REPORTS Made
ON WHEATTESTS
Analysis Concluded Of 200
Samples to Determine
. terminating Qualities
SOME NOT FIT
FOR SEED PURPOSES

Special to The Evening Journal.
DOVER. Oct. 23.-H. n. Hanson
chemist for the State Board of Agri-
culture. has issued the following re-
port of analysis made OF seed wheat
throughout Delaware In response 70
his warning sent out a month ago
as 10 the terminating quality OF
homegrown wheat.
Just one month ago this labra-
tory sent out a warning in regard
70 the terminating quality Of home
grown wheat. The first sample was
sent in late in August and az the
sine OF the notice some fifteen or
twenty Samples had been received.
none OF which was Of good quality.
The response TO the warning was
immediate and up to the present
time nearly two hundred samples
have been received and tested for
growers in all parts OF the State.
1T Is gratifying 10 note that many
lots were found that terminated
over 30 per cent. few running as
high as 9S. Wheat which geminates
30 per cent. or better is good seed
wheat and al the usual rate OF SOW
ing will produce good stand as far
as the seed itself is concerned. Many
lots were found which ran between
so and 30 per cent. and with a slight
y increased amount OF sowing. this
would do we'll for seed.
On the other hand many samples
received have been found to be to-
tally unfit for seed. One or two lots
failed to- show a single sprout. while
others ran between 20 and so per
cent. A large number ran between
so and 20 per cent and such wheat
II sowD at the usual rate would. OF
course produce short crops.
THE desirability of having seed
tested has been well demonstrated
by these tests and Il is hoped that
the growers OF the State will con-
tinue to take advantage OF the ops.
portunity OF having seed tested be-
fore sowing. The laboratory has re-
ceived many requests for lnforma-
ton from those who desired TO OBJ
tan good seed wheat and list has
teerOkept Of all corr .spondents who
have had wheat tested and which
ran 80 per cent. or better.
a study OF the first 17s samples
of homegrown wheat shows that
the average termination for all
samples Ras - per cent: SIS samples
tested 90 per cent or better; 43 ran

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure cartarr-
nal deafness. and that is by constitu-
ional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes
When this tube inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh. which is an infiamed
condition OF the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrah Peafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medi
