CAREFULLY LOOK OVER SEED
Sheiled to Secure Uniformity in
Size and Shape.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Shelled corn is not easily graded
and all seed corn should therefore be
looked over carefully before the ears
are shelled. The grading is done to
secure uniformity of size and shape
in each lot of kernels, so that they will
be dropped evenly from the compliant
er when it is set for special lots Of
seed.
If the seed ears vary as to size of
kernel they should be separated into
two or three grades, according to the
type Of grain they bear. These grades
should be shelled separately-always
by hand and not by a mechanical she'll
Grand then tested in the corn plant
er After finding the numbers on the
planter plates which drop the kernels
most uniformly, each lot should be
numbered with corresponding figures.
All this should be done when work is
slack in the winter and before the
spring rush begins.
Be sure there is enough for two
years planting. You may need it your
self If the first planting is drowned
out; and there never was time when
there was not demand for seed corn

PATRIOTISM ON The
AMERICAN FARM
BACK TO The Land

I'VE can count to the utmost degrGa
on the patriotism OF the American
farmer" Herbert Hoover sail in a re-
cent conference with Food Administra-
ton workers Of the different states.
This was the message brought back
by the Kentucky representative who
attended the conference.
Food must first be raised before 1t
can be sent to American soldiers
abroad and their English, French, Bel.
gian and Italian associates in war.
The only people who can raise food in
large quantities are the farmers, and
the Kentucky soldiers at Hattiesburg
and Camp Zachary Taylor are counting
on the folks back home producing the
largest food crop in the history of the
state.
People who live in cities and small
towns in Kentucky are asked to help
win the war by raising their own back
yard gardens. Every time city fam
lily raises bushel of beans in a garden
the Food Administration is enabled to
take a bushel Of beans from the farm
and send them to Europe. Gardeners
are urged to raise enough beans and
potatoes to last all next winter, and to
store them on their own premises.
The Food Administration announces
that the entire country east of the
Mississippi River would have been
short of potatoes this last winter eX-
cept for this home supply raised in
gardens last year, but because they
were raised in gardens potatoes today
are plentiful and one of the cheapest
foods in the market, and every one
should use them freely. The man who
can raise a garden this year, and does
not do so, will not only fail to help
win the war, but will be in actual
danger of himself suffering for food
next winter.

DAIRY
FACTS
ENORMOUS WASTE IN WINTER
Minnesota Dairy Expert Makes Start
ling Statement as to Amount Of
Milk That Is Wasted.

Three and One-half billion pounds of
milk are practically wasted in the
dairy states every winter. This makes
21,000,000 pounds every day. The fore
going is a startling statement, but II.
NJ. WaShburn of the division of dairy
husbandry, Minnesota College of Agri-
culture, says it is true. The farmer
feeds most of his skim milk to hogs.
This milk, fed to hogs, produces only
20 per cent of its energy value in edi-
bic pork. Eighty per cent of its ener-
gy value is lost. Mr.. Washburn says,
though, that some milk is necessary to
start pigs off strongly.
Much more of the energy value Of
the skim milk will be saved if it is
made into cottage cheese. Every 100
pounds of skim milk, says Mr.. Wash
burn, is equivalent to 20 pounds of or
binary meat, and will make 10 pounds
of cottage cheese. The cheese con-
tains about Onc-third more protein
and One-thrd less energy than meat,
and is therefore essentially equivalent
to meat.
