DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1918.

Mr. and Mrs, A. R. Morton an<U babe, of Evanston, 111., arrived here Sunday for a visit with Mrs. Morton’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. A, Dugan and others. Don’t miss Virginia Pearson in her latest William Fox protoplay, “Stolen Honor," which has its showing at the Crystal theatre tonight. This play is a beauty. It has to recommend it a beautiful star, a thrilling story, pretty scenes and sets. It is one of tihe best Miss Pearson has been seen in and has done some very clever screen work. The story has to do with a stolen painting. This is used as a pretext for dishonoring Virginia Lake, the role Miss Pearson plays. The reason is that another woman is in love with the man who admires Virginia I.ake, who is the daughter of wealthy parents and who is a paint er of note. She makes a copy of a painting hung in the Corpora Art Gallery and the jealous woman declares Miss Lake has substituted the copy for the original. Miss Lake's position is made difficult because on the night of the theft, she hurries to New York to save her married girl friend who is eloping with another man. if she tells where she was on the night the picture disappeared, her friend suffers. If she doesn’t prison awaits her. o SELECT YOUR SEED CORN NOW The 1918 seed corn shortage may be easily prevented for the 1919 crop by each farmer taking the necessary precautions to prevent such a famine. Farmers of Adams county are being , urged to select their seed corn now , and store it properly. A sufficient quantity should be selected to insure ample seed for the 1919 crop, (in many sections farmers are selecting a quantity sufficient for two years planting as a precautionary measure.) Proper Method of Selection Farmers are urged to select their seed corn from the standing stalk as nearly as possible. Selection in this manner enables the farmer to obtain uniform ears from desirable stalks. Neither the largest or smallest ears should be selected and only those true to type and from early maturing stalks of desirable size having no sucker stalks. Many farmers have followed this proceedure for many years and the api>earance. uniformity and high yields which have been obtained jjre conclusive evidence in favor of this practice. It may be necessary to choose ears which are not quite mature, but this may be safelydone if the ears are properly cared for. Immature ears may not appealvery desirable but if they are handled properly (cured with heat and molds are prevented) a large germination percentage may be obtained. Proper Storage. There are a few controlling influences which should always be understood in caring for seed corn: 1. The ears should be picked leforce frost even if the ears have not fully matured. A severe freeze at this time may seriously injure the germination of ears if they remain on the stalk at that time. Light frosts do not as a rule injure the corn on the stalk very much, but the uncertainty of our weather conditions necessitate each farmer taking file proper precautions to prevent any possibility of the corn being materially injured by a severe freeze. 2. Each ear should be hung up separately or placed on a drying rack as soon as it is picked. Each ear should be kept separate from its neighbor on the rack or while hanging up as this method provides sufficient means for the proper circulation of air. prevents the accumulation of molds and aids very materially in drying the ears out quickly. (Curing seed coni by hanging it on ( the south side of a building is not an approved practice.) 3. The seed ears selected must oe stored where ample ventilation facilities exist. 4. It is advisable to store seed corn where it may be kept dry and warm, especially is this true during cold rainy seasons as a severe freeze at this time may prove serious. If large quantities are stored more than 15 or 20 bushels, a stove should be provided and the seed cord dried by heat accompanied by good ventilation. Avoid piling up seed corn, as this prevents proper drying and ventilating facilities. It is very imi>ortant that seed corn be dried out quickly since the practice stimulates a higher germination i>ercentage and materially lessens the chance of the severe freeze, which may come early in tlie season, from injuring the corn. When small amounts are to be cured, they may be hung in an attic free from dampness and where warmth and ventilation are both sufficient. Seed corn selection is of prime importance at. this season of the year and each farmer should take the necessary precautions to prevent an occurance of a seed corn shortage for our 1919 crop of corn. J. R. MEEKS, County Agricultural Agent.

SILK HATS AND SUGAR BOWLS. | Tiiey say that you can find out I where the rabbit really goes if you ,' keep your eyes on the magician's hand Instead of his; face. I don't . i know. I never can stop watching that dazzling smile, and the rabbit disappears while I’m not looking. Recently my sugar has developed ’ a rabbit-like tendency to vanish. I examined the bowl carefully for a leak, but it was like the silk hat of the state —not a hole could be found. Still that snowy heap would trickle out somehow. Undoubtedly it was a trick bowl. The sugar didn't leak out, and no one meant to take more than his share. Yet here it was Friday, with two days to go before we were supposed to have used up that sugar, and the bottom of the bowl was already in sight. I determined to find out where the sugar went. So for two weeks the family played detective, with a password of "keep your eye on the bowl." If I put sugar on my cereal that was noticed and considered as part of my sugar allowance for the day. If. engrossed in conversation. 1 put an extra spoonful into my coffee it was checked up against me. That noticing the idea in fact took the trick. Watch the sugar bowl instead of your dish. Remember the other fellow instead of your own coffee cup, and the sugar dosu’t disappear. Since watching that bowl. I'm rath-i er inclined to believe that the magicians don't have false bottoms in their hats. Anyhow, when the next sleight-of-hand artist comes to town, I I'm going to see if I can be as sue.- 1 cessful in finding out what he does! with that rabbit as I was finding out j how my sugar disappeared. |
