A Good Washington


At this season of the year we
| think of George Washington, the
Father of our Country" who was
certainly real man. Now all Boy
Scouts are expecting to grow up to
be real men, so let us examine the
character of a truly great man and
see if he possessed the character
istics which the scout of today has.
A scout is kind. Was Washing
ton kind? Certainly he was. Did
he not bear the hardships along
with his men at Valley Forge when
all the world seemed to be against
them and they could not get enough
money to buy suitable clothes or
sufficient food? He was kind to his
men and bore the burdens right
with the men, not above them as
some generals have been known to
do. And while he was doing this
he plainly displayed another Boy
Scout trait, cheerfulness. A scout is
courteous. Washington was born of
old time Virginia gentry with whom
courtesy was law, and likewise their
son was courteous. A scout is
obedient. l wonder if you remem
ber about the time in Washington
life when he secured coveted po-

BEWARE OF POOR SEED CORN

H. H. Pickering, vocational agri-
culture instructor in Penn town
ship high school, sends to the Dem
ocrat a copy of a paper written by
Dale Newsome, one of the students
in the school. The paper, Prof
Pickering states, which is on the
prospective seed corn situation, is
the result of careful study and tests
made in the agriculture department
at Pennsville. The article by Mr.
Newsome follows:
( The boys in the vocational agri-
culture class at Penn township find
that much of the seed corn is test
ing very low this year. The Ohio
State University is running state
wide corn termination test. 1t is
probable that the cold and damp
ness early last fall killed the germ
OF the corn. From reports sent in to
/ the university, some sections of the
and other sections are testing very
low. This community is one that
seems to be low in test. Every
school in the state has been asked
to test corn, and we have made sew
eral rag doll tests. From these
tests that we made, I will show yor
/ the results we obtained.
Fourteen tests were made from
special selected seed picked out last
/ fall, loo grains in a test: First test

other tests showing respectively 81,

to note that those which tested 90@,

so it would thoroughly dry out BY

Five tests from corn in shock
We're made. The first test showed
that 1870 grew; the second As;
third, none; fourth II, and fifth,
none.
One test made from last years
seed corn terminated 1909. Corn
testing below 80 percent should not
be used for seed unless an indi-
vidual ear test is made. Many dol
lars will be lost if low test corn is
planted Notice how long most of
these tests we made did run. These
are most all too low for reliable
seed. Don't trust to luck or guess
about it. Test and make sure For

FARMER GIVES HIS VIEWS

Editor Democrat want you to
put my answer to the butter ques-
ton l read in your paper. That IS
stores and leave your money at
home, that is not the question. The
Independent stores collogue together;
they set their own price to give the
farmer as low as they can, but the
farmer has to give their price for
their stuff or let it alone. No won
der we farmers go to the chain
stores to buy our groceries, be-
cause we have to ship our eggs and
cream to New York or other cities,
to get enough profit to pay for our
feed AS long as we farmers have to
ship our produce, we have to buy
where we can buy the cheapest. We
farmers take a roll of home made
butter to our groceryman. He will
look it over as if it might be poison,
string and cut it in two to see if il
is not stale. Well" he will say,
I'VE can't handle it only for soap
grease We will give Is or 20 cents
pound for it, We farmers ask the
price of creamery butter 1t is so
or SIS cents a pound. Now we farm
ers sell our cream for say 40 or Al
cents a pound.
/ don't know what the price is
now. / am going by what it used to
be. Now can we afford to buy
creamery butter at the price it is
between the price of cream and
creamery butter? No there is too
much difference. Now 1 can tell you
the reason about butter piling up on
the market. The city people are
consuming more oleo--ten to one;
more than the farmer, because city
people are out of work, no money
to buy creamery butter at big
price Most of us farmers make our
own butter, because We know it IS
clean. When we buy oleo or cream
cry buttery, we don't know every
body's-Tom, Dick and Harry mix
ed together.
NOW uou jump ou the idl utl,
for he has a hard enough time. All
other classes of people are organized
but the farmer; he has to take what
the Independent merchant sees fiji TO
give. No wonder we are driven to
the chain stores. Sears Roebuck.
Take wool for instance Our local
buyers will wait till the farmers
tax paying time has come, then they
will get in autos and start out with
little mean price, thinking wei
they VIII have to sell because they
need the money to pay their taxes.
SO there we are, either sell it or
pool 1T. Ii we pool it, there are
enough middle men in the pool club
to take all the profit, SO where are
you there? The farmer is down and
out. So Nj. City Man, | have made
up my mind to ship my cream and
eggs to better market, and buy
where l please. / am farmer
