sion awarded $500 compensation to
Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph Bake against

slightly less than Is, was killed June
q, while engaged as electrician
helper. The child labor law provides
that no one under is may be employed

ruled, however, that responsibility as
to age of employees rests with the EN-
ployer. The regular award is four
times the sum contributed by a minor

Bake case, $500, but due to the child
labor law violation the sum was
trebled.

HERE'S A WAY TO
TEST SEED CORN

Every ear of seed corn should be
tested before the crop is planted. This
precaution against a poor stand has
been made necessary by the shortage
of good seed this year. While seed
corn testing is the only safe practice
in ordinary years, it is doubly i'm
portant this year because a big crop
of corn will be necessary to meet the
country's demands for food and feed.
The department of farm crops of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture offers the following sugges-
ton for testing seed corn. This is one
of the simplest ways by which the test
may be made.
Usually several shallow wooden
trays are made and nearly filled with
sawdust or fine soil. They may be of
any size desired, but tray about 2
feet square is perhaps the most con-
venient one to handle. A cotton cloth
the size of the tray is marked OFF in
2 inch squares, each square numbered,
and laid on top of the soil. The ears
to be tested are laid out in sets of 10,
each ear being given the same num-
Der as one of the squares on the cloth.
Taking a set of ears, remove 6 kerr
nels from an ear and place them on
the square in the cloth, which bears
the ear number. Do this for all the
ears. When all the squares on the
cloth are filled, the kernels are covered
with a second cloth, a third cloth is
placed over this an inch of sawdust or
soil is spread on top and thoroughly
wet with warm water. In place Of the
layer of soil, pad filled with sawdust
may be used to cover the tester. This
is somewhat cleaner and more con-
venient than loose soil or sawdust.
When all the trays are filled, stack
them in warm place and wet the top
layer of soil in each tray with warm
water once day for or days. At
the end of this time remove the top
cloth and examine the kernels. If the
kernels from any ear do not show
strong termination, that ear should
not be used for seed.
By the use of the termination test
all ears unfit for seed may be found
and thrown out. The result will be
better stand and thriftier growth
of the young crop.

THE WAR FINANCE '
CORPORATION

The bill recently introduced in Con-
gress for the creation of the "War
Finance Corporation" with a capital
stock of five hundred million dollars,
all of which is to be subscribed by
the United States, should be regarded,
says Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo, primarily as a measure to en-
able the banks, both national and
State banks and trust companies, to
continue to furnish essential credits
for industries and enterprises neces
sary or contributory to the prosecu-
ton of the war.
The government has made and is
making through the Liberty Loans
such large demands upon the lenable
capital of the country that the banks
often have been prevented from Civ
ing needed help to private enterprises,
some of which are performing vital
service in connection with the war.
The War Finance Corporation is de-
signed as war measure to give relief
from this condition during the period
of the war and Secretary McAdoo as
serts that the mere existence of the
corporation would of itself do so much
to maintain confidence that it's actual
aid would be necessary only in rela-
lively few cases.
This is no hastily conceived legis-
lation. Secretary McAdoo has taken
the most expert advice available and
the methods adopted in the other
countries at war have been thoroughly
studied. The proposed law embodies
the basic principles Of similar laws
which have been tried in Europe. Its
purpose is to attain the most efficient
use of our country's tremendous finan-
cial resources for the government and
for private enterprises, which are all
necessary to the welfare of the coun-
try and our success in this war.

PROFIT BY COM
MUNITY BREEDING

Several Missouri counties have il
Illustrated the value of community
livestock breeding. For instance, the
agricultural representative of a SOU
them railroad, who visits. Missouri
several times each year to purchase
livestock, said that he always went to
Carroll county for Aberdeen Angus
Cattle, because there he found the
breeders, the cattle, livestock or
ganization which could place the cat
tie with no trouble or expense to him
and which stood back of their sales.
This particular county has done no
more than other counties can do if
livestock men will make the effort.
Several Missouri counties have
thoroughly demonstrated the eff
cheney of organized effort. In one day,
johnson county, Mo-, Shorthorn breed
ers sold 50 head Of bulls, cows and
heifers, for more than $1,000. This
number came from eight different
herds. The number contributed from
each herd ranged from one to Is head,
which shows how the breeder with on
ly one had equal opportunity with
larger breeders. Another instance of
the same sort occurred when the st.
Francois County Hereford Breeders
Association sold SO bulls in one group
to a single buyer. Missouri has a
reputation for mule production but ap-
parently this industry is centralized
in a few counties. The "Kingdom of
Galloway" Galloway county,, among
other counties, has become noted as
a mule producing and feeding center
Buyers visit such places because they
have the numbers and different types
from which to select. These are only
a few instances in which community
effort has brought reputation and
wealth to the respective communities.
Opportunities exist for still further
effort.
Details on community livestock
breeding will be found in Extension
Circular 80 of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture, Column
bia, Mo.

ASSOCIATION
TO TEST SEED CORN

The Missouri Corn Growers Asso-
citation in its annual meeting at Col
umbia during Farmers Week passed
resolutions urging seed corn testing
by all members and by all farmers.
The object of this resolution is to
stimulate seed corn testing which will
insure increased production. An in
crease in the corn crop is necessary to
supply food for the population of this
country and feed for the fat produc-
ing animals. The Missouri Corn
Growers Association members have
pledged themselves to test for germ
nation each ear of corn which they
plant and to make every effort to in
crease production by intensive meth
DDS as well as by increased acreage.
The members further pledged them
selves to carry this message to their
neighbors and persuade them to
adopt similar methods.

LIME AN ABSOLUTE REQUISITE

Approximately two-thirds of the
samples of Missouri soils examined
have shown a greater or less need of
lime. About one fourth of these have
shown lime need of two tons or ov-
er in the acre seven inches.
Missouri has much limestone suita
BILE for agricultural purposes. The
most extensive region of high grade,
high calcium stone extends from
Southwest Missouri in a northeastern
ly direction to the Missouri river,
spreading out and covering the east
ern part of the State, both north and
south. The Ozark limestones contain
much magnesium, and while these are
not usually considered so desirable as
the high calcium stones they are yet
very satisfactory for agricultural pur-
poses.--ulletin LAG, Missouri College

of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs.

"Our five-year-old son, Paul, caught
severe cold last winter that settled
on his lungs and he had terrible cough
ing spells. We were greatly worried
about him as the medicine we gave
him did not help him in the least. A
neighbor spoke so highly of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy that I got a
bottle of it. The first dose benefited
him so much that | continued giving
it to him until he was cured" OBJ

1NCUBATORS TO AID

That the farmers near !, Stewards

the fact that in one week following
the poultry rally held by repre-
sentative of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture and the

culture, one firm in Stewartsvillet sold
IL incubators. These people realize
the advantage Of the incubator in Sc

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese, tea
and boiled milk. On the other hand,
raw fruits, especially apples and ba-

wheat bread promote movement of
the bowels. When the bowels are

way is to take one or two of Cham
