POOR METHOD OF CURING SEED CORN.
per cent, gave I'll bushels, difference
OF 49.5 bushels per acre, due to low
yielding variety. At 80 cents per
bushel Farmer A. lost $24.75 per acre.
! 1t has been demonstrated that yield
corresponds very closely to stand and
that stand depends largely upon the
vitality Of the seed as shown by the
terminating test. One of the factors
determining the vitality and yield ID
storage. ~
The effect of storage of seed corn
was strikingly illustrated by two sam
pies Of Silver King corn grown side by
side at Oshkosh. Farmer BIS Silver
King corn, feld cured and otored on
the outside of pump house. gave q
stand OF 20 per cent and yield OF
forty-one bushels per acre. A fire
dried sample of Silver King from the
station grown next to 1t, with stand
or DO per cent, gave yield of S5.7
bushels per acre. Farmer b. lost forty
four bushels. or SO per acre-in other
words. he secured only half crop be.
cause of poor care of seed.
! One bushel Of corn will plant SIX
acres. For every bushel of this corn
that Farmer b. used he suffered loss
on six acres of $132. Had Farmer B.
cured and stored the Eve bushels OF
seed corn used by him in 1909 accord.
ing to the best method he would have
increased his income from this thirty
acres by 5000. This sum therefore rep.
resents the value to him of curing 1--WE
bushels Of seed corn, or value OF $13q
per bushel.
Considering the average results OF
the Eve best and FIVE poorest samples,
We ind that the Ave best samples av.
eraged 1873 bushels, or $39.15 per acre,
while the five poorest samples aver
aged 1877 bushels, or $19.s5 The aver,
age loss sustained by each OF the farm.
ers using the five poorest samples was
therefore $3.50 per acre.
The lowest termination, ~ per cent,
was that of corn standing In shock
during the winter. This did not dry
out well In the fall. The cells of this
corn were therefore subject to frequent
freezing and thawing while distended
with water. AS result Of this many
OF the cells burst, thus killing the germ
and lowering the termination. 1t "a
noticeable that fire dried corn did not
suffer 30 much, nor corn cured in well
ventilated garrets or rooms in houses

POST OFFICE CLERKS
USE ROLLER SKATES

Clerks in the Chicago post
Offices and some of the carriers
have been equipped with roller
skates in the belief that the in
novation will result in greater
speed in the transaction Of rou-
tine business and the elimina-
tion of considerable effort in
walking. An article in a recent
issue of Popular Mechanics
Magazine told of the use of roller
skates by stockroom employees
in large factory, and this sug-
gested their use in the postal
service. The post Office check
room is in the basement and has
a clear stretch of concrete floor
space 300 fit. long. Here the
clothing, uniforms. hats and
shoes of !, 400 clerks are hung.
and the running back and forth
amounts to several miles every
day, Several pairs of roller
skates were bought and given to
the employees in the check
room. 1t was soon found that
they did their work with less
effort and in one-third uf the
time it had taken them to run
back and forth. The roller
skates proved so great an aid on
the inside that the postmaster
decided to experiment further.
and several OF the special par
cel-post carriers were also
equipped with skates.

Modena
January. 20

January, 20
Mr.. H. M. Ash, a traction
Engineer who has been handling
the steam machinery for the
past two months at the Rio
Virgin Irrigation Project in
Arizona. has returned to his
ranch about 20 miles northeast
OF here, He reports the work
as progressing nicely, but on &C
count of high water and an in
sufficiency of machinery, work
has had to be discontinued for
a week or two.
There is dam being built
across the Narrows of the Rio
Virgin, which is to be 131 feet
above the surface of the water
and about 55 feet below which
makes the dam 1856 feet high all
together. 1t will be 100 feet
wide at the bottom and about
300 feet wide at the top. Then
there is to be 13 miles of canal
made to carry the water to the
land where it will be used for
irrigation purposes.
Modena May be Boo ming
There is great deal of talk
among the people here about the
repair shops of the s P.L.A.& S.
l.. Railroad Company. which are
situated at Milford and Calente,
being moved from those places
to Modena, which is more
central place than either of the
above. This they claim will
lessen the expenses of the shops
and serve the purpose just as
well. And also make the runs
between Los Angeles and Salt
Lake City much more evenly
divided. If this change'is made
1t will help Washington County
probably more than it will Iron
county. because Of the market
that there will be here for fruit
and instead of the Dixie people
having to haul so much of their
fruit to Phoebe and other places
In Nevada they will be able to
dispose of it here, and probably
at as good price as in the New
ada towns.
Although there has been no
official statment with regard to
this az yet, there is a great
deal of talk which appears to
have some foundation.

