SHOWS PATRIOTISM

Lew Tramp is one of the fellows
who got squarely and periodically be-
hind the fuel commissioner, G. C. Car
ter, and has done much to assist in
relieving the coal shortage. He had
a car load of coal at the brick yards
and he placed this at the disposal of
Mr.. Carter and the latter has been
using it to prevent actual suffering.
When coal was to be had at the
yards, and he knew that there was
danger of actual suffering on account
of sickness or other reasons, Mr.. Car
ter has permitted such persons to
have half ton of coal from the brick
yard. This certainly was very kind
of MI. Tramp and Mr.. Carter express
ed the highest appreciation of it.

Tremendous Loss to Farmers
and Country Due to Planting
of Inferior Seed
FIRST CLASS REQUIREMENTS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
There Is each spring a scarcity Of
good seed corn. This condition is all
the more regrettabe, because it need
not exist; and it is much more serious
than commonly supposed, because
many do not realize fully the tremen-
dous loss TO themselves and the coun-
try due to the planting of inferior seed
A full stand of plants may be obtained
from inferior seed, but the yield will
not be the best possible. The loss IS
due to delay or negligence. 1t can be
prevented by the selection of seed corn
In the autumn.
To be first class, seed must be:
]. OF variety well adapted to the
seasonal and soil conditions where it
is to be planted.
2. Grown on productive plants of
productive variety, showing all the de-
sirable characteristics.
3. Well matured, and preserved from
ripening time till planting time in such
a manner as to retain its full vigor.
Three Important Requirements.
The importance of the three require
ments just enumerated has been DEM

son. Dropping all other business at
corn-ripening time and selecting, dry
ing and storing at least enough seed to
meet the requirements of two years
planting will insure seed supply for
the second succeeding year in the event
of crop failure the first year. Select
ing seed corn requires the corn grow
ers entire attention. If he will get
the very best that is to be had and pre-
serve it well, mis- increased yields will
return him more profit than any other
work he can do on his farm.
In 13 years investigations conducted
upon SciotO river bottom soil near
Piketon, O.. with Woodburn White
Dent, United States selection II, the
yield was raised from an average of 63
bushels of dry sheIed corn for the
period from 1901 to 1907 TO an average
of 20 bushels fot the period from 1907
to 1913. The principal influence pro-
ducing this increase in yield was the
selection and care of seed corn.
Ears to Select.
IS soon as the crop ripens, the first
step is TO go through the field with
seed-picking bags, and husk the ears
from the stalks that have produced the
most corn without having had any
special advantages as to space, mois-
:ure or fertility. The large ears on
stalks standing singly with an unusual
amount of. space around them should
be avoided. Preference should be
given the plants that have produced
most heavily in competition with
full stand of less productive plants. In
all localities the Inherent tendency of
the plant to produce heavily of sound,
dry, shelled corn is Of most impor-
lance.
The same day seed corn is gathered
the huSked ears should be put in a dry
place with free circulation of air and
placed in such position that the ears
do not touch each other. This is the
only safe procedure. Good seed is re-
peatedly ruined because of the belief
that it is already dry enough when
gathered and that the precauion men.
toned above is unnecessary.
In localities where weerils and grain
moths injure stored grain, the thor
Oughly dry ears should be stored in
very tight mouse-proof receptacles,
with one pound of moth balls or naph-
thalene inclosed for each bushel of
corn. This quantity tightly inclosed
with the corn will prevent damage
from these insects and will not injure
tn seed

result Of selection work of this kind,
average acre yields on some farms

Harvesting peanuts before they are
mature, as is often the case among
inexperienced growers. is responsible
for considerable loss in the yield of
marketable peanuts. A few of the
peanuts are very likely to mature and
sprout during rainy weather before
the crop is ready To be dug. The vines
assume a yellowish appearance when
the crop is mature, which is usually.
but not always, a good indication as
to the proper time for harvesting.
This, together with The turning brown
and falling off of the lover leaves,
and the plump appearance of the pods
should be the guide in determining the
