SUGGESTIONS ON
SELECTING SEED CORN
Field Selection Of Seed Means Greater
Yield and Better Corn.

Field. selection of seed corn is of toe
much importance to be left to the av-
erage laborer; it is almost always a
good plan for the farm owner to SUI
pervise the work. A great deal more
corn will be pulled than is needed, and
1t should be reselected in order to get
the ears that conform to type.
There is no argument that can be
used against this kind of seed selec.
tion,' says A. F. Kidder. professor OF
agronomy, Louisiana State University
because it means more corn and bet.
ter corn When field-selection of seed
becomes more generally practiced in
Louisiana some of the money that ouI
farmers are now sending to the corr
belt will remain at home.
1.-THE ear should be from four tt
five feet high on land where peas are
to be sown in the corn.
Long shanks and good ears are sci
dom found on the same stalk. The
shank should be sufficiently long, how
ever, to allow the ear to bend owe
when mature.
'All ears of corn not covered b.
| shuck are apt to be damaged by blacl
weevil and the corn ear worm.

POTATO RAISERS URGED
TO STORE PRODUCT
EXTENSION SERVICE OFFERS
PLANS OF POTATO HOUSES AND
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE.
WOULD CONSERVE FOOD
Unless Sweet Potatoes Are Housed
1t Is Difficult To Keep
Them Properly.

The Extension Division CT the
Louisiana State University, co-operat-
ing with the Bureau of Markets, is
encouraging sweet potato growers
throughout the state to store their
produce. This work is under the su-
pervision OF G. l.. Tiebout, of the Elk
tension Division, assisted by K. W..
Gardcrc and Richard Nesom from the
Bureau of Markets.
The object of this work is primar-
lily to aid the farmer in saving his
sweet potato crop and also is a food
conservation measure.
1t present there are 100000 BUSH
els of sweet potatoes produced n
Louisiana with storage houses sut1i-
cient to adequately preserve approx
inately only 100000 bushels. Unless
sweet potatoes are stored properly
it is a difficult task to keep them in
good condition.
Plans, specifications and personal
help can be secured by those who
expect to store sweet potatoes by
writing to the Extension Division
Louisiana State University, Baton
Rouge.

LET SWEET POTATOES
MATURE BEFORE DIGGING
Crop Should Be Carefully Handled,
Well Dried and Kept at Uni
form Temperature.

To keep sweet potatoes in good con-
dition they must be a. well matured
before digging, ~ carefully handled,
60 well dl4ed or cured after being put
in the house, and a. kept at uni
form temperature after they are cured.
The grower can judge when his
sweet potatoes are ripe by breaking
or cutting one of them and leaving it
exposed to the air for a few minutes.
The cut or broken surface remains
moist if it is not ready to be dug.
The second essential, careful hand
ling, should be observed in digging,
gathering, hauling, and unloading.
Sweet potatoes should be sorted in the
field and gathered in padded baskets
or boxes to prevent bruising or break
ing the skin The baskets or boxes
should be loaded on the wagon, hauled
to the storage house, and the potatoes
carefully placed in the bins. When
they are to be hauled very far, wagon
with bolster springs should be used
Sweet potatoes should never Dc
thrown from one row to another, load
| ed loosely into wagon body, or hauled
| in bags, because either Of these prac
tees will bruise them and afford ar
! opportunity for disease to enter.
| The third and fourth essentials, thor
ough drying and uniform tempera
ture, may be secured in storage
house where artificial heat can be sup
Piled. The house must be constructed
in such way that it can be thorough
ly ventilated when necessary and We
be made nearly alright in coli
weather.
Write to the Extension Division
Louisiana State University, for in
formation and assistance in properl
caring for your sweet potato crop.

FIELD SELECTION OF
SEED IMPROVES CORN
Much More Profitable Than Selecting
From the Crib in Spring.

