MUCH CORN IS UNFIT
FOR SEEDING PURPOSES
Sta6e College OF Agriculture Urges
Testing of All Used-Germ in
Many Grains Killed - Damage
Caused by Frost Will Result in
Much Reduced Yield Unless Care
Is Shown.

College Park, Md, Feb. 23.-Even
though Maryland is more fortunate
this year than the majority of the
corn-growing States in the matter of
having good seed corn, the situation
nevertheless borders on what may be
considered as serious
While the bulk of Maryland corn
is above the average, the State did
not escape much of the early fall
damage through frost nor through
the cold of the winter. Where corn
went into the freezing weather in a
relatively moist condition the ice
forming in the kernels has, in the
majority of cases, killed the germ.
With corn in its present condition,
the only safe check on the seed and
the only possible way, with any ac-
curacy, to find the dead ears is to
use the termination box; in other
words, to test the seed
This has led the extension service
Of the State College to set aside the
week of March IL to 16 as seed-corn
county agents, extension specialists
carry the work into schools, clubs,
duu " Oil ldl IllSIS llleStluSS
in the State.
Instruction sheets and directions
for making the tester or termination
box and also for making the test are
being sent to all boys clubs and
schools. In many places the work
of testing has been carried on in the
schools and tests for all corn to be
planted in the districts have been
made.
The extension service hopes in this
way to have all corn for the coming
spring planting tested. 1t is pointing
out that when 10 ears will plant an
acre and a dead ear in the lot w hich
rs probability, is not found, the
stand will be reduced 10 per cent.
Through this bad ear alone, not con-
sjdering that there are enough ma
tEral causes to reduce the stand, even
though all the seed planted grows.
st is also being shown that seed
viii become scarcer as planting time
approaches, and precautions now to-
Eyard insuring good seaI will allow
seed from other sections to be ship
ped to those localities where the
Shortage is more acute.

Are You Growing?

We are creatures of habit. We are
made or broken by these daily habits.
Invalidis mis- largely the result of
habit. Weakness is the outgrowth
of habits. Habit makes a strong
man.
Therefore it is well to carefully
investigate your habits. Are they
good, bad or Indifferent? Are they
making you stronger or weaker each
day?
Most of us imagine that we are
full-grOwn as soon as we reach
adult age.
There was never a greater error.
The mind should continue to grow
as long as life lasts, and a clean,
strong body is unquesti onably of
great service in promoting such
growth
Do you want to make the most of
your life?
Recognize the Importance of main
tanning your physical forces at high
water mark. Develop the tolerant
spirit. Realize the brother hood of
mankind. Fill your life with activity
to such neXtent that you have no
time or energy to spare for personal
enmities.-Bernarr MacFadtlen, in
