7EsTSEED BEFORE YOUplANT; LARGER CROPS WILL RESULT


During the winter months the aver
age farmer will find more time to
test seed that he is to use for plant
ing in the spring than he will prob
ably find at any other time. Of course,
seed selection should begin in the field.
Having chosen good ears from the
best yielding stalks and keeping these
in a dry place, these ears can be test
ed with very little trouble any time
in the winter.
A box with sand in it and slight
moisture kept in place where it will
not get too cold will soon terminate
the grains from the ears to be tested.
Take ten grains from an ear and plant
in single row, numbering the row
and the ear so that records will not
get mixed. The grains should prefer
ably be taken from different parts of
the ear.
When the grain has developed a
shoot, note how many OF the rows
The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1914-02-02

shows as many as nine out CT the ten
grains terminating These rows alone
are Of further interest. Discard the
ears which have shown less than 80
per cent. termination. To make fur
Their tests Of the ears that have shown
in excess Of 80 per cent. termination,
you will have to examine the root de-
velopment Of each grain. Those that
have three or more large, we'll devel-
oped roots, can be classed as having
strong termination, those with
less, weak termination. Again
discard the ears not showing
strong termination as indicated by
root Development and you have re-
naming the best seed it is possible
for you to select. Such selected seed
will yield from 25 to so per cent. more
grain than that which has not been Sc
lected in this way. The returns make
the little time and attention given to
it, one of the most remunerative lines
Of work in which the farmer can en-
gage.

When such situations arise Nc
Graw doesn't hesitate to adopt des-
perate measures. He is on the verge
of gamble that may make or break
his team. The report from Cincinnati
has it that Snodgrass, Murray and
probably Merkle are to be traded to
the Reds for Hoblitzel, Bates, a claim
to the services of Marsans, who jump
ed to the Feds, and possibly Niehoff.
The players involved cannot be
definitely named, but big shift is
imminent.
McGraW is gambling that the new
players, lifted to a team that has
chance for the worlds series coin,
will play inspired baseball. 1t is long
chance, as Hobby now is batting
down near 200, and Bates was never
noted for his brightness. Marsans is
tied up in the courts.

midstream, O'Day can stand pat on

the ability he exhibited in the Amer
lean League, both with the Mackmen
and Yanks, Derrick would not have
been strong addition to the South
Side troop.
He never shone as hitter, and had
difficulty holding thrown ball at sec
ond base, an unusual failing for big
league infelder In the International
he has been hitting around the 300
mark, but the pitching in that circuit
and the brand Of twirling on exhibit
ton in the American League this year
are not comparative.
If Derrick couldn't make good two
years ago, he certainly would fail
now, for the twirlers in the Johnson
circuit have increased their efficiency
at least so per cent, and the batters
who have made great records for
years are having trouble keeping
within speaking distance of their
former marks.
Larry ChappeII would be a great
help to the Sox now, but it is extreme
ly doubtful if the former Brewer will
be available for duty during the sea-

UNFAIR TO CAPITAL
INVESTED, IS CHARGE
Director of Great Lakes Conn
pany Says There Is No Need
of More Vessels in Trade.

Considerable opposition is develop
ing among those interested in trans
portation lines engaged in coastwise
trade to the provision in the ship regis
try bill giving the President power at
his discretion to admit foreign built
ships to that trade. The attitude Of
the Chamber of Commerce, which at
a special meeting Thursday called this
provision "unwse and unnecessary
was warmly commended yesterday by
several prominent men.
A good deal of American capital is
invested in ships in the coastwse
service, and the cry seems to be that
American builders would suffer if the
door was opened in this trade to ships
built abroad, though flying the Ameri-
can flag. 1t was said that no more
ships we're needed in the coastwse SER
vice, as many Of the American ships
were tied up at the docks for lack Of
business.
George A. CASTOR, a director Of the
American Transportation Company and
several other companies owning vessels
engaged in the coastwise service and on
the Great Lakes, said yesterday that 1t
would spell disaster for these and other
lines to admit foreign built ships TO
this trade.
AT the present time" said Mr.. Gas
ton, "many ships built for this trade
are tied up at the docks for lack OF
business. To build ard operate these
ships costs at least one-third more than
20 build and operate foreign vessels.
Those who invested their money in
IL IN,
upon the eminently proper law which
confined coastwise and lake shipping to
vessels built in the United States.
mo good cause exists to-day for de-
parting from this fixed policy. On the
contrary, the owners of vessels en-
gagged in trade on the Atlantic coast
and on the Great Lakes will be unable
to continue in business if the policy Of
the government is altered.
1.-THE situation which exists in for
eign shipping to-day is not caused by
lack of ships, but by inability of the
shippers to cash their documents and
the impossibility of obtaining insur-
ance covering war risks except at pro-
hibitive rates. Foreign built ships can
be admitted to United States registry
for the transportation of merchandise
to foreign ports, and no objection
should be made by the owners of Amer
lean built vessels. but the extension Of
this privilege TO coastwise and lake
trade is a wholly unnecessary annihila-
ton of an important domestic indus
try and the capital invested therein"
Mr.. CASTOR incorporated his cbjec-
tions in a letter which he sent to the
Congressman on the committee in
charge of the shin registry bill. which
has passed the Senate.
