vrsY THE farmers of this cOun-
It'll try want TO profit by the
I'LL experience of recent years,
Hill when they were several
Uu times caught without home
grown seed, resulting In
poor crops, they will at
once turn their attention TO the selec-
tlon of plenty Of good seed for their
own use as well as to sell to their
pelghbors. II next years corn crop
should be total or partial failure, 1t
might not be possible TO harvest any
good seed at all from It. In that event,
this years seed, If properly chosen and
well cared for during the winter
months, will not only be good seed for
1920 but better seed In 1921 than i'm
ported seed will be.
In 1915, in the northern corn belt,
most of the corn failed to mature. We
had little good homegrown seed for
the 1916 planting This should have
taught us lesson. We should have
saved a two years supply for seed In
1916, but we didn't In 1917 the corn
again failed to mature and we were
again caught without seed. The result
was that the farmers of the United
States lost millions Of dollars because
of the reduced yield in 1918. The
1919 corn crop promises to be one of
the largest on record, and few farm
ers viii have any excuse for not saving
an abundance Of seed.
To save plenty of good seed Is al
ways good business. If our surplus Is
not needed for seed II will not be
wasted. It always will have market
value, or 1t may be fed TO stock. II 1t
should be needed for seed, 1t will be
worth many times its market value as
grain. We can import potatoes, oats
or wheat, but we cannot import seed
corn and expect TO get as good results
as we would get from corn grown In
the immediate neighborhOOd.
The Importance of testing seed corn
before planting is now generally .recog-
nized and practiced by farmers every
where, but all the testing in the world
will avail nothing unless good seed Is
selected after harvest and then prop
erly stored and cared for until test
ing time comes.
Paradoxical as It may seem, the
best looking ears will not always prove
to be the best for seed. As mat
ter of fact, one national authority on
the subject states that he has fire.
quently planted seed from blue-ribbon
ears-ears judged according to the
score card and seemingly physically
perfect-and failed to get as good re-
suits from them as he did from ears
which would never win a prize on &C
count ot their shape The trouble is
that these fine looking ears do not give
any line on their yielding power until
after they have been tested. Conse-
,auently, If farmer selects ears based
solely on their appearance, he might
get nothing but poor reproducers, and
II would then be too late to save other
ears for planting.

SOapBubbles Kept
Intact Whole Year

f. r. s., Fulerian Professor of Chem.
lstry, Royal Institution of Great
Britain, and an honorary member of
the Franklin Institute
The soap bubble is a simple thing,
yet it has always been more or less
a mystery to scientists. They consider
1t perhaps the best phenomenon exist
ing for the study of the habits and
idlosyncrasies of the molecule.
Scientists now claim, on the
strength of the experiment made by
Sir James Dewar, that when a soap
bubble becomes very old, say in three
or four days, 1t offers the only pos
sible example of the molecule visible
to the naked eye. Most parts of the
bubble are estimated to consist of
about one hundred layers of molecules.
But by various methods of treatment
the bubble is induced to perform
stunts" until in black spots which
appear 1t represents only a single lay
er of molecules.
Remarkable Strength.
This layer IS so thin that Sir James
estimates II would take one and one
third million like it, superimposed. TO
make an inch. Yet, when the soap bub-
BILE is permitted to mature In air that
has been freed of its natural enemies.
1t Is so strong that 1t will support
drops of water many times Its own
weight before breaking. Sometimes a
bubble is torn from its supporting ring
by the weight before the molecules re-
lease their bulldog grip.
