human nature for the farmer to save.

are more often than not abnormal ears.
due to late maturing or to some defect
which nature has endeavored to cor
rect during the period of growing by
the use of abnormal methods. As a
general thing, the offspring Of such an
ear is weak.
A medium sized ear, say ten and
half or eleven inches long, with cir
conference Of approximately seven
inches, is about right. Straight rows
indicate careful selection and breeding
in the seed which produced the ear,
and for this reason are desirable. On
the other hand, some varieties Of corn
are known by their enthusiastically
crooked rows and shsrNI not be dis
eliminated against. An average ear Of
the size stated will weigh about IA
ounces when It's moisture content is
Is per cent, and it will shrink in length
| from one to two inches during the
process of drying. OF course it will
also shrink in circumference, which is
something that is not generally OBJ
served by farmers.
Before the selected corn is finally
stored it must be dried out, so that it's
moisture content will fall as low as Is
per cent. If possible. Under such con-
ditions even very hard freeze will
have little or no effect on the vitality
of the seed. If the drying out process
can be carried on in room where
tt ere is stove heat. or in another room
near enough to get the heat from q
stove, so much the better
One Of the best and simplest meth.
DDS Of storing seed corn Is to tie 1t uI
with binder Irvine. each string con
tanning from II to Is ears. These
strings may be suspended from wires
strung in the barn or other places
where the corn is to be kept. and 1t Is
important that the individual ears
should not touch each other. Corr
that is to be used for seed should never
be piled up.
The best place to store corn is some
place where 1t is dry, and where Their,
is room for the circulation of ali
between the ears or rows. II a room
or attic In the farmhouse can b,
utilized for this purpose, it makes az
ideal storing place. But If any out

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 a lesson. We should have
saved 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 will 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 it will not be
wasted. 1t always will have market
value or it may be fed to stock. If it
should be needed for seed, it 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 Gown
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 OF

The Rise Of Raccoon Coats.

Twenty-Five years ago, when raceoon
coats were selling at $40, many poorly
paid workers possessed them, but In
the short interval of time elapsed,
they have risen in price to $1,000 for
Il coat of matched skins. says the Co
lumbus Dispatch.
With the coming of the motor car.
the raccoon climbed socially and a
coon coat became almost an indispens-
able part of the outfit for motorist
BY 1914 the coats had risen In price
from $40 to 500 and $50 and this
winter the same coats are easily being
sold to dealers for $500.
Since IL takes from twenty {.
twenty-five skins for coat of this
kind, with prime skins selling at SIS
apiece and the cutters demanding $1U
a week, IT is no wonder that prices arr
so high.

REAcH's AMERICAN LEAGUE

American League Guide, of which the
veteran, Francis c. Richter, is editor,
has come to hand, and is, as usual. a
welcome visitor particularly this
spring when so many changes-over
SO to be precise--in the playing rules
have been made. These will all be
found in the official guide each in their
proper place, and, moreover, set in
italics to enable the reader to dis
tinguish them at a glance. This guide
is not only valuable for the official
playing rules, the official record and
average of the American League, the
National League, the Worlds Series,
and all Of the minor leagues-which
are all set out in full-but also for
mass OF valuable information pertain
ing to base ball. Part one is devoted
to editorial comment: part two to the

1920 Worlds Series; part four to the
general records Of the 1920 season;
part five to the National Association
Of Minor Leagues; and part six to the
historical doings Of the 1920 season
and the official playing rules. The
whole forms combination which, for

.PRESBYTERIANS
Meet ON MAY 70
WOMEN SHALL BE Al
LOWED TO PREACH AND OTHER
BIG ISSUES ARE TO COME UP
FOR DISCUSSION.

Philadelphia, May 8. Whether
women shall be allowed to I'LL the
pulpits of Presbyterian church or TO
act as elders, will. be one OF the I'M
portant questions considered at the
132nd annual meeting OF the General
Assembly Of the Presbyterian Church,
beginning here May 20.
At the last general assembly a spe-
cial committee was appointed to de-
termine the views of the constituency
on whether women should hold off,
cial position in the church organiza-
ton. DIR. 8. Hall Young, chairman, Is
Withholding all information on the re-,
port. A serious discussion is anttci-
pated on the measure of the continued
participation of the church in the
Interchurch World movement.
The New Era Movement, the Inter-
church World movement, an organized
union Of Christianity, the relation Of
church to industry and the killing Of
Christians by the Turks are the most
important subjects to be discussed.
The Tooth anniversary OF the Pres
byterian Board Of Education, which
now is combined with the college
board in the general Board of Educa-
ton. and the fiftieth anniversary Of
the Women's boards of foreign mis-
sions will be observed in connection
with the meeting.
DR.. James Gray Bolton, chairman
Of the publicity committee, points out
in connection with the new era and
interchurch movements that from 1890
to 1919 the Presbyterian church has
grown from ten ministers, eighteen
churches and 1000 communicates, to
9,91S ministers, 9,S05 churches and L.
603,033 members. The communicates,
who are those on the roll in good
standing, represent Presbyterian con-
stituency of 100000, including bap-
tized children and adherents who are
not members.
In 1888, the year in which appears
the first record benevolence for work
outside the Presbytery or the individ-
ual church, there was 1852 devoted to
this purpose. In 1919 the amount con-
tributed for benevolence was SILL
485,327.
DR.. John Mcdowell, secretary Of the
board of home missions, and director
of the department Of social service in
the New Era Movement, will submit
an exhaustive report on the relation
of the church to industry. This is in
accord with directions given at the pre-
ceding general assembly.
Mr.. Mcdowell has conferred with
employers and employees. His effort
has been to reconcile differences along
Christian lines. Establishment Of
schools for foreman is one suggestion
he makes, in the belief that foremen
are frequently the cause OF clashes.
