"Gunner DepeW" is not a
work of fiction, but 1t is
more thrilling than any fic-
ton you ever read. tits the
true story of the expert
enceS of an American boy
who had a fighting career
that is unique in the annals
of the great war. 1t is a
story crowded with fighting
and adventure - big with
human courage and endur-
ance. 1t is the first war mar
rative that tells the true
story of conditions in the
German prison camps. 1t
is a story that every Ameri-
can should and will read to
the end.

There is each spring a scarcity OF
good seed corn. This condition Is all
the more regrettable, because 1t need
not exist; and it is much more serious
than commonly supposed, because
many do not realize fully the tremen-
dous loss to themselves and the coun-
try due to the planting of inferior seed.
A full stand Of plants may be obtained
from inferior seed, but the yield will
not be the best possible. The loss Is
due to delay or negligence. 1t can be
prevented by the selection Of seed corn
In the autumn. ..
To be first class, seed must be:
1. OF variety we'll adapted to the
seasonal and soil conditions where it
is to be planted.
2. Grown on productive plants Of q

Harvesting peanuts before they are
mature, as is often the case among
inexperienced growers, is responsible
for considerable loss in the yield Of
marketable peanuts. A few of the
peanuts are very likely to mature and
sprout during rainy weather before
the crop is ready to be dug. The vines
assume yellowish appearance when
the crop is mature, which is usually,
but not always. a good indication as
to the proper time for harvesting.
This, together with the turning brown
and falling of of the lower leaves,
and the plump appearance Of the pods
should be the guide in determining the
maturity OF the crop.
After, the crop has been dug the
vines should be stacked before the

Dent, United States selection II, the
yield was raised from an average of 63
bushels Of dry shelled corn for The
period from 1901 to 1907 to an average
of Is bushels for the period from 1907
to 1913. The principal influence pro.
dqcing this increase in yield was the
selection and care of seed corn. -
-. :. Ears to Select. ''5
AS soon as the crop ripens, the first
step is to go through the field with
seed-picking bags, and husk' the ears
from the stalks that have produced the
most corn without having had any
special advantages Us to space, mois-
ture or fertility. The large ears on
stalks standing singly with an unusual
amount of space around them should
be avoided. Preference should be
given the plants that have produced
most heavily in competition with a
full stand of less productive plants. In
all localities the inherent tendency Of
the plant to produce heavily of sound,
dry, shelled corn is of most impor-
lance. ...,~:.,. - ...s- ... g..
The same day seed corn is gathered
the husked ears should be put in dry
place with free circulation Of air and
placed in such position that the ears
do not touch each other. This is the
only safe procedure. Good seed is re.
peatedly ruined because of the belief
that it is already dry enough when
gathered and that the precaution men.
toned above is unnecessary.
In localities where weevils and grain
moths injure stored grain, the thor.
oughly dry ears should be stored in
very tight mouse-proof receptacles,
with one pound Of moth balls or naph-
thalene inclosed for each bushel of
corn. This quantity tightly inclosed
with the corn will prevent damage
from these insects and will not injure
the seed.

2. Seed ears taken from the highest

,plats have repeatedly produced better
than seed ears taken from poorer

field produced more than seed ears
taken without considering the produc-
tiveness of the parent stalks. AS the
result of selection work Of this kind,
average acre yields on some farms
have been increased 10 per cent in a
decade. ~
3. Four bushels Of ears were divided
into two equal parts, one part being

in a barn as corn is ordinarily cribbed.

over at Spokane, while her husband re-
turned to the farm and went to blowing
when he was suddenly taken with an
attack of pneumonia. A physician %
miles away was called and on his ar
rival found Mr.. Zehner in very bad
shape, advising his immediate removal
to Spokane. A neighbor was secured
and Hershel was loaded into the car
and on reaching Harrington he an
nounced that he could go no further.
He went to bed and another physician
was called who stated that the pa-
tient could not live until morning. at
which time the relatives here were no.

Zehner was gasping for breath and
heroic methods were at once applied
to afford relief, which was successful.
