THE HOLDEN CAMPAIGN

Interest displayed in the Holden
follow-up campaign throughout the
Pacific northwest has caused the
improvement committee to make ar
rangements on a comprehensive scale
for the work during the coming
year.
Three thousand sets of charts of
Is pages each, eight feet square,
have been ordered for distribution
by county school superintendent Of
Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
Five thousand stereopticon slides
and 5000 photographs have also
been ordered, and will be ready for
distribution either at the close of
the spring term of school or early
next September.
An edition of $4,000 booklets
dealing with corn raising in the
Pacific northwest, and like quanti-
ties Of booklets on poultry and dairy
ing also are being prepared under
the direction of Charles w. Farr,
secretary of the Holden improve
ment committee. All these book
lets, says Mr.. Farr, deal accurately
with local conditions in the Pacific
northwest.
I'VE find remarkable interest in
the follow-up week to be held in the
schools of the three states commence
ing March g." states Mr.. Farr.
twenty-five county superintend-
ents have sent in hurry-up requisi-
tons for additional supplies of the
rag doll seed corn testers, although
an edition of 5000 was distributed
only four weeks ago.

RELATION OF SHAPE OF EAR
To THE YIELD OF CORN

The superintendent of one of the
Texas experiment stations, after a
careful studyof the relation of shape
of ear to yield of corn, concludes
that slightly tapering parent ears
give the highest yield. This is in
accord with the results of expert
ments at the Ohio Experiment Sta
ton, in which extremely tapering
ears gave slightly higher results than
cylindrical ears. High yields were
associated with comparati e y
smooth kernels of slightly more than
average depth and of medium horn
mess. The yield increased with an
increase in the total weight of the
ear as determined by slight increase
in length, amount of grain and
rather marked increase in weight of
cob.
In experiments of the Ohio and
Nebraska experiment stations, it
was found that the highest yields

their cantaloupe ground well in
order to produce large melons. Any.
thing smaller than a As pack is hard
to sell and then only at large
discount.
At the very least, we should ship
100 cars of fancy cantaloupes out of
here this year and as many more
watermelons, which subject | shall
take up later. The Exchange is
ordering the seed for the growers
and orders should be left with Sec

as possible.

The school superintendent are
cooperating to make the campaign
a success and they are very much
interested in this move to secure a
closer cooperation between the
school and the home.
In the collection of seed corn
received at the Spokane Chamber OF
Commerce is some from Oroville,
Wash, which has been placed be-
side some of Illinois best product
and examined by experts. They
declare it is almost impossible to
distinguish any difference between
the two. This shows conclusively
that the Pacific northwest has pos
sibilities as a corn section"
