Testing Week For Seed Corn.

Governor Harrington by proclamation
has designated the days between March
II and is. inclusive, as seed-corn testing
week. a period of great value and mean
ing to farmers. In his proclamation the
Governor says:
Whereas, Increasing the acreage and
yield of our grain crops is earnestly re-
quested by the government of the United
States. to meet the needs of our own peo-
pie, as well as our Allies; and
Whereas, The need Of increasing pro-
duction is most vital during the 1918 crop
ping season; and
Whereas, The most productive means of
increasing the yield of any crop rests in
the proper selection of seed and the test
ing of its terminating qualities; and
Whereas, On account of the previous
severe winter weather and the production
Of certain amount of soft corn last sea-
son, it becomes the patriotic duty of every
farmer to carefully select and test his seed
corn.
Now. therefore. |. Emerson C. Harrine-
ton, Governor of Maryland. do hereby pro-
claim the week Of March II to IS, 1918, as
Seed-Corn Testing Week. and earnestly
urge that all corn to be used for seed be
tested during this week.
The College Journal, which is issued
monthly by the Maryland State College of
Agriculture, says in support of contest
ing week:
"Seedcorn Testing Week. set aside for
the extension service workers to aid in the
selection and testing of our supply of seed
corn, should be week in which business
judgment, as well as patriotic efforts of
corngrowers, should cause every ear for
planting to be tested.
1T takes more than luck to make stand
Of corn. 1t takes more than a good stand
to make bumper crop, it's true but the
bumper crops never follow the poor stand,
and the poor stand too often is the result
of poor and unfit seed. This unfit seed
can be eliminated by testing
Perhaps not again for a decade will
seed-corn testing be as important as it is
this year. Duty and loyalty demand good
crops-an adverse season has left us with
the poorest seed stock in years with which
to make those crops. More corn-more
food for what is now an impoverished
world, and what may be a starving world
year hence.
True, the work Of testing will take
small amount of time. But replanting will
take great deal more time.
"A day in the middle of March is ordi-
narily worth much less than a day in
June; but the March days can be made
as valuable in respect to corn as those in
June. II weather and soil conditions per-
nit of blowing during testing week, the
utmost should be done to test beforehand.
Test and save considerable more than
will be needed for the first planting. A
wet spring, cutworms and other causes
may make replanting necessary; II not, ii
is likely neighbor will need good seed.
Good tested seed will not so begging at
anything like fair price.

Wilson Calls Pupils.

President Wilson, in a letter to Secretary
Lane, expresses the hope that every
school will have a regiment in the volun-
teer war garden army"-the army of school
children that it is estimated may raise
this year produce valued at 100000. 900.
The Presidents letter said:
Il sincerely hope that you may be sue
cessful through the Bureau of Education
in arousing the interest of teachers and
children in the schools of the United States
in the cultivation of home gardens. Every
boy and girl who really sees what the
home garden may mean will | am sure,
enter into the purpose with high spirits,
because am sure they would all like to
feel that they are in fact fighting in France
by joining the home garden army. They
know that America has undertaken to
send meat and flour and wheat and other
foods for the support Of the soldiers who
are doing the fighting. for the men and
women who are making the munitions
and for the boys and girls of Western
Europe and that we must also feed our
selves while we are carrying on this war.
THE movement to establish gardens,
therefore. and to have the children work
in them is just as real and patriotic an
effort as the building of ships or the firing
of cannon. | hope that this spring every
school will have a regiment in the volun-
teer war garden army"
1t is Secretary Lanes idea that is being
worked out through Commissioner Claxton,
Of the Bureauof Education. to have $780,
600 boys and girls Of the schools in every
city. town and village in the country, cap.
tanned by 10000 teachers. produce as
nearly as possible all Of the vegetables
small fruits and eggs for their home con.
sumption.

The report continues
THE cost to the government of Mary
land to complete the first quota was $751;
0OO,74, or per capita cost of Sll.53 for
each man sent to camp, exclusive of the
cost Of transportation. subsistence en- route
and the cost Of initial outfit of clothing
and equipment issued in camp. These
figures are as Of the date of preparation of
this report. but there are futher payments
to be made, the vouchers for which have
not been received.
THE State has turned over to the Gov
eminent all the equipment which it had
on hand for the National Guard. This
necessitated the purchase of practically
everything needed for the regiment of the
Maryland State Guard now being organ
lied. The extraordinary session of the
legislature Of 1917 authorized the forma-
ton of the Maryland State Guard, limiting
the State Guard to not exceeding 1000
officers and men. This force is for purely
State service, for duty within the State of
Maryland. The exective committee of the
Maryland Council of Defense under which
the expenditure Of funds appropriated by
the legislature,for emergency purposes are
made. has authorized the organization of
one regiment Of infantry. not to exceed
800 men, and the organization of this
regiment is now in process, and is progress
ing very satisfactorily. There has been
considerable difficulty in procuring equip
ment. but contracts have been let for most
of the equipment required, and some has
been delivered, or is being delivered at
this time. Up to the present time we
have been able to procure only $50 rifles
and is rounds Of ammunition per rife
from the government. but expect to re-
ceive additional supply later. This reei-
ment is to be organized in Baltimore city
and in the counties of the State.
