GOOD SEED CHEAPEST MEANS
OF INCREASING CORN YIELDS

Corn yields can be increased more
surely and cheaply by the use OF good
seed than in any other way, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Unless a community has an ex-
perienced and honest corn breeder,
the best place for the farmer to get
seed corn is from the fields on his
farm or in his neighborhood which
were planted with a variety that has
proved successful in the locality. The
time for selecting seed corn in the
field is almost here and preparations
for handling the seed should soon be
under way.
In selecting corn for seed, the ears
should be taken from stalks which
yield best in competition with others.
Picking the seed corn direct from the
field will give the farmer a chance
to do this, and also to get ears that
are free from disease and hang at
h eight convenient for husking
Dropping ears which shed rain read
lily usually will give the best seed,
while in the South 1t is necessary to
choose ears that are well protected
from insects by a long, tight husk
covering.
The same day the seed is gathered
it should be hung in dry, airy place.
One of the best ways to cure fseed
corn is to hang 1t from the rafters
of a barn or open shed, care being
taken to see that it is thoroughly dry
before there is danger Of freezing.
After It is well cured, store the corn
in dry place where 1t will not be
damaged by mice, rats, birds, and in
sects. The corn that produces the
best crop is cheapest in the long run
and care in selecting and handling
seed corn will be more than repaid by
increased yields.

ELECTRICITY ASSISTANT TO SOL

The International Institute of Ag-
riculture reports that farming by
electric light produces better an:
bigger crops than farming in sun
light. 1t reports that vegetables
have been successfully forced" by
the aid of electric light. Over a plot
Of lettuce five lamps were arranged
so that the light was diffused as UNI
form1y as possible. These lamps
were furnished with reflectors, and
the intensity of the illumination var
led over the surface at different
points. The lamps were switched on
for about six hours every day begin
ming at dusk Lettuce illuminated
had, after twelve days, about two and
half times as many fresh leaves as
those not illuminated Moreover, the
leaves Of the forced" produce, says
the Institute, "were larger and firmer
and realized better prices"
Plants exposed only to daylight re-
quired from four to five weeks, Or
double the time, to attain this degree
of development. 1t would be poss-
ible, therefore, in practice to obtain
in the same period Of time, two crops
of lettuce instead Of one.
After seven weeks of prolonged IL
Elimination comparison was made
between the plants of the illuminated
plot and those Of the plot not illum-
mated. A SO per cent superiority Of
xyot~hf ~ tho formar 0var tho latter
was found. e

CLUB BOY MAKES SUCCESS
WITH WELL.PLANNED GARDEN

Garden plans started during Christ
lowing summer earned a Minnesota
club boy a net profit Of more than
500 and the state garden club cham
pionship for last year.
Securing a location for his garden
early, this club boy, Willard Weeks,
plat, indicating the place for eacn
variety of seed, so that when he had
the ground prepared in the spring
there was no delay in laying OF and
planting the rows. A hotbed furnish
ed enough plants for his own use and
some surplus stock, which he sold.
A homemade seeder and cultivator
were useful features of his equip
ment.
The first products Of the garden
were ready for use 81 days after
planting. From that time on, thru
out the summer, this young gardener
not only supplied his family with all
the fresh vegetables needed, but
learning how to prepare his products
for market he built up an extensive
trade among his neighbors. Finding
the price for late products low, he
used the training he had acquired in
canning club work to put up tona-
toes, beets and corn, pickles and pre-
serves for winter use. At the end Of
the season his records showed the
total value Of vegetables used at home
and canned and stored for winter,
and sold, $135, produced at an ex-
pense of $21.50. All Of the planting
of the 65 by 100 foot garden, the can

