SEED CORN SHOULD BE SELECTED IN THE FIELD— Seed corn should bo selected in the Held and not from the eorn-erlb, ns no improvement eon be made unless the elinrncter of the stalk on which the corn grow is known. There is n comniodiv accepted iden that a variety will run out if grown in the snmc locality for a number of years. This idea is errone ous, oh seed corn that has been Selected from your own Holds from year to year is better seed than can be bought from some other section. It is of course nec essary that the grower start with a good variety, ami keep it so isolated that no crossing with other varieties will take place. The importance of using pure seed corn of a variety adapted to the conditions in the section in which it is grown has never been fully realised by many farmers. Thoso farmers, however, who do not enro to select their own seed corn in the field should secure fresh seed every few yenrs from a reliable plant-breeder, as coimtnut selection is necessary in order to keep corn up to a high standard. The fodder should never bo pulled from corn intended for seed, ns numerous tests have shown that corn loses in weight from 10 to 30 per cent., and that Bend from stalks from which fodder has been pulled do not give an high yield as when it is allowed to re main on the stalk. In a few hours a grower can go through his fields and select enough seed to plant Ids crop for the next year. In tanking these selec tions the following characteristics should be watched for— 1. Two good-sized ears per stalk. 2. Tip of ear completely covered by shuck to keep out grain wcovils. 3. Medium-nixed stalks in most vnri ctios. 4. Ears low down on stalk to prevent breaking over. 6. Ears with tip turned down, which keeps nut moisture. <1. Ears well filled out with butts and tips. • i 7. Long eyimlrieal ear, with smnll cob and deep grains. 5. Hard, flinty grains as a measure in proventing injury from weevils. This seed corn should be thoroughly dried and placed in a barrel or tight box to prevent injury from weevils and rats. About (I or .3 ounces of carbon . bisul phide placed in a shallow dish in the top of ii barrel, and the barrel /covered tight;, will kill all weevils. The prolific corns have invariably giv en the highest yields in variety tests, and when good seed of a prolific variety is secured to begin with they ciyi be kept to a high standard /iy selecting in the .field. FARM PROGRAM FOR 1922, ADOPTED BY WHITE OAK F. B. COMMUNITY COUNCIL— The White Oak Farm Bureau Ogmimi-, idty Council mot Friday night, Sept, 30, with a largo and representative attend ance. The eliief f'eaturo of tlio business mooting was tlio report of a committee appointed at a former meeting to pre sent a farm program for 1922. A sum mary of the report, which follows, will show Iiqw well this work was dono. For n one-horse farm as a unit it is recommended to plant i Four acres of. wheat, S to 0 neres nf outs, 3 to 10 neres of corn, (with pons or velvet beans in corn and on stubble,) 1 or 2 acres of potatoes, 1 aero of sor ghum, and such air amount of cotton ns the farmer can hnndlo under boll weevil conditions after taking care of the crops named, Also, a good garden was stress ed, and it was . recommended that each farm Include the cows, hogs and poul try to provide a surplus to bring in money. This is safe and sane, and cer tainly along the right line. We may dif fer about details. Homo would no doubt approve of a larger acreage of oats; some might add peanuts or soy beans, or increase the potato acreage, but it is certainly a good program to study. Think it over, and see bow it will suit your conditions. rocks or clods. I then planted the seed and placed the box in a wnrm, dark place for a few days; then out in the worm sunshine, taking them in at night. If loft out it is best to put an old sack over them, to keep them from getting hurt by the cold. I hoed my patch at leimt once every two weeks, and let it be plowed twice a month. I did not prune or stake my tomatoes this year, I had no trouble with insects, but the tomatoes rotted. When 1 gathered tomatoes I put them carefully in a basket ami tried not to bruise them. When I got to the house 1 would take out the tomatoes, place them on a bench nnd select the best ones for canning whole, nnd used the others for making ketchup, soup mixture nnd puree. 1 did all my canning by packing them in jars and boiling thepi in a deep boiler on the stove, ns I have no eaiiner. We always have a good time at our club meetings. We first got our work finished up; then we sing, and give yells, and plan the work, for the next mooting. 1 think the best time wo had this year was at our club camp, hold at Sargent in July, when all of the club girls ami teachers from all over the county wore invited to camp. Wo slept on wliout straw on the school-house floor—that is, while we slept, as Jiore was very little sleeping done. We had to talk and laugh and listen for the ghosts before wo went to sleep. I like the idea of all of the girls getting to gether once a yonr like wo did at the camp. And, too, wo lonrned so many things 1 urn hoping wo shnll go every year. Tlio club work has helped me more than anything I have ever been in. I intend to bo in it ngain next year, so I can got my certificate. ElBie Hicks, Sargent Club.

