SPRING SEED CORN
TEST ONLY SAFE WAY
CONTINUED Next Week.

Many farmers will be surprised to
learn that the termination tests made
on corn last fall and winter cannot
be depended on to indicate the germ
nation of the same seed now. This
has been pointed out by several farm
ers who have run recent tests. The
reason for this is because there was
considerable moisture in the corn
last fall which cause the germ to
kill as the winter proceeds. A large
number of seed corn growers, as a
result of recent tests, have been COM
PEELED to feed hundreds of bushels
of corr that they anticipated sell
ling for seed, due to this winter
termination killing process.
Corn Planting Next Week
Corn planting days do not come
for another week and it would be a
paying proposition for every farmer
who ran early tests on corn, or who
has purchased seed corn regardless
of guarantee, to run a check test on
his seed corn before planting. 1t
undoubtedly will be found that there
will be hundreds of bushels that are
not fit for seed and there is no doubt
but what this testing will ave a
large amount of labor, perhaps the
loss of the corn crop in a number of
instances. If you did not see the
termination test run on your seed
corr this spring, you are not safe IN
planting corn without testing, this
year especially.-D. B. Noble, Coun-
ty Agent.

Brena looked out of the car window
at the flashes of green and gray OF
farms and farm buildings as If h
were searching In her memory for q
Photographic impress. Then suddenly,
with the quick precision that gave her
hand and mind. so many undeveloped
talents, she outlined a strange figure
ON paper.
Parmalee snatched it eagerly and
stared; he saw a figure, half snake
and half bird.

sounded muffled. We'll, do you know

EXHAUSTED FISH COME
TO TOP IN UTAH RIVER
Fishermen Wade Into Muddy
Waters and Make Big Catches
With Bare Hands.

An ideal stream for the lazy or
impatient fisherman, who Graves nour-
ishment rather than the thrill of the
catch. has been discovered by Interior
Department engineers in the mac
cessible, turbid San Juan River, one
of the main tributaries OF the
Colorado in Utah
The swiftly flowing San Juan, called
Pawhuska (mad water) by the Navajo
Indians who live nearby, never gets
clean and sometimes it carries three
times as much silt as water. At times
the river runs with a smooth, oily
movement like that of molten metal,
so red and viscous is it with silt. At
such times the fish become exhausted
and founder on the surface. their
dorsal fms projecting into the air.
Then the fisherman needs only to arm
himself with club and wade
cautiously into the mud to catch a
fish with bare hands after he has
stunned 1t with a blow.
