Tom Evans has always been con sistent booster for Phoenix. His heart has always been with the progress of the city, but now that he has real interest here, it naturally follows that he will be still more enthusiastic. Phoenix is better adapted to his needs than any other place where he has ever lived. It is centrally located with re- spect to the territory he travels, and it's climatic advantages make 1t still more desirable.

THE FARMER WHO KNEW,

National Crop Improvement Service.l
An old-time farmer was examining
the collection of ears being tested at
the Wulfekuhler state bank at Leav.
enworth, Kan.
Il can tell good seed corn just by
the looks and feel of it," said he
There's what call a good ear for
seed"
Mr.. Wulfekuhler took the number
OF the ear and then turned to the
tester and located the square In which
the test kernels from this particular
ear had been planted. They had not
sprouted.
THAT just shows" said Mr.. Wulfe
kuhler, what we are up against The
great trouble is that most all of these
farmers do not believe what we tell
them. They still think they can pick
grain by looking at it. That think
of theirs will cost the United States
a hundred million dollars this year"

HAVE A HEALTHY SKIN.
Wonderful Discovery That Quickly
Clears the Skin.

Don't envy every complexion you
see, and wish for something that
would give to your skin the flush and
beauty of youth, but go today and
secure a jar of Hokara, the cream
that acts with nature in restoring
skins to their normal health and
beauty.
Hokara is entirely different from
ordinary preparations, as it contains
no grease, lead or mercury, is anti
septic and healing, and possesses cur
ative properties that exert a remark
able and quick action on any form
of skin blemish or trouble, no matter
how severe.
A good way to test Hokara is to
wash the face or hands thoroughly,
then apply little Hokara to the face
or hands and rub until it rolls out.
The amount of dead black skin and
dirt that come out will make you
think your skin was never clean be-
fore.
People who have had skin troubles
for thirty years have found almost
instant relief and complete cure in
Hokara.

The SAWDUST BOX
TERMINATION TEST
POPULAR METHOD FOR TESTING
LARGE QUANTITIES OF SEED.

Making the Test.-There are sew
eraI excellent seed corn testers on
the market. Probably no method is
better suited to all conditions than
what is known as the sawdust ger
mination box method, which is briefly
described as follows:-
Getting Ready-Make a box three
to four inches deep and 30x30 inches
in dimensions. Fill the box about half
full of moist sawdust well pressed
down so as to leave a smooth, even
surface. The sawdust should be put
in a gunny sack and set in a tub of
warm water for at least an hour (or
still better, over night) so that it will
be thoroughly moistened before u.s.
ing. Rule off a piece of good white
cloth (sheeting) about the size Of the
box, into squares, checker-board fash
ion, two and one-half inches each way.
Number the squares 1, 2, 3, etc. Place
the cloth on the sawdust and tack 1t
to the box at the corners and edges.
Lay out the ears to be tested side by
side on planks, tables, or on the floor,
remove one kernel from near the butt,
middle and tip Of the ear; turn the
ear over and remove three kernels
from the opposite side in like manner,
making six kernels in all, thus secur-
ing a sample from the entire ear.
Place the six kernels at the end Of the
ear from which they are taken. Use
care that the kernels do not get mixed
with those from the ear next to it.
After the kernels are removed, boards
may be laid over the rows of ears
to keep them in plce until the result
of the termination is known. Place the
kernels from the ear of corn No.
In square No. 1 of the termination
box; from ear No. in square No. 2;
and so on with all the ears. Lay a
piece Of good cloth on top of the ker-
nels and dampen it by sprinkling wa
ter over 1t. Then place over this a
cloth considerably larger than the box
and fill in on top Of this about two
inches of moist sawdust and pack it

squares and the cloth which is laid

Leave at least two inches margin

Rule the cloth on in large squares

Never use the box the second time
without first thoroughly scalding both
the cloths and sawdust. (The cloth
should be untacked and the sawdust
removed to do this.)

ENGLISH BOYS HAVE LOST
ART OF PLAYING AT SCHOOL
So Many Children Forced to Labor
They Are Dull.

That boys are losing the art of play
ing is deduction to be drawn from
the numbers of juvenile workers in
Lancashire (England towns. Owing
to a shortage of labor many boys of
school age are said to be working for
hours before school in the morning,
during the dinner interval and then
again at night.
Il have seen children fall asleep at
their desks" said Robert Henderson,

fed Glass Teachers association.

DEPTH TO PLow FOR CORN.

National Crop Improvement Service.I
What is known as deep plowing is
generally not advisable in the corn
belt, although the loose soils and bot
tom lands may be plowed much deep
or than the black prairie soils with
less danger of bad results. There is
seldom any advantage in plowing more
than six inches deep either In spring
or fall. If ground is to be plowed
deeper than formerly It should be
done in the fall. On heavy soils the
bad effects Of too deep plowing II
