URGED TO
 SAVE OWN SEED CORN
College of Agriculture Points Out Reasons Why Buying Seed Corn
 is a Bad Practice.

The farmers of Arkansas have a very extravagant practice said Earl Fitzpatrick, e3aension agronamist of the College of Agriculture, co-operat- ing with the United States depart ment of agriculture, m the way of feeding up their own good corn dur ing, the winter and then going off some where else in the spring and buying high priced seed corn, Or orse still-planting what is left, ether nubbins or spoiled corn or any thing they can find in the neighbor- hood. Ordinarily the best way for a man to improve his seed corn is to select the best he has grown for any one year and continue to plant the best.
 Buying seed corn is bad practice, said MT. Fitzpatrick. Much of this seed comes from a latitude either north or south of the section where it Is to be planted. In testing out two hundred and twenty three samples of corn he Arkansas experiment station found that native varieties and strains yielded 9.7 bushels more per acre than northern grown varieties and strains, and 3 bushels more than seed of southern sources Seed of southern sources. Seed secured from northern source produces corn that has tendency, especially ln the more humid portions of the state, to. be damagsd by rot, weevi's and ear worms. Buying seed does not enable farmer to improve the welding quality of his corn. The seed is one big factor in the production Of profitable yield. Tests show taat many farmers grow poor corn each year even tho good soil is used and good cultivation given simply be. cause scrub seed is planted. The yield may often be increased by e.ght or ten bushels per acre by using better grade of seed A tushel of corn will plant at least six acres and if the yield can only be increased by two bushels it means in increased production of twelve bush els of corn for every bushel of gooa seed. There is only one way to have good seed each year and that is for every farmer to select and save t himself. It is equally important for loth renter and land owner tc give careful at, ,ation to this mattoc. Buying good seed is an expensive proposition even if it could be secur- ed. Because of this fact most farm
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1916-01-04
CTS buy an inferior grade.
 Select Seed in Field.

Seed selection must be done in the field if the best results are to be scured. For practical purposes the stalk should be of medium height, strong and have a liberal supply of leaves. The ear should be of medium height so that harvesting can be easily done. The ear should point downward and be covered over the tip with the husk. This will lessen damages from weather and insects. These characteristics can all be established to marked degree by tfree or four years careful selection from the fild. Some of our prAc- tical farmers follow the practice of selecting the good ears from stalks Of the desizcd type as they are harvesting the crop. These ears are thrown in box placed in some con venient place on the wagon. By using ibis method practically no time Is lest. Save about fifty ears for each acre to be planted. In the spring the corn can be gone over again and only the choicest ears saved.
 As corn has already been harvested this season the farmer should get into his crib at once and select the seed. The corn Is apt to be a little damp and freezing or heating will damage the growing power of the s.ed if left in the main crib. In feed ing from the, crib. the best ears are tften taken so that only the nubbins will be left by spring. Nubbins tend to produce nubbins. Seed corn should pe put in a dry place before winter sets in and kept free from weevils. Weevils can be controlled if, they give trouble by putting the corn in. tight barrel or box and placing saucer or cup containing an ounce of carbon b sulphide on top of the corn. The barrel should be covered with a heavy carpet or canvas. The fumes from the carbon bisulphide will set tie down in the corn and kill the weevils. The fumes are inflammable and care must De taken to keep all fire away from them.

PENNSYLVANIA DIVORCE LAW

Under the new divorce law of
 Pennsylvania 1t is as easy to secure a divorce ill that state as. 1t Is in
 Nevada, says the Memphis Com mercial-Appeal. Unless the law Is |reld unconstitutional the state will
 be conspicuous. among the states, of the union because of its lax moral lcode. ~
 The divorce law of Nevada has
 been the fragrant shame of the coun- |try. It has made the state notorious.
 T'eing comparatively new state, With but 3 scant population, the law |ai aitNevada has been in measure con- |d0hed. The people are not of the EhsglE~ 4ncpal te Adency that one ex- fects to find in a big state like Penn
 s,lvania..
 The Pennsylvania law was passed
 in 1913 and has been thoroughly in |vestigated by a committee represent iEg the Philadelphia Bar association.
 The validity of the act is now to be tested in the superior courts of the
 state. Should 1t be. pronounced un- constitutional and void the divorce obtained under 1t will presumably be
 invalidated. This will cause much
 inconvenience and confusion.
 The act as it stands today allows a
 person who has married out of the
 state and who alleges, as cause for separation, an c,fense to have oc- |curred outside of the state to estab-
 fish a divorce in that state. It is un-
 necessary to serve notice that such a suit is contemplated. The divorce can be obtained in secret and the defen- dant need know nothing of such a proceeding until the decree is enter |ee. Under this law all that is nec- essary to do is to quietly move into Pennsylvania. become . citizen of the state, secure a divorce and move back again to rhe former place of resi-
 dence. Almost any ground can bs used .ina the plea and the respcnden1 will be none the wiser.
 It makes g gratuitous gift of the facilities of the pennsylvania courts for obtaining divorces for foreigners and to citizens of other states. A W oman seeking divorce does not have to be citizen of Pennsylvania tut must merely live there long enough to enable her to claim tha; she is resident of the state. Whil: Her husband need not be personally served or even heard from in the sub. Isaquent procdings.
 It Is an act purely and simply ladapted to the interests of the divorce lawyers of the state and is menace Ito society in Pennsylvania. It is ' disgrace that such measures shoul: lever pass and gives the state, a bae Reputation, The next Legislature iskould repeal the law.
