Seed Corn Tests Poor,


How many Stacker acres of corn
will st. Francois county have this
year?
The Farm Bureau has tested six
different samples of corn, representing
the average seed corn six different
men in this county were intending to
plant. THE average of these six tests
was So per cent strong terminating
power, 20 per cent very weak, and II
per cent dead. That means if this
corn were planted on an acre, capa-
BILE Of producing 40 bushels of corn,
without testing each individual ear
planted, that we could only expect to
harvest about "a bushels from this
acre. Almost one-half of the acre
would be the Stacker portion. This
year above all, we cannot afford it
By all means, for your sake and for
our army's sake test your seed corn
or let the Farm Bureau test it before
planting.

PNEUMATIC EQUIPMENT SAID
TO BE BETTER THAN SOLID
Stated That Old Style Tires Use Up
Gasoline and shorten Life of
Most Trucks

The present extensive use Of mo-
tor trucks, away beyond any predic-
tion OF year ago. has prompted
many TO speak OF them as the rsil-
roads future competitor A close
analysis OF transportation conditions.
however. shows II to be the railroads
able ally instead of It's competitor.
One reason for this is that the
type OF service the railroad least
efficiently renders, IL the type the
motor truck best renders. And IL
our railroads can be freed. OF the
burden OF this dnAuitabfr service,
.heir capacity for pIefltable opera
tion can be immensely increased
II Is conceded that the short haul
is the least profitable source OF rail
road revenue II usually involves
partial loads, whether in passenger
or freight service, and frequent
stops, which are expensive. In such
service the railroad operates far be-
low its fun efficiency. and conse-
quently at greater expense.
Railroads Competitor.
Here Is the service in which the
motor truck can operate greatly TO
the railroads benefit. The unit load
OF the motor truck is smaller than
that OF the railroad. It's operation
Is more flexible II does not require
expensive traCkage and terminals,
The long haul. with fun car loads,
constitutes the railroads greatest
earning power BY assuming the
short haul the motor trucks releases
rolling stock for the more necessary
and profitable Ions haul.
IL Is fortunate that just at this
time when such a wonderful op-
portunity is opening up for the mo-
tor truck pneumatic tire equipment
for truck service should have been
developed. permitting the motor
truck TO advance far into the new,
broad field Of usefulness.
Inflated Tires Practicable.
Early sensing the development OF
traffic conditions that now actually
exist, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
company set about 10 evolve tire
that would perrust the motor truck TO
graduate from the slow moving field
to Which It was confined by its solid
rubber tire equipment Pneumatic
cord tires make practical certain
phases OF motor truck operation
which formerly were out Of the ques-
tion. 81
In heavy truck service they save
materially In gasoline and oil con
sumption. They greatly cut truck
depreciation and practically remove
all dagger ~ load breakage. They
permitAspeeds which with any other
type OF tire equipment would be ex-
pkAalye and indeed perilous And I
they allow the transportation OF /
heavier loads on lighter chassis.

Our recruiting officers have made an
interesting discovery in gaging the
relative fitness Of city and country
boys for service In the army and navy,
according to the Popular Science
Monthly for February. City boys have
better ears.
From the Washington records OF the
Marine corps come the assertion that
only one boy in five among those re-
cruited in quiet neighborhoods has the
acuteness of hearing possessed by the
average dweller in noisy town. The
reflections on the ground of defective
hearing were in the ratio Of five to one
in favor of "city ears"
The surgeons and scientists assume
that the quiet Of country districts
tends to weaken, through disuse, the
nerves in the ear, while the constant
clamor of the city, really keeps the
aural nerves responsive.
