The whole shows graphically how
one agent of the United States de-
partment OF agriculture and the Mis-

making sure that the 1918 corn crop
would not fail the cause of world free
dom for lack Of viable seed. It is
representative. Of what many county
agents, the country over are doing
now. wherever occasion arises, to make
sure that the 1919 crop will not fail
Tor a like reason.
What One County Saved.
These pictures show the central test
Ing station established In February,
1918, by the county agent of Living
stoR county, Missouri. In this, and in
eight local testing stations scattered
about the county. 10.951 bushels Of
corn were "ear tested" before corn
planting time came last spring. OF this
corn more than 1000 bushels were
thrown out as being unfit for planting
which means that 1000 bushels of
corn were saved for feed. Otherwise,
1t would have rotted in the ground,
making an equivalent replanting neces-
sary. More than 6,000 bushels were
certified as being sure to give salts
factory percentage of termination.
In this instance egg crates, with
their little straw-board cells, were used
for testing-n somewhat novel method
that has found favor In some localities.
The kernels to be tested are planted in
the pastebonrd cells, six grains from
an ear, and cell to each eur. After
sufficient time for termination, the
crates are opened and the ears are
saved for seed or discarded. according
TO the percentage of termination
shown by the corresponding kernels.
Each ear. has number corresponding
to that ofsthe cell In which the sample
kernels taken from 1t are put for ger
mination, so 1t is easy to make the
final sorting.
Results Shown In Field.
Over thousand farmers brought
their seed corn to one or another Of
thet nine testing stations established
in Livingston county last year, and
practically every field planted with
corn thus tested showed strong
stand.
The corn saved to the country and
the world last summer through such
testing stations as these win total mill

Oh. do not pray for easy lives. Pray

Jane laughed at the irresistible desire. on this warm morning, to stand under the shiny shower bath, and she longed to spend the whole day in the beautiful room, "preening her feathers, reading book and taking life easy in general, like the hundreds of other women would do in this same building
 No, it is not my fate,'' she told her self. Tt will be years before I can do anything like this. and keep it up, on my own earnings. Meanwhile I must go to work with the other slaves of the great machine"
 She opened one of her grips and drew forth the silver-framed portrait of her mother, which she placed on the embroid- cred dresser cover. The gentle features seemed to reproach hr for her whimsical extravaganza. How many hours those dear, dear eyes had strained themselves over some garment in order to save far less than the price of one day in this ex- pensive room! It. seemed like sacrilege now, and the tears weled to her eyes.
 Mother little mother O mine," she told the picture. as she kissed 1t, your little lonesome Jane will only have her little innocent fling this one day. I've never been In a fine hotel like this in my life. Other girls have all the pleas ures without any of the hardships and worries have won.

 And strangely enough gentle calm came to the girl. It seemer. indeed, as though somehow or other message bad come from the priceless little photograph. She sighed and placed it on the dresser once more. Then she turned and left the room.

 her a little dizzy as she looked down upon ] the ocean of house tops spreading out before.
