Special Care of Seed Corn
 Brings Increased Yield

Dependable seed corn for any To- cality, in the opinion of the United States Department of Agriculture, is that which under the local conditions will produce the most abundant crop of good quality. Corn yields usually are lower because seed of first qual- ity has not been planted Depend able seed corn always permits timely planting, thus giving the crop added opportunity for growth during the most favorable period.
 The departments corn specialists have been conducting experiments in the selection, curing, and storage of seed corn. One of the most striking results of these experiments is that the yield of the succeeding crop may be materially affected by the c0ndT- tions under which the seed is stored. It has been proved that seed corn dried promptly after gathering, and kept dry during winter, will yield from a few up to IS bushels more than exactly similar corn gathered at the same time and stored in a crib without special attention The 18-busheI increase in yield was ob- aimed from q lot of corn which ger minated no better than a similar lot that had been kept III crib The difference was due entirely to prompt drying of the seed ears and gooG care of them during the winter.

Hold the knife in the hand with the blade projecting beyond the index finger so that it will cut the sole but not the vamp.

Disking After Small Grain
 Harvest Kills Many Weeds

Much of next years weed trouble can be avoided, as shown by studies in the United States Department of Agriculture, by the use of the har- row or disk in the field after the small grain crop is harvested. This practice is particularly recommended in the northern States. Stirring the : nd at this time encourages the examination cf the weed seeds that are at or near the s'rface. The seedlings are then killed by fall blowing or by the cold weather.
 Some weeds, such as the ragweed or foxtail, start to mature seeds soon after harvest, so that great care must be taken to turn the plants r7. der before the seeds approach matur. ity. Flowing, without the prelim
 mary disking, would turn under millions of weed seeds, where they would be protected from winter kill ing and make trouble in future years

Destroy Wild Cucumbers;
 Prevent Mosaic Disease

Of special importance to cucum- ber-pickle growers is the discovery made by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture that the wild cucumber is the principal means by which the mosaic trouble, commonly known as white-pickle disease, is carried over from one season to the next. The seed produced on mo saic-diseased wild cucumber carries the disease through the winter, caus- ing it to reappear on the wild plants the following spring. Insects which feed first on the mosaic wild cucum- bers, and later on the cultivated crop in nearby fields, carry the disease to the cultivated plants.
 Efforts are being made to nave the wild cucumber eradicated from the pickle-growing sections, and preliminary tests have indicated that it's removal will reduce if not en- tirely eliminate this serious disease of cucumbers.

Half-Soling Shoes at
 Home Saves Repair Cost

When the soles of pair of shoes have worn through or begin to wear thin they should be repaired imme- diately. Anyone can learn to do this at home, says the United States Department of Agriculture. In pre- pairing the shoe to be half-soled a few simple tools are needed. The important ones are: Shoe last, ham mer, box of clinch nails, a sharp knife, and a burnisher. These may be purchased at any hardware store. The size of the nails to be used will be determined by the thickness of the sole leathr. The nails should be long enough to clinch the inner sole. Sole leather may be purchased in one piece to be cut up as needed o1 in the form of half soles.
 Remove the old sole with slant ing cut across the instep so that the inside edge of the new sole will bt shorter. Place the leather to b. used in warm water for a few min utes until it becomes pliable and vii fit snugly against the shoe. Cut i roughly into shape. With knif pare a bevel cn the edge that fit against the instep. The bevel shoul be on the flesh siGe of the leather Place the flesh side of the leathe against the shoe and insert tao in the center of the toe to hold tn leather in place so that it may b tackled.
 With the shoe on the last, begin tack from the instep toward the to- tacking frs on one edge and then o the other. Place tacks about on' fourth inch apart and approximate one-fourth inch from the outer edg

WELFARE WORK

TT is certain that welfare work in
l. the big industrial and commercial
enterprises is going to see great OK
pansion 1t has been proved that it
pays And once that proof is recog-
nized, no plant that has forward
looking policy is going to be without
its welfare department, and its trained
welfare expert This work is especial
ly suited TO women and it is up to a
woman who wishes to enter the field
to get her necessary training and then
90 out after the job She will land
it, for the supply of good welfare
workers is far below the growing de-
mand.
1t is becoming generally known to
even the most reactionary of employ
ers that a contented body of workers
is their safest and soundest asset. The
woman who is able TO reconcile differ
ences between the employees and the
employer, who can explain the one
to the other is often able to avoid a
disastrous strike.
OF course, such a woman must un-
derstand the proper installation of
rest-roOms, the managing of luncheons
at cost, the proper airing and warm
ing of the workrooms. But even more
necessary is it that she should have
the power to win the confidence and
respect of those for whom she works.
She must be known to be fair and just,
and she must join sympathy and hu-
NOR in her makeup if she is to succeed
in making both sides believe i'm her.
you've got to be human clear to
the marrow OF your bones,' one woman
who has the welfare of a thousand
employees in her charge said to me.
There isn't job in the world
would change for this one, but make
no mistake. it's full of pitfalls and it's
hard work The girls here come to
me when they won't go to their own
mothers with their troubles, because
they know there isn't a thing /
wouldn't do for them if it's right to do
it. And | feel every day that I'm do
ing something worth while"
Any woman would feel the same.
And women who have the type of per-
sOnality that will tell in welfare work
should train for tit is really a great
opportunity.
