TEST SEED

Prof. G. I. Christie of Purdue Sounds a Warning Note To the Growers. SIMPLE TESTING METHODS. MEANS MUCH IN SECURING STRONG GERMINABLE SEED GREATER SUCCESS IF SYSTEM IS FOLLOWED CLOSELY. Lafayette, Ind., Feb. 25. During the tast two months, members of the Purdue university experiment station have made a study of the seed corn of the state and find the vitality of much of it to be in a serious condition. The unusual cold, wet weather of 1007 did not Allow the corn to mature and dry out before the time of frosts. In the early part of October much of the corn of the state was still in a moist and immature condition and the series of hard freezes which came at that time materially injured the vitaJity. The Tesult of these conditions is that those corn growerB who depended on late selecUl seed, are noif finding on close examination, many ears of questionRble vitality. For these reasons all eeed corn should be specially selected und thoroughly tested. A test of each individual ear should be made and all "weak or dead ears should be discarded. Prof. G. I. Christie, superintendent of agricultural extension, says: "This test can be made in several ways. The following Is suggested as a reliaWe and satisfactory one. Take a box made of inch lumber and of any convenient Bize, Bay about 2 by 3 feet and 3 inches deep. Through the ends and sides, about 2 inches from the bottom, tore small holes 2 inches apart. Through these holes string a light galvanized wire, which will divide the box Into squares 2 Inches to the side. Then fill the box with garden soil or sand end it is ready for use. The ears should he laid on the floor or racks in a room bo they can be numbered. From ear Jno 1 remove five kernels, each from a different part of the ear, and place these in square No. 1; remove five kernels from ear No. 2 and place in square No. 2, and so on until all the ears have been tested. After placing the kernels, moisten the material in the box thoroughly and cover with a glass or rug to keep the surface from drying. Place the tester In a room of ordinary living .temperature, or about 70 Fahrenheit. After five days examine the corn and any ears that fall to show a strong germination of the kernels should be removed and discarded. This method of testing corn is simple, convenient and rapid, and means much in securing strong, germinable seed. Only fourteen ears are required to plant an acre of ground. With an average yield each ear means five bushels in the fall. When a man can test five to eight bushels in a day and locate definitely all weak or bad ears, can he afford to neglect this important step in the preparation of his seed corn ?" HAGERSTOWN, IND.

Adulterated Maple Must Not Be Classed as the Genuine Article.

BARNARD'S STATEMENT. Just how to label maple sirup and maple sugar that is not maple sirup or maple sugar is a question that is puzzling the sugar producers of this State. One of the favorite ways of making maple sugar these days is to melt brown sugar and flavor it with corn-cob juice. H. E. Barnard, State food and drug commissioner, has received many letters within the last few days from those who wish to know whether they may label their corn-cob concoction maple sirup. If they do they violate the law and are subject to a fine. Several ingenious schemes have been invented. One producer advertises his product, as "mapleine." A can containing "mapleine" and bearing a picture of a real old New England sugar grove on the wrapper may have the desired effect on the purchaser. Mr. Barnard says that many imitations of maple sugar and maple sirup have been invented, but none of these has produced the real maple product except the plan of catching sap through a spile and boiling the sap over a fire. The present annual maple sugar crop of the United States, Mr. Barnard says, approximates 40,000,000 pounds. But while these figures represent the quantity of sugar made, ho explains there is no way of knowing how much counterfeit sugar and sirup has been consumed under the name of maple.

SLEtP AND NERVE REST. A. Keceaaltr That la Overlooked In be Modern Strenaona Life. In the days when eight hours for sleep were nominally regarded as an hour too long for any self respecting individual the exhausting character of modern life was unknown. There was less wealth and more contentment; less competition and more security; fewer distractions, but ' more simplicity. Work was easier, slower, and care, anxiety, apprehension in a word, worry did not feed, like the worm 1 th' bud, upon the hours exempt from toll. We are remorseless In overtaxing the delicate mechanism of our minds and nerves. The best walker, for instance, does not propose to himself to ge regularly sixty miles a day or to subject the same set of muscles in any other i form of physical exercise to intense and unremitting labor. But that is what we do with the immediate agent of our minds the brain machine. We cannot watch its operations. We often assume that its movements are as light and endless as the ripples of the universal air. We know and nevertheless we forget that the brain is a substantial apparatus as liable to depreciation as the fixed plant in a workshop. Now, nothing is more certain than this that the potential capacity of the human brain has not increased, if at all, in anything like the proportion of the Immensely aggravated demand upon It. The modern man is subject to as much mental and moral wear and tear In a day as his ancestors in no very remote generation experienced In a week. Yet in respect of sleep we have hardly changed traditional habit. We keep Inter and still later hours. We catch our trains in the morning as usual. There is no doubt whatever that we burn the candle at both ends with unprecedented disregard of the laws of psychological economy, and that the amount of rest we allyv for nerve and brain is no longer adequate. London Telegraph. A Fiat Train. On the Riviera line near yentimiglia. Italy, the train, after ambling gently along, stopped suddenly. An impatient passenger put his head out and asked crustily, "Is this Bordighera?" No answer. "Guard, is this Bordighera?" he shouted again. A voice came from the fore part of the train, "No, monsieur, it is not Bordighera it is a cow." When the cow had been removed from the line the train ambled on again. Two minutes later it once more came to a dead stop. "Another cow, I suppose?" shouted the testy passenger witheringly. "No. monsieur. It is not," said the guard placidly. "It is the same cow." The civilized nations of the earth strike S.OOO.OOO matches every minute of the twenty-four hours. Americans use up 7X0O0,CK,00f a year. Some of the match plants are very large, one on the Pacific coast covering 24.0 acres, with thirty-two miles of railroad which supply the match machines with 13X,X"0 feet of sugar pine logs a day.
