minder OF the imperishable spell
that the ancient legend Of At

membranes OF racial childhood,
this story OF a lost island, or lost
continent, once the home Of a won
derful civilization, now sunk in the
indigo deeps OF the Atlantic ocean,

nance.

grandeur OF tragic eventuality II Is

PATRIOTIC SCHOOL

County Agent Spence spoke To-
Eighth Grade and High School stu
dents of Mt. Vernon last Monday
morning, presenting a plan by which
they could serve their country By
testing seed corn. These students.
under the leadership of their
worthy principal, Professor Lyon,
gladly offered their service free to
test seed corn at the school house
for all farmers who would bring
their corn to the school.
The farmer should follow the fol-
lowing rules:
Select from 50 TO i00sears from
the pile Of seed corn which has been
boxed or pitched back for seed.
From each ear take grains--put
grains in envelope or sack with
name and address and deliver 90

The srs crop Of Kentucky for
1915 is seriously threatened by a
lack S good Seed Corn. Perhaps
never before has Seed Corn been 50
putr a. IL is this year.
Only tss earliest gathered corn is
ilt for seed. Most of the corn that
was 10 the field during zero weather
Of December, or corn gathered just
before that date, is worthless for
seed. The Experiment Station at
Lexingtoa has tested such corn
from different counties of the State,
and the result is the same in all
cases - not more than 10 to 20fo
of IL will grow. There has also been
some tests made at County Agent
Spence's Office, which resulted in a
20 10 30%. test.
The citizen., 1918-02-28
TEST YOUR SEED CORN AT ONCE

All farmers should Immediately
take quantity Of the earliest
gathered corn from their cribs and
begin 10 test it for termination. Not
an ear should be planted in Ken
lucky this year without testing.
Failure 10 make a termination test
of seed corn is likely to mean a loss
Of hundreds of dollars to the farm
ers neglecting it.
Don't depend upon buying seed.
Little good seed corn can be bought,
for the conditions are similar all
over the country and are worse in
the northern states.
Don't buy seed corn at all unless
the termination is guaranteed.
