Every farm paper that we pick up.
and every piece of advertising litera-
ture, pertaining to the farm, that
comes to hand, has something to say
about testing seed corn.
There seems to be a nation wide ag-
itation on this subject 1t may not be
quite nation wide, but it covers every
corn growing state in this country.
1t goes without saying, that when so
much emphasis is placed upon the i'm
portance of testing seed corn, and
when so much evidence is produced to
show conclusively that the yield of
corn can be increased by the seed test,
many farmers who have never before
tested their seed corn will do so this
year.
When this subject came to mind, we
could not help bordering how every
one, no matter whether they knew
anything about farming or whether
they don't, seems to want to take a
hand in helping the already prosper
Gus farmer.
If man is on the down grade, and
is hardly able to claim his sould as his
own, then it is that every one seems
Inclined to give him a shove that will
help him in his descent, but just as
soon as he begins to help himself and
get his head above water SO that he
can see little floating moss, every
one wants to aid him.
This is the case with the farmer to-
day. He is about the most prosperous
Individual in Hn nd oil nf NC,
are directing our attention toward aid
ing him to run his business so that ne
can make more money.
We are not complaining; it's good
work, yet it is amusing i'll a way, be
cause of the light in which every
one held the farmer only few years
back
1t makes no difference, of course,
who suggests what the farmer should
prove his business methods, even
though the advice smacks of the roll
top desk.
AS long as any advice has an atom
of value, it is worth considering. Ev-
cry little helps.
A very large share of the modern
farm methods and most of the improv-
ed farm implements are produced OF
the brains of men who are not actively
engaged in farm work.
1t makes no difference who first
suggested the testing of seed corn, it
is beyond a doubt the proper proce-
dure
If the testing of the seed shows that
there is one bad ear in every twelve.
the time taken to make the test will
be we'll paid for. The finding of one
bar ear in twelve means that the
yield on one-twelfth of an acre will be
added to the profit side of the ledger

Although some very clever manikin
acts have been seen at the Murray
they all fade into insignificance when
compared with JEWELS Manikins as
shown there this week Never have
there been seen Manikins with such
expressive ways, such weirdly human
manners. They almost elude one into
believing that they possess histronic
skill, so easily do they move about in
dance or drama as the case may be.

Cora Simpson and company are

Hattie Mcintosh and her dancing
boys, the other act on the bill, puts
on a very neat, classy little dancing
act. Miss Mcintosh sings several songs
with her boys as a chorus, while the
dancing of the trio is the best seen
here for many a day.

for the country school children TO test
the corn?
BY so doing they would be accom-
themselves as we'll as for the commu-
nifty at large.
So many farmers plead the lack of
time when il comes 10 any thing out of
the regular routine. and, if they do not
feel like doing the testing themselves.
why not turn the job over TO the pu-
pills of the country schools.
We hope TO see the time when the
children will test every seed that is
corn. but wheat. and oats, and other
seeds as we'll. and it is made all annual
event.
Now in addition to teaching this
very important principal. what does il
mean in money TO your county, BY
seed selection alone the scientists tell
US thai YOU can add at least ten bush
els per acre to your county yield.
There are 100000 acres of corn alone
in an average county. Ten bushels
more on an acre will mean that you
VIII nave l,hUu.ouO uushSls winch you
never have had before. which at the
very reasonable price of 80 cents a
bushel will add s50O000 annually TO
the money in circulation in your coun-
ty.
One ear of corn of average size has
about 200 grains. each of which
should produce stalk bearing one
ear This would mean 500 ears. or
about eight bushels, which at so cents
a bushel would sell for $500. Not coun-
ting for the labor of caring for the
crop. that is what each ear of seed
corn is worth. Ii requires just as much
/. Dor to plant a poor ear of corn as ii
does 10 plant good ear. and the poor
ear does no give anything in return
for the time and work"

and threw it into the feed basket. If
the grains in square number fifteen
showed weak termination, correspond
ing ear number fifteen on the nail met
the same fate as ear number seven
The same principle was followed in
the inspection of all the other squares,
and, when he was through with the in
spection. he had a choice lot of seed.
This method is not original with our
neighbor. as We may all know, il is
practically the same as used and ad-
vised by the agricultural department
with few variations.
There are other ways, of course. of
testing seed corn. and it makes no diff
ference which method is employed as
long as the best results are accom-
plished.
There is one way of testing the corn,
however, that is not at al! satisfactory,
that is the Old method of taking hun
bred grains o. corn and placing them
in a can or cup or other receptacle
where they are covered with soil
which is kept moist and set behind the
stove.
The unsatisfactory part of this meth
cd of testing corn is not in placing the
seed in the cup nor in setting it be
hind the stove, it is owing 10 the fact
that this method affords no means of
"h0cking the ears from which the
grains were taken.
We might test one ear al time in
this way: but the practise has been
merely TO see what per cent of the
grains terminated and then TO go
ahead and plant the seed no matter
what the test showed.
! A little thought on that method will
convince any one that it is far from
being of value.
The council of grain exchanges is
sending out posters and pamphlets
calling the attention of farmers to the
fact that millions of dollars are lost
annually because the seed corn is not
tested.
! 1t is claimed in this literature which
| the council is sending out that, when
an ear of corn is planted that will not
grow there is a loss of at least four
dollars
! Seed selection will add ten bushels
| of corn an acre to the corn yield.
| Pure seed means 1000. 600 more
| bushels of corn in the county. tThey
may have stretched this little or it
may be a typographical error: and it
may be Correct)
| They claimed that the school chill
dren can make the tests and by so do
| ing boost the corn crop value of a
county S500,000.00.
! Why would it not be a good idea

PURE SEED CORN MEANS LARGER PROFITS

| instead of to the loss side, that is, if
the bad ear is thrown out.
One of our neighbors was telling us
today how he tested his seed corn,
and it struck us as being a very con-
venient way TO go about it.
He made a box thirty-six by forty
inches, and about four inches deep.
This box he filled with saw dust
and then tamped it. After tamping, the
box was just about half full.
He moistened the saw dust, and
then laid damp cloth over it. The
cloth was marked off in small. num-
bered squares, and in these squares
he placed the kernels from the ears he
tested.
The kernels in each square were
from separate ears.
Over the grains of corn in the box
he laid another damp cloth that fit
down in the box, then on top of that
cloth he placed another cloth-a piece
of gunny sack-that Tapped over the
edges of the box
| On this last cloth he placed more
saw dust which he moistened The
ears of corn from which he had taken
the grains placed in the box were i'm
paled on nails which he had driven
through a board.
Beneath each ear on the board was
a number which correspondent with
a square OF the same number in the
box.
/ He said that box thirty-siX by forty
inches was sufficient for testing the
seed to be used in planting ten acres
After the grains of corn were plac,
ed in the box he kept them as near as
possible at a temperature OF 10 de
grees, and did not disturb the box un
til the expiration of six days. At the
end of that ime, he took hold of the
cloth which overlapped the edges OF
! the box and removed it, In this way he
did not disturb the kernels in the
square. After he removed that cloth
he carefully lifted the cloth that was
| directly over the grains and laid it
aside He was then ready for the in
1 spection.
If he found that the grains of corr
in square number seven did not ger

from the nail where it was impaled

The roar of laughter with which the
