responding to that square is unsafe
for planting and should be thrown
out. From twelve to fifteen ears are
required to plant an acre. AS a gem
eral thing, three or four ears out of
every dozen are shown by the Rag
Baby test to be too weak for plant
ing. Consequently when only
enough ears to plant one acre are to
be tested, it is advisable to use a
longer piece of cloth and to mark off
twenty squares, an upper and a low
er row of ten each. Out of the twen-
ty it is likely that enough good ears
will be found to plant an acre
1t is important to take good care
of the ears after they have been test
ed, and it is better not to do the test
ing until two or three weeks before
planting time. In shelling the test
ed ears it is considered best to re-
move the small or irregular kernels
at each end, as these kernels do not
usually germinate and grow as well
as those in the middle, and their
irregular shape also prevents uni
form dropping in the planter
There are three reasons why
teachers, especially in the rural
schools, should be interested in seed
corn testing as school exercise: 1t
furnishes an easy and interesting
study in seed termination and plant
growth; the extended use of a good
method has vast economic value in
improving the productiveness of
American agriculture, and the teach
ing of it in the rural schools eXerts
a strong influence toward increasing
the confidence of the parents in the
permanent worth of good school
work. The teacher who once begins
intelligently to try some simple exer-
cises in agricultural nature study
will not long be left in doubt as to
the responsive interest which she
can awaken in any kind of produc-
tive school work. Children love to
do things-especially things that are
obviously useful. And they need
only judicious direction in order to
turn this instinct into various forms
of self-education, which is the only
kind that sticks.
1t is recommended that each school
have seed testing contests, with suit
able prizes for the boys and girls.
When the Rag Baby method has been
taught, the children are requested
to go to fathers, brothers, or to
neighbors who have no children, and
ask for enough ears of corn to make
Rag Baby test These ears are to
be selected by the farmers according
to their best judgment They are
also supposed to become the part
ners' of the children to whom they
have given the corn. In this way
each farmer is pitted against his
neighbor as to his ability to pick
good seed corn. This re-doubles his
interest.
After the Rag Babies are prepared
they are kept at school until ready

WYOMING CONFERENCE
AT WILKES-BARRE.

Wilkes-Barre, April 17.-Follow-
ing the opening of the sixty-second
conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal ministers of the Wyoming dis
trict, Bishop Joseph F. Berry, D. D.,
LII. D., who is presiding, announced
that he had brought with him from
Philadelphia Rev. DR.. Munhall, a not
ed evangelist, who will speak each
morning at S:15 in the First M. E.
church on Franklin street, where the
conference is being held. He ex-
planned that these sermons by the
evangelist will be an extension of the
campaign recently waged by Rev.
BILLY" Sunday, and that the public
would be admitted.
The sessions opened Wednesday
morning at o'clock and the sacra-
ment of the Lords supper was ad-
ministered to the ministers and the
Christian folk present. The sacra-
ment was administered by the four
district superintendents of the Wyo-
ming conference, Rev. L. G. Muir
dock, D. D., Rev. H. G. McDermott, d.
D., Rev. j. A. Hensey, D. D., Rev. O..
S. Severson, D. D., assisted by Rev.
Charles E. Guthrie, pastor of the
church where the conference is be-
ing held.
At the request of Bishop Berry,
DR.. Munhall, of Philadelphia, who is
to carry on the evangelistic work
during the conference week, describ-
ed the tankard used during the COM
munion service, which was of un-
usual historical interest. The recep-
tacle was used in the first Methodist
conference ever held in America,
which was in Philadelphia in 1878,
in the house of Hannah Burke. Rev.
Francis Asbury was the first Ameri-
can bishop, and he presided over the
little conference that numbered nine
members. The tankard is now the
property of Attorney e. A. Smith of
Philadelphia, relative of the bis
hop.
AS preliminary to the conference
there was held Monday and Tuesday
evening in First M. e. church exam
nations of candidates for the minis
try and double anniversary session
of the board of Sunday schools and
Epworth leagues. The examinations
were conducted during the day in
the Sunday school building, the an
niversary observance last night in

e. B. Singer, of Sherbune, N. Y,
president of the conference Epworth
leagues, conducted the evening meet
ing. The speaker was Rev. L. G.
Hartman of Chicago, a member OF
the national M. e. board of Sunday
schools.

