reat Seed to
Increase Yield

prevent losses which their presence
might otherwise cause. Even many
high-yielding strains of corn through
out the corn belt, thought to be
healthy, frequently carry an appre-
ciable amount of infection with GER
tain fungous parasites Such seed
may result in poor stand, in blighted
plants, or in plants that fail to grow
and yield normally.
Yield of Diseased Seed.
At the Illinois station, seed that
was known to be diseased gave a
yield of 47.5 bushels per acre when
untreated, and when treated gave a
yield of 59.5 bushels, or an increase
of IL bushels to the acre. At the
same station, seed that was pro-
nounced good made yield of 63.2
bushels without treatment but when
treated yielded 65.1 bushels or an I'm
crease of 10 bushels per acre.
The fact that corn from diseased
seed was benefited by seed treatment
should not be taken as an argument
in favor of inferior seed, says the de-
partment. Rather. 1t shows the i'm.
portance of treating inferior seed
when such seed has to be used. in or
der to secure as high yields as pos
sible.
The low cost, says Doctor Johnson,
and the ease of application should
make seed treatment appeal to al!
corn growers in the central portion of
the corn belt, where its beneficial eff.
fects have been proved.

Roman Relics in England

One thousand eight hundred years
ago Roman women suffered from
infirmities of the feet. Evidence of
this has just been found at Foun-
ders court, Lothbury, London, where
excavations for new building are
being carried on. The sole of a
woman's leather shoe, in which the
mark of a corn at the base of the
little toe can clearly be seen, was
discovered. A few remains of Roman
glass of the most exquisite coloring
and patterns were found on the same
spot.

tuberculosis Testing
and Killing of Reactors

Evidence that tuberculosis testing
and slaughter of reacting animals is
having an important effect on the
health of cattle generally In this coun-
try is found in animals slaughtered
under federal inspection. In 1917 the
average, exclusive of reactors. was "a
per cent. In 1927, after ten years OF
testing and killing of reacting animals,
the proportion detected by the meat
inspectors had been reduced to only
IL per cent, indicating that in the
cattle shipped for slaughter there is
less than half as much tuberculosis as
there was ten years ago.

If some concessions may be made to

effort to building new team for the

We can do both this year." Mr.. COL
