BOY
GETS JOCKO

Sergeant Frank Edwards, a Lou
isiana boy with the American Forces
in France, sends back a most anus
ing piece of news, pledging himself
that it is strictly true. Among his
trophies is rather unusual one-a
monkeys skin, which he is going to
send home. He says the monkey had
been taught by the German to slip
up close to the American trenches
and hurl grenades. Sergeant Ed
wards writes to his sister, Mrs. H.
M. Edwards, of Baton Rouge, that
the little beast would crawl up to the
trenches, throw a grenade and lie
fiat. After several men in his pla-
tOOn had been wounded, Edwards
undertook to get" the grenader.
He did.

SELECTING SEED
AND EXHIBIT
CORN
The Ideal Ear.

In last weeks issue the ideal stalk
was described and the advantages Of
field selected seed over crib selected
seed. Now, with several barrels Of
field selected ears, we may sit down
ON 2 rainy day-before the fair-and
pick out the best of these ears taken
from the best stalks, and select our
best seed corn.
Each variety of corn has stand
ard length and circumference of ear
and color of cob and grain, but only
gereralities will be given here. Vel
low corn should have deep red
cob, white corn a white cob. The
ears should be from 8 to inches
long, and in an exhibit ali should
be the same length and circumfer-
ence, and the circumference at a
third of the distance from the butt
of the ear should be three-four.hs
the length of the ear. The ears
should taper only slightly from butt
to tip, and should not have a swell"
butt nor a sharp-pointed tip. The
cobs should be small and the kernals
long and wedge-shaped. 4 small
cob will dry sooner and result in
less musty or moldy corn than large
cobs. The ears with long wedge
shaped kernals contain higher per-
cent of corn to the ear than ears
with square or round kernels. 90
to 80 is good. The tip of the ear
should be covered or nearly so with
kernals. The butt should nave only
small shank, score, around which
the kernels should close in we'll and
project beyond. The ear should be
so that it would stand on its butt
end. Every row should extend from
butt to tip, and none drop out part
way. 1t is preferable that the rows
be straight, but not highly important.
No ear should be chosen for seed
nor exhibit having any rotten or
weevil-eaten grains, even at tip OF
ear, which might be shelled off be-
fore planting, because this indicates
poor or short shuck covering, and
that kind of corn should not be re-
produced.
Finally, the ears as a whole, the
cobs and kernels, should present a
uniformity of shape, sizs, length and
"
be no blue grains present, nor round
ones. except at tip of ear.
Select the best ten ears for exhibit,
and the next best so for the seed
patch for another year, and enough
of the best of the rest for planting of
the general crop. Put this corn in
barrel that can be made air-tsght
and treat with high life" or COM
mon gasoline to kill weevils AMI
| their eggs.
Future articles will discuss the
seed patch and the weevil treatment.
Individual inquiries may be address
ed to The Farmer or the' writer,
when individual answers will be
given.
Yours for better corn and more
of it.

The worst situation met with was
the old Ostendorf Hotel, in New Gov

thirteen cases in this place, leaving
scarcely a well person to do nursing,
washing or kitchen work. One man
lay in an unconscious state near the

was worn out with constant atten-

work among the stricken families OF

Editor St. Tammany Farmer:

EullOr 81. ldmWduy TdTmeT
am writing to ask you kindly to
give recognition to the Women's Lib
erty Loan Committee, of which am
parish chairman. OF course, you
realize that none of the ladies work
ing with me did so for either glory
or notoriety, but having accomplish
ed a big thing under great difficult
ties, they do deserve credit. lE ad-
dition to that, the publication Of the
result creates spirit of friendly
rivalry that will be an assistance in
the next campaign.
The work of the mems committee
was simple compared to oars they
had a list of assessments enc can
vassed the business districts. The
women's committee have made the
house-tO-house canvass, educating
people up to the necessity of the
loan and instilling patriotism in
many lukeswarm hearts; they have
secured the kind of subscriptions
men never could get, by making
special appeal to men for their wives
and daughters, and to mothers for
their children. Nearly all Of our
subscriptions are for $50 and 500,
proving the claim that it is our COM
mittee who reach the little fellow"
In Slidell, Lacombe and Madison
Vile, where the epidemic has been
serious since the beginning of the
campaign, the women worked in
spite of it; in the second ward the
roads have been extremely bad be-
cause of the rains, but our women
canvassed on foot.
In a few districts l have been un-
able to get reports because my chair
men are i'll themselves or are out
nursing the sick. but with all the
drawbacks the women's committee
have obtained subscriptions amount
