TEST YOUR SEED CORN.
Germination Test a Cheap Form of
Insurance on Labor and Land —How
to Test Single Ears.
The subjection of seed corn to ger
mination tests is a form of insurance
which it is mere recklessness to neg
lest, say specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Weak seed make weak stalks and poor
corn crops, and to plant it is to throw
away labor and land. It is the weak
seed rather than the dead seed that
causes loss. Most farmers plant a su
perabundance of seed, and consequent
ly the corn fields contain a superabun
dance of plants which are unproduc
tive because seed was weak.
The process of obtaining good seed
corn really should begin in the fall
with the selection of the best ears
f r om the field. If these are properly
cared for through the winter, the farm
er should have a satisfactory supply
for planting in the spring. Whether or
not this has been done, however, it
will pay him to test his seed corn ear
hv oar.
A simple method of testing single
ears is to select two kernels from the
opposite sides of the ear on the top,
two from the middle, and two from
the butt. These are put in numbered
squares or portions of germinating
boxes, or other testers. If the kernels
are kept moist in a room where the
temperature is not above 90 degrees
I'. nor below 50 degrees F., the seeds,
should begin to sprout after a lapse
of from six to seven days. If any of
the kernels fail to give strong sprouts,
the ear from which they are taken
should be rejected for planting: If af
ter testing a large number of typical
ears the farmer finds that the results
of the tests show a germination as
high as 97 per cent of complete, he
n.ay he justified in considering that
his seed supply is satisfactory and in
omitting any further tests. Where
there is any doubt, however, about the
matter, it is much safer to test each
ear the kernels of which it is proposed
to plant.
If, as a result of these tests, the
farmer finds that the corn he has In
tended to plant is unsatisfactory, he
should take steps immediately to pro
vide himself with a supply of good
seed. This can best be obtained in the
majority of cases from the immediate
neighborhood.'lt is a great mistake for
a farmer to obtain his seed from some
section where conditions may be quite
different from those under which he
must grow his crop. For example, a
nirmer in Minnesota or North Dakota
vho goes to lowa for his seed corn
runs a great risk of having his crop
fail to mature. Varieties which, do well
in a section where the growing season
is long may not necessarily be at all
suited to regions v.here the season is
short. In buying seed corn, therefore,
it is of the utmost importance to as
certain where the corn was grown.
As it may<nbt always be possible to
purchase seed corn from just the right
section, it is by far the best agricul
tural practice for the farmer to select
his own. Moreover, it happens not in
frequently that conditions are such in
one year that they interfere seriously
with the production of good seed corn.
For this reason it is the part of pru
dence for the farmer to save a supply
of seed corn that will not only be suf
ficient for his planting the next spring,
but will carry him through another
year if the need arises.—Weekly News

CORN SELLING AT $1.72 A BUSHEL
WHOLESALE; WORTH SAVING,
ISN’T IT?
Then feed your work-stock a ration
of COTTON SEED MEAL# with Corn.
Dr. Tait Butler says that if you are
feeding your mule 14 pounds of Corn
per day, you can take out four pounds
and put in two pounds of Cotton Seed
Meal and get better results.
Four pounds of Corn is worth 12
cents today. Two pounds of Cotton
Seed Meal is worth 4 cents —a saving
of 8 cents per day on each animal fed.
In 365 days you would save $29.20, if
you put into practice the advice of Dr,
Butler, who is conceded to be the
highest authority on feeds and feed
ing. It is as necessary to SAVE as it
is to PRODUCE, and “saving” and
“producing” are the watchwords of
today.
In The Progressive Farmer, March
24th, 1917, Dr. Butler recommends the
following ration for work-stock when
Cotton Seed Meal is used:
‘‘(D 1 Part Cotton Seed Meal by
weight to 5 parts of Corn.
“(2) 1 part Cotton Seed Meal to 4
parts Corn, 4 parts Oats.
“(3) 1 part Cotton Seed Meal to ’0
parts Oats.
“To be fed with usual quantities of
grass-hay, corn-fodder, etc. ’
These are war times. Corn is human
food. Better save it.
A pint to a quart of Cotton t>eed
Meal fed daily will produce good re
sults.

OBITUARY
SAM MANSFIELD.
Sam Mansfield, son of Mr. arid Mrs.
P. M. Mansfield, died at his home near
Emerson on Easter morning, April 8,
1917, He was seemingly recovering
from an attack of measles when
developed pneumonia which proved
more than his rather frail body could
withstand.
Sam was born here June 3, 1903, and
had spent all of his short life at this
place. His fairness, his sunny disposi
tion, and bright, receptive mind had
won for him the good will and friend
ship of all who knew him.
Having a fuind naturally inclined to
the study of history, especially Ameri
can history, he was a most interesting
pupil. In relating some incident of
great bravery or patriotism, his eyes
would brighten, his voice become ele
vated, and his very attitude would
show that his own mind and heart
were inspired by the greatness and
nobility of our heroes. The historic and
patriotic riug of the funeral services
was in keeping with his life and char
acter.
The funeral services wqre conducted
at Cartersville by Rev. A. J. Smith, of
Calhoun, assisted by Rev. Smith, of
Cartersville. The body was laid to rest
at Oak Hill cemetery and sincere trib
utes of love were rendered by the
presence of a large number of friends.

Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
Up Corns or Calluses so They
Lift off With Fingers.
Ouch ! ? ! ?! ! This kiud of rough
t. Ik will be heard less here in town
i f people troubled with corn will fol
low the simple advice of this Cincin
nati authority, who claims that a few
drops of a drug called freezone when
applied to a tender, aching corn or
hardened callus stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn or callus dries
up and lifts right off without pain.
He says freezone dries immediately
and never inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
tirug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft com or callus from
one’s feet. Millions of American wo
men will welcome this announcement
since the inauguration of the high
heels. If your druggist doesn’t have
freazone tell him to order a small b >t
fle for you.—(advt.)
