Mind Keenest at 8 A. M. Tests WitS
Students Show 4n,

Tests performed on 112 college stu
dents by Dr. Donald Laird Of Colgate
University, indicate that the average
mind does it's best work at s o'clock
in the morning and it's poorest atF4
o'clock in the afternoon, so reports
Popular Mechanics.
. Wednesday is the best day Of the
week for keen mental accomplish
ment, and Saturday the worst.
Nine different tests were devised, in
cluding problems in addition and
subtraction, memory exercises and
a. psychological question, such as;
What is wrong with this room?" q
The students had been given previ-
Gus examinations which showed that
their intelligence was about equal.
and were divided into squads of 16
each.
For six weeks they were put
through the trials at and 10 o'clock
in the morning, 1 and o'clock in the
afternoon, and 8, 9 and 10 p. m.
So that they would not make spe-
cial efforts on particular days and
thus destroy the value of the tests,
they were kept in the dark as to
the real purpose of the experiments.
Wednesday stood first in five Of the
nine trials. with Tuesday second.

Japanese Botanist Finds Why Seeds
Take 200-Year Loaf

What happens to efficiency during
the summer when somebody is
always on leave isn't a patch to
what happens to agricultural eff
cheney when seeds, bought, sown
and cultivated at great expense of
money and labor, take a vacation and
won't grow.
The scientists talk about the rest
period of seeds and its economic
significance, about what puts seed
to sleep and what wakes it up, or
makes it germinate. 1t is "hard-coat-
edness" in seeds, it seems, that cores
ponds to hard -headedness in man, and
makes them improbable members of
plant society from the farmers, point
of view, though Nature encourages
seeds to ''lie low and come to life
over a long period of time. This is
to make sure that there is always a
reserve supply stored away in the
earth.
Tucked away in one of the labora-
tories at the Boyce Thompson In
stitute for Plant Research in Yonk-
ers, n. Y, is one of the leading
Japanese botanists Of the day. Ohga,
the Japanese botanist, is making a
special study Of the longevity of the
seeds of. the East Indian lotus which
he obtained from the Manchurian
plains under conditions indicating
that they are from 200 to 800 years
old.
What has kept them from grow
ing? And how comes it that they
can be made to grow now? For
these centenarians several times
over are showing more vigor than
young, fresh seeds. Why?
These seeds have lain two or three
feet below the surface, buried in
peat, for centuries without showing
any signs of life, protected from

moisture by their hard coats. File
away these coats, give them water.
and they swell and grow. Every one
of Ohga's ancient seeds so treated
has proved to be vigorously alive.
These curiosity plants have very
practical message, however, for the
United States farmer. They are an
object lesson, for such everyday.
necessary food and forage plants as
the clover, alfalfas,s beans and peas
are hard-coated, too. They have an
inconvenient way of going to sleep
in the soil,j and coming to life only
10 or Is per cent of them at a time,
spreading out their life for so years
or more. which is obviously hard on
the waiting farmer. Sweet clover Is
worse than red, but the milk in the
cocoanut is this: Crack the seed well
in threshing or hulling, so that the
water can do its work, and you will
get a good stand in one year instead
