SEED CORN OF
INDIANA WEAK,
TESTS REVEAL
Report on Condition Is
Made by Botanist at
Purdue u.

Times Special
LAFAYETTE, Feb. 7.-Seed corn
which will be used to plant Indi-
ana's four million or more acres of
corn this spring shows a relatively
high percentage of weakness, ac-
cording to DR.. G. T. Gregory of the
botany staff of Purdue Agricultural
Extension Department.
DR.. Gregory recently completed
tests on corn sent to him by 254
farmers in IA counties. The rag
doll method was used to show GER.
niination, moldy seed, weak seed
and seed affected with diplodia or
corn root rot.
With this method, corn from
numbered ears is placed on a large
cloth with numbered squares. Pa
pers then are placed over the corn
and the whole thing rolled and
dampened. After a prescribed
length of time the bundle is opened
for analyzation.
Results of Test
The tests made show the follow
ing results: 92.4 per cent germina-
ton; 44.3 per cent moldy seed; IT'S
per cent weak seed, and 3.3 per cent
affected with root rot.
For a good crop the latter three
should show but small percentages,
according to DR.. Gregory.
"It is evident" DR.. Gregory points
out, that the lateness of planting
last spring and the early freezes in
the fall injured about one ear in
five. Zero weather in December,
when the corn till contained con-
siderable moisture, also caused
further damage. In one of the
samples tested, which was from
field selected and rack dried seed,
nearly all of the kernels were dead"
Gives Hints on Seed
Some suggestions offered by DR..
04CSOAy W dOCu1C SOOo oCCO dlCs
1. Examine the butt tissues of the
ear and discard every ear that
shows dull brown, pink or
rotted appearance. A shredded
condition also is bad; a clean, white
break is desirable.
2. The healthy ear will be heavy
and have a bright color. The dam
aged ear will be dull and faded and
often will be loose and twisty in the
hands.
8. Before accepting any ear pull
out at least eight kernels from the
butt to the tip. These kernels should
be filled with the hard, well-ma-
tured starch from tip to cap.
4. Kernels that are not mature
will have soft, starchy, pinched tips
or may show the starcIy condition
throughout the greater part of the
kernel.
After the seed corn has been
culled carefully in this way, farmers
are urged by DR.. Gregory to make
rag doll test of at least 40 ears taken
at random.

Ndob dI my dolOt.
Back In 1929 there were about
100000 unemployed. This means
that to get back to where we were
in 1929, we have got to find jobs
for from 3,200,0 to 9,000,0 900 people.
Meantime the number of people
who are candidates for work is in
creasing each year. We have from
100000 to 100000 more workers
now than we had in 1929 when we
began throwing people out of work.
A LSO, we are improving our
n machine processes-which we
should do. But this adds another
factor to the problem of unem-
ployment. The National Indus
trial Conference Board-a very con-
servative Research organization
says we will never be able to re-
absorb our unemployed masses COM
pletely.
What, then, are we going to do
about them? No candidate can af-
ford to ignore that challenge.
1t will not do for him to say he
favors social security. That will
not provide for the unemployed.
It may make some provisions, very
meager, for these who are past 65
And it may afford relief to work.
ers who have employment and lose
It for few Northumberland
insurance between jobs.
But what of the four or five
million workers who, far as we
can see now, are not going to
have Jobs? What provision is to
be made tor them? How are we
going to save these people from
the disintegration due to unpro-
ductive idleneSs? How are we
going to prevent them from be-
coming a sIllen, threatening, undi-
gested bolus in the social body.
THIS is not problem Of tomor-
Il row. 1t is here. 1t has been
with us for some years. But we
have preferred to pretend that it is
just a fleeting embarrassment
which will presently pass with good
times. We have all had plenty of
time to think about it.
Yet not only all of the announced
candidates so far, but the President
himself, have offered no proposal
for facing this great human fact.
1t is this problem which is at the
bottom of all the others. All the
pother about the Constitution, the
Supreme Court, the money muddle,
government spending - all stems
from the impact of this grave de-
pressive force upon our society.
Yet all candidates ignore it.
Business men say: Let us alone,
stop government interference and
business will go forward and put
men to work. Perhaps. 1t may put
millions to work. But there are
four or five million it will not put
to work And what do the candi-
dates of business propose to do
about these four or five million?
The voters are going to want to
know.

 Foreign Minister Flandin an- nounced that he will take a warning of withdrawal from the League with him when he goes to London to- morrow for Locarno Treaty sigma tories conference. Flandin also an- nounced he is prepared to tell Brit ain Foreign Minister Capt. Anthony Eden that France is not alone in the stand against Rhineland occupation. This follows a statement received here from Moscow that the Soviet Union has declared Germany has violated all right for consideration by her renunciation of the Locarno treaty and by armed reoccupation of the Rhine section. There are other signatories who are against Ger many and this may be brought out at the London conference, other French officials state.

 An authoritative French spokes- man said.
 We know war is coming in two years any how and we might as well have it now while we are prepared. It is the only way that will drive Hitler's troops and force them to leave the Rhineland A stitch in time saves nine.
 The time has come when this nation refuses to be humiliated in front of the world. Our honor is at stake and we are ready to draw the sword, if necessary, and keep our honor unsullied."
