Pradisnosition in France.

The trend Of medical opinion in
France. as we were about to say when
thew blew the whistle on us the
other day, is different from the
American medical view of the predis-
position to tuberculosis. In America
we take little stock in the idea OF q
special predisposition, temperament,
constitution or tendency, and fayor
instead the belief that more than ~
per cent of adults harbor latent
tuberculosis and just an occasional
individual develops active tubercu-
losis as consequence OF his I'M
hygienic mode of life. In France
thew cling to tradition and the
French medical view is well shown
IN an article by DIR. Nigoul-F
IN lie Bulletin Medical, on the petty
signs OF tuberculosis.
AS understand 1t, this French
writer would have US believe that q
skillful diagnostician may recognize
signs of even the latent tuberculosis
which. as / have just said, more
than 80 per cent of all adults In this
country have. The very name OF Ia
tent tuberculosis signifies that It IS
inst a sinouldering focus and that
il produces no signs or symptoms.
So we think in this country. Not so

The First Morning.

In the days that followed. Leila
realized To the full what II meant to
have to endure mental position.
Not that her duties were very diff
cult. but the Kingsleys whom in the
old days she might have met as So
Sciai equals, treated her to various
degrees Of cDndescension, and 1t made
her rebellions. For the frst time in
her lifa she began to think OF such
things as social position. class con.
seriousness. Always before she had
accepted life without giving much
serious thought to It. Now she began
to wonder Ii ii were money that made
such 81 big difference and II the pos
session OF worldly wealth were the
only thing that counted.
She had discovered that Mona was
d creature OF whiIms and fancies and
very badly spoiled. When she was
In bad temper she snapped at
Leila viciously and made things as
dinacuIt DO she could. Other times
she was hooking and gay. Leila was
more afraid of her mocking mood
than she was Of her temper. 1t was
an though Mona realized that the girl
possessed culture and breeding, but
because Of her position was entirely
helpless. She loved to say things
girls face, she loved to twit her on
her beauty and to call attention to
it when some one else was present.
On the first morning Leila had
eaten her breakfaN at 8 o'clock in a
corner OF the big sunny kitchen. The
night before when she had eaten
there both Ingeborg and Marie had
looked at her, wondering, perhaps,
what her manner toward them would
BE-, alert and on the defensive lest
she give herself airs" 1t was an
ordeal to Leila, and she was afraid,
which gave her an appearance OF
sInyness. Then, too, she did not know
what to say or how to say 1t. She
was uncertain about everything. and
vet she wanted to be friendly. She
was not snob, although her bring
ing up might easily have made her
one. And so she had been very quiet.
speaking only I'm monosyilables. but
the next morning at breakfast there
was less restraint. Ingeborg was
won over by the girls beauty, and
Marie, . pIeasant-faeed girl OF about
rs. showed willingness to be
friendly
After breakfast there was nothing
for her to do but wait until Mona
summoned her, which woiild prob.
ably b about 1890. To reach her
own room 1t was necessary to pass
through the dining room. and as she
opened the door she saw that Richard
Kingsley was having breakfast alone.
At the side table Kuwa was pouring
coffee, and as she passed his table
Richard looked up at her.
She was conscious of those piercing

