one of the kind that fool us, when
we attempt to Judge by the eye and
the jackknife method Ear No. 2 was
planted by the side of No. II, but
yielded less than half the corn in the
fall.
If we buy the termination boxes
and the cloth and hire for work done,
it will not cost TO exceed sixteen
cents per acre to test every ear for
seed. E'ut this work can be done
very well by hand t''t
Caring for Seed Corn Until Planting
Time
After the seed has been sorted,
tested, shelled, and graded for the
planter, and the bad kernels removed,
it should be placed in, llalf-buhsel
sacks and hung up in dry place.
Put in sacks, separate from the rest,
the seed from the best 100 ears. When
planting, use the seed from "the best
100 ears" on one side of the field
from which to pick your seed corn
for the next years plan ting. 4'isa
We cannot afford to neglect this
important work. If every farmer
would test every ear OF his seed corn
in the winter in the way described
above, the yield would be wonderful
ly increased. No other time will he
so profitable to the farmer as that
spent in testing the vitality OF his
seed and in grading to insure the
planter dropping the proper numher
of kernels in each hill 1t is possible
for everyone to do this work. 1t will
cost nothing but the time, of which
there is plenty at the season when
the work should be done. Every farm
err should realize the Importance Of
testing every ear of his seed corn be-
fore spring work begins. 45 Aa i
The final step concerns the plant
er. Standard planters have plates
adapted to different sizes of kernels.
With seed corn graded to uniform
size, it is easy to select a plate with
holes to fit the kernels, eliminating
the danger of cracked corn and In.

perature and moisture. Any man can
follow the simple directions here
given and plant his fields every year
with good, vigorous growing seed
which he knows is adapted to his
farm.
The matter of seed supply is a
case of avoiding trouble, rather than
trying to remedy the trouble after it
has arrived. If no seed of the 1914
crop is available, the farmers is in
bad shape. He must purchase his
seed, and in doing this he is in
grave danger of obtaining either
poor seed, or seed of late-maturing
varieties.
r5 Home Grown SEED BEST.
Homegrown seed that has been
we'll cared for, even though it was
not thoroughly mature, is almost GER
tain to give better results than i'm
ported seed. BY homegrown seed is
meant seed grown on the farm, or
in the same county, or where the
same general conditions affected the
crop. The point to be emphasized is
that the farmer in Minnesota, or
North Dakota, should not send for
seed grown in southern South Dakota
or Iowa. If this is done, the crop re-
sulting will almost certainly be i'm,
mature next fail when it is neces-
sary to harvest.
An exception to this may be the
dry-land portion of the more south
,ern states. The corn growers. there
are confronted nearly every year
with drought. In order to grow corn
at all, it is necessary to grow early
maturing varieties which will
make" before the drought occurs.
Some excellent crops were secured
in 1915; but in some instances good
crops were secured from varities
which are not early maturing and
therefore not we'll adapted for north
ern planting. Too much care can
not be exercised in learning the
facts before purchasing seed corn
there. This seed will be widely Offer

Washington, D. c., Feb. 23.-The
frequent shortages of seed corn in
the northern states are becoming
more serious as the importance of
the crop in this area increases. In
1903 the acreage of corn in the nor
thern tier of states-New England,
New York, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana,
Idaho, and Washington-was 6,716,-
152 acres. Last year it was 11,121,-
900. IL the industry is to continue to
grow, say specialists in the United
States department of agriculture.
more attention must be paid to the
seed supply and the attempt TO grow
varieties which require a long sea-
son in which to mature must be
abandoned. 49,
Varieties must be found or bred
which will make rapid growth and
mature in the short period between
the last killing spring frost and the
first killing fall frost. When man
aids nature by selecting and pre-
serving seed only from individuals
which show promise, in several
years the habits and characteristics
can be changed considerably, and
perhaps a variety which at first fail
cd to mature may be SO changed that
it becomes suitable. ~
Different Varieties.
Even when variety has been
thus adapted to a locality, so that it
will mature under ordinary condi-
tions, there will come seasons 50 un-
favorable that it will not mature. II

he declares. "They pay it to specu-

And that film itself shows the trend
Until it was produced the public and
the profession supposed that so cents
was the most anybody would ever pay
to see a movie show. But patrons
were quick to see that 1t was purely
a question of paying for value.
They had been willing at first to pay
five cents to see a picture that cost
$500 to produce. Why then, shouldn't
they pay so cents those of them that
had the price--to see picture that
cost sos, 900?
"And when we can put on picture
that will cost 100000 to produce"
says Griffith, "the public will be will
