The rag doll seed tester, a simple
and reliable method of determining
termination, will tell you whether your
seed corn is fit to plant. This method
of testing corn is described in detail
in Farmers Bulletin 94S OF the de-
partment of agriculture. Briefly it
consists of a strip of cloth, preferably
bleached muslin, 16 inches wide and
from to B feet long. The cloth
should be marked of into squared sec
lions and the squares all numbered.
The ears to be tested should also be
given corresponding numbers. Six or
more kernels should be selected from
different parts of each ear. and placed
in the proper section When the test
er is filled, fold over each side so that
the edges meet in the center. roll UP
and soak the tester for a few hours
in lukewarm water. Drain the excess
water off, and place the dolls in a
warm place to terminate They should
be covered with a wet cloth to keep
them moist, and in about five days
should be sufficiently well terminated

TOWN WOMEN MAY
AID farm WIVES
May Also Release Men Employed
in Lighter Industries for Az
riCuIturaI Work.
ALSO AID IN TRUCK FARMING
Not the Policy of Agricultural Depart
ment to Call Upon GentIer Sex
Until Nations Food Produc-
ton Is Threatened.

Only when the man and boy supply
is exhausted and the failure of the
nations food production campaigns are
threatened, should the United States
call upon women to do mems work on
the farm.
That, briefly, may be said to be the
policy of the United States depart
ment of agriculture in the matter Of
women as farm laborers. Badly as la
Dor will be needed to carry through
programs of food production this year,
the department does not believe the
situation yet demands the employment
of women for the heavier farming op-
erationS. Rather, It believes that e.
forts now should be directed toward
persuading able-bodied men in the cit
les tc do farm work and that commu-
nifty action should be directed to this
end.
Work for Women.
But there will be work to do for
the thousands of women who are Of
fering to help the farmers with their
big task. Helping farm women with
their added duties and taking the place
of men in the lighter industries. thus
releasing male labor for the farms, are
important ways in which women may
aid agriculture's program, department
officials point out. Furthermore, wom-
en- can be expected to help, as they
have in the past, with the lighter work
of truck farming, in picking and pack
ing berries and fruit and with much
other light labor of food production.
But If a serious labor shortage threat
ems the harvest of the country's food
crops the department of agriculture,
in cooperation with the department
of labor and other federal and state
agencies, will request women to help
meet the situation. It has instructed
its field agents to aid farmers in OBJ
tanning women workers when such con-
ditionS arise.
Among the sources from which adj
ditional labor may be obtained on the
farms are: a. from among the WON
en- already on farms; 90 from rela-
tives of farmers who are living in cit
les and who are willing to work on
farms during slack business or indus
trial periods; 90 from the foreign
women who are accustomed to work
in the fields under a system of inten-
sive agriculture before migrating to
this country; and "a from women in
nearby villages and towns who might
be employed on farms and still live al
home.
II in any community It becomes nee
essary to employ women, the princi
pie problems to be met are to stimu-
late women to take up farm work and
to make farmers realize the necessity
Of using woman labor in order to main.
tain production.
Wages for Women.
The farmer desiring woman labor
ers should indicate the kind of work
which he wants done, the amount, and
the probable dates and wages offered
and the woman offering herself should
indicate the kinds of work she Is wfII
ing TO do, and whether she is willing
to work all day and every day in th'
week. It should be thoroughly under
stood by all parties concerned that thu
women are to receive a wage equal Il
