INSURE YOUR CORN

Don’t Gamble With Your Corn Crop. Test Every Ear Before Planting. Every Weak or Dead Ear Means Dollars Less at Harvest, {Mltltaal Cr»» Sertrle*.] It Is a known fact that the simple little act of testing all seed corn before planting will add many bushels to the corh crbp and will pay the farmer about five times as much per hour for bls labor as will any other farm labor. There is pothihg hard about it, all tnethdds of testing steed corn are easy and inexpensive, You can test the kernels in blotters or "rag-doll” testers at home, making them yourself, or you can invest in, a commercial tester that will last for years. Your agricultural college, county agent, or the U. S. ‘ Department of Agriculture, at V. • .11 be glad to give you ■full particulars. Seed te.-ting will stop one of these leaks in farm practice that change gain Into Lx - Figure out for yourself how* many hills the six or seven huhdred kernels of com from a dead or weak ear will plant, and figure out how your corn, yield will drop if two or three, or a dozen, or maybe fifty such ears should get planted.

BY-PRODUCT STOCK FEEDS.

[tiaftonal Cr«p Imjzovefnent Servlet. 1 A lot oPwell-meaning folks think that just because certain materials are leftovers from the manufacture of food for humans, that it is “waste" and of no value- for . took feed. Nothing is further from the truth. In very many cases, the so-called "offal” left after the manufacture of flour, malting, corn products, breakfast foods, etc., are the best of stock feeds, and can be bought economically and fed to bring a profit to the farmer. The man who turns up his nose at the thought of combin'-r? by-products with silage and other low-priced meat producing foods, is behind the times and usually fails to show even interest on his money at the end of the-year. Feeding whole grain, whether it be corn, wheat, rye or oats, is wasteful and is robbing man of fils rightful prerogative —that of taking that part of all grain adapted to his needs. It is easy to find out the protein content of any article, of stock feedstuffs now on the market, and it is merely a matter of the farmer figuring out the worth ...of Ihfi. foods.. on.. ,th.eir...nQuris.hing then, to purchase that which Will give him the most economical feed. In practically all states, all feedstuffs must "be labeled with their food content —for those who wish to see, the facts are printed?

Fanning and Grading Seed Barley.

(National Crop Improvement Bervlc«.] Not nearly enough attention is given to gettffig the uniform size of seed grain, especially is this true in barley, where it is important that the germination should ajl take place on the same day. Therefore, the kernels should he of the same size and weight. The very largest should perhaps be removed as well as the smaller ones, leaving the seed plump and uniform. It is true that small seeds and giant seeds will germinate, but the plant food contained therein will undoubtedly make an unevenness in the maturity at harvest.

ROTATION LEASES.

[National Crop Improvement Service.] There is nothing which endangers America so much today as our very much abused farm tenant system. We ought to have something in every lease which will protect land and protect the people as well as posterity. Year to year tenants who scratch a little and move away, should be compelled to settle down and landlords should be be compelled to make a time rotation lease. It is easy to talk about compelling this and compelling that, but we mostly are a very sloppy people whose motto is “the easiest way is the best.” If we let our soil run down, our whole structure will fall. In order to obtain a larger yield of grain, this soil must be fed. The colleges and experiment stations beyoftd the Mississippi river are entire!y®4oo timid ; about preaching soil conservation. In fact, all of us are rather prone to tell our audience what we think they would rather hear,

KILL THE WEEDS.

[National Crop Improvement Service.] “Spring plowing, or disking, as soon as the weed seeds have germinated. Is usually a profitable practice. Where small grain is to be sown, the sowing should be done soon after plowing: but where corn, potatoes, or the sorghums are to be grown, there is often a period of several weeks between the time of the germination of the weed seeds and-the time when the season is sufficiently advanced to plant the crop. This period should be utilized as far as possible for the descruction of weeds before the crop is planted. Much labor in keeping the crop free from weeds during its growing period can thus be saved.”— E. C. Chilcott, agriculturist in charge, Washington, D. C.

LOSS FROM BAD ROADS.

[National Crop Improvement Service.] The U. S. Department of Agriculture estimates that the farmers of the nation are annually losing $250,000,000 because of their inability to market their produce at certain times of the year' Counties which are rich in agricultural products are burdened with bad roads and it 's of much concern to the farmers to see to the building of good roads. Good roads, 365-day roads, are Insurance for continued community -

Compromise With Stupidity.

The public mind is nearly always alow working. The deliberations of a body of men must usually wait upon the intelligence of its least intelligent member, and the final result of such deliberation will ordinarily be closer to the mentality of the stupidest member of the conference than that of the most intelligent. Intelligence must compromise with stupidity. The broadminded must compromise with the bigoted. Stupidity and bigotry are nearly always reflected in public opinion.— WlEiam Maxwell in Collier’s Weekly.

Standard Time.

Standard time is a uniform system of time reckoning, in the United States and Canada adopted in 1863 by the principal railways, and since then ! v rhe principal cities and towns of both countries. By (this system the continent is divided into four sections, each extending over 15 degrees of longitude (making a difference of time of exactly pne hour) the time prevailing it. each being that of its central meridian. • 'V-

Horses Wear Trousers.

When the horses in Nice, France, are hitched to tar-spreading carts they wear trousers to protect their legs from the hot tar. A further protection for them consists of a curtain suspended between the cart and the horse. The trousers are what lends distinction to the horse, however. The knees are a bit baggy but the horse doesn’t seem to care.

Unquestioned Authority.

“Look here, doctor,” roared the irate man who had just received a bill from tlfe physician, “on what do y6u base these enormous charges?” “On the best authority in the world,” calmly responded the doctor. “Doesn’t the Bible say: ‘All that a man hath will he give for his life?’ ”

A Little Strange.

Edgar, aged five, was driving from the station on his first visit to Maine. His mother,* noticing a troubled look on his face as he looked about, said, "What’s the matter, dear? Don’t you like the beautiful country?’ “Yes, mother, but on my map Maine is red!”

Dwarf Trees.

Dwarf trees are suited, to small gardens. They occupy little space, are easily cared for, bear sooner than standard kinds and they are easily shaped into bushes and pyramids oi can be used in espalier forms, trained on buildings, fences or trellises.

No More Fairy Tales.

“Now the giant had a wonderful musical instrument which would cry out if anybody tried to steal it.” “J don* j t see anything so wonderful about it. I think maybe we could arrangt our graphophone to do that.” —Louisville Courier-Journal. >

Ignorance Is Bliss.

“Miss Anteek has been praying for a man for years, and now she’s got Percy Fitznoodle.” “Oh well, she won’t know the difference, perhaps.”— Boston Transcript.

A Losing Sale.

First Scribe —“So the editor took one of your poems and then asked you out to lunch?” Second Scribe —“Yes —and the lunch only cost me a. dollar more than I got for the poem?”

Clever Burglar.

The Paris police recently captured a burglar who used a stethoscope to hear the sounds made by combination locks on safes to enable him to open. them.

Only Way to Keep.

Hokus—“lf you want an umbrella to last a long time, don’t roll it.” Pokus—“I have a better scheme.” Hokus — “What is it?” Pokus —“Don’t lend it.” —Judge.

Hardly Complimentary.

“Now, if you have it in your head,” “said the professor, who had explained a theory to his students, “you have it all in a® nutshell.” Boston Transcript. •

Should Be Hardened.

Sappleigh—“lt’s an awful thing to realize that you’ve made an egregious ass of yourself.” Miss Keen —“Haven’t you got used to it yet?”
