STORING AND TESTING SEED
CORN

The moisture content of the ears
is usually high at picking time and
it is necessary to reduce this moist
ure content without injuring the
vitality of the seed. When the ears
are brought from the field they
should be placed in a room where
there is a free circulation of air.
They may be hung up by means of
Irvine or in any other convenient
way, so long as they are arranged
so that they may dry out thoroughly.
In sections where the temperature in
winter is likely to fall rather sud-
denly or when it is extremely cold
the addition of artificial heat during
such times is not out of place. Under
ordinary climatic conditions a grad
ual change in temperature will not
seriously affect the seed when once
thoroughly dry.
To get the very best results from
seed corn each ear should be tested
lOI SCI ulIudJIOH. U uldh6 d SdJlS-
factory test remove three or four
kernels from different parts of the
ear and place each group separately
in the germinator. A dinner plate
filled with moistened send, covered
to hold down evaporation, and placed
in a warm room will make a conven-
lent germinator. The kernels from
each ear form a separate group and
at the end of the period, if one or
more kernels from an ear fail to
grow the ear is discarded.
In preparing the seed for planting,
it is we'll to discard all small and ir-
regular kernels in order to get great
er uniformity of crop. If care is ex-
ercised in all these particulars one
is able to get a more uniform stand
and stronger, healthier plants

line cleared while the second mum
Der was being given and the oper-
ator promptly gave the connection.
Did the operator receive credit for
it? No, the party was absolutely
certain that the first report given by
the operator was not true.
You state that the Inland COM
pany has enjoyed a monopoly of the
local telephone business. Were you
not an advocate of one system, or
has the fact, that in the process of
elimination, the Inland company be-
came the successful system, caused
the idea of a monopoly to become
distasteful?
Again referring to the question of
poor service, we desire to call your
attention to the fact that the state
of Washington has provided a COM
mission to investigate, among other
things, the failure of public utilities
to render efficient service. If, as
you allege, your farmer friend has
suffered the loss of 5000, and others
are suffering loss through the inef-
ficient service rendered by the In
land company, do you not think that
it would be the part of wisdom and
also fairness between man and man
to have the whole subject investigat-
ed by an impartial commission.
Would not such a course result in
placing the responsibility for the
failure of service where it properly
belongs and bring about better re-
suits than can be done by the foster
ing of bitterness between neighbors,
or the creating of prejudice against
local enterprise, by insinuations?
The Inland company courts an in
yestigation of the whole matter by
the public service commission, know
ing that such an investigation will
result in the correction of troubles,
difficulties and misunderstanding
and will enable it to give better sery-
ice to all of its patrons.
Very truly yours,
J. C. RUTH,
Manager of the Inland Cooper
ativc Association.

EVERY FARMERS ORGANIZATION
A MARKETING ASSOCIATION

In the State of Washington there
are several hundred subordinate
oranges and farmers unions. Many
farmers who do not belong to the
grange or farmers union are not do
ing anything to improve the farming
industry Every organization that is
designed for better citizenship or
better business is in need of more
men with public spirit and ability. If
Those who believe these associations
are not meeting the needs of their
communities and if they possess
these qualities, would like to sug-
gest that they become members of
them and help make them more USE
full organizations than they are.
BY using the organizations al
ready in existence duplication of
membership fees is saved, the time
and work of organizing is avoided
and there is the further advantage
of dealing with groups of people who
are accustomed to associating to-
gether in their social and business at
fairs Every grange and farmers
union should be made a means of
better marketing methodist. B.

THANKS

To the people of Pullman and vi
cinity | desire to express my deep
appreciation of the generous support
which they gave me in my campaign
for the state legislature would
far rather nave had this proof of the
good will and confidence of my neigh
bors and fellow citizens, as expressed
by their votes. and lost than to have
won without ii.
To the people in other sectors Of
the district, who supported my OPP
ponents, | am also grateful mem
her of the Legislature must neglect
his business for two months ann as
sumo a heavy burden of resp nsi-
tility without any adequate compen-
sation. This Involves considerable
self-sacrifice, and while l was will,
ing to make the sacrifice, 1t is an
agreeable relief to have someone else
assume it.
The fact that my running mate, Mr..
L. c. Miller, received more than his
party vote in Pullman, is also a
source of deep qualification to me,
as it proves that my democratic
friends were loyal to both of us and
did not trade him off for my bene-
fit. My only regret is that the result
of the election in the nation, state
and county is not as satisfactory 70
everyone as it is to me.

LEsPEDEzA IS L[GUME
CROWN ON MANY SOILS
Steals Nitrogen From the Air and En-
riches SoiI-Nutritious and as a
Forage Plant 1t Is Unsurpassed.

Lespedeza or Japan clover is an an
nual plant, which begins growth early
In the spring and continues until killed
by frost. 1t is comparatively slow IN
growth and natures only one crop IN
a season. 1t Is legume and like all
legumes has the power of taking nitro
gen from the air and thereby enrich
ing the soil AS pasture plant its
value is widespread throughout the
South. AS a hay plant its value Is
only beginning to be realized, although
a considerable acreage is now being
harvested annually In southern Arkan-
sas and In several of the Southern
states. In nutritive and feeding value
the crop is known to compare well
with alfalfa.
Lespedeza grows on all types OF
soils down to the poorest and is known
to Withstand severe drouth. 1t is scat
tered along roadsides and in pastures,
and due to its reseeding habits, fre'
quently enters into Bermuda pastures
OF its own free will, thus making a
very desirable combination. AS hay
crop 1t is very well adapted to the
southern counties of the state, where
conditions of soil and climate arc
more favorable to its development.
The principal limiting factor In the
production Of hay is the moisture sup
ply. In dry season the growth Is
comparatively light on poor soils. For
this reason bottom land soils which
have plenty Of moisture will give best
results.
Lespedeza is usually sown In FEB
ruary or March on oats or wheat,
at the rate Of 20-25 pounds to the
acre. The seeds are commonly sown
broadcast after the small grain is up.
After the oats are harvested the
clover covers the ground and is ready
for harvest in September or October.
II provision is made to allow the crop
to reseed, the clover will produce an.
other crop the following year. It IL
frequently necessary to clip back the
weeds with the moving machine in or.
der to help the growing crop.
The average yield Of lespedeza
where grown for hay, ranges from one
10 two tons per acre Where the stand
is good, a ton OF cured hay per acre
is fgured1or each six inches that tho
moving machine cuts. The reason
for this high weight is due to the low
moisture contents of the crop.

Masons Cannot Sign Liquor Petitions.

Signing the petition now being
circulated asking for the repeal OF
the statewide prohibition law is
against Masonic law and will sub
ject Masons who sign the petition
to expulsion or suspension, it is an
nounced by L. P. Kempner, grand
master of the Grand Lodge of Free
and Accepted Masons of the state
of Arkansas.
The statement follows: The
edict passed by the grand lodge of
Arkansas at its session of 1914
makes it Masonic offense to sign
petition for a liquor license, and it
is at least the spirit of the said edict
that it is a Masonic offense to sign
petition to repeal the state pro-
hibition law, so that. saloons may
be brought into the state again
Therefore signing such a petition
will subject any Mason living in
this jurisdiction to expulsion or in
definite suspension, and lodges are
hereby directed to proceed accord
ingly in every case of such viola
ton
The session of 1914 referred tC
was that of the state grand lodge
which forbade Masons signing peti'
tionS for saloons as circulated under
the provisions of the Going law.
