Seed Corn for Next Year

There is scarcely year In which
tanners do not have IA seed corn
problem. At first sight the render
will say: We can not possibly have
IA seed corn problem this year. The
unusual heat IN all sections 81 the

until there Is no danger of its being
caught by frost. BY husking time

ordinarily be next spring All of
which Is true; nut how ahout the
farmers In the druHth stricken see.
tons? Tn many places there is no
corn at all, aud in other places sim
ply nubbns, poorly developed and
unfit for seed
The answer OF some viii! be that
there will be plenty Of good, sound
corn elsewhere, and il can hc shipped
in True, but the experience of
farmers, and the experiments at the
stations, have shown that no corn
shipped into IA country does rs well
as corn Of the same quality that was
grown in the section. In other
words, corn gradually adapts itself
To its environment Any corn
brought in from another environ
mcut will not do its best, will not,
in fact, feel at home for two or three
years.
What, then, are the farmers in the
drOuth stricken sections to do for
seed corn? They can do one Of two
things. They can either take their
chances ON corn shipped in, which
is mighty long chance at best, or
they can use corn IF 1917 for the
planting OF 1914.
We advise our readers in those
sections tO.do the latter, and to go
about il at once. For the first thing
you know, every crib of old corn o
good quality In the neighb lrhOod
will he bought up and shipped to
seodsmen In the cities, and then
shipped back, perhaps sometimes to
the same neighborhood, but not Of
ten. Therefore, the salvation of the
farmer in the drOuthstricken sec
lions Is to secure as soon as pos
sible old sound corn with strong
terminating quality, and put it
away for seed for next spring, TAX
ing care that il Is not exposed to
moisture or frost, or mice or vermin
OF any kind. BY doing so he will go
far to guarantee good corn crop in
1914.
In the extreme north of the corn
belt rains seem TO have been abund.
ant, but there is the danger of freez-
ing. The probability is that this
great drouth will break up in vio-
lent manner; and it may he followed
by storms and freezing that will
catch this late corn. Therefore, we
advise our readers in the northern
sections not to wait till October to
select their seed corn, but to select
it as soon as well dented, dry it out
thoroughly, and keep II dry. The
corn crop of 1914 will be largely de-
termined by the care that farmers
take of the seed corn Of that year;
and there is no time to lose In TAX
ing care of II, whether you buy 1t or
select your wn.-Wallace's Farmer.

that several persons out along Little

sells from the river for the shells -,
and the shells are secured by wading
about in the water, sometimes to
the waist; among the waders he saw
two women.
The shells are shipped out in car.

them get $500 per ton and hustler

The section on Fifth avenue between TWEEN.
ty-third street and Fiftyninth street is bound
soon to be lined with business structures. Let
these business structures be sanitary, beautiful
and safe and limited In height Let us not

there should be a limitation 20 the height of

limitation is an urgent necessity because it
wifi help to diminish the danger from infec-
tious and deadly diseases, and. last but not
least, from death by fires.
Fifth avenue is perhaps now and surely
will be In the future, the street most eagerly
sought by strangers visiting the city. In the
past II has been admired for its beautiful
buildings. which were low for It's width as a
thoroughfare, and for the light and air which
spell health and beauty. Is all this to be
changed because Of thoughtlessness or greed?
While would leave the details of regulating
the height Of buildings to the many architects
and experts who feel as do In this matter
there are certain principles that recommend
themselves to common sense. The first rule
is that no buildings should be higher than the

and clerks receive as a rule.
Carefully gathered statistics show that in
the city Of New York the garment workers
afflicted more frequently with tuberculosis
than any other class of workers. The majority
of these workers do not as is often thought

disseminate the germs of tuberculosis by
coughing in their neighbors' faces or over the
clothing they manufacture or, what Is still
more frequent, spread the disease by careless
expectoration on the floor. During luncheon
hour they crowd streets and avenues, and
those afflicted with the disease expectorate

cause they are directly responsible for
the spread of tuberculosis.

law before it interferes too greatly with vest
ed interests, and therefore before it becomes
impracticable.

cities beauty as we'll as of public health.
I have already placed before the Height of

sons which l advance for checking the building
of skyscrapers l hope that l shall be able
to bring many New Workers. to my point of
view.
tall building, fifteen to twenty stories
nigh, with all the modern improvements and
convenences and sufficient fire protection, sit
ueted on a public square, park or playground,
which does not take away the light or air OF
neighboring buildings, is monument to mans
ingenuity and architectural skill. The same
building no matter how handsomely built, sit
uated in narrow street with buildings close
to 1t on either side or at the front or rear, so
that those living in less high buildings are de-
prived of light and air, is a manifestation of
mans thoughtlessness or. what is worse sell
6shness and greed.
