SUCH HIGH QUALITY CHOICE is DIFFICULT

Do a little bit more than you have done,
Though you thought you had done
your best;
Answer every call, be II great or small,
And then when it's over well rest. q
For we've got to get where we're
going
Uncle Sam needs your help or you
So knit thrice more than you've done
before
And we'll help Uncle Sam clear
through.

Results of Seed Corn Testing
Henry County School Teachers.

In summarizing up the reports
from the corn testing that has been
done by the teachers of Henry Coun-
ty, | find the following results
eighteen teachers reporting:
1850 ears Of corn tested.
63oI grains of corn tested.
4I27 grains showing strong germi-
nation.
2I74 grains dead.
The results are this, that IS per
cent of the corn tested will not grow.
Now, can you afford to plant corn
that will not germinate more than
65 per cent? Now, on part of these
individual tests there was not a
single grain germinated from 10 ears
of corn. Can you tell the slackers
from the loyal ears of corn without
the termination tests? l should say
not. This year is an unusual year for
seed corn. The early freeze caught
the corn when there oas a great deal
of sap still in the ear. thereby killing
the germ of the kernel. Now farm
ers, this is the time to eliminate the
Stacker, and don't be a Stacker your

termination test or bring your corn

Over w. E. Campbelrs Wire

New Orleans, April 22.-Wide fluctua-
lions, both above and below the level
of last weeks close. resulted in the cot
ton market today from conflicting con-
structions placed on weather news over
Sunday. Bears were sellers because the
map showed no actual frost in the cotton
region; bulls bought on the claim from
the interior thatthe weather had been
cold enough to work harm in various
ways Around the opening, prices were
6 to "a points up, from which they fell off
to a decline of 20 to so points under Sat
urday's close. Later the market steadied
and made full recovery, but late in the
session was about dollar bale OH,

accounts of over Sunday reveals that un-
seasonably cold weather has prevailed.
and that temperatures have been low
enough to damage young cotton. even
though frost was not as general as dur
ing the cold wave of two weeks ago.
The lowest temperatures were not due
Monday morning, but Sunday, when
there was much frost in the western belt.

ton. July worked off from S.45c to 4.S2c,
and September from 8.53c to S.50c, with
the market closing net points lower to
2 points higher. There were rumors that

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 22.-After excited
trading in the early hours today, the
local cotton market quoted down to
very tame affair Cold weather in the
belt made for steadiness, but late in the
day dullress developed and the price
sagged under it. Closing quotations were
at net losses of q to 33 points.
Irregular and violent fluctuations in
the morning resulted from different con-
structions placed on the weather news
over Sunday. On the first call the mar
ket was to 81 points up. but heavy sell
ing came from traders who were inn
pressed by the fact that the weather
map showed no frost in the cotton belt
as the result of the cold wave crossing
the south. This selling caused a slump
which put the active months 20 to So
points below Saturdays close, July drop
ping 70 points in a few minutes The
weakness did not last long, as the in
terror sent in reports telling of the un-
favorable effect on planting operations
of the cold and wet weather. Frosts
also wore reported yesterday morning in
portions Of the western belt. The loss
was recovered and prices sent a few
points above Saturdays final quotations,
but in the afternoon the tendency was
to sag again.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April PAS frost did
not seriously affect the crop over
Sunday. rnany of the buyers of Sat-
urday became sellers today in tho
opening hour, causing decline Of
some 40 points, (which was recovered
when the local traders began to dis
count the publication of a weekly
weather report which would not be
favorable one. Their idea was that
the weather last week was too cold
and wet, so ii would be recorded in
the government weekly report. Trans
actit1ls are not a large scale, with
fluctuations made on the rapid exc
cution of small orders by brokers
seeking to obtain quick answers to
telegraphic orders. After the wild
fluctuations of the past fortnight the
trade is in a nervous frame OF mind,
hoping that they are over. but, certain
that the market is slowly assuming
normal tone. We feel the growing
conditions for the new crop will gov
ern the movement of prices.--Hubbar1

COTTON LIST WAS
DOWN AS A WHOLE
No FrOsts Occurred Sunday
Night as Predicted in
Certain Parts of Belt

New York, April 22-The cotton market
seemed to be influenced by prospects for
more favorable weather in the south
After selling off from %. csc to 2S. 40c July
rallied to Is 92c, but later eased Off again,
closing at Is COO. The general list closed
steady at net decline of % to 81 points.
The opening was irregular at an adj
vance of 10 points to decline of IA
points, with near months relatively firm
on the cables. The weather map. how
ever, failed to show the expected frosts
and the markets soon turned easier I'M
der selling by buyers of Saturday while
there was also a renewal of scattering
pressure on the long range forecast
for a fair week in the south with rising
temperatures. May led the decline as a
result of liquidation in advance of po-
sible notices on Thursday, selling off
from %. 45c to 2S.70c, while October de-
clined from q SIC to 27 40c, making
break of AZ to SO points from Saturdays
closing.
Prices steadied at this level and rallies
followed the publication of the daily
weather details showing heavy rains and
cold weather east of the river, but q
recovery of 40 to so points that increased
offerings and the close was within 10 or
70 points Of the lowest. Trade interests
were buyers on early decline, and there
was reiterated reports that the govern
ment is about to place large orders for
goods.
The detailed weather reports revived
talk of an unfavorable weekly review
from the weather bureau Wednesday and
it was claimed the crop had made little
progress during the last two weeks. This
view of the situation however, appeared
to be Offset by the more bright weatner
outlook. and it was evidently considered
too early in the season for recent de-
lays to count for much in the ultimate
yield.
