STATE HAS FINE SEED CORN
Tests Made Have Shown the Charac-
ter of This Crop to be Good

Tests made of Delaware field corn
which is to be offered for sale as seed
corn, made at the State laboratory,
have disclosed the splendid character
of corn grown in this State according
to seven samples that have been test
ed for their terminating qualities.
Two of the seven samples showed
termination of 100 per cent which is
the best that any corn could produce
The lowest of the seven showed ger
minating qualities of 95 per cent and
the average for the seven samples
was 98.7. With such a record it is not
likely that farmers who have seed
corn to sell will have much difficulty
in getting rid Of their corn.
The market for seed corn this year.
is going to be good. Reports from
Western States show that the crop
has fallen short and the farmers are
in the field for corn for planting. But
the point on which they demand to
know the why's and wherefores is its
terminating qualities. For that rea-
son the corn must be tested and prov
en- to be of good bearing variety be-
fore it will sell.
Russell f. Wilson Of the University
of Delaware Extension Department al
Dover, is collecting samples of seed
corn from those farmers who have il
to sell and will have the corn tested
at the University laboratories at New
ark. w. T. Derrickson, of the Bureau
of Markets, is aiding thes farmers tC
dispose of their seed corn. Accord
ing to Mr.. Derrickson, the available
supply of seed corn in this State
ranges from 200 to 1000 bushels
Most of it however is in small
amounts.
The market for seed corn while un
usual this year may prove to be an
other good paying detail of the Della
ware farmer, if he can produce sucl
corn as the tests at the State labor
atOry show. Last year there wer
many farmers who sold seed corn i
the spring, but this year, owing to tn
scarcity in the West, the sales ar
likely to be heavier.

Madagascar Once Home
of Enormous Reptiles

1t is a singular fact that, barring the
wild cattle and the crOcodiles, the
great African island (Madagascar) is
wholly destitute of big game. Yet it
teens with animal life in its lesser
forms, including such curious animals
as the aye-aye, one of the most re-
markable creatures known; 80 vari-
cites of lemurs; a ferOciOus member
Of the civet family, which looks like
an enormous weasel; and a wild dog
which appears to be a cross between
a coyote, a jackal and a dingO.
But Madagascar has not always
lacked large animals, as its fossil re
mains attest, for in ages past it was
the habitat of enormous terrestrial
lizards 80 feet in length, and of the
great wingless bird, the aepyOrnis,
twice the size of an ostrich.
The eggs of the aepyOrnis, some of
which are 40 inches in circumference,
are still frequently found in the neigh
bOrhoOd of Fort Dauphin, at the south
ern end of the island. where the ma
tives use them for carrying water.-E.

This Generation May See
Return to Knee Breeches

Men, it's just a little more than a
century ago since long trousers began
to come into fashion. Beau Brummel,
the celebrated English society leader,
had introduced them a few years be-
fore. His daring example had been
copied by the candles" of the day.
But most men held back, especially the
conservative substantial ones
They considered long trousers child
ism form of masquerade and were
afraid they would look ridiculous If
they abandoned knee-breeches.
Today It's the other way around.
After a century, the pendulum
swings and knee breeches are said to
be coming back. They are worn by
golfers. engineers and other men Of
the outdoors. and on camping trips
and hikes.
Judging by ease and comfort, a
great many men-if truth were known
would like to wear knee pants" all
the time.
Why not2 Alas, in their community
association men have acquired a
timidity and sense of shame in any
thing not conforming to the crowd.
Long trousers are "the CO.; and it's a

That Spirits Walk Earth
Is a Universal Belief

The belief that dead persons make
their temperance on the earth is ac-
cOrding to an author, universal among
all the ancient races.
The EskimOs say the spirit exhibits
the same form and shape as the body
It belonged to, but Of more subtle
and ethereal nature.
The Tonga islanders believe that
the human soul is the finer part of the
body, the essence that can pass out,
as does the fragrance from a flower
The Greenland seers describe the
spirit as pallid, soft and intangible.
Doctor Churchward knows some
people now living who possess the gift
Of seeing and communicating with
their departed friends, who never
leave them night or day. He says:
"But these good spirits cannot speak
so that one can hear them; they can
not make noises, nor can you take
photographs of them.
"Spirits are composed of pure cor
puscles in the likeness and form OF
their previous earthly state as hu
mans, only much more beautiful. They
cannot leave Paradise without divine
permission. Montreal Family Her
