How to Cure Seed Corn
The best seed corn [other things
being equal] is that cured in the
natural way. Several methods ol
• tiling have been in use at the ex
periment s ati.m, and for large
amount a thin layer upon the floor
of a well ventilrted room is thought
to be most efficient and practieal..
In small amounte [ten bushels or
less],the slat racks or ‘ trees" are
li st. T1 * slat rt*k ; are mil- by
nailing narrtfw (one inch) strips
ero'-swise upon two upright boards.
These boa ids are six inches or less
wide; thus when the slals are
nailed on either side and opposite
in pairs, an oar of corn " ill rest
safety when laid across them. Ihe
slats arc placed about six inches
apart, thus allowing ot only a
limited number of ears being pile and
logi liter. I Ids is necessary to pro
vent mill ling or decay. In this
manner ears ma\ be stored with
comparativcsafety. An occasion
al turning of the ear may be found
noees-ary to insure perfect curing,
but this is not much of a task.
Another successful method of
curing the seed ears is tying them
iu long strings with binding twine
and suspending the strings from
the ceiling. Seed ears of corn
have also been safely cured by
sticking the ears through the
meshe sofa strip ol wire poultry
netting, which has been suspended
from some convenient support.
The “tree” is made of 2x4 or
4\4 pieces. In these on all sides
tenpenny nails ere driven. 'I lie 1
nails should be placed about three*
inches apart and driven in slanting
Slightly toward the* tile* e*iid. Ihe
timber, thus “nailed,” can be
learned against the wall or sup
ported by brace’s at the* bottom so
as to stand alone. The seed are*
forced, butt end lirst, upon these
nails. In this manner they re
main. without contact and where
they can receive perfect circulation
of air. For the home supply of
seed there is no bed ter method to
be recommended. < . I*. Hull,

BANKS COUNTY JOURNAL
The Power and Influence
of Teacher and School
George M. Troup of Laurens
county—governor, representative
and senator in congress for many
long years, and nominee for the;
presidency of the I'oiled States —
was prepared for college in a little
school at Flatbush on Bong Island.
There were twenty-one members *
of his class. In after-life when he;
reached congress he found nine
teen of his classmates there, rep
resenting lifteen different states.
We tin 1 this reinaikabli item in
Sparks's “Memories of Fifty Years
in Georgia.”
It well illustrates the power and
intlunce of a school, and the effect
of vitalizing contract w itb a strong
tenchei-personality. After all,
education is not stulling with
scholarship, but steaming up with
worthy motives under a noble
teacher.
A large man equipped with small
learning is worth a thousand little
fellows equipped with large learn
ing.
Said Mi. Emerson, I care not
what my boy studies; with whom
lie studies is the main matter.
It is good for young people tube
with some teachers; if only to go
round about them and to mark the
towers and bulwarks and palaces
of their souls.—The .Athens, (la..

Lost Money by Dishonesty.
Some years ago, wbon silver had a
much higher value than at present and
the Mexican dollar was worth intrin
sically about S5 cents, a counterfeit
Mexican dollar came into the posses
sion of the United States assayera at
the Philadelphia mint. They assayed
the coin and found it to be worth in
trinsically SI.OO. It seems that the
mine from which the counterfeiters
got their metal produced silver that
was strong in gold. Thus the forger*
lost money by making counterfeits.

I 'em all, mum!”
Good Times Ahead.
If others have to lose it, we are
glad to be the gainers. Last .year
the Texas cotton crop was about
l ,000,(00 bales over that of the
previous year, while the crop of
Georgia was off about 1,000,000
j bales. What was Georgia’s loss,
I therefore, was Texas’ gain.
This year the cotton condition in
i Georgia lor August was 79.5 and
j for September 79, showing a dif
ference of only one-half of one
point, while in Texas, owing to the
drought, the August figure was
SI. 4 and the September figure 05.1,
shoiviug a loss of 15.7.
Bast year the gain of Texas, in
bales, represented approximately
Georgia’s loss. This year tin* per
centage of Texas’ loss, for Septem
ber, as against August, is over
thirty live* times the loss of Geor
gia. Georgia’s loss, however,
stands so far below the percentage
of loss of all the other great cotton
growing states that good times for
Georgia are bound to come this
winter.
Here are the figures: Georgia
05; Alabama, 5.0; Mississippi, 7.4;
Louisiana, (Lo;Texas, 15.7: Arkan
sas, 9.8; Tennessee, 8.2; Missouri,
19.8; Oklahoma, 15.1.
The loss of 9.7 points reported
by the Journal of Commerce, New
York, August 20, is a general
average for the whole of the cotton
belt. Georgia not only shows up
far better this year, in crop con
ditions, than all the other cotton
states, Nort h and South Carolina
and Florida excepted, but in com
parison with herself stands 8 points
above her own record lor 1910 and
1912, and only 1 point below her
own record for the bumper year
shows practically the same percent
age as that of North and Houth
< 'a id I ilia and Florida.
|
From every viewpoint, then, it
is apparent that Georgia is about
to enter upon a season of great pros
perity.—Atlanta Constitution.

PABTEURIZED MILK SHOULD
BE KEPT COLD UNTIL
UTILIZED.
That pasteurization or steril
ization of milk may do more
harm than good Is the opinion
of Dr. Henry Dwight Chapin,
authority on Infant feeding.
“Pasteurization kills most of the
harmless bacteria,” he says,
“leaving a free field to some of
the worst forms, which are
often killed off by the harmless
kinds” (when the milk Is heat
ed). “This is often seen,” Dr.
Chapin says, “when unsweet
ened, canned condensed milk Is
used. If the can is left open In
a warm place it does not sour
but putrefies and becomes like
tainted meat which Is often in
tensely poisonous.” Some time
ago I explained that when milk
Is pasteurized It should be kept
at or below freezing tempera
ture till It Is used. Incomplete
understanding of these facts ex
plains the reason for the differ
ence of opinion regarding the
advisability of pasteurizing milk.
