kent FARMERS HOLD VERY
LIVELY MEETING AT CAMDEN

The sessions of Kent County Pomona
Grange which was held at Camden last
Thursday discussed much business of an
important nature, under the direction of
Jefferson Cooper, of Cheswold. A cor.
d al welcome as the guests Of Fruitland
Grange was made by Mrs. Frances Stay
maker, and H. G. Ross of Viola responded
in a happy vein. Probably the after
noon session was the most important of
any. as it was then that the principal
topics were discussed which affect the
well-being Of the farmer and the grange.
The whipping post as a means of punish
ment for criminals, was considered both
pro and con, with A. w. Slaymaker,
Mrs. Matte Blades and J. G. Brown
leading the affirmative. while the oppOsi-
ton was taken by Gilbert l. Meredith,

PREPARATION FOR The CORN CROP

According to Prof. Grantham of the
Agronomy Department of Delaware
College much of the seed corn saved
last fall is likely to be of low termination
owing to the severe freezing weather of
last winter This condition will apply
particularly to seed corn that was not
fully dried out before the cold weather
came. He says. all seed corn should be
tested to determine its state of vitality
A few kernels taken at random from
several ears of the lot Of seed corn
should be sprouted If 50 per cent Of
the kernels are strong and vigorous, no
further testing will be necessary. If,
however, the termination falls below
80 per cent each individual seed ear
should be tested. Directions for testing
a large number of seed ears will be
furnished by the Agronomy Department
upon request. Inquiries from many
parts of the State indicate that there is
a considerable demand for seed corn. 1t
Milford chronicle., 1914-04-10

is. suggested that those growers who
have seed corn for sale should write to
the department stating the kind of corn
and the quantity they have for sale.
This will enable the owners of good
seed corn to come in touch with those
looking for good seed. The department
is often at loss to know where to To-
cate supplies of seed corn in the State
and will gladly cooperate with growers
in eifecting the distribution of seed Of
good quality.
Seed corn should preferably be pur-
chased in the ear Examination as to
type and characteristics of the variety
can then be made more satisfactorily.
Corn in the ear may also be tested moi
accurately than shelled grain. Do not
purchase seed corn from a locality too
remote. Seed from 100 miles farther
north or south is not so likely toproduce
as we'll as corn grown on the Peninsula.
