Ways and means of improving anc

ever needed throughout its entire
length, and then cover it with a tai
binder to protect it.
A committee was appointed to confer

Students at Shepherd College under
the direction of Miss Violet cambridge
have tested about rs bushels of seed
corn for the farmers of this county
and Berkeley. From 100 to 200 ears
are tested for each grower. Some
ears test as high as 95 percent; others
as low as six per cent. The average
is said to be about rs per cent. There
is enough damaged corn in the county
to make it very important for the
farmer to use extreme care in select
ing his seed.
