SEED CORN TEST
is PROFITABLE
DEMONSTRATED At THE STATE
COLLEGE THAT TESTING WILL
... PAY FARMER.

Ames, Feb 1s.-An average of 25.6
cents per acre spent in testing seed
corn brought an average net gain OF
1896 per acre in termination test of
seed corn Investigation at Iowa state
college the results Of which have just
been made public. Testing seed corn
In 1910 brought an Increase Of profits
Of 1916 per cent. and in 1911 Of s5.7 per
cent over INFESTED corn.
The results recorded in an exhaus-
Iowa experiment station during nearly
three years, and in which $4,000 sep
arate ear tests readings were made,
show that there Is no other farm prac-
tice on corn belt farms which will give
so large returns in dollars and cents as
seed corn testing.
1t is the selection of seed corn from
the standpoint Of the yielding power
Of the individual ears rather than the
per cent Of stand that increases the
total yield. A 100 per cent stand will
not necessarily yield twice as much as
a so per cent stand. The investigation
showed that while there is marked
relationship between per cent of stand
in the field and the yield, yet the in
crease in yield is not proportionate to
the increase in stand.
The rag doll' tester. which can be
made at home by the farmer at cost
of 10 cents, proved to be as efficient
in getting an accurate termination
test as the more expensive manufac-
tured testers which cost from 80 cents
to $50. The rag doll" tested seed
corn at a cost Of 14.4 cents per acre.
Other testers cost from 25.2 cents to
SIG cents per acre. It was found that
some of the testers discarded a large
amount of valuable seed corn.

The Fly
A Generous Judge.

Lord Blackburn was one Of the most
conscientious men that ever melted
out justice on the bench. Not long
after his appointment as a Judge he
was trying an action in which the
plaintiff sought TO recover damages
for an injury that had caused him the
loss Of an eye.
The counsel for the plaintiff, dwell
ing on the seriousness of the injury
to his client, spoke Of it as blighting
his career.
Il have lost the sight of an eye,
Mr.. ," interposed Mr.. Justice
Blackburn, "and it has not blighted
my career"
The jury, not unaffected by the
judges remark, awarded the plaintiff
but trifing damages.
Blackburn was conscience stricken.
He thought it over, and the next day
he sent the plaintiff a check for $3.50
