made most important, while the out

Still, there is nothing elaborate about

ORGANIZED ICE cLuRs.

A number of communities in South
eastern Kansas have made the hot
summer much more bearable by or
ganizing ice clubs. H. ]. Bower, farm
demonstration agent in that section,
reports to the Kansas Agricultural
College that there are number of
these cooperative clubs in Cherokee
and Labette counties Every mem
Der takes his turn going to town for
ice and delivering it to the members
of the club The ice is cut into 800
pound pieces and packed into the wag-
on bed at Is cents a cut. Ordinarily
equal quantities of ice are delivered
to each member. If an extra quantity
is desired by a member or a neighbor
not member, an established rate Is
charged. One of these clubs has
twelve members.

SEED CORN WILL BE SCARCE NEXT YEAR

(By C. c. Cunningham, Assistan
Because of the drouth, very little
corn fit for seed will be produced in
Kansas this season. With the lex-
ception of few favored localities the
majority of the corn planted next sea-
son will have to come from one of
two sources; namely, shipped in
from the Eastern states, or from 1912
crop. Extensive experiments cover
ing a period of nine years in which
Kansas grown seed of a number of
varieties of corn were compared with
the seed of the same variety intro
duced from other states show that
the introduced seed was not as pro-
ductive as the Kansas grown corn by
eight bushels to the acre. This would
mean that if all of the corn planted in
Kansas was obtained from the sources
from which the seed in these tests
were secured, the Kansas crop would
be reduced sixteen million bushels.
Results obtained in the Co-opera-
tive Experiments conducted through
out the state during the last four
years, show conclusively that home
grown seed of any given variety OF
corn is better than that introduced
from other parts of the state, other
things being equal
The 1912 crop of corn grown in
the locality in which the seed is to
be planted will in all probability be
the best source of seed corn for next
season. The corn produced In 1912
was much above the average in vi
tality. If it was properly stored and
kept in a good dry condition, there
will be no question but that it will
have sufficient vitality to make good
seed. In the cooperative variety
tests of corn conducted in 1912, seed
Tor the variety that MAIDS the second
best average yield was from the 1910
crop.
Farmers who have 1912 corn on
hand are urged to save as much of 1t
as Is fit for seed purposes. Every

ear that is well developed and con-
tains a desirable lot of kernels should
be saved even though it may be lit
tie small for what is usually consid-
cred good seed corn. Such seed will
be preferable to that shipped in from
other states.
The seed corn situation is going to
be a serious one next spring. Every
farmer who has Kansas grown corn
should consider it his duty to market.

When going into building project
there are three considerations Of i'm
portance that present themselves. In
the first place there Is the design or
outward appearance Of the structure.
next the arrangement OF the dwelling
inside for comfort and convenience.
and last the cost of the building.
There Is apt to be a wide range OF
choice in regard to the first factor
the design or outward appearance Of
the house. This is matter to be de-
cided according to the taste OF the
owner and the requirements OF the
building site. It Is proverbial that
tastes differ widely; 30 there can be
no definite fixed requirements along
that line. Also the needs OF different
locations vary greatly. 1t has been
said that we plan the outside Of our
houses to please the neighbors, or to
make a brave show from the street.
Accordingly this first factor. that Of
outward appearance, may at times be
of very little real importance, although
OF course everyone would prefer to
live in as attractive dwelling place
as possible.
All things considered, the interior Of
residence is far more important than
the exterior. Real satisfaction in a
home comes from the comfortable,

raised by adding to it some stronger

ment recently made that there is only
one town by the name of Valdosta N
this country has caused many people
to wonder where Valdosta received its
name. Many people believe that the
city was named after some individual.
AS matter of fact it was named af-
ter a town and valley by the name
Of Val-de-Aosta, in Italy. 1t is the
place where Napoleons army camped
before the battle of Waterloo In its
day it was one of the most up-to-datc
towns in Italy and the splendid roads
bridges and castles are still standing
to show what it was in days gone by.

by Lenoran Deleon, who was editor OF
