ANOTHER WILSON BREAK IN
ATTACKING LAMB, OF VIRGINIA
Macon Telegraph

macon Telegraph.)
Some days ago it was urged in
Georgia that the people of this stata
ought to vote against Underwood be-
sause, as it was said, he had zap
pointed" Congressman John Lamb, OF
Virginia, chairman of the agricultural
committee, Lambs offense, as charged
being that in sixteen years he had
cast one vote not approved by some
of the farmers.
The Telegraph promptly pointed gu,
that the chairman of the ways and
means committee Underwood did not
have the power to appoint the chair
men of the other committees of tn.
house-that the committees and their
chairmen were elected by vote of the
house
Now they have amended the charge
by saying that Underwood voted for
Lamb.
The Telegraph does not know
whether or not Underwood voted for
! Lamb, as the vote was taken in eau
Gus, but this fact is known: John
Lamb entered the Fifty-fifth congress
and for sixteen years has been a mem
| Der of the agricultural committee. In
the Ffty-eight congress he became the
ranking democrat and held that posi-
| ton during the four succeeding con-
! crosses. When the democrats came

Tennis an Old Man'a Game.

The truth is that while young men
being supple and quick of eye, play
tennis better as a rule than men past
80, 1t is a game in which experience
counts as much as youth. The mas
tiers of 1t are likely to be older men
because they are steadier under fire
and oblivious of the gallery. They
play solely for points, however the
points can be made, and never yield
to the temptation to be spectacular.

holding his own on the courts for sew

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS

CLASSIFICATION OF FOODS.

The plan suggested In these
Hints Of classifying foods into
breakfast foods, dinner and sup
per foods, has now the support
Of Sir Lauder 5runton, one of
the most eminent Of English Ply
Ricians, so far that he advises in
> recent work the eating of pro-
teids and carbohydrates as far
as possible at separate meals.
This Is a natural indication of
the principles Of the monodiet.
The menus given last week are
based on these principles. TIE
common practice Of eating
heavy proteid feed like meat,
beans or even graham bread
with fruits, green vegetables,
and perhaps glass Of milk, ic
necessarily injurious, however
able a rugged constitution may
be to withstand its effects for a
time. Whether one, two or
three articles Of food are eaten
at a meal the greatest benefit
will be derived from classifying
foods as suggested. A brief state

of the foods and its combinations

The time of blowing for corn will
Usually be determined by the conve-
nience of the farmer. 1t is pretty well
established that the differences in
Weld on land plowed in the fall and
similar land plowed in the spring are
very slight. Generally it will be wise
to pillow for corn when the ground is
in good condition to be finely pulver-
lied by the pillow and when other work
does not interfere Sticky clay land
should not be plowed when it is so
wet as to slip off the moldboard in a
shiny condition. Land that is likely to
wash because OF steepness or other
conditions should be plowed late in the
winter rather than early.
Part Of the purpose of blowing is to
enable the land TO store water; an
other part to enable it to retain water.
Fall blowing provides for the storage
OF water in the soil; spring blowing
provides for it's retention. But this
qualification needs to be added, that
spring blowing is likely to hasten the
evaporation of soil moisture unless the
plow Is almost Immediately followed
by the harrow. Water escapes very
rapidly from the surface of newly
plowed field. Following the plow With
the harrow while the surface SOL 8

PROPER FLOWING INCREASES The CORN YIELD

face and so retards revaporation. II
also retards the rise Of the water from
the subsoil, thus retaining it where
the plant root will need it during the
growing season.
The depth Of blowing for corn will
be determined largely by the depth
of previous blowing. 1t is not wise to
turn large amount of raw subsoil up
to the surface. Usually it is well to
bring a small amount of new soil un.
der the direct influence of sun and
rain, thus preparing 1t to be useful to
subsequent crops. 1t is to be remem-
bered that it is the mellowed soil that
contributes most to the growth OF
plants. Other influences have much
to do with determining the proper
depth of blowing for corn. If the
ground is plowed in the fall, it may
be safe to pillow an inch or more deep
er than it would be wise TO pillow the
same ground in the spring. The frests
and freezes of winter will do much to
mellow and tame" the soil that has
never been exposed to the more ac-
tive weathering influences.

In return for our time and labor. the
farmer who goes to the crib to select
his seed corn just before planting has
poor chances to get good STAND OF
corn this season. The damaged, I'M
matured condition of the corn makes
it very necessary thas every ear that
is selected for planting be carefully
tested. This can be done quickly and
without cost at your own home. Make
a tester like the one shown in the &C
companying illustration (Figure -.
1t is easily and quickly made by SIM
ply making a box "a by 80 inches and
two or three inches deep. Stretch
small wires or cord across the top OF
the box so as to mark off in squares
two inches across. After the box has
been filed to the level Of the wires
or cord with sand, thoroughly moisten-
ed, the tester is ready for use.
When making the test some system
of arranging the ears on table or
rack SO that the ear corresponding to
a certain square in the tester may
readily be located. The system shown
in Figure 2 is a very simple one. 1t

for termination.
Is made by using a 2x2 piece, with
long nails driven in 1t, each nail hay-
ing a number This rack is also used
for storing corn. The tester is filed
by taking six kernels from each ear
of corn and placing them in one Of the
squares 1t is important that the ker-
nels be removed so as to not injure
the germ. This may best be done by
inserting a knife at the edge of the
kernel and gently prying 1t out, as
shown in Figure 3. Handle each ear
in a similar manner. The kernels
should be removed from different
parts of the ear. After the kernels
are placed in the tester, spread a
thickness or two Of damp cloth over
them and cover with moist sand. Then
set the tester where it will have good
growing temperature. A temperature
of about 20 degrees F. is suitable. If
sufficient moisture has been supplied,
the corn will have sprouted in four or
five days SO as to enable one to de-
termine the good ears. If in any Of
the squares the kernels fail to grow
or show low vitality, they should be
discarded and not planted, as it will
result in a poor and uneven stand,
which will greatly reduce the profit
nf the corn crOD
