Coroner u. Fl. Riesbv told news

That's just the way the matter will
be viewed by the political tricksters
in congress. 1t is not likely that
Henry Ford will get the lease on Mus
Gle Shoals. Why did the Alabama
Power Company wait until the very
day the matter is to be passed upon
finally by congress? Why has the
National Fertilizer Association fought
Henry Ford's proposal? Why are
Eastern capitalists, almost to a man
opposed to Ford's offer? The reason
is not far to seek. There are certain
political leaders that will not willing
ly sec such a tremendous development

given the lease, there is no danger
that the Alabama Power Company
will get it, the company perhaps does
not want it, certainly not for the
purpose of developing it. The ferti.
lizer people do not want it; they fea,
it, but offer no prospect of develop,
mcnt. The government, now that We
are at peace, does not desire to de.
velop the enterprise. In fact, it has
little reason to do so. The thwarting
of Ford's plan and turning down his
proposal, is the easy way TO frustrate
the whole contemplated development
We have little doubt but that the op
ponents of Ford's proposal, while
greatly in the minority in congress
will succeed in frustrating effectively
the move.

We have adopted the "Pull-Not'

being that the sun is the boil wevil's
most effective enemy, andthat they
multiply when shaded and during
rainy weather.
We also use the tucker Boil Wee.

plement company; and also powdered
calcium arsenic. However, this is
rathcr expensive to apply and we
toubt it being a good commercial
proposition when cotton sells below

We have made an average of eight
bales per plow on all of our river

Testing Seed Cord

Clemson College, eb. let is now
the time of year that farmers should
test their seeds to see that they are
in good condition for planting the
spring crop. This is especially true
of seed corn. A method of testing seed
corn which includes the testing for
diseases as well as termination is
discussed below, and detailed infor
nation concerning this method ma
be secured by writing to Clemson Col
lege or to the u. S. Department o.
Agriculture.
IF farmer wishes to test his seet
corn for termination only. without
making test for diseases, there is I;
very simple plan which any farme'
may follow readily. The nccessar,
materials consists Of box, some mus
The box may be made any size to SUI
the needs of the individual. The side
should be made of 2 timber Will
the bottom may be made of any co,
Tenient material. A box AZ inche'
long, 2S inches deep will test two hun
dred ears at one time. This is enou~l
seed to plant about 16 acres. 1t usu.
ally requires about IL ears to plan
an acre. Detailed instructions for test
ing seed corn by this method hav'
heen published several times and viii
be furnished upon application.
Testing Seed Corn for Diseases.
Every once in a while somebod'
learns something that upsets lot O.
our we'll established ideas abou'
things. This has recently happened
concerning corn diseases. We useC
to think that corn is practically fire.
Of important diseases, but we have
to change our minds. We now know
that there are some very serious
ones, and while we are still very fa'
from knowing all about them we dc
know how to avoid them to a larg'
extent.
The most destructive corn diseases
are connected with the seed, and ou,
method Of dealing with them is mere.
ly to test the seed and discard those
ears which are diseased. We useC
to think that a termination test is the
only one necessary. We now know
that more Is needed. An ear that
terminates 100 per cent is sometime:
diseased and unsuitable for planting.
The most practical method of test
ing seed corn for disease is by the
modified rag DOLL" modification o.
the rag doll method of testing fo'
termination, which makes it possibl,
to determine not only the termination
but also the condition of each ear as
to vieor and disease.
BY this test it may be found thai
among the best appearing seed ears
are many which germinate poorly
many which produce weak plants
many which produce diseased plants
and many which show various combi
nations of these. Not only this, bu
many of the weak and diseased ears
eerminate 100 per cent and under tn
old system Of testing would be uset
for seed and would produce stalks thai
are stunted, barren easily blown over
or produce nubbins only, etc.
Further details and full direction
for testing seed corn can be found II
