who for three years has been living at

eighteen years ago to become super
intendent Of the New Mexico Institute

grow under his management from a
small institute to one of the most i'm
portant in the south west and the es-
TEEN in which he was held was at
tested to by men of all walks of life
at his funeral last Wednesday which
was one of the largest held in that
city recently. He never forgot Della
ware, however, and a touching Incl
dent of his life was that he wrote to
his mother at Clayton regularly and
constantly until she died a year or
more ago. The time taken from bus
mess to say nothing Of the expense
for one to leave home almost on the
Mexican border to visit Delaware
meant much OF no doubt Mr.. Pratt
would have been 'home" more fre-
quently but the devotion to his moth
Ell and his love for his home state ever
fingered with him. He was promin-
ent in many enterprises at AlamogOr-
da however, and was making sue
cess Of life. He is survived by his
widow who was Miss Ruth Woodbury.

TERMINATION OF CORN is Low
Tests Made at State Laboratory Show
Seed is Not Good For Planting

Seed is Not Good For Planting
termination tests of field corn thus
far made at the State Laboratory this
spring indicate that a considerable
portion of the corn raised in Delaware
last year is not of good quality for
seeding. The termination of most of
the samples thus far tested is consid-
erably lower than usual. 1t is sug-
gested that before planting, the grow
ers of the state have their corn test
ed. A testing laboratory is main
tanned at Dover by the State Board
Of Agriculture, where work Of this
kind is carried on free of charge for
the citizens of the state. Samples
sent for testing should consist of at
least half pound, and care should be
taken that the sample thoroughly and
fairly represents the lot from which
it is taken.
