TESTING SEED CORN
 FOR TERMINATION
Samples Should Be Gotten From Sev- eraI Sources Before Securing Sup ply.

Those who expect to buy seed corn this year ought to be planning ahead both in regard to quantity and quail ty. Last year was rather poor corn season aud much poor ceed may be sold this spring. Testing corn for germination before planting it is all ways worth while. but this spring it seems exceptionally desiratse This seed corn testing is something u-at the children can be interested in and might well be used by teachers of country schools in their agricultural work.
 Men who buy their seed corn aI- ready shelled should never neglect to test it, especially this year with seed which is to be grown for silage. The pest plan is to get samples from seS- buying the supply. If this cannot be done, test what is bought and plant accordingly. Farmers who save their own seed can also afford to test it's shelled or not; for no one can with certainty guess the germinating power Of corn, even on the ear.
 Any kind of q germination test is better than none. but it is good Juds mont to take . little more care there by getting an accurate test. The time and expense Of testing seed corn IF hardly worth considering compared to good stand of corn after plant ing.
 The first necessary considerations of a good test are: l.. Know how many kernels you start with-a "handful' of corn Is not count. @-
 2. Keep moist but not "soaked'- air is necessary.
 3. Keep corn where the tempera- ture is similar to what it will be when planted-from 50 to 70 degrees. Is 4. Make q careful count after 10 to l5 days of all kernels showing strong growth.
 D.. Make. use of the test by dis- card1ng the ear1 or corn showing poor gerninAticn; if this ix imposGhRe. plant more thicl<ly to inSure | full stand.
 Think ever this matter of testing your corn; decide to do 1t this year rust to ses whether it is worth while if for no other reasou.-Benjanafn J. Soq1thwfck

NEW LoNDoN.
chureh AIrest Finished.

The, Montauk Avenue Baptist church members occupied the vestry in the lower part of their new church Feb. 20, 1917, and hope to enter the audi torium at Easter, with all the adja- cent class rooms, which latter are so much needed for the work of the Sun day school Last Sunday the atten- dance at the Sunday school session was 19s. Great inconvenience is ex- perienced in having so many classes in one room that the members are looking forward with much joy. to, the completion of the upper part of the building.
 The strategic position of this church has led many friends to help to re- build 1t. Eighty building permits were granted for new houses in the Fifth ward last year. which gives some idea of the rapid growth of this locality. The Sunday school is practically a community school, for 1t embraces nearly all denominations.
 Already 19,000 have been expended on the new church, and but for the would now be completed. The inter- for walls are all finished, the radiation is complete and the pews have just been installed but having used up n1ittee has stopped for lack of means to complete the work.
 This stoppage is a great disappoint- ment to the church. It is still hoped; however, that the means may be pro- vided to complete the building by the approaching Easter.

Second Prize Winning Menu Prepared
 By Glass at Storrs.

In view of the ever increasing cost of meat ard the dcsirability of add ing variety to the diet by the use of more fruits and vegetables, the Con necticut PomoiogicaL Society end the Vegetable Growers Association at February 5 to offered prizes for an exhibit of dinners which should omit meat.
 Among the other conditions of the contest were the following: The meal should be well selected and consist of butter. It should be sufficient in amount to serve four people. It should not exceed one dollar and a half in cost. It should be planned and prepared by high school pupils with a minimum of assistance from teachers. The meal which won the second prize, a handsome copper cup. was planned and prepared by the Second Year Class in the School of Home Economies Connecticut Agricultural College. The menu was as follows: Nut Loaf Stuffed Potatoes Spinach Nodded with Hard Cooked
 Egg
 Bread and Butter
 Celery and Peper Salad
 French Dressing
 Peach Charlotte
 As the nut loaf is quite 9 hearty dish thin soup and light salad were served, while to balance a starchy dish like the potatoes, a green succulent vegetable was chosen. The dessert was selected to offer fruit in an attractive form, and while light it has much food value on account of the cream used in the preparation.
