IMPROVEMENT OF TOBACCO
BY SELECTION OF SEEDS

High prices paid for recent crops
of tobacco have stimulated interest
in the crop to such a degree that
farmers are giving closer attention
than ever before to the quality Of
seeds they SOW, with the idea of get
ting the greatest possible yield and
the best grade OF leaf. Evidence as
to the acreage growers expect to
plant becomes apparent early each
year at the University of Kentucky
Experiment Station at Lexington,
where quantities Of tobacco seeds
are brought for grading.
This work is done free of charge
in the Department of Entomology
and Botany, where the first lots
were received this year at the Seed
Laboratory in December, 1919. Dur
ing this month 5,947 ounces were re-
ceived. In, January, 4,SSS ounces
were graded. In February. 2,9S3,
and in March 1855 ounces were grad
ed; making a total for this season
of 14,503 ounces, worth, at two dol
lars an ounce, $29,OO6.6O. About
seventy-fve per cent. of the seeds
were received in lots of less than a
pound. Larger lots were in some in
stances brought in by persons who
had grown them for sale.
Grading is done by machinery and
removes light and imperfect seeds,
leaving only the large, heavy ones
those that may be expected to pro-
duce perfect plants. 1t is a process
of selection, and is believed by far
mers to improve the crop decidedly
in both yield and quality, a view
with which those ii charge C: The
work are inclined TO agree, when I
they remember that the best plants /,
are selected for growth of seeds in
the fields.

SECRETARY WILL LEARN

An extremely timely and sane edi.
torial on the value of public opinion
has lately appeared in the Southern
Agriculturist. II is printed below to
set farmers TO thinking more about
the cooperation that creates public
opinion:
Secretary Meredith is a good bust
ness man, and a man who knows
much better than does Congress
what the Department of Agriculture
could and should do for the farmer.
One Washington newspaper man
commented on the Secretary's calm
confidence that when he had pre-
pared a businesslike estimate for
his Department appropriations, and
had the reasons ready 10 show why
each should be made, Congress would
make the appropriations as matter
Of course. Secretary Meredith is
new to Washington's ways" was
his comment on the congressional
economy spasm.
The Secretary may be trusted TO
get acquainted with the ways of
Congress; and il is time for the far
mers of the country to do the same
thing, and especially to let Congress
get better acquainted with them. We
need more men from the farms and
more men with some real knowledge
of farm life to represent us in Con-
gress; and we need TO be much more
active and persistent in letting all
our Congressman and Senators know
what We want and what the farm
point of view is. The average poll
tician is moved by the presence of
public opinion as by nothing elseI
II is our part TO make our views a
part of public opinion, as we can do
by organizing, and then 10 let the
men who represent us feel the pres
sure of that opinion.

hAPPY WOMAN
REALIZES HER
MISTAKE NOW
81 Would be About 500 Better
Off II I'D Taken Trutona
First" Says Mrs. Brown

Louisville, Ky, May Isl real
ize now that I'd be about one hun
dred dollars better off IL I'd taken
Trutona first, instead of trying the
numerous medicines l did without
getting results" Mrs. r. E. Brown,
662 South Twenty-third Street, Lou
isvi.le, told the Trutona Representa-
tive recently.
II had indigestion, "Mrs. Brown
said in describing her troubles" 1t
seemed there was nothing | could
eat that would agree with me. The
indigestion caused me to be annoyed
with dizziness. II would stoop
over felt was going to fall and If
i walked up stairs I'd be annoyed
by black spots forming before my
eyes"
$50 many people spoke highly of
Trutona in the papers that / decided
to try it. Many of them had suf-
fered from troubles like mine, too.
/ had tried medicine after medicine
without results and had gotten fair
ly disguised, I'll tell you. But Tru-
tona has entirely relieved all of my
troubles and can truthfully say
now, that 1 feel better than l have
for years"
Mrs. Browns statement should
prove of the deepest interest to ev-
cry one who is suffering from stom-
ach, liver and bowel troubles. That
Trutona completely relieved her
.roublcs after other mdicines failed
has been definitely stated and if Tru-
iona will do that for one person
as matter of fact. the Perfect Tom
C has done it for thousands-it will |
certainly do the same for you!
Trutona is sold in Hartford at
James H. Williams, and in Beaver
Dam, KY, at the Beaver Dam Drug

HOW DOLLAR WORKS FOR You
Benjamin Frank!in's Fund Of 5000
Grew to $431 1888 in One Hun
dred Years.

