The profits to be derived from the
good preservation of seed corn have
been put to practical tests by the Of
dce OF corn investigations Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. The cuts show building
constructed solely for the purpose OF
preserving seed corn. 1t has a con-
crete basement and fue. Warm air
passes from the basement through
openings In the floor, ascends through
the corn, and escapes through venti-
lators.
This house was constructed at a
cost OF $500, and In one year returned
to the farm 81. 800 In profit, due to a
five-bushel increased acre yield on TAO
acres planted with seed corn dried
and stored in IT, These figures were
obtained as the result Of II separate
tests The owner OF the farm on
which this test was made was not
fully satisfied with It because II was
made on small plats, and he there
fore made more extensive tests. At
corn-gathering time In November he
selected two bushels OF seed. placing
one bushel In a crib and the other
bushel in the seed-corn dry house.
In the spring with a two-row planter
he planted four rows 1850 feet long
and 81 feet apart with tho seed kept
In the dry house; then four rows with
the seed kept In the crib. This he re-
peated seven times, making eight
tests in all in which four rows planted
with one lot OF seed were compared
with the adjoining four rows planted
with the other lot OF seed. At har-
vest time four rows yielded a wagon
load OF ears. which constituted a
weighing. From the seed kept in the
crib there were produced 1926
pounds, while from seed kept In dry

The Summers dying into Fall.
The leaves are taking on their Au-
tumn hue;
The birds no longer chirp their mat
ing call;
The flowers are becoming scattered
too.
Old Mother Earth will soon begin to
claim
The life she gave to everything In
Spring.
The cooling of the dove is sad and
lone,
His mate no ger hears his call
for home;
The wind is signing soft and low
For Summers fieeting moments as
they go
Into the dark and soon forgotten past.
Where every living thing must rest
at last
And so it is with every fieeting year.
We see shadow on the wall of time
Which tells in picture all too clear
That the lite to which we cling in
fear
Must some day pass along the line
We see laid down by Nature every
year.
The dawning Spring of childhood's
happy days
Brings with them childish thoughts
of play;
The music Of the Spring soon dies
away
And leaves the Summers full
blown day,
In which we build our castles fair
To shelter those we love from care
Then Autumn's thoughtful serious
mood
Claims our attention for time,
AS life flows swiftly, surely on
To Winters cold and dreary days,
When Nature reaches out her arms
again
And gathers in the life she gave in
Spring.
