ACTUAL CORN TEST

Gamers who arc vitality interested

fled rag doll Gcrminator test developed
by the United States depa rtment of ar-
riculturc in cooperation with the In

with apparent reason. that he could de-
tcct diseased or inferior corn in tho

servations against the revelations of

Ears from which kcrnals had been
taken wcrc presented to him for his
judgment. After he had selected what

results of the rag doll test were shown
him. some revealing incipient corn root
rot and other ailments which would
have made undesirable tho planting of
such corn. Tho veteran finally threw
up his hands and declared that mere
human Judgment stood no chance. He
has ordered that ALI seed used next

grow sweet corn for tho canncrv. This
enterprise is an example of effective
cooperation on tho part of tho Gamers

Inquiries arc frequently received by
tho Department OF Botany at the Colo

control measures for tho leaf spot"
of the sugar beet. This trouble is
caused by a parasitic fungus which
attacks only I'M leaves. giving them a

The fungus Is carried over from
year to year by tho vcEctativc portion
within the beet leaves. and 1t is doubt

The most practical method for con-

SUPER SYSTEM IN BUSINESS.

The other day the chairman Of one of the
Federal Reserve Bank boards made a few
striking remarks before the convention Of the
American Institute of Banking.
He commenced his talk by attacking the
present tendency to go through the motions Of
doing business without really getting down to
business. It's something a large part Of the
business world has been guilty of in the last
few years. A few wise ones have already dis
covered the disadvantages of such a system and
have set to work in earnest. When everybody
does the same thing business will be discovered
miraculously to have regained it's health.
Another fault of modern business is to overdo
It's organization and machinery. Both organiza-
tion and machinery are necessary, but they have
been SO deliberately developed that they are
becoming cumbersome and are leading to
bureauracy. In banking. particularly. it has
been observed that there are more titles than
there are necessary jobs, with the result that
the titles have come to have more Importance
than the work they represent. Said the au-
thority, RIt is not a question of what your
position Is. The question is, What are you your
self doing in it and with it?"
As to statistics, charts and arometer OF
business, the expert said: There are two sub
tects that cannot be charted: They are God and
human nature, and both cut quite a figure. 1t
Is my Judgment that a lot of us are getting
our trousers shiny sitting at our desk porting
sover statistics, department reports. etc., who
could spend our time to better advantage learn
ing the people in our organizations and getting
i more intimate knowledge of the viewpoint OF
those with whom we do business"
It is all quite true and though bankers may
IS temperamentally inclined to make these mis-
takes of REORGANIZATION, they are not the
only ones who are caught in the development OF
TOO much machinery. Many other branches OF
business and Of general human endeavor need
10 heed these words of warning.
