man can well afford to pay 81 or IS
a busnel for sucn corn as lie uses, re-
turning the corn unnt Tor seed.
This method is clumsy and difficult
where corn must be shipped from one
community to another. but it will be
utilized by the SEED corn administra-
ton when a single community can use
carload OF corn-.0U bushels. In
such cases the corn will be rough
sorted, bagged iii burlap bags, and
shipped to the community needing
seed. But it would require a thou
sand carloads to furnish the necessary
seed in case third of the bulk corn
could be used. The time is too short,
expert help is too scarce, transporta-
ton is too uncertain and the stakes too
big TO confine the administrations eff
forts to this method.
When the season is favorable and
corn ripenS perfectly, crib corn is
often so good that it is not difficult to
get large amount of seed by sorting
and selecting the best ears. Last fall
was SO unfavorable and the season, in
general, so cool, that very little good
seed corn can be found by this method,
In a few favored communities good
corn can be found by careful sorting,
but the amount possible to be pro-
| cured in this way will not begin to
supply the need. Where this sort OF
| corn is shipped in the ear only gen.
eral termination test can be given
All must be ear-tested by the pur-
chaser.
Our Only Hope for Enough Good
| Seed Corn: When great task is to
! be done it can be accomplished best
by great numbers working together
dous number of people will be needed
Five thousand men tan average of fifty
in a county, ear-testing corn at the
rate of a bushel per day, will have to
work so days to get 100000 bushels Of
| seed to meet the shortage that exists
in Illinois.
/ One experienced man, boy, woman
or girl can earliest, butt, tip and she'll
and bag ready for the planter, from
one to three bushels OF seed corn pei
day, if equipped with 100 rag doll seel
testers.
Our only hope of accomplishing thi!
great task is in our faith that Illinoi!
farmers will do their utmost to NEE
a national emergency. We want it tt
be said for our fellow farmers tina
when the great corn belt failed t.
ripen its corn crop, those in favored
sections helped to man to meet thu

All Corn Must Be Tested: We mus
pay a price sufficiently large for ca
tested seed corn, which has been tip

for by an official representative OF the
State Council OF Defense.
What Farmers Can Make: The profit
in getting out seed from the crib. as
Stunning the market price Of corn to be
$3.50 per bushel, will be as follows:
Grade of One Two Three
corn bushel bushels bushels
produced per day per day per day
$3.50 $500 5 500 ) 800
$50 500 1000 1900
$50 100 400 2l.OO
In other words, anyone will get
s150 per bushel for his corn and -
per day for his time il he gets out
only one bushel Of acceptable seed per
day: but il he gets out three bushels
of best seed he will have S2l for his
days work and his corn will be paid
for at $l.50 per bushel besides.
This suggestion is made: Where a
neighbor has a crib OF good corn. test
it out on shares; give him all rejected
corn and one-half the good seed. In
this way the lower grade of corn above
listed will give the man making the
test s2.25 for his labor and his neigh
Dor $2.25 per bushel for his corn. The
best grade of seed will pay each $4.25
per bushel.

This table does not include the cost
of labor, at the rate of 81. to 81 per
bushel, for ear testing.
Big prices cannot be paid for crib
corn by the man who will furnish hon
est seed. We must trust to the fair
ness of Illinois farmers to help meet
the seed corn shortage by selling their
corn at reasonable prices. They have
a duty to perform just as surely as
does the young man whose country
calls him to the colors.

it is cheap at any price. The scale of

with rag doll testers to make good
wages and at the same time help them

the kernels from four bushels of corn
per day and place them in a tester.
This will require 16 rag dolls, each of
which will test rs ears, or So dolls for

Rheumatism Is caused by poisonous

the blood It is the function OF the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores Of the skin are also means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed. thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work, they

Signing Petitions

The average citizens takes little interest in a
petition because usually the contents of the in
strunent do not affect him. Nine times out OF
ten he signs his name without reading the text
and in many instances he affixes his signature
to get rid of the person who presented it.
Petitions are looked upon as nusances. Often
INSCRIPTIONS persons circulate them, and the
signers often learn to their sorrow that they have
been tricked into the support of cause that de-
serves condemnation.
Because petitions are in such bad repute the
persons to whom they are addressed pay little at
tention to them Office holders long ago lost faith
in the judgment Of the thousands of signers who
petitioned for the appointment of to a
post. They know that two-thirds of the signers
do not know the man and care less whether he
gets the job.
Alfred Underhill is circulating a petition in
Richmond. He has been in seventy-one !itiga-
lions Of one kind or another in the courts in
Wayne county. We will say nothing about the
man. The community knows him.
Convicted in the city police court and by
jury in the Wayne circuit court, this man has the
audacity to circulate petition asking Governor
Goodrich to remit fine assessed against him by
Judge Fox after jury trial for violation of the
statutes.
Scores of men, including some leaders and
county officials, have affixed their names to the
Underhil petition asking for the remission of his
fine.
The question arises Why did they sign it?
The answer is, To get rid of the petitioner,
because they believed it the easiest way to get
him off the premises.
The merits of the were not considered.
Surely no one will say that both the city court
and the county court erred when they found this
man guilty of violating the law.
We mention the Underhill case as typical of
the petition nuisance.
