ture, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
They affect the kernels of corn in
such a way that while they may germl-
nate they often viii produce sickly.
diseased plants which may die in early
stages or produce INFECTED corn These
diseases weaken the plants at the low
er joints, and II they come TO maturity
the damage is perpetuated.
II is necessary for farmers wishing
to avoid corn root rot to terminate
Kernels from every ear of corn to be
used for seed. The simplest method
OF making a test Is by means of an
improved rag-doll germinat0r. This,
In its essential features, consists of
nothing more than broad strip of
muslin backed by moistureproof fiber
paper. Rows of seed kernels are
placed on the cloth which Is rolled
up and left in warm box. The re-
suits are. Of course, checked against
the ears from which the kernels were
taken. and only perfect, or nearly per-
feet, ears are kept for seed. This
germinator Is very simple and fur
nishes a practically complete test.
Bleached or unhleaChed muslin can
be used for the rag doll The cloth.
which usually comes In 54-inch
width. is torn across into 12-inch
strips, 81 inches long. Before being
used the cloth is boiled, and it should
be damp when the seeds are placed
on il. This cloth is laid on a strip
of glazed paper, a little longer than
the cloth, to allow folding over at the
ends, fresh newspapers being placed
on the table under the paper to avoid
infection,
About s kernels are then taken from
each ear and, beginning at the butt,
are laid In rows across the muslin
strip. so that when the strip Is rolled
up and placed in a terminating box
the tips of the seed will be down
ward. The rag dolls are sprinkled
twice daily, and Mt the end of days
are taken out, unroned, and in.
spectei. The appearance of the
| sprouts is a guide TO the quality of
| the seed If more than one seed shows
| signs of infection. the infected ear Is
thrown out II the farmer has enough
corn Il is best to throw out an ear for
a single bad kernel.

SALMON LEADS
 IN EXPORTS
 FOR OCTOBER

Alaska products exported to the States during the month of October had total value of $5.33O,3l5, ac- cordinE to the monthly statement of shipments from Alaska issued by John W Troy, collector of customs. Canned salmon with a value of $i172,655 was the principal article of export.
 HEAVY LOSS IN SALMON
 The statement shows that there was falling off for the month as com pared to the exports of October of 1920 of $5O9I,2l9 Practically all of the loss is accounted for in two pro duets canned salmon and copper ore. In October, 1920. canned salmon to the value of SN.722,2Si Was exported as against 2l172.G55 for last month while copper ore decreased in value at the same time from $9iG42S to $Soo,- 309.
