stalks or from a variety which pro
duces a large stalk, but few and re
latively small ears. Seed corn should
have been ripened and preserved IN
a manner that will have insured It's
retaining it's full visibility up to the
time of planting. 1t is certain that
seed corn should be derived from
fields where disease has been mimi
mixed to the utmost and insect in
jury kept as completely under con-
troll as possible. These are simple
requirements, and yet they are OF
the utmost Importance. Ihese are
facts to which the planters atten-
ton is directed at this time ana
which cannot be emphasized TOO
strongly. Therefore, it will pay TO
make some effort to secure the very
best seed corn possible for planting
in 1922. If you expect to purchase
seed, buy it on the cob, II possible
You can also judge for yourself as
to the covering of the cob with a
desirable purity of the variety. All
the grains should be practically uni
form as to type and color, and large
ly so as to size as we'll A desirable
type of corn to plant in this section
should be relatively f1inty, as 1t
would be less subject to Weevil dam
age if that were true.
After the corn has been purchased
in the ear then lay these out IN
row and take from each ear as many
as five grains. The grains should De
selected from different parts OF the
ear. Plant these grains in a single
row in a sandbox. This box should
he kept moist and at the tempera-
ture of the living room. You can
tell very quickly the percentage OF
the grains that will terminate. l
would not plant any seed where the
termination was less than 50 per
cent and I would prefer it to be
100 per cent under the conditions
outlined. You may be surprised to
find that the grains from some Of the
ears do not terminate well at all.
These, of course, should be discard
ed even though they cost you some
money. They will evidence to you
the great variation to be found in
seed corn and the necessity Of its
rigid selection. Afrer the ears have
been tested and found to show high
powers of termination then shell
the corn and plant as you do under
ordinary circumstances.
It is desirable on every farm that
arrangements should be made to
plant a seed corn patch this year.
An acre of land should be selected
for this purpose. 1t should be well
away from any other corn. 1t should
be well MANFRED and fortified and
the best seed available should be
planted thereon. If you take steps
in this direction you will find it one
of the best investments you have
ever made, because you will be lay
ing the foundation for the selection
of a strain of seed corn that will
enable you to increase the yield per
acre of this crop by several bushels.
There are few ways in which we
could add so materially to the rev.
enues of our farmers in 1922 at
comparatively so small an outlay as
though the seed corn which we eX-
pect to plant this spriug with the
utmost skill and care we can bring

Seed Corn

We now grow corn on several mil
non acras of land in Georgia each
year. It may be said in many re-
spects to be our major crop. 1t is
not our chief money crop by any
means, but it at least takes second
place. 1t provides the sinews of
war with which to grow our cotton
crop. This is due to the fact that
IL supplies the chief concentrate
which we feed to our work stock.
corn is also an element of impCr-
lance in the dietary of our peoples
we have never been able to eat
cotton, no matter how great the
stress of circumstances might be,
out we have always been able to
eat corn. Sometimes I wonder if
we realize what benign crop it
Is, and how really essential it is to
our happiness and welfare. Some
times 1 wonder if we see anything in
corn except stalks growing in the
held with leaves attached thereto.
L believe if we studied this plant
a little more carefully it would do
us lot of good. In a short time
we would discover that there are all
Kinds of corn planted, that they vary
Just as widely as the individuals we
meet on the street, that some of
them are worthwhile plants strug-
Cling to give a profitable yield to
the landowner. Others of them are
sickly, diseased, or Indifferent,
while a lot of them are mere drones
occupying the soil, drinking up the
water it provides, shimmering in
the sunshine of the open spaces, and
yet producing nothing of any value.
If we increase the yield of corn
but one bushel per acre next year
we will have performed a piece of
important service work for the
benefit of all the three million peo-
who live in our state. To &C ON
pill a small undertaking of this
character would add at least 81 to
the wealth of each of the individu-
saconcerned. I am wondering if
we realize that this might be done

