Testing Seed Corn in the Public Schools

(By Augusta D. Evans, assistant in ag
. ricultural extension, University of II
linois.)
On account of the large number o
requests, coming from rural teachers
county superintendent, and others
for information in regard to seed test
ing, the extension division of the col
lege of agriculture to whom these re
quests have been made, has prepared
the following suggestions:
1t is not necessary in the case OF
to test each individual ear. Expert
ments, however, have shown such a
marked increase in yield due to plant
! ing corn Of high terminating value that
in most cases it will pay TO carefully
examine seed corn for viability or
strength. A composite or rough pre-
liminary test will reveal the necessity
for testing further.
From the entire stock of seed to be
Planted, select enough ears to repre-
sent the sample-say for instance, 100
ears. From each of those take three
Kernels and terminate them between
blotters or in a sawdust tester. De-
terminate percentage of termination.
If these ears show a termination of
80 per cent or better, it is doubtful
whether it will pay to test further,
since the yield does not increase d.
rectiy in proportion to the stand. This
is true especially in a dry season,
when the moisture is utilized to the
fullest extent by the plants that ac-
tually sprout and grow.
If the composite test, however, re-
veals a termination less than 80 per
cent, the probability is that the indid-
vidual ear test will pay, and if very
much below this figure it becomes alb
s0iutely necessary TO test each indi-
v;dual ear in order to avoid the pos
sibility of loss from low yields.
Make box of any convenient size.
Two boards each ten inches wide and
20 inches long will make the bottom
o: very serviceable tester. Make a
tray or shallow box by using two-inch-
wide boards for the sides and ends. |
Fill this tray with moist sand. leveling |
1t with yard stick, lath, or any |
piece Of wood or metal. |
Lay it off in Pinch squares by driving a |
row of carpet tacks into each side and |
each end of the tray. placing these /
lacks two inches apart, and lacing |
strong Irvine back and forth across the

DEATH MYSTERY
DR.. Wilder Convinced Mrs.
Laura Simpson Accident
ally Killed Herself.
HAD BODY OISINTERRED
Examination Shows, IL Is Stated, That
Bullet Fired at Close Range
Killed Woman.
HAD BODY OISINTERRED

Chicago. Ill. March 25.-Dr. William
Il Wilder announced yesterday that.
as the result OF a second autopsy made
en- the body of Mrs. Laura Wilder
Simpson. he is certain his daughter
accidentally killed herself.
Mrs Simpson, a popular graduate
OF the University of Chicago, was
found dead in Lexington. KY. on Feb.
%. She had been shot through the
head a revolver was near the body.
She was found by her husband,
Lawrence Simpson, and physicians de-
clared she had been dead two hours. A
ccroner's jury returned an open YER
dict. which. complicated by local Lex
ington gossip, tended TO cast an anony-
nous suspicion OF murder over the az
fair.
DR.. Wilder, who lives at 5sI1 Ken
wood avenue, asked Prof. Ludwig
Hektoen and DR.. L. r. lie Count, the
former of the University of Chicago
and the latter OF Rush Medical college,
70 make a thorough examination.
Make Second Post-Mortem.
The body was disinterred last Satur-
day and second post-mortem exami-
nation was made by experts. They
found from powder burns that the shot
had been fired close TO the head, and
undoubtedly had been fired by Mrs.
Simpson herself. AS there was no rea~
son for suicide. this. as Dr. Wilder
says. clearly indicates she came to her
death through accident and clears up
any mystery for all time.
Dr. Hektoen's report, in part, is as
follows:
There were no powder marks on |
the skin, but the deeper tissues about |
the wound OF entrance were blackened |
by powder throughout an area about \
one inch in width above and behind
the reformation in the skull and to a
lesser extent below and in front. The
tissues were split into layers, the sur
faces OF which were blackened. The
margin OF the perforation in the skull
at one point was burned. The cover
ings OF the brain and inner surface OF
the skull about the perforation showed
some blackening also.
Reports on Conclusion.

Disease Due To Germs

All disease. not only infectious dis
ease, but all other disease-colds,
throat troubles, intestinal troubles
are all due to implanted germs. These
germs, once in the body, multiply by
millions. Nature provides for their
determination, but sometimes is un-
equal TO the task.
When Nature begins to lose you
soon feel the toxins or poisons--your
head aches-your tongue is coated
