SEED CORN SHOULD BE
SELECTED SOON.
Desirable Ears Only Should Be Saved
and Tested For termination.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Some time during the winter every
corn grower should spend few days
or more getting his seed corn ready
for planting. 1t will pay well to study
every ear before Smelling. If the seed
has been stored properly it will soon
be ''as dry as BONE" and ready for
the re-selection and elimination proc
ess. Some apparently fine ears last
fall will be found undesirable in many
respects. Discard all ears that have
discolored grain or cob, or a dead ap-
pearance. Also discard all ears that
feel light in weight for their size and
that have small, sharp kernels, and
germs of poor development and ap-
pearance.
Do not retain any ears excepting
those showing good development and
maturity, that are heavy for their size
and contain strong, vigorous looking
kernels Of fairly uniform size and
shape. In making the selections do
not give too much weight to fine butts
and tips, the portion between the butts
and tips is the most important. See
that the ears are of good size for the
season at least. On the other hand,
do not choose great big ear-they
are freaks, representing undesirable
rather than desirable qualities of the
variety. A good ear, excepting in the
mountain sections, should contain be-
tween Is and % rows, with grains
about u inch in length.
After the selection comes the test
for termination. If the seed was we'll
dried out before hard freezing weather
set in the chances are that termination
will be nearly perfect. But one is
never certain and the only way to
make sure is to pick out promiscuously
so or 100 ears from the pile and ger
inmate at least grains from each ear,
taken from as many sections of the
ear. If the test shows nearly per-
feet termination it can be considered
sufficient evidence that further testing
is not necessary, but if the test shows
low termination then each ear should
be tested and all discarded that have
one or more grains that will not grow
or show weak sprouts.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1915-01-29

Where possible orchardists should
secure power sprayers, as not only the
dormant spraying, but treatment later
on the season when trees are in
foliage, can be best applied, and more
satisfactory results secured with such
outfits. The barrel or other hand.
pump should only be used for very
small orchards which do not Justify
the expense of purchasing power ma.
chimes.
All orchards should be pruned be.
fore being sprayed as the latter can be
done more effectively when useless
limbs and twigs are cut out.
The Extension Service of the Agri.
cultural College desires to conduct as
many pruning and spraying demonstra.
lions as its means will permit.

Making Use OF Good Times.

When bad times come, capital has
to discharge much labor, and then the
cry of unemployment arises and CAPT
tai is attacked for the bad times,
which it hates as much as labor does
AS long as the corporate industry ex-
lists, we are sure to have unemploy-
ment and socialism would increase It.
We are soon to have good times.
There will be lots of work and good
wages. During that time, let work
ers be economical, save their money
start little sidelines of business or
buy piece of ground. That is being
done every year. There is nothing i'm
possible about it, and when it is done,
hard times won't bring so much I'M
employment. This is the way capital
started in the first place.
And this little process not only
gathers gear and makes a man self
reliant, it also makes him worthier
citizen, better husband and a truer
neighbor. Make use of the good times
coming, so you can say when the bad
times come, I'm ready for you."-

Rare Operation Performed.

A dermoid cyst, which appeared at
the birth of the child, and very I'M
common with infants, was removed
last week at the City Hospital from
the abdomen of Catherine Brendle, the
16-month-old child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Brendle, of Taneytown. Last
night, from an authoritative source, it
was reported that the child was doing
nicely and would recover.
The cyst developed with the child,
being hardly apparent at birth. When
the operation was performed at the
hospital, the cyst contained a large
bone and a portion of a foot had de-
veloped.
1t is reported that members of the
medical profession of the city and sec
lions CT the county We're unusually
interested in the case, because of its
rarity. 1t is probable that the cyst
will be placed on display in hos
pital
When taken to the hospital the child
was in an unusually emaciated condi-
tion. AS the child grew older it's
physical condition became worse. But
for the operation the child would have
died.

Obstacle to Enjoyment.

Many of us are plenty old enough to
remember the big open fireplace, the
enormous amount of wood it required
to keep it going, how the cord sticks
had to be dug out of the ice and snow,
how it was a struggle to get the big
back log in place, how every morning
the fire had to be started over again,
unless you were cunning enough in
woodcraft to hide some Goals deep
enough under the ashes to keep them
until morning, how in the early hours
OF the bleak days the rooms of the
house were so cold it required great
courage or the insistent commands
OF the head of the house to get up
to make that fire. But this is not
all. 1t will be remembered also that
in real weather the fire from the open
side of the room baked you on one
side while the other side was frozen.
and all the day long the frost on the
windows maintained the beauty of the
formation into pictured mountains and
valleys undisturbed by the heat from
the burning logs.
