tirely eliminate blackleg, prevent the
spread of ordinary scab, and also to
overcome some of the losses from
seed decay and so-called imperfect
termination.
After the sound, healthy tubers
have been disinfecteG great care should
be taken not to contaminate them by
allowing them to come in contact with
sacks, barrels or planters, etc, which
may carry the germs of the disease.
Special attention should also be given
to storage houses. After all dirt, po-
tato culls and rubbish have been re-
moved from the potato house, the in
terror walls and floors should be thor
oughly sprayed with a solution of cop

The amounts of disinfeJtants to use
and the length of time for treating
seed potatoes are as follows:
"a Formaldehyde, 40 per cent, one

in this solution for two hours.

water, 80 gallons; soak tubers one and
one-half hours in this solution.

and lessen labor involved in replant-
ing.
Samples are sometimes seen at corr
shows with scattered grains differing
markedly in thickness and width from
the others They are Objectionable,
both because such seed does not plant
well, and because it shows cross pol
lenization with other varieties. Pre-
miums can be given to such samples
only when the competing; samples
present more serious defects, such as
traces of the mold causing Sickness in
stock, decayed kernels and imperfect
development of germs
A separate seed plot for each farm
er, where his best ears can be plant
ed and the plants kept from contain
nation, or strip from his choice
seed planted through the middle of a
large planting of the same variety,
have both been suggested as means of
Keeping seed corn from the pollen of
undesirable corn grown in the neigh
borhood. This matter is an impor-
tant one
When one has selected the variety
best answering his purpose, his work
is only begun. He should not rest
satisfied as long as anyone has bet
ter strain of the variety. When
he gets crop from it, the very best
ears should be selected for seed from
the very best plants, and these ears
ought to be thoroughly cured before
severe freezing weather arrives, either
by placing on shelves or suspending
by wire in an attic or other dry place,
or else by the careful use of artificial
heat. A common practice among
those who handle large quantities of
seed is to cure on narrow shelves, the
ears being placed in a single layer, or
at any rate not in very deep layers,
so that the air may circulate freely
about each one.
A well-matured corn so preserved
terminates better than corn kept in a
crib, or in box, or bin. Good seed
corn should terminate 80 per cent.
and any ears not giving this per-
centage should be rejected. The only
way to determine whether or not it is
up to this standard is by testing each
ear in the spring before planting time,
and it is customary among those who
have taken up the task of improving
seed corn to construct shallow trays,
three or four inches deep, and, mark
ing off a piece of Canton flannel in
two-inch squares, place it in the bot
tom, or on a layer of moist sand, and
| with each square numbered to CORE
spond with an ear, take out half
dozen kernels from each and place
them in the corresponding square.
| Then another piece of moist flannel is
placed over them, and, covering with
lid or piece of glass to preserve the
moisture, the tray is set in a warm
place. If kept in room where the
temperature ranges from 70 to 80 de
grees Fahrenheit for five days, the
kernels in some squares may be found
to have terminated feebly, unevenly
or not at all, while in others they
will have terminated well, showing
that the seeds of the ear they came
from are of strong vitality. The ears
so terminating are the ones to save
They greatly increase the prospects
of perfect stand and more vigorous
| subsequent growth.

and size, straightness of rows, uni
formity in size of kernels, and a high
percentage of grain to cob may all be
presented by an ear of corn that is
utterly valueless. when the essential
of producing perfect seed is consid-
cred.
One of the first points a judge
should give attention to is the seed
condition of samples. Is the germ
sound and will it produce a. good
plant? A termination test is the best
means of settling these questions, but
unfortunately cannot be employed
while one is judging corn shows. The
farmer should test every ear he
plants.
II the germ is slender and small,
the plant is likely to lack vitality.
Thin seeds tapering to their attach
ment produce weak germs, and con-
sequently ears with such seeds must
be Disseminated against in scoring
exhibits. The seed should be deep,
but 1t must also be of medium width
and thickness, for upon this depends
the size of the germ, and the amount
of food stored in the seed for the

Four hundred and fifty million dollars a year would amount to about five billions in eleven years That sum would gridiron the United States with hard roads twelve miles apart, so that no citizen would live more than six miles from a goodroad which would enable him to go everywhere. It is estimated that q farmer can haul four times as much on a hard road a. on dirt road What boon it would be to a farmer to be relieved of mud embargo The sum above mentioned would in ten years revolutionize theroad traffic and travel of the coun- trE, but half that sum would probably supply present needs. lf we keep our army and navy appropriations as they are now and simply use for good roads the sum which the jingoes de- sire to add to these appropria- tons, the benefits will be enor- nous.