A HARD RED SPRING WHEAT
RESISTANT. TO STEM RUST

A hard red spring wheat that is
resistant to the principal forms OF
black stem rust has been developed
In North Dakota by the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
North Dakota Agricultural Expert
ment station. This wheat was first
introduced from Russia in 1908 by
Prof. H. L. Bolley, and is now known
as Kota. About 5000 acres OF Kota
wheat were grown in 1922, and much
more this year.
The particular virtue Of Kota wheat
Is it's resistance to the black stem
rust which is general throughout the
hard red spring wheat region. It's
rust resistance was not determined
until after the great rust epidemic
of 1916. 1t is also fairly resistant to
drought and outyields Marquis IN
North Dakota, having averaged near
ly 8 bushels more per acre during the
past five years. 1t is bearded wheat
which ripens about as early as Mar
quis. In milling and baking expert
ments conducted Independently by the
of Agriculture and the
North Dakota Experiment Station,
Kota wheat has shown results nearly
equal to those obtained with Marquis.
Experiments with Kota wheat have
been carried on in a number Of other
states as we'll as in North Dakota,
and the wheat was found best adapted
to the district where durum wheat
is extensively grown, Kota wheat
could replace much OF the durum
wheat now grown in eastern North
Dakota and South Dakota with profit
to both the hard red spring and the
durum wheat industries, department
workers believe. This variety is rec
for North Dakota and ad-
jacent portions of neighboring states.

A striking contrast to this rapid
method of news gathering and distri-
button is an incident related recently
by a well-known newspaper man con-
corning the Brooklyn theatre fire, q
starting news event and tragedy Of
1876 in which nearly 800 lives were
lost. Not line of news about this
disaster appeared in any of the New
York city dailies the next morning.
Today, with the telephone to carry
the story, extra editions Of the news
papers would be on the streets long
before the fire was under control.
1t is safe to say that the modern
newspaper, with it's enormous circu-
lation and its mighty influence, would
be impossible were 1t not for the

so very many ways, forms an essen

BETTER LAMBS CAMPAIGN is
BIG SUCCESS IN KENTUCKY

Kentucky is leading the eastern
sheep producing states in a campaign
to eliminate the "bucky" lamb, &C
cording to reports to the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics Of the De-
partment of Agriculture. This is the
third season that the campaign has
been carried on by the state extern
sion agents, and as result it is es-
timated that more than 100000 locked
wether and eve lambs will be mar
keted from Kentucky this year. The
high quality of these lambs already
has attracted the attention of many
eastern buyers, who are going into
the state and buying direct from the
producers instead of waiting for the
lambs to arrive at the central mar
kets. A number of public auctions
have been held, with the highest bid
frequently with so cents per 100 lbs.
of the top at the leading eastern mar
kets the same day.
Losses from docking and castra-
ton have been very small. The
greatest advantage llOu oiiHiiA"SAh6
the "bucky" lamb, according to mem
bers of the trade and marketing spec
ialists, is in reducing the number Of
seconds and culls in the market re-
ceipts 1t is estimated that from one
third to one-half more lambs can be
in the future than are now
sold, because Of the improvement in
the supply.

FOREIGN POLICY OF U. S.
OUTLINED BY HUGHES
Can't Give Europe a Blank
Check" Secretary's First
Pronouncement States.

Washington. Secretary of State
Hughes has transmitted in despatch
from Washington, written in the first
person, to the American ambassadors
to the great powers abroad an outline
of the United States foreign policy.
1t is perhaps significant that this
document, received by cable after
President Coolidge assumed office, is
the first such pronouncement from the
present Secretary Of State. No similar
instructions were sent during the Har~
ding administration.
Mr.. Hughes declares that the Cow
eminent continues to adhere to the
proposal contained in his New Haven
speech early this year for an interna-
tional commission to assess Germany's
capacity to pay separations.
The United States, however, the Sec
rotary continues, will not commit itself
to any course of action, whether re-
garding the international commission
or any similar scheme before concrete

Any such concrete proposal, he as
serts, when submitted to the United
States Government, will be examined
and appraised by it with reference To
the justice and practicability of the
scheme and it's bearing upon essential
American interests.
1--WE cannot give Europe blank
check" is the way Mr.. Hughes quail
fies his adherence to the New Haven
suggestion.
The Hughes messages to the Ameri-
can embassies abroad, it was stated
here positively do not constitute new
proposal to the European governments
with view to bringing order out of
chaos. On the contrary, they are a
fiat reiteration of the policy consistent
ly followed by Harding and Hughes
for nearly year.
