Special to Times Republican.
New Sharon, Sept. 24.-In an edi-
torial last week an Iowa daily paper
advocated tho saving of two years
supply Of seed corn as an act of wis
dom on the part OF the farmer this fall.
The reading OF the article suggested
inquiry as to why this would not BE
a very good thing to do. Probably not
one farmer in fifty, possibly not one In
a hundred. gathers enough seed in any
one season to plant him two successive
years, yet practically every one to
whom the subject was mentioned de-
clared the idea a good one. One man
said: 1.-THE plan is a good one. 1t
would require less labor to secure a
two-year supply at one time than a
single years planting two years in sue
cession. The objection that two-year-
old seed is not reliable is shown this
year to have no foundation in fact for
nine tenths of the acreage in this To-
cality was grown from old seed and
the stand here is one of the best we
ever had" Another farmer favoring
the idea pointed out field planted with
four year-old seed and said the only
reason why seed more than one year
old failed to grow was that it was not
good in the first place or else wasn't
properly taken care Of afterward. A
tcnaa. farmer said the idea is not prac-
ticed on many rented farms because
of lack Of a proper place for the seed
as it is being dried out, Another de-
clared that his father never used to
think Of saving seed corn but went into
his crib in springtime and found seed
as fast as he could get his hands on
the ears; that next spring the same
thing can be done because the corn has
matured this fall before frost came
as it used to do "in his fathers day"
After a day of this kind of seed corn
talk the impression left was that the
average farmer believes it would be
pretty good plan to keep one year
ahead on seed; also that not more than
one man in a whole township will actu-
ally save enough to plant next spring
and the succeeding one. Many farmers
last week were out thru their fields

DON'T TURN CLOCK BACK.
Army Of Repair Men Would Be Needed
f Hands Were Turned Back.

Chicago. Sept. 24.-When the nation
yawns and takes an extra hours sleep
on Oct. 81. the date set for ending the
daylight saving season, there is grave
danger of causing a great waste in the
cleckmaking industry.
There must be no turning back the
hands of the clock. time recording ex-
merits declare, in a warning to the pub
lic Such action would fairly shatter
the morale Of the time-recording and
master clocks and all clocks STRIKING
the hours and would require the serV-
ices of an army Of repair men. thus
causing an unnecessary waste OF man
power.
Clocks should be stopped for one
hour at a. m. on Oct. 81: the hanos
should not be turned back SAID
Charles H. Crooks, of the Cincinnati
Time Recorder Company.
"rhere are approximately 10000 time
recorders and 10000 master and con-
trolling clocks in Chicago. and If these
were turned back the resulting trouble
calls would swamp every repair man
in the city. The same conditions apply
to other cities"
The time service department OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company
offers what they consider a better
plan.
Turn the hands around eleven
hours" is the advice Of this company.
while it is all right to stop clocks
some difficulty will be found in start
ing them properly again. By turning
the hands forward until the time in
dictated is one hour less tnan at the
start Of the change the same result as
stopping will be had
The clockmakers say: Just as sure
ly as was Lots wife turned into
pillar of salt when she turned back to
gaze upon Sodom. Father Time will be
turned into a repair shop If he turns
back to bemoan the fact that he must
quit saving to help win the war"
