He has asked the teachers to take

how far apart the rows of corn are

Three Frepch agricultural scientists
determined that the potato must be re-

only by growing new race from seed.
They found this a difficult and weari.

before plants grown from seed de-

In the spring Of 1911 they obtained
sixty plants which in the autumn de-
veloped tubers Of varying size. averag-
ing the size Of hazel nut, while few
weighed as high as five ounces and
were eatable. These larger potatoes
were carefully kept and planted in
1912 They produced. vigorous plants
that seemed proof against all the dis
eases from which those all around
them were suffering.
Each clump yielded very large. po-
tatoes, averaging from eight to nine
pounds to the clump. One Of the tubers
grown from seed in 1912 sent up in
1913 eight clumps bearing sixty-four
potatoes, weighing together more than
eighteen pounds. The crop Of 1913,
grown from seed with the aid Of the
fungi, was much better than that Of
1911.
It was by working along somewhat
similar lines back in the early seven.

RoMInY CORN CLUB
A Plan for Improving White Corn TO,
Human Food.

National Crop improvement. service.l
At every meeting Of farmers you
will find quite large proportion who
prefer growing white rather than vel.
low corn; but as q rule, the quality
Of the white corn has been steadily
going down until the white corr. which
Is now received on the market is fre.
Quently badly damaged and must be
thrown into feed grades. which sell
for i've cents under the price Of white
corn used for human consumption in
COIN meal, hominy and grits. White
corn which weighs SIS or Sc pounds
pei bushel is worth from one to three
cents more than yellow corn Of the
same quality, a. q general rule.
No man can improve both his vel.
low corn and his white corn IL they
are planted within reach Of each
others pollen. Therefore. it is suS
gested that the friends Of white cora
form hominy club and grow white
corn exclusively, breeding it up to
its highest efficiency. The agronomy
department at your state college will
undoubtedly help you establish fine
tyoe Of white corn. The variety does
not matter so much as the growing
Of the one kind by all of the neighbors
so as to obtain sufficient quantities to
sell this corn by sample rather than
sacrificing it by mixing 1t with inferior
corn.
The county agent can do q great
deal Of good by establishing a seed
plot for white corn where it will be
unaffected by neighboring yellow corn.
The idea of the club will be to get
as lkrge membership as possible to
grow the best white corn, II they are
not already committed to improving
their yellow corn. There is danger
Of overlooking the quality Of white
corn.

lican ticket comes before the people
with a splendid reputation and
ability for the duties of the office of
Recorder. He was Deputy County
Auditor under B. G.. Harding for
six years and during that time was
called upon frequently to help out
in the various Offices during busy
"spells" and is therefore familiar
with the work and requirements of
the Office.
He was born in Sandusky County
in 1877 and during the same year
his parents moved to Prairie Depot
where they still reside. Brice has
been connected with the First Ma
tional Bank in Bowling Green for
the past seven years and has always
proven himself capable and efficient