how breeding Of dairy cattle should
take place SO as to have a reason
aole assurance Of high production in
the offspring. The experiment
makes clear the fact that milk pro-
duction Is transmitted by both the
sire and dam to their daughters and
that this transmission is equal in
the sense that both contribute. The
mating of high producing animals
together tend to beget high produc-
ing offspring. The mating Of a
high producing parent to low pro-
ducing parent tends to beget
daughter whose production is in be-
tween that Of the high parent and
that Of the low parent but re-
sembles most closely that Of the
two low producing animals tends to
beget animals Of low production.
The Problem
It rs now of the greatest import
ance to determine the production
Of the offspring from these classes
Of high and low production. This
is being done at Highmoor Farm at
the present time. About 80 head
have already been tested and their
future looks bright for the solution
of this important dairy cattle prob
lem.
The study Of the, inheritance Of
butterfat percentage as it is found
in the milk of these cows shows
quite similar results to those In
dicated for the first crosses of high
and low milk yield. 1t is now pos
sible to predict with fair certainty
what the offspring will produce
when they come from parents of
known ancestry for milk production
or butterfat percentage.
Full Sisters Predicts Yield Best
Closely associated with these
carefully controlled experiments
have been studies Of the production
records of Jersey. Guernsey, and
Holstein- Friesian cattle. The re-
suits from these studies agree in
showing the following facts. The
records of a full sister predicts the
milk yield or butterfat percentage
of her own full sister more closely
than does that of any other animal
The dams are next in Importance.
| The record of a half sister or a
grandparent is of about equal i'm
portance. The records of cousins or
aunts are of still less value IN show
| ing the probable productivity of the
cows. It Is thus important in con-
structive breeding to take into con-
sideration first the record Of the
bulls progeny, second, the record of
| his dam: third, the weighing to q
still less degree the record of his
sire's daughters or the bulls own
half sisters. The significant records
| for the COW are in order OF their I'M
portance, first her own sisters rec
ords; second, the record Of her
dam: third, the record of her half
| sisters: fourth. the record of her
| granddam: fifth. the record Of her
aunt: sixth. the record of her cous-
| in. Production records Of ancestors
! further removed have but little sig
| nificance in indicating what the
cows probable productive capacity
will be. FROM these facts It is OBJ
viously much easier to select cows
which are high producers than it is

"The Farm Bureaus of Maine. with
a total membership Of nearly $4,000
of the most substantial rural men
and women, reaching into over $50
of our communities, are a mighty
power for better homes and a more
prosperous and contented rural
population" says Edgar B. Lord,
President of the Maine State FEEDER
alton Of Farm Bureaus.
Mr.. Lord who operates an extern
siye farm in west Lebanon has long
been an enthusiastic Farm Bureau
member and generous with his time
in promoting extension work. He is
an eX-president of the York County
Farm Bureau and is now serving
his second term as president Of the
federation. Each of the fourteen
Farm Bureaus in this State hold
membership in the Maine State
Federation Of Farm Bureaus which
represents the voice of the entire
membership of nearly $4,000 men
and women.
Maine is an agricultural state.
Our commonwealth will prosper
largely if not wholly as our agri-
culture prospers. We must build

future, always aiming to raise our
standards of product and service.
The Farm Bureaus and Extension
Service are working to build a bet
ter and more profitable agriculture,
establish community ideals and be
of assistance to our rural boys and
girls. These factors must have a
definite. and we believe very
favorable, effect upon the destiny Of
Maine"
sIn less than 10 years, Maine
farmers generally have come to ap-
preciate the value of using improved
potato seed entirely as a result of
extension activities. This improved
seed has in late years shown yield
per acre of many bushels over COM
mon seed. How fortunate it was in
1925 that at least 5000 of the entire
$4,000 acres of potatoes grown in
Maine was planted with improved
seed.
1.-The Better Bull Campaign which
is just getting underway is meeting
with the approval and cooperation
OF farmers and business men
throughout the state. This project
too bids fair to be another milestone
in the progress of Maine agriculture.

New Variety Of Sweet Corn
Inc older methods of corn breed
ing nave not been very effective in
increasing yield in either field or
sweet corn. but the more modern
methods Of corn breeding have been
used with good results. Crosby corn
mas been self pollinated for several
years until 1t is very uniform. An
other variety was developed from a
cross OF Black Mexican and Golden
Bantam called White Bantam.
crosses between the inbred Crosby
ana White Bantam have yielded
ABOUT 20 per cent more than the
pest commercial Crosby for the last
three years. This new hybrid Is
now being tested on a commercial
scale at Highmoor and appears to be
almost so per cent more productive
than the corn obtained from the
local factory. Crossing experiments
are now being done on a commercial
scale so that some seed can be dis
tributedto some of the factories
next year for more extensive test.
Fertilizer For Sweet Corn
Considerable work is being done
with fertilizers for sweet corn,
SiXty-four different fertilizer com
binations are used. There are diff
ferences in yield but no conclusions
can be drawn until results have
been obtained for several wears.
