The 1919 corn crop is a wonderful
crop from which to select seed corn.
Over most of the country 1t is well
developed, fully matured, hard and
sound-just the sort of corn that n
fellow can bank on for good stand
and big yields.
But 1t takes time to select seed corn.
You are busy. Some other job is call
ing you before you finish the one you
are at. You guess you will not take
the time to select any seed corn to
speak Of
All right-it's your business. But
think ahead a little. Imagine that 1t is
the spring of 1921. The year 1920, say,
was poor corn year. Frost came
early and nearly all of the corn was
soft. You haven't any that is fit to
plant. The busy spring season Is at
Its busiest. A score of things are call
ing to be done at once. You have to
hitch up the horse or crank the car
and start securing the country for
some man who has crib of old corn.
Probably you fail to find him and have
to wait while the county agent or
somebody "sends down South" and
gets you some hard corn to plant.
Some waste of time connected with
the process, isn't there? After you
get it, perhaps it is unadapted to your
locality and yields poor crop of inn
mature corr.
Save for Two Years.
This is one of the reasons why the
corn experts Of the, United States de-
partment Of agriculture urge farmers
to select out Of this years crop enough
seed corn to meet their needs for two
or three years. No farmer, particu-
larly in the northern portion Of the
United States, has time not to do 1t.
; Still. the mere saving of time Is not
the only reason. BY getting two or
three years supply Of seed corn out Of

MASTERS OF SOIL FERTILITY
GuIIies Between Corn Rows Act a.
Channels Which Wash Deep and
Do Much Injury.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Gullies are MASTERS of soil fertility.
In many corn-producing sections the
rows between the corn sometimes act
as channels which soon wash deep and
carry away much of the best soil Of a
field. Although it is not simple mat
ter to reduce these gullies, 1t is prac-
teal to attempt 1t. A successful
scheme practiced throughout the corn
belt by many farmers consists In
thrashlng settings Of grain--where
grain follows corn in the crop rota-
tion-at intervals along the gully so
that the by-product straw will be de-
posted in such manner as to block
ade and prevent further soil erosion.
Even though wheat and rye straw are
valuable for bedding purposes, 1t is
advisable to sacrifice some of the lat
ter as the farmer will eliminate ma
terial source of loss and an eyesore
from what probably Is otherwise an
attractive field.

fed cows the average income over cost
of feed was $40 and for the granted
cows the average income over cost of
feed was $37.
The alfalfa-fed cows may have been
better cows and the climate may have
been better adapted to dairying, but
as both districts are favorably known
for their dairy products 1t may be
assured that the cows were Of good
quality and well cared. for in both dis
tricts. 1t seems fair, therefore, to con-
clude that the higher production and
greater income above feed cost Of the
alfalfa-fed cows was due largely to
the feeding Of homegrown legumes. In
any case 1t is well worth while for the
farmers Of one district to study the
feeding practices of other districts. If
legumes add to net profits, why not
grow and feed more legumes? II the
soil Is not adapted to legumes 1t may
pay to add lime or manure or what
ever else 1t lacks In order that the
dairy herd may be supplied with an
abundance Of homegrown leg,mes.

BATTLE AGAINST

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
sour livestock industry must be so
adjusted that the people of this coun-
try may obtain wholesome meat at
fair prices and this must be done with,
out discouraging production"
That statement was made before the
National Association of Meat Packers
Ia session at Atlantic City, by DR.. Johr
II. Mohler, chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry. Ample production, he
continued, is the most important
factor leading to prices that the con-
sumer is willing to pay and pay cheer
fully. The public must have confidence
In the method Of production and dis
tribution, and consumers are entitled
to full information, he said, regarding
the growing and marketing of live
stock and the distribution of the meat
and its products.
Control and eradication Of animal
disease, DR.. Mchler asserted, are vital
ly important factors in ample produc-
ton and of liberal consumption and
proper nutrition as well. If the live
stock men of the country, he said, on
top of their other problems, had to
contend with pleuro-pneumonia. foot
and-mouth disease surra. rinderpest
and other animal scourges that the
United States department of agricul-
ture has succeeded in keeping out Of
this country or eliminating as soon as
they appeared, production certainly
would fall and consumption would be
curtailed by reason of high prices nee
essary to cover the risk Of production.
Victory in Sight.
"As to most other animal diseases"
he continued, II am now able TO say
from scientific point Of view that
victory against them is in sight and
in certain cases eradication is prac-
tically complete. There is still need
for abundant field and laboratory work,
thorough supervision and energetic in
spection, but we are confident that
1t Is merely matter of time before
every serious disease must yield to the
weapons Of science"
DIR. Mohler backed up this statement
by citing what has been accomplished
with a number of serious diseases. As
late as 1906 cattle scabies was prev
alent in about 100000 square miles
of the United States. Now the country
Is practically free from this disease.
In 1906 about 100000 square miles
were infested with the sheep scab dis
ease. Now only about 100000 square
miles remain infested and at the
recent rate Of progress the next year
should practically see the end of sheep
scab. In 1905, the cattle fever tick oc-
cupied a domain Of about 100000
square miles. This has now been re-
duced to less than 100000 square
miles, and the tick Is doomed to prac-
teal extinction within the next four
years. The hog-cholera campaign, he
said, has been of guerilla character,
but the use Of anti-hog-cholera serum.

SCOUT PROVES HIMSELF A HERO.

Denton Mclean, twelve-year-old
Spokane boy scout, is the hero Of his
troopmates.
Because of the quick action Of the
young scout, Raymond Rice, returned
war hero and uncle Of the boy, Is alive
now, instead of drowned in the waters
Of Twin lakes.
Hero Of battles on the Frnech front,
wearer of the distinguished service
cross for unusual bravery, and
wound stripe, Rice became exhausted
while swimming in the waters of the
lake.
Superior Judge r. M. Webster, an
eyewitness to the heroic rescue, told
the story:
denton heard the cry from the
beach that man was drowning.
Without removing his clothing he
sprang from his cot and dashed to the
end of the pier and plunged into the
water. Rice had already gone down
twice when the lad came up to him.
"There was no hesitancy on the part
of Denton, who seized the drowning
man by the clothing at the back Of
his neck and tegan to tow him toward
the shore. Once Rice. In his delirium,
seized young woman near him and
would have carried her under, but
Denton quickly struck him on the wrist
and ordered him to free the girl.

ever witnessed"

The annual value Of the farm wood

duce its proportional part of that vast
sum?
Approximately one-half Of the tim
bered areas in the United States are
in farm woodlots. These areas are
capable of being more intcnsively
managed than are the large timber
supply forests and can be made to
produce more timber than the forests
proper. As rule, however, the wood
lot Is deteriorating, because the own
ers are usually culling out the better
species, are making no provisions for
the future timber crops, and In many
places are using the woodlot as pas

scout first aid in saving the life OF a

Gus blood flow until the injured lad
could get medical aid.
DIR. e. Rich, who was summoned to
the lad, declared that in all probability

manner In which he had rendered first
