Corn Clubs for Boys; Tomato
Clubs for Girls.

Now the boys and girls of Mis-
souri, are to have their inning
right at home.
The College of Agriculture of
the University of Missouri, IN its
endeavor to reach every person
in the state, is starting a move
ment to interest and help our
future citizens.
1t is the organization of corn
clubs for the boys and tomato
clubs for the girls. Every boy
and girl in the state between u
and is years old is eligible.
Each one who joins one of these
clubs may be assured an inter
esting and profitable time during
the coming summer.
There will be monthly meetings
of the club throughout the sea-
son. These will close with the
county contests and then there
will be a big state contest at the
College of Agriculture next win
ter. In all counties valuable
premium will be offered. Each
county superintendent in the
state has been supplied with in
formation in regard to this new
way of educating the boys and
girls, and each one can write
him a letter and obtain complete
details.
we want all the boys and
girls to join these clubs" said
R. Il Emberson, who has charge
of the work. "We will organ
ize these clubs in as many dis
tricts as possible. A club can
not have fewer than six members
In case there are are less than
six, districts may unite. A local
lealer will meet with the clut
once a month to discuss the
work. I'll be glad to hear from

Friday afternoon about

Burglars Abroad.

Saturday night someone broke
into Jas. r. Moorehead's office
and sought to extract therefrom
the money in the cash drawer
and safe. He entered through
a back window and ransacked
the place thoroughly but failed
to get the coin. The enterior of
the office is pretty well lighted
from the street lights making it
rather risky for a burglar to
prowl around very much unless
IN a stopped position. Whoever
it was must have known the sur
roundings pretty thoroughly. No
blame is attached to the Occu-
pants of the new building ON the
west.

night before the Moose Club was
a thriller from start to finish.
The preliminaries were worth

main bout between LeJune Of

given in this part of the state.

The Seed Corn Situation in Mis-
souri,.

souri,.
The free Seed Testing Labora-
tory conducted by the Missouri
College of Agriculture for the
benefit of Missouri farmers has
tested for termination samples of
corn received from nearly fifty
different localities in the state
this winter. The average germi-
natl of all tests made is SO per
cent, only one sample falling be-
low 50 per cent. Some of this
corn is of the 1912 crop, but
most of it is new corn. Most
Of these samples were sent in by
members of the Missouri Corn
Growers Association who have
seed for sale. Much of the seed
corn being offered for sale this
spring is, therefore, of high vi
tality. While this seed is good,
the supply is limited this year.
Many men who usually produce
seed for sale are offering none
at all, and will not be able to
supply even their local customers.
Fortunately, there is consider
able old corn on hand which may
be used for planting this spring.
If this old corn has been stored
in a dry and well-ventilated seed
room, it should be in good con-
ditiOn. Even if stored in a
good crib, it will doubtless be
better than some new corn. One
should by all means, however,
make a general termination test
OF old corn as well as of the new
seed to get some information on
its vitality before planting. This
may be done by removing 6 to
10 kernels from each of fifty
average ears taken random
throughout the whole lot of seed
Then make a bulk test Of this
by planting in a shallow box o1
sand placed behind the stove. i
this preliminary test shows 1
termination of 80 per cent OF

ed good and safe to plant. Il
it falls below 80 per cent, ther

ear test and discard all ears as
unfit for planting which do not
terminate 100 per cent strong.
Much seed corn will, no doubt
be brought into Missouri from
surrounding states this spring

Food Vital Factor
In Moral TRAINING
Pay as Much Attention to Child
Feeding as to Stock Feeding,
Is Eugenics Plea by Physi-
clan.

Eugenists Would apply stock
breeding methods to breeding
human kind.
Well enough, says this physician
but be consistent, and pay as much
attention to child feeding as you
do to stock feeding.
Then, he asserts, You will i'm.
prone the moral tone of youth as
well as their physical fiber.
This argument is Advanced BY
DR.. Stephen Harnsberger, of Fau-
quier county, Virginia, president of
the Medical Society of Virginia.
Add to that a stricter "social
censorship" build again the re.
series between the sexes, discour-
age flirtations and promiscuous
comingling of young boys and girls,
he declares, and the divorce courts
will grind more slowly and the old
type of home be re-estdblished.
By ]. R. HILDEBRAND.
Have you considered the dangers
cf immoral food?
Temperance crusades are over with
US, young boys are warned on all
sides against cigarettes, rich and
indigestible concoctions are assailed
by athletic trainers. But have you
considered that your boys and girls
may avoid all these evils and still sit
down, each morning, to a breakfast
that lowers moral fiber, moral
stamina, and moral tone?
This is no pretty theory sketched
bv an amateur social crusader. It is
the calm, scientific diagnosis Of a
practicing physician, evolved from
the laboratory Of daily experience.
No class Of persons has such a
heavy responsibility in dealing with
social problems, asserts DIR. stephen
Harnsberger, as physicians. Before
the Medical Society OF Virginia, Of
which he Is president, he sketched
some present-day evils in his OPEN
ing address. To a Times representa-
tive today he went more deeply into
evils in present-day conditions that
tend especially to weaken and under
mine the vitality Of child life.

Food Values Refined Away.
Take an example: The average
grain of wheat contains LIS per cent
Of mineral bodies, while the finest
patent -four contains "A per cent,
about one-fourth tho quantity in the
the natural grain. Brown sugar con-
tains 1.97 per cent Of minerals. while
refined sugar contains .01 per cent, or
nearly 200 per cent less. This is a
fair picture Of the way natural and
refined foods show UP in their con-
tent Of mineral bases
Many Of the physical, and perhaps
mental. disabilities which embarrass
children and depress the vital
processes Of expectant and nursing
mothers may be properly laid at the
door of refined foods. Present day

irrational eating between meals. and
all manner of worse than useless
ach and Intestinal tract. The lack
of ions generally in our foods today
Is determining physical, mental, and
therefore moral changes which are
not yet fully understood"
An example of one disease which
has fourished under the Introduction
Of refined foods, DR.. Harnsberger
said, is appendicitis.
II am not convinced that every
case of appendicitis Is q surgical case.
We do not know what effect the re-
moval Of the appendix may have on
longevity. It Is wiser to give more
thought to the pre-appendicular stage
than to the dominating radical ex-
pedient. And there we find constipa-
ton is perhaps the most constant dis
turbance caused by the ingestton or
demineralized foods"
Need of Home Training.
Not that DR.. Harnsberger would
have you think the moral strength
ening Of children is simply a matter
Of proper feeding. That is essential.
But in addition to that we must
have more of the companionship.
comradeship, sympathy, and mutual
pleasures of the homes Of earlier
days. Then boys grew up with the
idea Of providing a home and the
girls with the idea Of caring for a
home.
Mothers today are not increasing
their watchfulness over their chill

tions demand and urge. Instead Of
