SAVE MONEY IN SAVING
-. SEED CORN
Some Financial Phases Of Seed Corn
-. Week .

Farmers who did not have seed corn
last spring paid from 5000 to $500
per bushel for it. They could have
saved if from their crop of the fall
before at a cost Of 40 cents pei
bushel, figuring that man could Sc.
lect only bushel a day. Storing
and curing in an attic or unused bed
room would cost only few cents, and
testing is good pastime for the winter
and spring days.
All told, it should not cost the farm
er over $1.00 busheI to grow, save,
cure and test his own seed corn, from
a good field Of corn. Thus from $l.OO
to $500 per bushel might have been
saved by the men who had to buy
seed corn last spring.
But the most important considera.
ton is not the cost Of saving the seed.
When good crop Of corn has been
grown on farm there is no better
source from which to select seed corn
for that farm than from that crop.
The corn is adapted to the soil and
climate and is most likely to succeed
again. If it is kept pure and attention
is given to selecting the best type of

can be made and the crop made much
more certain.
If while saving seed corn for him
self, the farmer can save two to five
bushels per acre to sell at $500 or
more a bushel to those who are not
so forehanded, he has put nice pre-
MUM on his corn crop. A 40-bushel
yield at Al cents, the average price
for corn during the past ten years,
would be worth $500 an acre for
feed. IF bushels were sold as seed
at $3.50 bushel and the balance used
for seed, it would bring $22.67 an acre
or 1927 more. Twenty acres of corn
so handled would yield profit enough
to pay the expense Of one Of the boys

A PROCESS OF EDUCATION

indianapolis News: Mr.. Roosevelt now
is, if we may judge him by his plat
form, one of the foremost advocates Of
prediction publicity of campaign
contributors. But it was not always so.
In 1908 Mr.. Bryan came out strongly
for this policy, and his platform favor
ed it. Roosevelt, on the other hand,
opposed it. In letter written Septem-
Der q, 1908, replying to Mr.. Bryan,
Roosevelt said that in a. letter written
four years before-October 26, 1904
he specifically approved the con-
ditions under which the national CON-
mittee was accepting contributions.
This letter is sandwiched in between
the two letters he wrote urging that
no contributions be received from the
Standard oil company. He surely was
the busy little letter writer in those
days. ].
But Roosevelt, in his reply to Bryan,
said further that Bryan knew that Har-
riWanAs subscription to the Roosevelt
campaign in 1904 did not interfere
with any action taken by him, there.
by,lof course, admitting that Hartman
did contribute. The fact, however, was
not known to: the people till two years
later. There was no prediction publ
city, and none after the election ex-
eept by the merest accident. But
Roosevelt went still further:-
+ You have shown by this letter of
yours that if Mr.. Hartman con.
tribution to the campaign fund of
1904 had been known before the elec-
ton you and your supporters would
have endeavored to use the fact of its
having been made in an insincere and
untruthful argument to show that !
could not be trusted to deal out ex.
act Justice to Mr.. Hartman. No strong.
er argument against your proposition
has yet been advanced than this that
you have unconsciously advanced.
So, only eight years ago, this great
less foe of "crooked' business, argu.
ed in favor Of taking campaign con.
tributions from Hartman and any one
else, and Keeping quiet about it. It was
thus that the money was got from
the Standard oil company, the great
insurance companies, the steel and har.
vester people, and Hartman. And
eight years ago Roosevelt could see
nothing wrong in it. Yet if in 1904
there had been publicity before the
| eampaign5s,, there would have been no
contributions from any Of these
Sources. : The third-termer' has gone
