licity director of the war relief commit
tee of the National Society, Daughters
of the American Revolution, to the re
cent Continental Congress of that or
ganization showed that the committee
during the year issued to the chapters
l4l,600 ID. a. r. bulletins on wartime
subjects and 30,550 pamphlets published
by other patriotic organizations on
special features of war work. For our
army, navy and aviators the society
raised $1,412,250, for France, largely

machinery, economizing labor ana
doing the work in less laborious
manner.
Much of the corn that is now husked
from the shocks could be handled more
economically and with saving in feed
value of stover by substituting ma
chine huskers and shedderS for hand
labor The use of corn pickers would
accomplish similar results in the case
of corn husked from the standing
stalks. Unloading and elevating ma
ehinery at the crib should be intro
duced and more generally used in
many sections where it is now un-
known or not commonly used. Where
such facilities are not available cribs
should be constructed in such a
manner that they can be filled and
emptied with the least possible labor
For level ground double cribs with
an elevated driveway and approaches
that will enable the loads TO be driven
through the cribs and dumped OF
seooped out of the wagons without
any high pitching are very. satisfac
tory.

How Potato Spraying Paid.

Some potato growers, according to
a recent statement from the depart
ment of agriculture, have expressed
the opinion that II does not. pay to
spray potatoes for late blight. That
thorough spraying will control the
blight in seasons of bad infection has
been proved many times in the past,
says the statement, and most recently
in Aroostook county, Me-, in 1917.
Among other places in the county this
was shown conclusively at Aroostook
farm, where extensive experiments
We're conducted by the United States
department of agriculture in co-opera-
ton with the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station. In one block where
small test plots sprayed with standard
bordeaux mixture We're intersnerSed
with untreated plots. the average
yield on IL of the former was at the
rate of 1872 bushels per acre, while
that on an equal number of untreated
plots was at the rate of 1875 bushels
per acre, an increase of 37.7 bushels
per acre, or more than &c per cent in
favor of bordeaux mixture.

Test Your Seed Corn.

It is not too late in most sections to
test seed corn. Five or six days are
ample for the test Never before has
it been of such Importance to deter
mine the termination of seed corn be-
fore planting. Because of unusual con-
ditions last season, much of the seed
held over will not be fit to plant at
least at the regular rate of seeding.
The termination test will show how
much of the seed will grow. Let the
rag doll tester make this determine
ton for you. Your county, agent or
your agricultural college or, IL you
have time to write to Washington. the
Departmental agriculture, will describe
the use of this simple device It will
be well, specialists of the department
of agriculture say, to retain all ears
showing termination Of so per cent
or more. The poorer terminating ears
will have to be used II the supply OF
! seed terminating so per cent or better
is not sufficient. Keep the poorer seed
separate and If it must be used plant
1t thicker than the rest.

CALL FOR MORE CORN

Wheat excepted, corn is the
most valuable and Indispensable
of the worlds grain crops. 1t
holds a commanding position in
the agriculture of the United
States. Its vast acreage and
heavy yields are responsible to
no small extent for the success
Of agriculture. The department
of agriculture. in its program is
sued early in February, which
re-emphasized and amplified the
food production program for
1913 published by the depart
ment in August, 1917, recon-
I mended that an acreage of corn
approximately equal to that of
! 1917, which was the largest on
record, should be planted In
1913. with possibly slight reduc-
tons in certain sections to free
areas for spring wheat. In 1917
. the acreage devoted to corn was
approximately 119,755.o 900 acres,

THE WORD
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

Oh, word is gem stone, song Or flame, a two edged sword; Or a rose in bloom, sweet perfume,
 Or drop of gall is word. You may choose your word like eonnosseur, And polish it up with art, But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Is the word that comes from the heart You may work your word thousand weeks, But it will not glow like one That all unsought leaps forth white hot,
 When the fountains of feelings run, You may hammer away on the anvil of thought And fashion your word with care, But unless you stirred to the depths that word Shall die the empty air. For the word that comes from the brain alone. Alone to the brain will speed; But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Oh! that is the word men heed.