with comparative simplicity, or if
we are laboriA~ under the impress
sion that it would cali for an out
lay of large sums OF money, a great
deal of human energy, and call for
several years of patient waiting for
results. If a man were to come
to our state and offer to sell US,
even at a large price, something
that would add to the productive
elue of each acre of land the
equivalent of dollar, we would hail
him as a wise friend and counsellor,
and certainly we would hasten to do
him obeisance and to honor him &C.
cording to our conceptions of what
that word may mean to us indiVidu-
ally. We do not need to bring any
stranger from without t e gates to
accomplish the end indicated, be-
cause we have the knowledge and
the power to- achieve this desirable
end at our own command. Why not
put the necessary ".ctors to work,
therefore, and join up with nature
in a campaign for the material i'm
provement of our corn crop? /
think we would all do this if we
realized more generally how rap
idly the yields of corn may be in
creAs / and how gladly nature gives
of her bounty to those who CO.
operate with her along rational
lines.
The low yield of corn we are pro.
ducing is detriment to the progress
of our agriculture and the individu-
ais engaged in the cultivation of the
land The idea of anyone spending
a whole year of effort in raising Is
bushels or corn, What a large
amount of energy it represents and
how much of wasted effort it in
cludes. Why shuold anyone do this
if they could grow 20, 25, 80 or even
40 bushels of corn per acre? 1t is
because the most of those engaged
in the production Of corn do not un-
derstand how to go about increasing
the present yields they are securing.
1t is therefore pleasant to be able to
convey the good news to our pro-

MARY MEPEDITA'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

L am BOY OF IL years, ana nave
been corresponding with a girl Is
years of age-just as a friend. We
have exchanged letters for nearly 2
years.
This girl wrote me and asked me
to write long letters. She said
wrote business letters, brief and to

write long and jolly letters;
and she is right about it for that
part of it. And would like to ask
YOU what could do to improve? 1
would like to write jolly and good
letters. I wonder if 1 could read
good stories and improve some? If
you will give me some information
on this I will appreciate it very
much. Yours truly,
JACK BEARD.
Try to imagine the person to
whom you are going to write is sit
ting in the room with you. Try to.
make your letters be conversation
al. Tell Of the funny things you
see and hear as if you were talk
ing instead of writing. Perhaps
you saw something very funny, and
it tickled you into laughter long
after it happened, and you wanted
to tell it, tell it on paper just as if
you were talking-try to imagine
yourself talking to the one who re-
ceives the letter and your letters will
be jolly and long. Try this method
and see. Reading will help you con-
siderably. 1t will improve your spell
ing also.

Hikes From Canada
EnrOute to Boston
Rests at Augusta

Joseph Jessome of North Sidney,
Cape Breton. arrived in Augusta Mon
day afternoon on hike from North
Sidney to Boston. He expects to walk
a distance of over 100 miles.
Mr.. Jessome claims that he is the
representative of the North Sidney Y.
NJ. c. A. and that two other members
of the party leaving the Cape Breton
town with him on September 20 are
about IS miles behind. They are Miss
Alice Woods White Of Boston, repre-
senting the Y. w. c.. A.. and her
brother. Ernest White, representing
the Y. NJ. c. A.
Their first day the party walked
from North Sidney to Pembroke,
Maine, where Mr.. Jessome said they
discovered another party of mixers
bent upon beating them to the Hub.
He then started to open up" and, &C
cording to his own story, performed
the remarkable stunt Of covering "a
miles his first day out, A his second
and As his third. His intention is to
average 40 miles dag for the balance
of his trip.
Mr.. Jessome said he left Durham
this morning and intended TO hike
about five miles beyond Augusta lefo'e
nightfaIl. He camps out every night
and is supposed to earn his food along
the way. He is SO years old and for

Rail traffic shows steady increase
since the close of the strike of shop
men. During August, car loadngs
averaged less than 100000 cars a
week. An advance began the week OF
September when loadings totaled
931,59S cars. In the following week,
loadings declined to S32,744 cars but
recovered quickly during the next
seven days. In the week ended Sept.
1G. 945919 ears of freight were re-
ccivcd and loaded.
Officials of the Interstate Commerce
Commission are watching the present
heavy movement of traffic to deter
mine what effect it will have upon the
ability of the roads to earn the full
return on investment fixed by law
The present large volume of freight
was anticipated by members of the
Commission when, last spring, they
reduced rates. 1t was urged that the
rate reduction would increase business
for the roads. Road officials protested
that the reduction was greater than
necessary to attract new business
