should be sown in February. Ten
days or two weeks later seed of
tomato, pepper, eggplant, head
lettuce and similar crops should
be planted in the hotbed also. 1t
is advisable to divide the bed
with partition, keeping one
section cool to suit the first
group of vegetables which grow
best at temperatures of so to
so degrees while the other sec
tion can be used for the second
group, which grow best at Is
to 80 degrees. The simple ma
nure-heated hotbed with fifteen
inches of fresh fermenting horse
manure under four inches of me-
dium rich soil and covered with
standard glass sash, is quite
satisfactory for growing early
vegetable plants. The seed mag
be sown in a few rows at one
side of the bed, or perhaps a
few shallow boxes in the wind
oWs of fairly warm room in
doors may serve. As soon as the
seedlings form a second pair of
leaves, which will be from two
to three weeks after the seed
are sown, they will be ready to
transplant to the hotbed. They
should be set two by three inch
es apart. This transplanting
should not injure the roots Sc
verely. 1t gives the individual
plants room in which to develop
short, stocky, leafy stems with
large root systems, instead of
the tall spindling plants with few
roots which are produced when
the plants are crowded. Usually
it is best to set the plants di-
rectly in the soil of the hotbed,
but it is also convenient to set
them in flats or shallow boxes
which can be placed in the hot
bed and later shifted to cold
frame without disturbing the
plants.
Large plants, says ]. T. Rosa,
Jr., of the University of Missou-
II College Of Agriculture, as to-
mato and eggplant, ought to be
transplanted twice for best re-
suits. The seedlings are set in
the hotbed two by three inches
apart or transplanted to flats in
the same manner as other plants.
AS they become crowded or
root-bound in this position, four
or five weeks later, they should
be removed to coldframe,
where they may be set four by
four inches apart or better still.
potted in four-inch clay pots,
which are staged side by side in
the coldframe. Here the plants
are gradually exposed to out
door conditions and hardened off
by withholding part of the wa
ter supply, so that they become
tough and stocky before being
transplated to the garden. 1t is
well worth while to take some
trouble to grow good vegetable
plants. The earliness and yield
Of the crop well repay this. II
should be remembered that the
big succulent plants are not as
good as the medium sized
stocky, toughened plants, which
grow fast after transplanting

FOrgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Gil
lad, Ohio: The editor had an in
teresting experience some time
ago, when a young gentleman
came to this Office and asked for
a copy of the Morrow County Re-
publican. He scrutinized it care
fully when a copy was handed
him, and then said: Now |
knowr' what is it you are look
ing for" we inquired. my wife
sent me after a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and |
forgot the name. | went to sew
eral stores and the clerks nam
ed over everything in the line
on the shelf except Chamber
lain's.' I'll try again, and I'll
never go home without Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy The
Republican would suggest to the
proprietors of stores. that they
post their clerks, and never let
them substitute. Customers lose
faith in stores where substitu-
ting is permitted, to say nothing
of the injustice to makers of
good goods and the disappoint-
ment Of customers. (Adv.)

SEED CORN SHORTAGE
THREATENS NEXT CROP
Half of Missouri Supply Tests
Less Than so Per Cent.

OOluiiiDidt NlOsy SO. Aos Il iieto
the seed corn shortage in Mis-
souri, is the greatest in recent
years is shown by surveys made
by the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. The Sc
riousness of the shortage, ac-
cording to investigators, be-
comes more apparent daily as re-
ports of termination tests are
received. According to present
indications, at least half Of the
seed corn viii not test above so
per cent. The greatest danger
to the coming crop is the fact
that most of the corn looks good,
which led many farmers to be-
lieve that it is normal. However,
sssshen the real test Of quality is
applied, a surprisingly large per-
centage of this corn has failed
to germinate. Farmers who de-
pend on the outward appear
ance of the seed as a test of
quality this year will be deceiv-
ed, say the specialists here.
A report of testing done in
Marion county under the di-
rection of the county agent, H.
7. Nielsen, shows the serious
ness Of the situation and also
indicates how misleading the
outward appearance of the corn
can be. Of 2939 ears, which
were apparently of good quality,
only 1927 gave strong germina-
tion. If these 1889 ears of corn
had been planted, without test
ing, the stand would have been
less than 35 per cent or only a
little more than a third.
Figures from the Government
Seed Testing Labatory show
that only 6 per cent of the sam
nles of seed corn tested have
terminated SO or over; II per
cent have tested 80 to 95; 2O.5
ner cent. tested 80 to SO per
cent, and 7 per cent was below
so per cent. From these and
other tests reported, ]. C. Hack.
leman of the Agricultural Elk.
tension Service, estimates that
half the seed corn in Missouri
will germinate not more than 50
per cent.
The College of Agriculture has
recently issued Extension Circu-
lar 4S, How to Test Seed Corn,
which gives full directions for
testing, together with illustra-
tons of simple testers that may
be made at home. This publica-
tlon was prepared a few days a.

situation. Copies will be mailed

THE returns that may be ex