Seed corn should be selected from
stalks standing where they grew, be-
cause only then, with certainty, can
seed be obtained from
Stalks that have a tendency to yield
well, as shown by the superiority over
surrounding stalks that grew under the
same conditions. Such seed inherits
high producing power.
Stalks without suckers. Such SEED
produces fewer suckers than seeds
from sucker-bearing stalks.
Storm-proof stalks with ears at a
desirable height.
Seed corn should be selected as soon
as it natures, because
Desirable stalks. especially early ma
turing stalks with hanging ears, are
then most easily found.
Warm, wet weather may cause KEEL
nels to sprout before drying.
If the selection is delayed the ears
may become infested with Weevlls
grain moths, and their eggs.
1t is as easy, more satisfactory, ane
much more profitable than selecting
from cribs in the spring.. s. U

POTATOES SPOIL WHEN
STORED in PITS
New Bulletin Tells How Sweet Pota-
toes Should Be Handled.

Very few sweet potatoes stored in
pits or banks ever reach the market,
for from rs to SO per cent spoil, while
those that remain are not Of good
quality, according to Farmers Bulletin
700. This bulletin, the title of which
is Sweet Potato Storage" describes
in considerable detail etypes of stor-
age houses that have proved success
full and the proper method of hauling
sweet potatoes from harvesting to
marketing. For those growers who are
not able to build storage houses, direc-
tions are given for saving the sweet
potato crop by using outdoor cellars
and banks.

PITT CAKE-MAKING
ON A WAR BASIS

Icing is not needed. Why not leave
It off? Putting cake on war OASIS
is another way to save sugar without
hardship. Thick frosting involves the
use of sugar needlessly at this time.
Furthermore, many recipes call for ex-
cessive amounts of sugar. Try smaller
quantities in your cake recipes, ETC.,
and give preference to cakes winch
are sweetened with molasses or syrup
Housekeepers who have a stock OF
canned fruits, jellies and preserves IN
their cupboards can lessen the sugar
consumption by using more OF such
things for desserts.-Le s. U. Press

torical production, "The Hidden Children" the Metro-Yorke feature screen play adapted from the Ia nous novel of the same name by Robert w. Chambers, which will be seen at the Coliseum theatre on Sunday.
 "The Hidden Children" is a pow erful story of Revolutionary days, laying special stress on the strug- gles of the early colonist with the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confed- eracy. It is play that will arouse patriotism, describing as it does In intimate detail the heavy odds against which the founders of the nation battled.
 The story of "The Hidden Chll- dren'' takes it's hero, the Indian scout, Euan Loskiel (Harold Lock- wood) and it's heroine, little Lois de Contrecoeur (May Allison) with Morgan's rihemen through danger ous ways into the very heart of the territory of hostile Indians at Cath erines-town.

"Moral Fabric" Breaches Strong Moral Lesson.

"The Moral Fabric" which was shown at the Coliseum last night and which will be repeated tonight breaches strong moral lesson and shows the necessity of the conven- tions of society and the penalty for ignoring them.
 A free thinker, Stuart, meets Mrs. Winthrop, who is vain, selfish and bored with her husband and the conventions of society. A smooth talker. Stuart soon instills his ideas into the head of the shallow brained woman.
 Winthrop discovers them in each others arms and when Stuart pleads they be allowed to follow the die. tates of their hearts, agrees, but first he telephones the entire story to the newspapers and it is publish ed to the world. Two years later the principals again meet at Monte Carlo and Winthrop, seeing that the two are tired of each other, sets out to win back his former wife He succeeds and the two leave, as the woman thinks for America Winthrop leaves note for Stuart te Ing him shat they may be found at .ne hctal and then waits on tho ba icpny for his arrival.

 In the California-Nevada State championship tournament Mrs. Groat broke 466 out of 500 targets, an average of better than 93. and in the State championship event she broke 95 targets. In the recent Vernon (CaL) tournament Mrs. Groat broke 193 out of 200 targets thrown. This is just about as good a score as ever was made by a woman in a registered shoot.
