benefit than the one who produced IT.
Co.operative' Is not as some unoeI-
stand the term. namely. to combine "
beat the other fellow or to put some
one out Of business, but to work To-
gether for the mutual good of all.
We have done but little propaganda
in the way Of trying to add TO our
membership because we wished hrst
to put it on working basis and nave
something definite to show.
A speaker at our last annual meet
ing made the statement that the loss
sustained by the farmers IN TIE
United States from the use of poor
seed amounted to more than the loss
es from all other sources combined,
and he would not except even un-
favorable weather conditions. If this
is true, and l believe it to be IN ac-
cordance with my own observations
you can readily see that 1t woulo ng-
ure an amount almost beyond our
comprehension. This gives some idea
of the scope of the field in which we
are at work and what we aim to ac-
compliSh.
Seed improvement should appeal to
all as it Is an undertaking which helps
people to help themselves, and there Is
no possible way of injuring anyone or
putting anybody out of business.
Some one has said: "One Of the
best services a man can render his
state Is that of finding good seed as 1t
re-inforces and materially increased
the result obtained from labor on the
land"
With farm products taken as
whole selling for higher prices than
were ever known before in the worlds
history no farmer considering the
high cost of production, can afford to
use anything but the best of seed.
Ten per cent increase in the field
crops of Maine, which has been shown
to be low estimate of the increase IN
yield of improved Seed would amount
to more than 100000 annually, and
what is more when we improve the
crop which is. not one of the least OF
our objects.

PHONOC RAP H |S USED TO TRAIN
 THE VOICE

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Dec. 1. - When music pupil or singer nowadays feels that he is going off a bit in his sing ing and is 'flatting" some of his notes, but still does not know exactly where the trouble lies, all he has to do is to make a photographic record of his voice and then listen to it as the in strument plays his song. This is in accordance with the latest method of teaching music as employed at the School of Music of the University of Iowa
 The method was originated by Pro lessor William F. Hays, who says it is quite simple. When a student be gins voice culture a record of his voice is cut Other records are made as he progresses. When the professor or pupil wishes to study defects care fully or to ascertain how the voice is developing or what progress is being made, it is very easy to play the re cord on the phonograph as many times as may be necessary.
