MONGOLIA PROBE TODAY.

Investigation of the accident on
board the An erican ship Mongolia
when two Red Cross nurses were
killed, will begin today before the
Senate Naval Committee. Senator

author of a resolution which promotes
the inquiry. He introduced his reso-
luton just one week ago, and pro-
vided that a committee Of FIVE SEN
ators be appointed. However, on mo-
ton of Senator Swanson, ranking
member of the Committee on Naval
Affairs, Frelinghuysen agreed to al

PROPER SHELTER AND PAINT Il
Many Nickels Can BE Saved by Over
hauling and Painting Machinery
on Rainy Winter Days.

(By J. r. KICKS. Mississippi Station.)
"A nickel saved is q nickel made"
Many nickels, and dollars, too, can be
saved in shop bills and the cost Of new
farm machinery by hauling in all plows,
harrows, hay rakes and other imple-
ments and storing them under shelter.
Still more nickels can be saved It the
odd times and rainy days during the
winter are used to overhaul and re-
paint these machines.
The present cost of machinery makes
1t more than ever necessary that every
tool be made to do its maximum
amount Of service. Thousands of dol
lars that go out each spring for farm
machinery can be kept at home If
farmers will build implement sheds in
stead Of making use of convenient
trees or leaving their tools to warp,
crack and rust out in the open field.
Paint, too, is a wonderful preserver
of wood, and on the metal parts 1t pre-
vents the formation of a coat Of rust
which not only looks bad, but eats
away practically as much Of the metal
as Is worn off by a season of hard use.
Grease or oil will preserve the mold
boards and other bright-wearing parts
where paint cannot be used.

IC0TT0NY MAPLE SCALE PEST
Where Trees Are Evidently Suffering
From Attack of Insects Protec-
ton 10 Necessary.

Among other trees and woody
plants often more or less injured by
the cottony maple scale, are the elm,
honey locust, black locust, black wal
nut, sumac, willow, poplar, beech,
hawthorn, bittersweet, grapevine, and
Virginia creeper. Injury to oaks is
reported from Georgia and other south
ern states. Honeysuckle, dogwood,
mulberry, snowberry, smoketree, syrin-
ga and others are sometimes injured.
Something over 5000 eggs are usu-
ally laid by each female, records Of
3,4OO being known.
It Is usually difficult to say whether
trees infested by this pest should re-
ceive special treatment, or whether
they may be left to the natural course
of events. This scale is extremely
subject to parasites and attacks Of
other insect enemies, particularly the
ladybugs and their larvae. Neverthe-
less, where trees are evidently suffer-
ing from the scale attack it is always
prudent. and often necessary, to take
artificial means Of protection.

(By c. vROOMAN.)

1t is easy to test seed of all kinds,
both for termination and for purity.
For the termination test you need
only a box that you can make in an
hour. For the purity test you need
only a 50-cent microscope that will
enable you to count the weed seeds in
a given number of clover or alfalfa
seeds.
One ear of seed corn will produce
about five bushels-if all the grains
grow-and corn is 60 cents a bushel.
That dead ear is a dead loss of So. If
you catch but one bad ear in testing,
you save good days wages-if you
find the average number of bad ones,
you can save weeks wages in an
afternoon. Still there are farmers who
think testing seed is just foolish SCI
entific frill.
Testing takes only odd hours and it
may make the difference between a
big crop and crop that does not pay
for the labor. of cultivation. When you
have tested your seed, you know that
your crop will grow if conditions are
right-that II you have to replant or
reseed it will not be your fault.
Test Before Planting.
Just before planting time. germina-
ton tests should be made Of each ear.

NEED OF OFFICE EQUIPMENT
Average Farmer Should Have Suitable
Place for Filing Away Letters,
Catalogues, Etc.

The average farmer needs a GER
tain amount Of Office equipment, but
this need not necessarily be expensive
nor elaborate. Among the conveniences
needed by the business farmer is a roll
top desk in which unfinished work may
be left and the desk closed. With the
old-fashioned hinged-lid desk all work
had to be cleared away before the desk
could be closed.
The drawers Of such a desk should
be utilized for filing away farm let
tiers, catalogues, etc. Some desks are
even provided with small iron fire.
proof safe in one side Of the lower
compartments for the safety of valu-
able papers which sometimes must be
kept temporarily on the farm.

ADJUSTED IN WRONG PLACE

Preservers Brought Death to

After the wreck Of a French liner
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life-prcservers on.
These life-preservers were fastened
upon the bodies, but round the middle
instead Of under the arms, and the

the body had tipped the head under

inevitably drowned.
Now it appears that the preater,

TESTING FOR TERMINATION AND PURITY

checkerboard lacing of Irvine across
the top. These squares should be
about ~ inches on each side. The
tray should be filled level full of loose
sand, and in each square are planted
the seeds to be tested from an indi-
vidual ear. The sand should be well
moistened when the seeds are first put
In the tester, and the tester kept In a
warm room. Sprinkle on enough water
from day to day to keep the sand moist,
and after six or seven days examine
the sprouting seeds, and save for
planting only those ears from which all
the kernels gave strong sprouts.
Best Stand as Result
II seed corn is taken care of in this
way, and every ear tested for ger
mination, the result will be the best
stand it is possible to obtain under
weather and soil conditions at the time
of planting. Before testing germina-
ton, the farmer should examine each
ear and throw out all the ears which
do not look right or which have sew
eral withered or damaged kernels. He
should strive to make up his seed from
ears which In size and appearance
seem to be normal for his variety of
corn. Seed corn should be shelled by
hand to avoid the risk of damage by
mechanical Smelling. Before Smelling,
the owner should pick out peculiar

WORKING WITH FRUIT TREES
Often Benefited by Application of M.
: trate Of Soda and Acid Phosphate
Around Bottom.

Apple trees in bearing. IL making a
poor growth, are often benefited IL two
or three pounds Of nitrate Of soda and
twice as much Of acid phosphate are
sprinkled around each tree. Do not
apply fertilizers within two or three
feet of the trees.
Fruit trees seldom need fertilizers
before they come into bearing, nor in
any case If they are making a good
growth. Forcing fruit trees, especial
~ peach, into vigorous growth lowers
their resistance to cold and delays fruit
production.
