SCREENING SEED MAY PRE-
VENT NEW DISEASE.

Screening out the shriveled
grains from wheat seed before
planting will remove one cause
of spreading the new bacterial
disease Of wheat which has been
discovered in many states Of the
middle West. This has been
learned by specialists of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture who, in cooperation
with the experiment stations Of
Kansas and Wisconsin, are
studying the problem of control
ling this disease. Wheat ker-
nels that are plump do not con-
tain bacterial cavities, but shriV-
eled ones often do.

CLEAN SEED BEFORE SOWING.

Cleaning and grading the small
grains for spring sowing should be
done before the spring rush in pre-
pairing the land and sowing the seed.
Wheat, oats, barley, and fax can be
improved for seeding by running the
seed through the tanning mill at least
once. The cleaned grain will run
through the drill or other seeding ma
chinery more evenly and thus insure
more uniform stand than can be OBJ
tanned from uncleaned grain.
Cleaning grain removes most of the
weak and diseased kernels, many of
which may not grow at all, or If they
do grow. are likely to produce small,
weak plants. Uniformly large, plump
kernels terminate more evenly, pro-
duce stronger plants, and yield more
than ungraded grain containing small,
shrunken kernels.
Thorough cleaning also removes
large part of the weed seeds the grain
contains. The preparation of the land
for seeding destroys many seeds that
are in the ground and thus helps to
keep weeds in check, but the value
of this work is largely lost if foul seed
is SoWn.
~S~~-~~~-~~~~~~~~~s~>>
To leave farm implements to the
tender mercies of the elements Is
nothing short of criminal negligence.
y
Fresh green produce is very desir-
able early in the summer and plen-
tiful supply Of it helps to keep down
the high cost of living.
Corn that was selected wisely Ia the
field where it grew, that matured nor
mally and has been preserved properly
in mouse and insect proof storages
will grow and produce satisfactorily.

At an early age, Eugene Pullen was
ian express driver. He handled rail-
road baggage. One day after deliv-
ering a heavy trunk on an upper floor
he felt a pain In the right groin. The
suffering increased and It was not
long before the young man noticed
the swelling
The doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear a truss throughout life
or submit to a drastic operation. All
surgeons know that hernia opera

dangerous; they may end fatally.
Moreover, Il is a we'll established

clan who, to his sorrow, gave him
even less hope. II was. pointed out
