Why Test Seed CornI

Inc average Missouri farm grows
twenty-five acres Of corn each year
The approximate stand Is 72h Der
cent, This means that on every Mis-
souri, farm there are 5.S7 in every

work. by termination test Of every
seed ear, a perfect stand, as far as
seed is concerned, can be had. Allow
ing l2ls per cent decrease for unavoid-
able losses-wind, weather, and pests
"A gain Of Is per cent of corn Is
still possible as a result of testing,
This additional Is per cent of corn
would mean approximately AZ bush
els an acre. On the average farm
this would total ll2 bushels. II costs
about five cents an acre TO test each
ear OF seed corn. Individual tests are
absolutely. necessary to attain maxi
mum production.
This. says ]. C. Hackleman, of the
Extension Service of the University
Of Missouri College of Agriculture, is
the reason for testing seed corn. From
the farmers viewpoint, no work which
he can do in February or even most
Of March will be more profitable than
testing his seed corn, yet not mere
than one in twenty Missouri farmers
practice 1t, Obviously, the corn field
is an expensive seed tester. Yet
these farmers persist in planting un-
tested seed, with the result that they
must replant or be satisfied with q
poor stand, a consequent reduction In
yield, and lower return. II has beer
remarked that 1t is some trouble Il
test seed corn, but 1t is more trouble
to replant. Unfortunately, too man,
farmers neither test nor replant.

made at home, are described in Elk

TO Women
PUFFS AND FLOUNCES OF SEASON
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Skirts continue to absorb the pub
lie attention. Whether in France or
in America, men and women talk ex-
citedly of this one garment.
No one subject so delights the re-
ing his womenfolk all the time how
short the French women wear their
skirts. And all the women. now that
they realize that brevity of line is
fashion they must contemplate with
approval or disapproval. turn their
attention to the possibilities of width.
In France the skirts grow wider
and shorter. Here they are growing
wider.
The knee-length skirt is not worn
by the majority; therefore it attracts
extravagant attention when it is seen.
Those who have returned from
France with the five -nches-below-
the-knee skirt have run home to have
the hens let out after the first ap
pearance on the street.
One nurse who has arrived home
with a set of new French clothes as
a relief from her uniform says that
the attention she created in New
York when wearing her new skirt
compelled her to take cover much
the bombs at her hospital near the
front. She tried to be brave and run
the gantlet. but one mornings eX-
perience sent her to shelter. Even
the policeman on the corner stared
and said things to the air in tone
that carried the sound to her ears.
Whether or not we will become
accustomed to the knee-length skirt
as we did to the sheath skirt when
it was exploited time only can tell.
but we are rapidly adjusting our
selves to wide skirts.

and full from hips to hem. but it
