TESTING SEED CORN.
Clemson Extension WOrk-Ar.
fcle 62.

X X x X X X x 4 y \
Seed corn which has been stored
through the winter under ordinary
conditions in South Carolina, is often
thought to need no testing before
planting. But the high price OF land
and the additional expense of replant-
ing the field demand that the progress
sive farmer know more about the
quality of seed that he is to plant.
The proper time to make the ger
minating test is about three weeks
before planting, so that if any bad
ears are found in the lot and discard
ed, the ears which are to take their
place may also be tested before the
seeds are placed in the soil.
A convenient sized testing box for
the average farmer is one that IS "a
inches by "a inches, and about to 6
inches deep. This box can be made
from six inch plank or a soap or
starch box sawed down to the desired
depth can be used. This box should
have a layer of at least two inches Of
wet sawdust packed tightly over the
bottom. It will be found convenient
to wet the sawdust in an old sack by
letting (the sack containing the saw
dust) soak in warm water for: 20 to
80 minutes, so that the sawdust may
have an equal moisture content
throughout. ....+
Having completed the box, take a
piece of white cloth, which should be
a little larger than the box, end mark
off one hundred squares 2x2 inches.
Number each of these consecutively
from / to 100, then dip this cloth into
q bucket of water and stretch it even
ly over the sawdust. -.
| When the tester is complete, take
the ears of corn to be tested and num-
Der each ear. Then take six kernels
from each ear, two from opposite
sides CT the butt, two from opposite
sides of the middle, and two from op-
posite sides of the tip. See that no
two kernels are taken from the same
row, and if the butt and tip kernels
are taken one inch from the end Of
the ear, this will be an average sam
pie. Having taken the kernels from
the ear, place them in the square
which is numbered to correspond to
the number of the ear. Allow no two
of them to touch, place them with the
heart side up, and all of the tips
pointing in the same direction. When
grains from all the ears have been
placed in the square which correspond
to the number Of the ear from which
they were taken, place another piece
of wet cloth on top of them and cover
this with 2 to 8 inches of wet sawdust.
Then place the box in some place
where it will remain warm. At the
end of four days dampen the sawdust
again by springling some warm wat
er over it. At the end OF week the
teeter should be examined by careful
~ removing the sawdust and top
cloth. The numbers Of all squares
which do not show six big healthy
sprouts should be ascertained, and
tho ears which have the correspond
ing numbers should not be planted.

Kinards Circuit.
| Christian Advocate.

Southern Christian Advocate.
Dear Brother Nettles: Kinards is
fast coming to the front as one of
the best circuits in the conference.
She now stands second only to Saluda
and Ninety Six. Having come the
past two years from foot among the
circuits of the Cokesbury district tc
third among the circuits shows the
spirit of the Methodists we have on
Kinards circuit. They raised the SAL
ary last year a little over 5000 and
paid it in full with S73 surplus, and
also a nice surplus On conference as
sessments. We also made improve
ments in churches, etc., to the amount
of $500; twenty-five accessions to the
church; and a good number accept
ing the terms Of salvation.
We have begun new year with
high hopes of another successful year.
The stewards met last Tuesday and
raised the salary over another hum
dred dollars, passing the $500 mark
and coming third circuit in the dis
trict. Besides the above salary the
people are very kind to us. They be-
gin pounding with the year and end
with the beginning of another with
ham, flour, and other good things. We
also. have four acres Of very fertile
land, that produces well, which adds
to the salary at least 500.
Kinards has raised in salary over
so per cent. in the last two years
We were on the honor roll last year
on all lines (Advocate included) and
expect to hold our place this year.
Come to see us and see people
who do things.

COUNCILMAN STOYER.

Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir-I wish TO use the columns Of
your paper to talk to the Wilmington
taxpayers a little about Councilman
Storer Of the Seventh ward. Not much,
because we know Il is a tiresome sub
ject. but Just a little. Be it known at
the outset that Mr. Stover is a Will
mington Terminal Company river
front enthusiast. There is no stock
holder in the Wilmington Terminal
Company the Edge Moor Iron Com
pany, or the National Dredging Com
pany. who is more wildly enthusiastic
for putting through the river front
plan OF the Wilmington Terminal
Company than this excited and per-
turbed Councilman. He could not be
more enthusiastic had he been elected
to the Office he now holds by the votes
of the Wilmington Terminal Com
pany. the Edge Moor Iron Company
and the National Dredging Company.
instead of by the votes of Wilmington
taxpayers. For man who has abso-
lutely no pecuniary interest in plan
that holds out such golden promises
to some of those who are advocating
it. he is an abnormally enthusiastic
advocate of its adoption.
I say these things so the taXpay-
ers of Wilmington may have a clearer
conception of what follows. A public
hearing was held in the City Hall on
Wednesday night The City Council
men sat as a committee of the whole
TO hear the arguments of taxpayers
for and against the Wilmington Ter
minal Company'e river front plan
Councilman, Slower was there. He sat
as one Of the judges to hear argument
and pass upon one of the most inn
portant questions that ever has con-
| fronted the taxpayers of our city. II
was noticed that he applauded those
who spoke in favor of the river front
/ scheme and that he frowned with dis
pleasure when those opposed to
/ il were speaking II was a feature OF
the meeting that was commented
upon by several persons who were
there. The question was asked WHY
when sitting as a judge. Councilman
Stover should deem It to be incum-
bent upon him to clap his hands in ap-
proyal of those who spoke on one side
of the case that was being presented
and to manifest his disapproval OF
those who spoke on the other side OF
It.
What would a taxpayer think If, IN
a court of justice where an important
case was being tried, one of the judges
should so far forget himself as to re-
sort to hand-clapping and other signs
OF approval of the lawyers on one
side and manifest resentment wher
lawyers and others spoke on the othel
side OF the questions in dispute? How
long would such judge be permitted
10 sit in the case?
Such conduct on the mart OF Coun
Gilman Stover. ! think. is worthy thu
serious attention of the taxpayers VIII,
elected him to represent them and L
protect their interests in City Coun
Gil. It is useless for Councilman Sto
yer to plead that he did not do what 4
alleged above. There are living wit
nesses. who were in the Counci
chamber. 10 prove it. The question ma
turally presents itself. was he the vic
tim of mental suggestion. or did h
realize what he was doing?

MAY NOT SELL

There has been a great deal of talk
and many rumors of the sale of the
property of the East Side Republican
Club, No. 9O4 King street, but the
five or six offers made for the prop
erty by would-be purchasers have not
been accepted One Of the offers is
said to have been made by the Young
Women's Christian Association which
owns adjoining property. but this
seems to have fallen through. At the
meeting of the board of directors Of
the club on the first Tuesday evening
in June another project will be laid
before the board and may be adop-
ted. II is that of remodelling the
property and the scheme includes ex-
tending the present building through
to French street. Whether this will
be adopted or not will be decided at
that meeting.
A member Of the board said today
that the new scheme appealed favor
ably to his views and that he would
rather see that done than the proE-
erty sold and the club join with the
Young Mems Republican Club.
