POOR SEED SOURCE OF
MANY FARM TROUBLES
Tests of Purity and termination May
Save Farmer Money

Know what you are sowing, advises
Leonard Hegnauer, extension specialist
iii crops and soils, "for the truth still
stands that whatever you SOW, that
shall you also reap. Care taken now in
selecting the seed and in preparing it
for planting will be well worth while"
Poor seed is The source Of many trou-
bles for the farmer. Weeds porr
stand and mixtures are several that
may be assigned to this cause. Weed
seeds are small and often escape notice.
Once established in a field they require
an expenditure of much time and
money to remove them.
To be sure that your seed is all that
you think 1T, Mr.. Hegnauer advises
that sample of it be sent to the Seed
Laboratory of the State College where
termination and purity test will be
made free OF charge. This test will
show what may be expected OF this
particular lot of seed if planted.
Seed mixtures also cause large los
SEES for the farmer. Mixtures may be
due to poor stock or to carelessness
In cleaning. Where tanning mill
is used for more than one variety of
seed, mixtures are very likely to occur
unless the mill is thoroughly cleaned
between arh operation. If the original
seed stock is mixed. II will be more
profitable to use 1t for fed or discard
1t altogether than to SOW 1t and hope
for good returns. Pure seed is the best
bet the farmer can make on his crop
A poor stand may result from either
too many weeds or poor seed Most
weds are capable OF gaining a quick
mold in the soil and are lively COM
petitors for the moisture and plant
food that is available. Seed OF low
terminating quality and cracked seds
are another reason for poor stand.
"A test made at home between wet
plotting paper or cotton will give the
percentage of termination that may
be expected from the seed that you
expect to use.

DID YOU EVER STOP
TO THINK
BY Edison H. Waite


Charles "A, stauffer, publisher of the
Phoenix Arizona) Republican, says:
That the newspaper is the one out
standing dynamic factor in community
building today. Through suggestion,
persuasion and direction, the news
paper is able to lead the town or city
in which it is read into fields of broad
err economic scope and value.
The dag of the blatant ballyhoo, the
Our town is the best town in the
world" braggadocio, is long past. 1t is
wonder that it endured so long in the
american scene, for it failed entirely
in its purpose from the outset. Today
the discerning newspaper that would
be helpful points cut, calmly and with
the backing of logic and figures, COM
munity needs. 1t points to the chan
nels for community development. 1t is
Influential in obtaining new industries,
new citizens, new money 1t helps to
conserve the money already available.
An example is the Buy at Home"
movements which have been prosecut-
ed With varying enthusiasm and vary
ing degrees of success in many COM
munities. Maintenance of a balance of
trade is as important to the individual
community as it is to the ration. Only
by trading at home to large extent
can the citizens of a community re-
tain that balance.
To prosecute successfully such q
doctrine and to maintain disposition
as a community leader itself must be
as vigorous as the policies it fathers.
Lack of editorial strength will on the
instant sap directional strength.
And lack of advertising vigor will
take strength from any place to retain
community funds for community pro-
jects. Every individual requires a
specific number OF products, a given
amount of goods, certain supply Of
clothing each year. So advertising
conscious" has the reader of today be-
come that he will buy wherever ad-
vantages are offered, at home or afield
Vigorous advertising within the COM
munity is necessary if its markets are
to retain parity with other markets.
Co-ordinating editorial vigor and
| advertising strength, the newspaper
becomes the outstanding factor in
development of any community.

II You Have a Cold

stuff cold and starve fever"
This adage Is perhaps all to well
known and followed, but like many
such "hand-me- downs" 1t needs re-
vision. Colds are often contracted be-
cause of WEAKNESS or exhaustion and
are frequently accompanied by con-
stipation. Therefore, the best diet is
n light laxative--one OF low food val
ue-lemonade, orangende, thot or
cold) soups mild stewed fruits and
vegetables. After the cold is broken
is the time to increase the fuel value.
AS quickly as possible bring IL up to
the regular standard Perhaps II will
be wise to make 1t even higher than
usual. Cream butter and bacon will
add largely to the fuel value but n
liberal amount OF milk, eggs, fruit and
vegetables must not be forgotten.

TOOTH DEFECTS PREvENTABLE

prepared under the direction of the
Executive Committee, Public Health
League of Washington.)
If parents could realize how much a
child's future health depends upon the
mouth, our colleges could not supply
the demand for childrens dentists.
If discolored or stained teeth are
neglected, soon decay will start. AS
the decay progresses, the teeth will be-
come sensitive, the child will not
masticate his food properly, because it
hurts to do so, and the food will be
swallowed before prepared for digest
ion. y
Soon decay will encroach upon the
pulp. Toothache will ensue. and per-
haps an abscess from infection is
either distributed by the blood stream
through the body Or drained into the
mouth and swallowed. This slow pois-
on premeates the entire system.
Consider also the question of de-
formity. II these first teth are lost be-
fore the permanent ones erupt, the
spaces will close up, caused by UNDER
development of the bony tissue, due
to the loss Of nourishnent which
should be supplied by the blood and
nerve tissue that are destroyed with the
loss OF that tooth. The permanent
tooth will net have room to erupt
where it should, and malforned jaw
bones with irregular, Insightly teeth
will result.
Three simple rules should be followed
closely by parents who have the well
fare of their children at heart:
l. Feed your children good nourish-
ing foods that require lots Of mastica-
ton, as exercise develops the jaw
bones.
2. See that the child,s teeth are
kept clean.
g. Consult your dentist regularly
that he may early remedy decay
And remember that neglect of the
chiid's teeth means neglecting the
gateway to his entire future.

one-Dish Meals Save Time

The one-dish meal is very conven-
lent for the busy housewife. An ap-
petizing and adequate dinner may con-
sist only of meat and vegetable stew,
bread and butter, milk, and baked
custard or fruit dessert. Into tile
stew go meat, potatoes, carrots, on
ions and possibly celery.
Another one-dish meal may be based
on vegetable soup containing meat,
cabbage, carrots, onions, tomatoes,
and corn. Pot-roast with meat, po-
tatoes, carrots, turnips and whole
onions, is another possibility.

Saint Mary's on September 81 has not

opinion that one is just about as good
as the other. Both are fuhctioning with
