FIVE FUNDAMENTALS
OF THE CURRENCY BILL

Issue Of currency, guaranteed by
the government, based upon notes
and bills representing commercial
transactions and backed by a gold
reserve. The new currency is ex-
pected to contract and expand to
meet the varied demands Of trade.
Concentration of the bank re-
serves Of the country In regional
institutions capitalized by the
banks Of the country and con-
trolIed by directors elected by the
banks.
Creation Of a market for the ne
gotiable commercial paper which
forms the bulk Of the assets of the
banks, where, In time of stress,
those assets may be easily and
without loss transformed into cash.
EstabIishpent of from eight to
twelve great regional banks
throughout the country, which will
issue currency, rediscount paper
and centraIize and mobilize the re-
serves of the local banks.
Creation Of a federal reserve
board Of seven members appointed
by the president, with final powers
of control and supervision over the
entire system.

THREE ESSENTIALS FOR cow
Pure Water and Air and Reasonable
Amount of Exercise Are Needed
for Proper Development.
(By l.. NJ. -BENNINGTON.)

(By L. M
Some of the leading dairy author1-
ties may argue as they may, but many
good dairymen believe that the time
is past when a man with al ordinary
degree Of intelligence should advocate
the practice of putting the cows in
the stable in the fall and compel them
to remain there until spring.
This practice may not prove detri-
mental to the individuals during the
one generation that is so manged, but
how about the succeeding generation
and their progeny? Will they not be
weakened?
The very first law of animal health
is pure water and pure air and a rea-
sonable amount of exercise, and nc
animal can be properly developed in
all of its organs and functions unless
it is provided with these three es.

Hillside Crops-

Records of crops will show that the
trees grown on the hillsides or at the
top of elevations have a greater per
centage of crop years than those in
the hollow. This condition is primarily
due to the air drainage or to differ
ence of temperature between the low
ground and that a few feet higher up.
Experiments have shown that on still.
frosty nights there has been a differ
ence of 10 degrees in as many feet
between the bottom of a ravine or
hollow and the top nearby.

Ten Ears of Corn From the Same
Field, Showing Great Variability in
Type Resulting From Failure to Sc
Iect Seed Properly.

IN production due to the use of i'm
proved seed results in additional
profit.
During the past 10 or Is years there
has been a great awakening of inter-
est in the subject of seed selection and
breeding as applied to our great gen.
eral farm crops, especially corn, cot
ton, tobacco, wheat, oats and other
crops of wide distribution and cultiva-
ton. One reason for this awakening
is that the lane on which these crops
are grown has increased in value to a
very marked extent and it is neces-
sary to increase the production per
acre and improve the quality of the
crops in order to make farming profit
able. In high priced land it is neces-
sary to grow more productive crops
than formerly if one is to make a rea-
sonable profit on the present invest
ment.
Another reason for the awakened
interest in seeed selection and breed
ing lies in the fact that in the Sec
tons where crops have been grown
for a considerable time the varieties
produced on these lands year after
year, where no seed selection or
breeding has been practiced, have
tended to run out and become I'M
profitable. In addition to the running
out of varieties under conditions of
continuous propagation without breed
ing, fungeous diseases and insect enc
mics, frequently develop to such an
extent that, unless resistant or i'm
mune varieties are secured by seed
selection and breeding, the growing OF
these crops is either carried on with
small return to the growers or has
to be abandoned.
The most important field for the
breeders work is in the improvement
of the established varieties of crops
by the production of strains approx
mating more uniformity to the best
types of these varieties. This lack o.
uniformity in high productive capacit,

is responsible in great measure for the
present low average yield of most of
our crops.
In the case of corn, this variability
of plants is particularly striking. A
large majority of the plants produce
ears of small size, irregular in shape,
and light weight. which are undesir-
able. Many of the stalks are barren.
Only a small proportion of the plants
produce the maximum size and weight
of ear. If every kernel produced a
uniform plant and the plants bore uni
form ears weighing one pound each.
the average yield per acre would be
about 10,66S pounds, or about 155 BUSH
els of shelled corr per acre. The
fact that the average yield throughout
the corn belt is less than 40 bushels
per acre is striking evidence that only
a small proportion of the plants bear
ears of the maximum weight.

OF SEEDS
No One Subject of Greater In
tereSt to Farmer.
One Reason for General Awakening Is
That Land Has Increased in Value
to Marked Extent-Uniform-
ity of Much Value.
(By A. D. SHAMEL)

There is no one subject related to
farming of greater interest and i'm
portance to the farmer than the i'm
provement Of his general crops by
seed selection and breeding. The
study of these plants from the breed
ing standpoint is not only intensely
interesting but it also usually results
in awakening a keener interest in all
phases Of crop production, from the
preparation of the soil for the seed
bed and the cultivation of the growing
plants to the marketing of the prod
ucts. This subject is of vital impor-
lance, commercially, from the fact
hat it usually costs no more to grow
improved varieties of farm crops than
unimproved sorts, while the increase

Overhead IRRIGATION.

OF 164 users of overhead irrigation
in New York state, 67 are located on
Long Island, according to H. B. Full
lerton, in the Long Island Agronomist.
He adds: THE majority of them are
what careless folks call foreigners,
which boiled down means hal these
folks have only lived in the United
States part of one generation, instead
of two or three

Do not attempt to secure warmth in
the stables by banking windows n
closing everything up tightly. The
horse is a breathing animal and needs
fresh air, but it should be supplied
without exposure to drafts.
