Early and Late Seed Corn Tests.

Early and Late Seed Corn Tests.
Every farmer who plants corn tests
his seed corn. Some farmers test
theirs before planting and some test
theirs by planting. Those who test
their seed corn before planting are able
to plant good seed and get a larger
yield as result Those who test their
seed corn by planting do not know
what kind Of a yield they will get I'M
TIL the end Of the season when it is
too late to do anything to improve
the crop. Fortunately, more and more
corn raisers now test their seed corn
before planting. Certainly precau-
tions should be taken, however, in
making ones tests:
The exact number Of kernels taken
from each ear should be known.
The seed being tested should be kept
moist, but not soaking wet and should
have air.
The temperature at which the corn
should be kept should be about that
to which the corn will be exposed
when planted-from SO to 70 degrees
After 10 or Is days kernels showing
a strong growth should be counted.
Ears showing poor termination
should then be discarded. If there is
not enough corn for this then, kernels
from such ears should be planted
more thickly to provide for a full
stand.

Crochet Club Entertained.

One of the most unique social affairs
of the season was held last Friday af.
ternoon and evening, at the home OF
Mrs. J. C. Herdliska. The event
marked the close of the Royal Crochet
clubs activities until September
next.
The ladies met in the afternoon and
turned the wheels Of time backward
to the days of their childhood, so fa1
as dress, games and manners could
produce such a reversal. All the cos.
tunes were intended to revive the days
Of their youth with the exception of
one lady who appeared in the historic
pantalette and apron Of 1880.
The husbands Of the ladies were in
vited to seven o'clock dinner, which
they did full justice to and pronounced
perfect. No expense had been spared
in the preparation of the dinner, pota-
toes actually being one Of the special
extravagances Of the menue.
One of the prettiest features of the
occasion was the receiving Of the
guests by Mrs. Herdliska's 15-year-old
daughter, Ruth, who was dressed in
her grandmother's wedding dress, the
material Of which had been purchased
years ago in the historic city of Rome,
Italy. With a few penciled wrinkles
and powdered hair, Miss Ruth made a
