No, not a munitions factory. Those
cylindrical objects lying in orderly COWS
on shelves are not %shrapnel, but ears
of corn. The slender filaments hat are
being sorted so carefully are not fuses,
but sprouts. The girls so pusily at work
before bench or box are not handling
%picrates, but seed corn.
The whole shows graphically how one
agent of the United States department
of agriculture and the Missouri agri-
cultural college went about making sure
that the 1918 corn crop would not fail
the cause of world freedom for lack
of viable seed, 1t 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 for a like reason.
What One County Saved.
These pictures show the central test
ing station established in February,
1918, by the county agent of Livingston
county, Missouri, In this, and in eight
local testing stations scattered about
the county, 10,951 bushels of corn were
ear tested before complaining time
came last spring. OF this corn more
than 1000 bushels we're thrown out as
being unfit for planting-which means
that 1000 bushels of corn were saved
for feed. Otherwise, it would have rot
ted in the ground, making an equiva-
lent replanting necessary. More than
5000 bushels were certified as being
sure to give a satisfactory percentage
of termination.
In this instance egg crates, with their
little strawboard cells, were used for
testing-a somewhat novel method that
has found favor in some localities. The
kernels to be tested are planted in
| the pasteboard cells. six grains from an
ear, and a cell to each ear. After suf-
ficient time for termination, the crates
are opened and the ears are saved for
| seed or discarded, ACCORDING to the per-
centage of termination shown by the
| corresponding kernels. Each ear has
a number corresponding to that of the
| cell in which the sample kernels taken
| from it are put for termination, so 1t
is cary to make the final sorting.
Results Shown in Field.
Over a thousand farmers brought
| their seed corn to one or another of
the nine testing stations established In
Livingston county last year, and prac-
tically every field planted with corn
thus tested showed a strong stand
The corn saved to the country and
the world last summer through such
testing stations as these will total mill
lions of bushels. More important, per-
haps, than this great Immediate saw
ing is the future saving that is as
| sured through the demonstration of the
practical value of testing afforded by
the seed corn campaign in the spring
of 1918.

e. The Beginning,
Freddie and Mr.. Smithers talked for
hours there that morning in "Smithers'
Hardware Store" And, at the end of
that time they both felt better; much
better. Freddie had become acquainted
with his new father-in-law, and be-
meath that gentleman's clumsy man

ing friend. Mr.. Smithers was frankly
elated. His daughter-his wilful. head
strong, handsome daughter-had mar

Portable circumstances. and the boy
himself was every inch a man by any
standard OF manhood. 1t was all much
more than Mr.. Smithers ever had
hoped. When they left the store they

since she had married Freddie last
night had happened as things happen
to the heroines in romance. Why, the
instant Freddie had become her hus-
band he had begun to behave as though
he scarcely knew her! Nothing in the
Mapleville morning newspapers about
their elopement. She wished furiously
that she had thought to call them UP
herself! Why. nobody yer knew that
she was married. Not a person had
turned his head as he passed the house
that morning. She might as well not
be married. And to cap the climax
here were her father and Freddie re-
turning to the house arm-in-arm. Not
ever the romance of opposition. Only
too we'll she read in her fathers look
that he was glad she was married

THE WEATHER IN APRIL.

-
In spite of the very unpleasant and
unusual cool weather during the month
of April no frost, either light or killing,
has been recorded at the local weather
station, Alex. l.. Henle, cooperative
observer. A sharp turn in temperature
was experienced during the latter part
of the month, the thermometer register
ing a maximum of u degrees on April
%, and two days later minimum of
rs degrees Fahrenheit. The mean tenn
perature for the month was .45.9, quite
a low average compared with other years
in the last decade.
The big surprise of the month was the
heavy snow fall covering the ground
with 1915 inches of snow and bringing
the total precipitation for the month
up to the high total of SIT inches. The
prevailing wind came down from south
erly direction bringing heavy clouds.
This accounted for the many cloudy or
partly cloudy days, numbering 81, more
than two thirds of the month. The
remaining days are recorded as clear.
There were altogether six thunderstorms
during the month.

his business and he had the satisfaction
of seeing his venture grow and this helped
to keep alive his enthusiasm to own a
real up-to-date drug store. His ambi-

years ago when he purchased the bust
ness block adjoining the Brown County
Bank and remode1ed this store room to
meet with his ideas of what a drug store
should look like. After he got thru with
