The importance of using pure seed
corn of a variety adapted to the con

grown, has never been fully
by many farmers.
Those farmers, however, who do not
care to select their own seed corn in
the field should secure fresh seed
every few years from some reliable
plant breeder, as constant selection is
necessary in order to keep corn up to
a high standard.
The fodder should never be pulled
from corn intended for seed as numer¬
ous tests have shown that corn
in weight from 15 to 30 per cent and
that seed from stalks from which the
fodder has been pulled do not give as
high yield as when it is allowed to r«. -

browsing, the attractiveness and com
fort of reading nooks. As I see it our
most striking need is co-operation of
club members to make this a communi¬
ty center the most attractive place
in town—with its large library table
in center of room, its reading tables
covered with the best periodicals and
newspapers, around which those who
drop down for a restful moment, can
read some absorbing article, go back
to his or her work refreshed by that
hour at the library.
Thru the co-operation of principal,
teachers, parents and the Woman's
Club the library may be made the
very center of school work. Modern
methods, lay more and more stress on
the use of the library as a working
labratory for all departments, to cre
a te a love for reading and develop a
library habit which will lead children
to tlte best use of the public library.
The right book can be put into tho
hands of children at the right time.
Phillips Brooks has said that duty
makes its do things well, but love
makes us do them beautifully. It Is
not duty alone thut points the way
to making this the "house beautiful.”
it is our love for our library, our town,
our friends, out* children. If this he
true it is our duty to preserve in this
library the great and high traditions
of literature and beauty.
