matters not, humanity appreciates

are more productive than slender ones.
The tendency for corn to produce suck
ers Is hereditary. Other things being
equal, seed should be taken from stalks
that have no suckers.
Immediately after the seed corn is
gathered the husked ears should be
put in a dry place where there is free
circulation of air and placed in such
a manner that the ears do not touch
cath other. This Is the only safe pro-
cedure. Good seed is repeatedly
ruined because it is thought to be al
ready dry enough when gathered.
Many farmers believe that their au-
tumns are so dry that such care is un-
necessary. Seed corn in every local
ity gathered at ripening time will be
benefited by drying as suggested. If
left in the husk long after ripening it
may sprout or mildew during warm,
wet weather or become infested with
weevils. The vitality of seed is often
reduced by leaving it in a sack or in
pile for even a day after gathering.
ture in the cobs and kernels, the ears
heat or mildew in a remarkably short
time.
The best possible treatment immedi-
ately after gathering is to string the
ears. Ordinarily the best place to
hang strings of ears is in an open shed
or loft. Wire racks are more conven-
lent and in the end cheaper than bind
er twine. Such racks may be made
from electrically welded lawn fencing.
The cutting of the fencing into seed
corn racks is done without any waste.
Only during unusually damp wealth
or at seed-gathering time will fire be
necessary to dry the seed. If heat Is
employed in poorly-ventilated room
it will do the seed ears more injury than
good. If used, the fire should be slow,
long continued, and below the seed
ears, with good ventilation above them.
After hanging in the shed or lying
on the racks for two months the seed
ears should be as dry as bone and
contain less than l per cent of mois-
ture. They can remain where they
dried or be stored in mOuse-proof bar
rels, boxes or crates during the win
ter, but in either case they must not
be- exposed to a damp atmosphere, for
they will absorb moisture and be in
iured. Some farmers place the thor.
oughly dried seed ears in the center
Of wheat bin and fill the bin with

SAVE MAN LABOR BY USING MORE HORSES,
LARGER IMPLEMENTS AND POWER MACHINES

four-plow tractor does more than two
men with two-bottom horse-drawn
plows. The tractor works lust as
well In hot weather, and If desired can
be worked "a hours day with two
or three shifts of men--a big advan-
tage over horse-drawn outfits.
The spike-tooth harrow is an imple-
.ment of comparatively light draft, and
sometimes 1t Is possible to put an ex-
ira section on the average harrow,
thereby increasing considerably the
ground covered without the addition
of any horses to the team. On farms
where two two-horse harrows are used
1t is frequently possible to combine the
two harrows, hitch the four horses as
one team, and operate 1t with one man,
thereby releasing the second man for
other work.
Use of Disk Harrow.
The disk harrow, both single and
double, is found in a wide range Of
widths, and for from two to eight
horses. The use Of a disk harrow
drawn by two horses is not advisable
unless only two horses are available
for power and the amount of disking
to be done is small. A four-horse disk
does twice as much work as two
horse disk, without the same expendi-
ture of man labor.
The use of gang plow drawn by
four or more horses, and of big i'm
plements for narrowing, rolling and
dragging, enables one man to prepare
for planting in given time practically
twice rs much land as would be possi-
BILE if he used the traditional two
horse metheS.

BIG TOLL OF BOIL WEEvILs
Insects Prevented Production of About
100000 Bales Of cotton-other
Causes of Losses.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Boil weevils prevented the produc-
tion of about 100000 bales of cotton
of 800 pounds gross weight and $4,000
tons of cottonseed in 1916, according
to n rough estimate by the bureau of
crop estimates of the United States
department of agriculture. The diff
eulties that are opposed to the MAX
ing Of this estimate are formidable
and cannot be overcome with satisfac-
tion, but the result does not seem TO
be unreasonable, the departments esti
mators say.
Other causes of crop loss were op-
erating in the same year, such as vari-
Gus features Of the weather worms
and plant diseases. and an attempt is
made to separate losses due to these
causes from those caused by the boil
weevil. What would have happened
in crop production had the weevil not
been present is problem involving
uncertainties, and the probability can
he only crudely indicatd.

HURRY CALL FOR AUNT MARY

possible, she had served dinner to her
small son and his visiting cousin, Bill
ly, in the kitchen first and then ban
ished them to the back yard. But
while she gave apparently undivided
attention to her guests conversation,
she was nevertheless conscious of the
very frequent opening and closing of
the back door, of boys footsteps, of
little chickens yeaping and, finally, of
Billy's distressed face peeping in at
the swinging door. But she did not
remember until too late that she had
carefully covered some bread dough
to rise in the one place in the kitchen
where the heat was just right-cn the
little platform under the stove. At
last Billy's head bobbed far enough in
to the room for the company to see
his disturbed look and one guest said !:

Electric Pencil.

A new electric pencil for marking OF
writing on any polished steel or iron
surface is operated as readily as an
ordinary pencil. A stepdown trans
former connects it to lighting socket,
and as the point of the pencil is drawn
over the steel, the resistance to the
passage of the current develops great
heat, etching the surface at the point
of contact. A rheostat gives control
of the depth of etching.
