in every test, but the seed was
obtained from different sources AMI
usually from outside of the state. The
results showed an average yield of 6.S
bushels to the. acre in favor of home
grown seed.

Get Trade BY ADVERTISING.

The best way in which the merchants
in the towns and smaller cities can
fight the mail order houses is to adver-
tise. They know most of their patrons
personally, can show them the goods
before they buy them, have many 9TH
er advantages over the mail order
house and in almost every instance can
sell just as cheap. if not cheaper. re-
marks the Buckeye (O) Informer.
If the home merchant lacks foresight
and is too penurious to properly adyer-
tise his goods, why should the publish
er exert himself to keep the trade at
home for him? If solicitations on the
part of the publisher fail to educate
the merchant to the fact that he must
advertise if he wants to keep up with
the procession. then nothing is left to
the merchant but to learn in the school
of experience. and If the teachings of
that renowned school are of no effect
on him then there is no place for him.
and eventually his place in the COM
mercial world will be taken up by
some more enterprising competitor

HOME TRADE ADVICE.

Every man who spends 50 around
home where only dollar was spent
before is a benefactor to his race.
Plenty of men who froth at the mouth
when they discuss the Capitalization of
government are fostering the centrali-
Zation of trade by patronizing the big
mail order houses which try to gobble
up the business of local merchants
One way to stand by your town is
not to sit down and write orders for
goods to be shipped from the city when
you can buy them to just as much adj
vantage right at home.
A town with no business has no bust
ness to be a town, and it won't be a
town very long after its business is
eliminated by too much dallying on
the part of its citizens with the mail
order business.
The citizen who patronizes home in
dustries without seeking an excuse is
the sparkle in the wine of life, while
the one who prefers to spend his mon
ey outside of his own community is the
dregs.

STORY OF THE SHAMROCK.
How St. Patrick Used 1t to Convince a
Doubling kinq.

Doubling King.
One of the most interesting episodes
in St Patrick's life is the story about
the origin of the shamrock When
the saint came to Tara, which was the
seat of government and the residence
of the ard-righ, or high king, he found
the monarch and his chiefs assembled
in council in the open air.
He was permitted to explain the
doctrines of the Christian religion to
the assembly, but he found it impos-
sible to convey a proper idea of the
mystery of the Trinity. Suddenly,
looking on the ground. he beheld a
small plant with a triple leaf, which
he plucked from the roots and held it
to the gaze of the monarch and his
courtiers. Here were the leaves on one
stem. The king was satisfied, and he
and all his court accepted the tenets
of Christianity.
The shamrock is found only in Ire
land. 1t is a species of grass, and,
though Scotland is only twenty five
miles away and England about fifty, it
has never been found in either of these
countries.

COMMODORE BARRY

The unwilling next spring of a mon

fault with it. Another design was then
selected, one which received the APP
prevail of the national fine arts COM
mission as well as the congressional
committee, and within a reasonable
time the Barry statue will be erected
in one of the beautiful parks of Wash

Early in April of 1716 Barry, then a
captain, won his first naval victory,