BUSINESS IS PICKING UP

Though with all its angles prosperity has not struck Nevada. 1t is
evident from the reports that are coming from the East that business is
picking up remarkably fast and it is indicated by the fact hat steel
mills are increasing their forces and hours of working and the railroads,
the main arteries of the business world, are putting in big orders for
freight crsa and other e equipment The following dispatch from
Chicago, OF date last Saturday, tells what Improvements have been noted
in that section OF the country, and once business shows renewed activity
in those parts it does not take it long to reach the coast:
Prosperity hit Chicago a hearty slap o the back from two different
directions today.
Coincident with the e that the Burlington railroad shops in
Aurora now have the largest number in the history of the road, am
word from Gary announcing that the steel mills of that city and South
Chicago henceforth will work five days a week full handed instead OF
three days a week short handed, as they have been doing =
New orders, the biggest received % lar this year, have come into the
steel company in the last few days. The impetus "a felt instantly.
Garys rail mill, which hitherto has rolled only three days a week,
started rolling five days a week, and there IA a proporionate increaSc
in the activities OF all the other departments OF the mills.
Practically the same situation Exists in South Chicago. There is
every indication tina. the dulness which has characterized the last few
months has vanished entirely and is being replaced by conditions which
promise an era OF unparalleled prosperity.
Two hundred men have been added to the payroll of the Burlington
shops in Aurora in the last month. There is unusual activity al the
shops in preparation for the grain rush. Many engines are being re-
paired also. Scores of uaumen laid off because of the sackness in
freight traffic have been put back to work.

CREDIT FOR THE POPULIST

In these days, when the politicians OF various faiths are trampng
and motoring up and down the country making claims Is o the achieve
ments OF their parties, it is well to call attention to some of the event
Of history.
Back in July, 1892, the PopuHst-who WI called all manner of
names to indicate that he a a crank OF high degree and a hopeless
cross between an anarchist and sociaGst-he1d national convention and
adopted a platform which declared for a postal savings bank, govern
ment ownership of telegraph, telephone and railroads. The platform
also demanded the establishment Of the initiative, referendum, the
direct election of senators and son federal judges, the direct primary,
the free coinage of silver, the creation of scientific money by the
government, and the income tax.
The postal bank. income tax and direct election of senator's have
become facts of our national government. The movement for tine
naturalization of the telegraph and telephone is on the way and cal
hardly be delayed many years.
the direct domination of the government and only remove from
government ownership.
Already many states, including California, have adopted the ina-
tive, referendum and recall. The election of federal judges has nor
gained much Roadway, but Roosevelt has declared for the recall of
judicial decisions.
The direct primary is al accomplished fact in most of the states,
and in form it seem likely to m into universal USE.
In fact, with the sole exception of the money planks, the platform
of the Popuist has been worked out in the laws of the land-Sacra-
mento Union.

RURAL MAIL BY OTTO

The house postofne committee has decided to recommend an
increase OF pay to $lSW for rural carriers who use automobiles. At
present the maximum pay is $l2O.
This is me of those sensible changes which will benefit both the
carriers and the government A MAJ who is handy with tools a main
tain a small car at a cost, including depreciation, not 81 very mucl
more than the cost of maintaining 4 horse and buggy. On the other
hand, the standard ruraldeGvery route, which is at present twentyfour
miles, a be more than doubled. Fifty miles is the length proposed.
The advantage of carrying mails in an automobile instead of haul
ing them behind a horse is as apparent in the country a. in the city
where the roads are good.
the states. No influence or power has been so benehcent in this great
reform a the automobile. Its adoption as official by the postohice de-

the government that good roads arec coming &c stay.