- How the dollar invested works for
the individual himself has been best
illustrated by that first great Ameri-
can teacher of thrift, Benjamin
Franklin. In 1891. he bequeathed
f1,OOO ($5,OOO) to the common
wealth Of Massachusetts and to the
city of Boston as mark of his appre-
citation for having appointed him as
agent in England at the handsome
salary Of f2OO0 (s10.O00) and to
make his bequest really valuable with
his great foresight, Franklin provided
in his will that this f1.00O should be
put out at per cent interest Tor one
hundred years: that at the end Of
that time 31-131 Of the fund accumu-
lated should again be put out at In
terest for another hundred years and
then the fund be divided one-fourth to
Boston and three-fourths to the state.
Let us show how well that f1,OOO
of Franklin's has worked. At the end
of the first hundred years 1t had
grown to $431 ,383.62. It was then d.
vided in accordance with the VIII
1898, ,3OO.4S was set aside for public
work" and $1O2, 2,OS3.14 was started on
its course of earning interest for an
other hundred years. That was in
1891. January /, 1918, this sum had
grown to $267 ,SO5.15 and at this rate
of increase the fund should amount
to at least six million dollars when
the second period is completed. and
may be considerable more WORLDS

Of the gray, straight frontiersman who
was his ancestor had still survived in
these remote Oregon wilds. The use
of the full name would do no harm.
Instead of hurting, it was positive
inspiration. The Chamber of Com
merce of the busy little Oregon city
was not usually exceptionally inter-
ested in stray hunters that wanted
boarding place for the summer. It's
business was finding country homes
for orchardists in the pleasant river
valleys. But it happened that the re-
ciDient of the wire was one Of the old
est residents. frontiersman himself.
and it was one of the traditions Of the
Old West that friendships were not
soon forgotten. Dan Failing / had
been a legend in the old trapping and
shooting days when this, man was
young. So it came about that when
Dams train stopped at Cheyenne, he
found a telegram waiting him:
"Any relation to Dan Failing Of the
Umpqua divide?"
Dan had never neard OF. the Ump-
qua divide, but he couldn't doubt but
that the sender of the wire referred
to his grandfather. He wired in the
affirmative. The head of the Chamber
Of Commerce received the wire, read
It, thrust 1t into his desk, and in the
face of really important piece Of
business proceeded to forget all about
it. Thus it came about that, except
for one thing, Dan Failing would have
probably stepped off the train at his
destination wholly unheralded and un-
met. The one thing that changed his
destiny was that at meeting Of a
certain widely known fraternal order
the next night, the Chamber Of Com
merce crossed trails with the Frontier
in the person Of another old resident
who had his home in the farthtst
reaches Of the Umpqua divide. The
latter asked the former to come hp
for few days sh0otiEee-the deer 10

Gods Plan.

The dew is the symbol Of Gods low
ing and continual care. Said a. man,
II would become a Christian II I
thought / could live up to it through
all the weary days that follow" That,
Of course, is the hardest part Of the
Christian life; 1t is not making the de-
cision, but it is keeping 1t through the
days that follow. Now, the dew comes
morning after morning. 1t comes
where rain never falls. It gives re-
freshment and strength for the day.
Literally it gives to the earth mighty
baptism of new life. That is Gods
plan for the earth. That, too, Is His
plan for our day-by-day life.
