In every instance the native or
home grown varieties have outyiolded
the introduced varieties. In most
cases the introduced varieties were
not obtained from without the state
but were simply taken from one part
of the state to another. Had the i'm
ported varieties been secured from
without the state greater difference
in favor OF the home grown varieties
would lave resulted.
Let us consider one of the typical
tests. Mr. J. J. Johnson OF Eldorado.
kas., Butler county. grew, in 1912,
four varieties Of corn in his test. the
seed OF which was secured from near
home, and thirteen other varieties Sc
cured from different parts Of the
state. The introduced varieties we're
as good. or II anything superior to the
native varieties, hut the native vari-
cites made an average yield Of 500
bushels per acre. while the average
OF the introduced varieties was only
37.5 bushels per acre. The introduced
varieties were not adapted to Mr..
Johnson's soil or climatic conditions
and it would have required two or
three years to adapt them. Had Mr..
johnson in 1912 planted a general
held OF 100 acres with seed OF the In.
troduced varieties instead Of seed OF
home grown varieties he would have
produced l.3iO bushels less corn.

yield as great as these tests have in.

whole could afford.

CREDIT GIVEN TO THE WIFE
Good and Sufficient Reasons Why Mar
rled Man Lives Longer Than
the Bachelor.

II is q good thing for q man to have
a wife to look after his ingolngs and
outcomings-to enforce regularity In
his mode OF living-to see that he Is
clothed according to the requirements
Of the temperature, and takes his UNI
brella when there is likelihood OF
showers, and gets good meals at stated
hours.
Jacques Bertillon, the French expert
on occupational mortality. has found
that low death rates occur particularly
in occupations in which the workman
is under more or less supervision as
regards not only health but also habits
OF life, and in which he is surrounded
by influences tending to prevent dis
sipation, and conducive to regular
hours and regular habits. Bank clerks
and fiduciary employees who feel their
responsibilities are types OF this. Ber-
tillon attributes much the same infiu-
ence to marriage and family life. The
married man is supervised for his own
good, and, having added incentives to
self-restraint and to the care OF his
health, he has lower mortality than
the bachelor.-Journal Of the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

sequently obtained the next season.
During the summer of 1912 the
Agronomy Department OF the Kansas
State Agricultural College conducted
number Of corn variety tests with
farmers In different parts of the state,
and in these tests we used seed from
both the 1910 and 1911 crops. In
most OF these tests the seed from the
1910 crop not only terminated better,
but produced better yields than were
obtained from the seed grown in 1911.
1t would appear from this experiment
that it would be safer for the average
farmer Of this state to depend next
year upon seed saved from 1912 than
to attempt to use inferior seed OF this
seasons crop. In few favored sec.
tions uf the state fair crop has been
produced; this seed. OF course. should
be used when it is known to be OF
good quality.
We were fortunate in 1912 in hav-
ing produced crop Of corn Of ex'

HEALTHY COLTS WITHOUT FEEDING OATS

Strong, healthy draft horses can be

IN this test the colts that have had
no oats are in better condition than
those which ate this feed, and have
made q little better gain. More than
this. the combination ration OF corn,

less than the oat ration.

colts were divided into two lots, with

the majority Of cases the basis oil

be traced to the action OF the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily

whatever the particular cause may be
It is important that the condition
should be corrected.
