TEST YOUR SEED CORN.

Jno. r. Fain, Professor Of Agronomy.
Inquiry-When and how would you
test seed corn?
Since this is the season Of the year
when farmers can find more time
than others, it is good time to carry
on termination tests. Prepare boxes
or hot bed, use sand preferably as a
seed bed, plant from to 10 grains Of
corn from each ear to be tested, TAX
ing the grains from various points on
the ear; keep temperature, if posi-
BILE, above 60 degrees. Before plant
ing be sure to properly mark the ears
and the rows planted with grains
therefrOm. A good way to mark the
ears is to take a small nail and fasten
a piece of cardboard to each ear by
driving nail in the butt Of the ear.
On this board place a number cores
ponding to a number placed at the
head of the row.
Let the terminated corn grow long
enough to develop a root system
Discard all ears showing less than so
per cent termination. Examine the
remainder to see which show the best
root development, dicarding those
showing the poorest. The corn plants
should have not only primary root
but at least three secondary roots.
1t is better to select an ear that
shows so per cent. termination and
so per cent. root development than to
select an ear with 100 per cent, ger
minat4ua and 60 per cent root devel-
opment.
Do not plant single ear which you
have not thus tested. 1t will take on
ly a short time. From 10 to IA ears
of corn will plant an acre and, of
course, it will take no great time nor

Along the line of menaCes to
health, in this instance to that of
children, it does not seem out of
place to call the attention of mothers
to an article recently published by
the State Board of Health on the
subject of whooping cough. 1t
warns parents against making the
mistake of regarding this as a trivial
disease. stating that it causes every
year in the United States nearly or
quite as many deaths as scarlet fever
and almost half as many deaths as
diptheria. This article states, as We
all know. that the danger of whoop-
ing cough lies mainly in the compli-
cations which follow the disease more
than in the disease itself, often lead
ing to pneumonia of a fatal type.
Because of the fact that the seri-
business of this disease has not been
understood by parents the strenuous
and protective efforts for stamping
it out have not been resOrted to as
i'm the case of smallpox, scarlet fever
and other contagious or infectious
diseases. Let us remember this warn
ing from the Board of Health and
profit thereby, for the knowledge of
danger is the surest way of guarding
against it.

BY President

The Georgia State College of Agri,
culture has succeeded in developing
through selection, strain Of cotton
which is practically resistant to anth-
racnose, a fungus disease now esti-
mated to be damaging Georgia cotton
to the eXent Of about $10,000,000 a
year.
AS fast as the growth of this SUI
perior strain of cotton can be pushed,
the seed will be distributed through
out the state for the advantage of the
farmers.
At present only a limited amount of
seed can be sent out and then only by
agreement to grow it under the terms
laid down by the college, the purpose
being to hasten the widespread ad-
vantage of growing this cotton.

Enjoy Yourself and Ignore Diet Tables,
Says Sir George Birdwood.

Sir George Birdwood, officer of the
Legion of Honor, laureate of the French
academy and formerly professor of
anatomy and physiology at Bombay,
has contributed at the age of eighty
his views on how to reach a ripe old
age His maxims are:
Don't think about your health.
Enjoy yourself as much as possible.
Ignore dietary tables.
Eat whenever you feel inclined.
Look on the bright side Of things
Sir George is particularly scornful
about the diet ON which another con
tributor to the discussion thrives-
namely, two meals of eggs, bread and
butter daily.

WIRELESS PHONE A SUCCESS.
Harvard Professor Sends Sound OF
Voice Thirty-fi five Miles.


Assistant Professor G. w. Pierce of
the department of physics at Harvard
has devised a new wireless telephone
instrument which may eventually reVo-
Iutionize the methods Of long distance
communication. The new instrument
has already received the hearty in
dorsement of John Hays Hammond, Jr.
Professor Pierce was the guest OF MT.
Hammond at his Gloucester laboratory
at Fresh Water Cove recently, where
n series of experiments was conducted
with the new apparatus.
The wireless power was concentrated
about fifty feet above sea level. by
means of the new instrument Professor
Pierce got into communication with
the Harvard Wireless club, thirty-tlve
miles away. and talked with several OF
the club members for 4 space covering
fifteen minutes.

STATE COLLEGE "AGRICOLTVRE
COTTON RESISTANT TO ANTHRACNOSE
Andrew M. SouIe.

+ Reports received by the College
from various parts of Georgia show
widespread loss during this year, due
especially to the unusually wet grow
ing season. The fungus known as
anthracnose, thrives especially during
moist weather.
The seed to be planted next season
should be selected from plants which
have withstood the disease and pc
fore planting, the formaldehyde treat
ment should be given to destroy the
spore of the fungus that IS doubtless
frequently carried to new fields IN

The stalks of affected plants should
be burned, and it is better to plant
some other crop in the field for two

SEX HYGIENE IN
zION'S SCHOOLS

Salt Lake. April 90 Abolition OF
all sex education in the public
schools was advocated by q delega-
ton Of local club women who met
with the board Of education last night
They laid before the board q petition
to that effect signed by ninety-six
women.
Mrs. G. e. Allen, spokesman for
the delegation, submitted the petition
and read to the board lengthy paper
outlining the reasons for the stand
taken by the club women, the princi-
pal argument Of which was that the
problem of sex and morals are the
exclusive province Of parents. Any
attempt to handle them in the public
schools was an offensive invasion Of
the sacred right Of the home she
said.
The object OF the club women's
protest Is the department maintained
at the high school for the advising Of
young girls in matters pertaining to
their physical welfare. 1t is presided
over BY Mrs. Martha B. Jennings.
who holds the title Of school matron.
Though protesting to have no per.
sonal grievance against Mrs. Jen.
nings, Mrs. Allen declared that the
matron Is promulgating dangerous
doctrine Of her own among the girls
under her supervision.
When Mrs. Allen had finished
reading her paper, Mrs. Addela
Eardly and Mrs. H. J. Hayward came
Mrs. Jennings. She said she had in
terviewed a number Of high school
girls and all Of them had spoken high
ly Of Mrs. Jennings. None Of them
had said they were shocked by the
teachings of Mrs. Jennings Ms Mrs.
Allen had set out, she said. Mrs.
Eardley and RS. H. J. Hayward came
to the meeting representing an OPP
posite faction Of the club women who
do not agree with the proposal to abb
olish sex education.
In her paper, Mrs. Allen took the
stand that the free dissemination of
knowledge pertaining to sexual mat.
tiers was injurious to the young no
matter in what spirit It was given
nor how carefully the subjects were
handled. She insisted that reticence
and inviolate modesty were the only
sure safeguards for young girls in
these matters. knowledge Of these
subjects tended to destroy modesty
and to breed h dangerous familiarity

He never used public cup,
He always Stunned the misses

Would put on gloves of rubber.
