Selected Seed Corn
Means Bigger Crops.

That more than 5000, 600 acres of
corn will be planted in Mississippi this
year, for which we will need ready for
use, carefully selected, graded and
tested, at least $50, 900 bushels of seed
corn, is the recently expressed opinion
of J. c. Robert, head of the Agronomy
department of the Mississippi A. & M.
College.
In urging farmers to select their
seed corn, DR.. Robert says that i'm
%provement in quantity and quality of
corn by seed selection may be counted
as clear profit, since it costs just as
much to prepare the land, plant and
cultivate poor corn as it Toes to raise
good corn. While the surest method
of securing good seed corn is to select
it from the field during the summer,
the type and uniformity Of corn can be
greatly improved by crib selection.
Select the ears that represent the type
of corn wanted.
If the corn has been properly selected
and cured the chances are that it will
give a good stand when planted. Its
terminating power, however, can be
accurately determined only by making
a test of each ear The rag doll''
test is offered by DR.. Robert, as a SIM
pie and easy termination test. In
making this test a piece of heavy
sheeting cloth IL inches wide and 5
feet long, is marked off with an indelli-
BILE pencil into three inch squares, max
ing As squares to the cloth. Put the
cloth into boiling water for 10 minutes
to thoroughly purify it for the test.
Number the squares from ! to As with
corresponding numbers for the ears to
be tested.
Carefully remove with a knife blade
six kernels from each ear-two from
about two inches from the butt, two
from the center, and two, two inches
from the tip. Turn the ear one-sixth
around after taking out each kernel to
secure an average sample. When the
six kernels have been placed in each of
the AZ squares, the cloth is carefully
rolled up so that none of the grains be
misplaced and a string tied around the
center of the roll to hold the kernels in
place. The rag doll" is now placed in
a wooden bucket filled with warm
water. An old sack or newspaper is
wrapped round the bucket to retain the
heat. In three or four hours time pour
the water off, cover the bucket, set it
in a warm place and keep it warm
throughout this test. At the end of
six to eight days the doll may be un.
wrapped and the per cent of healthy
vigorous kernels in each year determ.
ined. Plant none of the ears that give
less than IS per cent vigorous germi-
nation.

A Correction.

In ali article which appeared in The
Sentinel last week in reference to the
suits filed by the state revenue agent
for back taxes on certain cotton firms
it was stated that the attorneys for tha
revenue agent was unable to proceed for
the reason that Ex-Sherifi West had not
made the cotton assessment as re-
quired. The statement in reference TO
Mr.. West was based on a statement
made by Ex-GOv. Longino, attorney for
the revenue agent, but was incorrect
and The Sentinel takes great pleasure
in making the correction as a matter of
justice to Mr.. West.

When You Become a
CONSCIOUS" Reader
of Advertising
BY j. r. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager Of Wanamaker's, Philadelphia

When you learn to read your advertising as you read YOUR
news, the cost Of everything you wear or use is going to be lowered
for you.
If you know how much money it lakes to soak an idea ITO
your mind subconsciously yo- would he ashamed Of YOUR mind.
II actaaiiy takes as long as two years sometimes to get you to
think and say a certain word.
Its like teaching a baby to tall.
Every known trick of psychology is brought to bear on Won.
Advertisers have even been known to print their advertisement
upside down, hoping, perhaps, that if you had to stand on your
head to read it You might remember what they say.
And what you so often refuse to receive with your will the
camera of your eye records in spite of you. So that 96a of what
you buy you buy through advertising whether you know it or not.
And yet, in the face of all this, the advertising method of
selling things is twenty times cheaper than any other method
known.
Think how much cheaper still it would be if YOU would only
read your advertising consciously instead of buying through 4
in spite of yourself.
The merchant who doesn't advertise hasn't ever q chance
with the one who does.
Your eve is taking photographs every time YOU turn these
pages. You couldn't get away from these advertisements if you
tried. Even the man who claims not to see them at all is record
ing them all the time. Every merchant who appears here iS
telling you his story every day whether you know it or not.
All we are trying to do is to make you conscious readers of
advertising instead of subconscious readers. This is being done
equally for your benefit and for ours.
Every time YOU look for the advertising in this paper instead
OF making it look for you you bring down your cost of living, you
increase the buying power of your money and you get a better
quality for the price. This is true because the men who advertise
are always the best merchants. They are the ones who last. The
others flicker up for a little while and then 20 out. That's the
proof.
On the other hand, every time we get a hundred more Of
Using news as well as to the general news, we make this a better
medium for our advertisers. We give them more for their money
because we give them your will.
And before we are through every subscriber we have will be
reading his advertising consciously day by day-4ever fear. For
this is another psychological law.

MR.. BORAH'S ENGLISH

Among the congressional publica
ions that never seem to us a vast
OF money or a tedious infection upor
the recipient are the speeches of Mr.
Borah made on the floor of the sen
ate.
Mr.. Borah does not speak at great
length. He depends for making his
impression On the forcefulness of the
words he selects, not upon the num-
Der of them.
1t is always a treat to read what
Mr.. Borah writes because he has
something profoundly worth while to
say and because the display of his
skill in the use of his mother-tongue
is a constant and peculiarly keen de-
light to the reader.
A recent address on armed mer-
chant ships, in which he deplores the
vaciIlating and un-American handling
of the whole Mexican problem and
the u%surpation of the senate's pow
ers by the most arrogant ruler the
American people have ever endured,
is a striking instance of his power to
use words effectively. The conclud-
ing paragraph illustrates the point.
81 think, Mr.. President, that it was
most unfortunate to dispose of it as
we did. l am not afraid of war if it
is necessary to protect American
rights. | am not afraid of sacrifices
if they are necessary to maintain this
republic. We can not hope to play a
part in the great affairs of the world
if we are not brave enough to make
a sacrifice for our rights. | am not
afraid of that condition, but l am
afraid of the subserviency, the deg
radiation of the American senate in
the eyes of the American people. This
body which has been characterized as
the greatest legislative and delibera-
tive body in the world has no further
step of humiliation to take. When a
great world crisis is on, and not
only when the eyes of III hundred
million of people were centered upon
us but the eyes of hundreds of mil
lions of people throughout the civil
lied world were conferred upon us, we
come here and tinidly reach a con-
under the direction of some
power beyond the senate chamber. |
rather a thousand times that
our battleships should be sunk-we
could rebuild them-than to have the
honor and the independence of this
body thus compromised before the ma
ions of the earth. 1t will no longer

of Germany. 1t will no

Intervention Of State Necessary to Protect
Weak Against Strong


THE old Met it alone" attitude can be no longer adopted by the state
toward its industries under modern conditions.
Under simpler conditions of earlier settlement days the edo
nothing" attitude probably did no great harm, but with the present con-
ditions of intensive industrial organization it can no longer be main
tanned that THERE is NO NEED OF THE ASSISTANCE OF
THE STATE TO PROTECT THE WEAK AGAINST THE
STRONG AND TO INSURE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.
The position taken in connection with regulation of the railroads in
the seventies has become familiar since that time through different lines
of corrective legislation.
Today in some lines of work a man may not work more than eight
hours, while on certain work no women may be employed. In some states
a man under certain conditions may not be paid for his labor in any me-
dunn other than the coin of the realm.
The baker must bake under sanitary conditions, the manufacturer
must have fire escapes on his buildings, and when he dies he can only
have a certain number of carriages in his funeral procession.
WE HAVE COME TO A CONDITION WHERE PUBLIC AUTHORITY IS
MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY CALLED ON TO MAINTAIN TRUE
EQUALITY OF RIGHT.
