SAVE LABOR BY
SEED-CORN SELECTION
THE LARGER THE CROP ON A
GIVEN AREA THE LESS MAN
POWER REQUIRED

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. ID
Saving seed corn saves labor. This is
one of the main reasons for careful
seed-corn selection, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which points out that just as much
labor is often employed in produc-
ing nubbins as would be required TO
grow full ears. The more bushels
of corn to the acre. as the result of
good seed, the less the labor required
to grow each busheI.
To save labor during the prepare.
ton of the ground, and the planting
cultivation, and harvesting of the
crop in relation to the quantity of
corn grown, the wise farmer will now
devote special attention to selecting
two years seed supply. He will
not mako seed gathering a merely
incidental operation, connected with
harvesting or shucking, but VIII de.
vote his whole attention to the ssleo-
ton of the best ears as they grow
in the field, under the conditions
the crop has to contend with BY
thus using his time this fall he will
save the labor of many men all lext
season.
In other words, says the depart
ment, the stalk of corn that produced
well under ordinary field conditions.
in competition with other stalks, is
likely to transmit high yielding ability
to its seed. Where field seed sslec-
ton results in doubling the acro
yield. the result is practically eqdiva-
lent to cutting down by one-half the
labor required to produce the crop.

Columbia paid tribute Sunday after
noon to the memory of Lieut.. James
c. Wooten, the hero who did his best
and died with smile upon his lips.'
Friends and admirers Of the young
hero assembled at the First Methodist
church heard three addresses 10y Dr
w. B. Kicks, Ur. j.. &. Molloy and Hon
j. H. Dining in eulogy Of him. Each
address was based upon different
phase Of life, but into all was woven
the spirit of his heroic sacrifice.
Dr. Kicks, as pastor OF the church
! Of which Lieut.. Wooten became a
member when only 10 years of age, re-
viewed his brief but glorious career,
saying that Jim Wooten was real,
true hero, one who had died for "us
and for all humanity" He said that
1t was fitting that this memorial SER
vice should be held not only in honor
of the hero but also in honor Of his
noble parents who have been so earn
est in their efforts to carry on" the
war work at home.
1t was fitting, he said, that this
memorial service should be held be-
cause Lieut.. James Wooten was the
first from this community to die in
action and the first member .>f the
First Methodist church to make the
sublime sacrifice.
DR.. Molloy spoke of the willingness
of the young men of America to die
for the ideals of America, a willing
ness that was typified by the life and
death Of Lieut.. James Wooten. lie
said that it would not be long before
no young men would be seen at pub
tic gatherings, because all of them
would be in the service of their coun.
try for this same ideal, for the pre-.
servation of the liberties of mankind.
He placed especial significance upon
the death of Lieut., Wooten in being
one important circumstance lealing
to the great victories that have recent
ly been won by the allied forces. The
German armies were moving relenl-
lessly upon Paris and military experts
say that the possibility of German
success were great when a hlundarl
occurred. That blunder was in per.
hitting their plans to become known.
WAS it not the brave work Of Lie 1t. |
Wooten and other observers that le-
vealed those secrets and made it ppo.
sible for the allies to strike at tie
most favorable moment?" asked DR..
Molloy.
Mr. Dining, as Jim Wootens Sun
day school teacher, spoke of his mar
liness and his ambitious character.
He thought of this young man battling
in the air as being of the same her'ic
type as Horatius standing as the de-
fender of Rome, of whom it was writ
ten:
How nobler could young man die
than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers and the
temples of his gods?"
1t was for the heritage of America
and for the God of America fiat
lanes Wooten died, and his memory
will be kept bright in the minds and
hearts of the people of Columbia for
,ver. When the soldiers come mar
hing home with victory in the air the
men who fell in France will not be for.
