TEST SEEDS BEFORE SOWING
Essential Preparation Consists of Pro-
viding Apparatus and Knowledge
of Methods.

Practically the only element in crop
production that the farmer has COM
pletely under his own control Is the
planting of good seed.
1t is important that farm seeds be
tested before they are sown. Other.
wise, a full crop cannot be grown
even under the most favorable wealth
er conditions.
Seed testing for practical results,
says the United States Department of
Agriculture, can be done much more
easily than is generally believed.
The essential preparation for max
ing seed tests consists of providing
the simple apparatus necessary and
Of becoming familiar with the general
purposes and methods of testing and
the features Of Importance peculiar
to tests of particular kinds of seeds.

Is Taking Place Of Oak for
Furniture.
Des Moines School Board Makes
Interesting Postwar
Discovery.

Des Moines.-Desks and furniture in
many of the Des Moines schools soon
will be of American walnut, and the
school board attributed the change
from quarter-Sawed oak to walnut to
the war. The secretary of the board
says he believes he was able to get
walnut because 1t was supposed to
have become SO scarce that everyone
had ceased to look for it
Incidentally, the walnut to be used
has a varied travelling history. 1t was
originally cut and seasoned for the
United States government for airplane
propellers. 1t had been sold by the
United States to France, and when the
war ended France turned the wood
back to this country. 1t was sold and
resold several times and was loaded
for shipment to Chicago when the
school board started out to buy quar-
ter sawed oak to build desks and fur
niture.
The oak, heretofore the standard for
school furniture, was found to be too
costly by the board of school commits
soners. A few dealers submitted
prices around $3.50 a thousand board
feet and did not appear overly anxious
( for the order even at that figure.
| 1t was then that the secretary of
/ the board heard Of the shipment of
walnut and investigated. He was i'm.
mediately given a price Of $500 thou
sand feet and bought $4,000 worth of
/ it. Since that time the board of com,

Boy Scout Saves Mother
and Pet Canary at Fire

New YOrk.-Fifteen-year-old
Melvin Peterki1 carried his
mother, hysterical from fright,
out of their burning home at 50
bennington avenue, Woodhaven,
Queens, and then, lodging past
firemen, who would have inter-
cepted him, rushed back into
the blazing house and saved her
pet canary.
The fire, which started at 81
bennington avenue, ignited the
roof of the adjoining building
and was cracking tiercely in the
attic when Melvin awoke. He
found his mother, Mrs. Herbert
Peterkin, in the next room and
shouted to her to flee. She re-
fused. The boy argued with her
until the ceiling started to sag.
Then he picked he up and,
though she is twice his weight,
bore her bodily to the street.
Then he rescued the canary.
The boy is a member of Troop
9, WoOdhaven boy scouts.

years has endeavored to interest the
people in this country in using shark
meat as an edible product, with GER
tain amount of success. In fact, that
species of shark known as the dog fish
is being canned in large quantities and
sold under the name of gray fish. Ger
tain fisheries on the New England
coast are removing the head, tail and
fins and selling the product in Boston
and New York as deep-sea sword fish.

In Boston, also shark meat is being
sold as such to the italian trade, who
appreciate its food value and enjoy its
delicate flavor. Why, then, should we
not take a lesson from the Italians and
acquire the shark-eating habit?
For the last five or six years the
writer has been interested in develop
ing a method for converting shark
skins into a merchantable leather. AS
a result of this work several processes
have been devised which have been
assigned to a company operating fish
cries in the south.
A conservative estimate indicates
that for catch of 1000 sharks daily,
at an average weight of 200 pounds,
there would be 100000 pounds of fish.
AS at least 80 per cent could be used
for human consumption, we would
have 100000 pounds daily, or 73,0OO,-
600 pounds annually. Assuming that
the market price could be set at 1C
cents, we have a saving of $7,300000.

Fundamental plant additions must be

This has been the practice of this Company
for many years.
When the telephone properties were re-

situation with respect to plant facilities was:
(a) The annual construction program dur
ing the prior five years had not been accom-
plished because Of war conditions and govern
eminent needs.
b) Necessary surplus facilities were
largely exhausted.
(c) Equipment in service was greatly
overloaded.
cd The demand for service was the
greatest ever known.

TO meet the present and immediate future de-
mands for service, required that the Company
do four years construction work in one year!I
An obvious impossibility.
Plans for the 1920 construction program
were begun In August, 1919, and completed
IN November.
Additional facilities for Florida to cost
