AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years Tie American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the Improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And 1t Is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was. that cooking
or toasting tobacco improve it in every
way just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
In this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened 1t to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting:
made II into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
The result has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product In a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.-Adv.

If three or more kernels out Of ten
from any one ear fail TO grow 1t will
be wise TO test every ear in the entire
supply of seed. If the 100 tested ears
show no poor ones, further testing of
the supply Is unnecessary.
Prevention Is Best.
It must not be thought that good re-
suits from the termination tests are a
sure index of high productivity. Ears

ton is better than cure; and in the
case of poor storag, according to seed
corn specialists, cure is impossible.
Corn that was selected wisely in the
field where IL grew, that matured nor
mally and has been preserved properly
in mouse and insect proof storages
will grow and produce satisfactorily.
Because there is such q scarcity of
seed corn in some sections of the corn
belt, the United States department of
agriculture urges that lrmers I'm this

feed corn that would be more valu-
able IL used for seed. To the detri-
ment of the 1913 crop some corn suit
able for seed Is being used to some ex-
tent by farmers who have enough seed
for themselves. This is especially re-
grettable because the corn Is frequent
ly adapted to conditions and is not n
great distance from where IL will be
sadly needed for spring planting.
Get Seed Best Adapted.
Ordinarily seed corn should not be
obtained from distance. The incest
looking seed may be entirely unadapt-
cd and cause the loss of crop. AS
there Is but little "hold over" the
frost-strlcken and drought stricken
areas must get their seed from other
points. IL should be obtained from n
locality having a similar climate, and
obtained now.
If you have large amount, or but n
few bushels of 90-day corn which
terminates well. let your county agent
your state experiment station and the
United States department of agricul
ture know about II. Prompt co-opera'
ton should prove profitable To all and
prevent many failures next year.