to be examined. A day is chosen for
this, and as they are unrolled one by
one the score of each is kept on a
sheet of paper, with the name of the
child and his man partner at the
top. Each ear is marked according
to the results shown by the test.
Good" Weak" and Dead" Ten
points may be allowed for each ker-
mel that shows strong terminating
power, or a maximum of sixty points
for any one square in which all of
the kernels are strong. In the same
way five points may be allowed for
each weak kernel, while the dead
ones are marked zero. The winners
are decided by adding up all the
points. In every case the score
cards should be taken home by the
children and shown to their partners.
The latter are requested to substi-
tute good ears for the bad ones and
then final test is held at which all
of the farmers are invited to be
present.
Carrying out the plan still further,
this acre which has been tested in
school should be planted and har-
vested in partnership, and introduced
in the corn contests the following
spring as a joint produce of the man
and child.
An acre of corn if planted in
check rows, hills three feet and six
inches apart, has 1856 hills; and,
with three stalks to the hills, con-
tains 10,66S stalks. If one stalk in
each hill produces a ten-ounce ear,
the yield per acre will be 31.7 bush
els. The overage yield in the United
States is but twenty-six bushels.
From this it will easily be seen that
on the average two stalks out of each
hill do not produce ears at all or are
missing. What is immensely more
important than large ears is a field
of corn in which every stalk pro-
duces a good eight or ten ounce ear.
Three eight-ounce ears per hill will
practically triple the present average
yield. If care is taken in selecting
only choice ears, and then testing
them, long strides will be made in
increasing corn yields.-Rural Life.

end of the ear is sound, while the
other will not grow.
A like number of kernels are TAX
en- from ear No. and placed in the
square marked 2, and so on until all
the squares have been filled. After
this is done the cloth is again mois-
tened by sprinkling and then careful
ly rolled up to avoid displacing the
kernels. Then tie a string around
the center of the roll, just tight
enough to hold the kernels in place.
After preparing one or more Rag
Babies in this manner place them in
a bucket or pail of warm, but not
scalding water. A ten quart pail will
hold ten or fifteen rolls. They
should not be packed in too tight.
After standing for three or four
hours the water is poured off and the
pail wrapped in plenty of old news
papers.
In about two days the newspapers
should be removed, the pail again
filled with warm water and left to
stand for five or ten minutes. The
water is then drained off as before
and the covering of newspapers re
placed. 1t is very important to see
that the rolls are not allowed to
freeze. If left in a cold room over
night they should be protected with
extra coverings.
In seven or eight days the sprouts
will be about two inches long and
the Rag Babies are then carefully
unrolled for examination. The good
and the bad seed can be distinguish
ed at glance. If one kernel out of

City Council Has Adopted
Ordinance

The speed bug of the railways will
have its wings nipped by the Americus
city coupcil when an ordinance adop :
ed at the recent meeting of that BODY,
regulating the speed of trains going
over street crossings in Americus IS
adopted. The ordinance will become a
law after its final adoption by council
on the oath inst.
The ordinance as introduced AMI
read first time requires all trains OPP
Grating through the city of Americas
to reduce speed to six miles an hou.
while going over crossings, which
practically means speed no greater
than that while running through the
city,
For any violation of this ordinance
the conductor and engineer are subject
to trial in the recorders court here as
for a misdemeanor.
Quite recently number of accidents
have resulted at street crossings in
Americas wherein automobiles and
Locomotives have mixed it up to the
great detriment of the autos, and the
ordinance is intended to prevent sucn
occurrences by having the speed OF
trains reduced to the point where they
may quickly be stopped when an acct
dent is pending.
The ordinance will be read the sec
end time at the next meeting of coun-
Gil, after which it will be adopted and
enforced.