On this site, 114 years Hgo, was born the Confederacy, for here was born the man who for twenty-five years before tlm Civil War and twenty- live years after it maintained implacably the doctrine of State’s rights, the prin ciple of secession, tlio contention that the Constitution is a volunary compact of sovereign States. It is a mystery of fate which brought two Kentucky lads of similar age, born 140 miles apart, to the forefront in the most dramatic of nil wars. It was a double mystery that one courac of life should lead Lincoln forward as an apos tle of nationalism, and another course of life made Dnvis the champion cf State ’b rights. Yet from early manhood Lincoln nlways saw the ’Union above all, and from early manhood Davfo cherish ed the State, He cherished it to the point of sacrifice.

I found the club is tlio best place 1 know to learn. When 1 joined I knew nothing about canning or sewing, but now i can sew most iinythiiig 1 want to. mid i-nu too. My garden was a soft, black, loamy soil, near n branch. 1 selected this place because it was rich, and almost always moist, being near water. About the first of Marcli pupa broke up my garden, then broudcasteil some stable manure anil harrowed it, so there would lie no clods. It rained before lie luid off the rows, but ho put- some more manure in the rows. I think this is a very good way to prepare tlio soil for tomatoes, ns it pulverizes the soil and makes it easy to cultivate. I planted my tomato seed in n large box about the last of February. I prepared the box by using a bucket of woods soil and half a bucket of manure, and mixed them well, making sure not to leave any Want to Feel Just Right?

Cincinnati Jmim Central of Georgia Holds Railroading is as Attractive Now as Ever Right now, when optimism in all branches of industry is needed more than ever before we regret to note an unorganized but none the less effective effort to make railway work ap- pen-r unattractive to our young men. Non-railway men have expressed discouraging views, and even some railway officers have lent their opinione to this unprogreBsive effort. For the most part, fortunately, these views are merely opinions without statistics in support. We, of the Central of Georgia Railway, do not subscribe to thdse pessimistic opinions in any single particular. We believe—indeed, we know—that the present-day complexity of railway organization demands men better trained and more resourceful than ever before, and that opportunities for advancement, to the right men, are as good as they ever were. There is danger, however, that, although unfavorable opinions of railway work are false, constant reiteration may result in tlioir acceptance as fact, and (some promising young railway men may be side-tracked into other missions of less benefit to themselves and to the public. Any business is largely what you make it. Railway men should point out how attractive their business really is. Wlmt other preent-day businesses have greatei romance, better compensation and swifter chances for advancement than railroading? The three factors—opportunity, compensation, adventure—are the lodestones that draw young men today as truly as they did their fathers twenty, thirty or forty yenrs ago. What has railroading lost in these respects that other businesses have gamed? As construction of new lines, with consequent opening of new territory, has almost ceased, perhaps some of the romance lias faded out of railroading. The day of the empire builder is past. But have other businesses fared better? What competing industry has more adven ture, even today? Only on, the frontiers of civilization, which have crept far outside our immediate problem, will you find the great adventures again—and out there, the chances are, you will find the railroader, ritext to the soldier, perhaps, the envied man. In place of the old frontiers we have something far more productive of opportunities for service—a large population busy in the- further development of our country. In this development the railroads play a part of tremendous importance., for business of every kind is dependent upon adequate transportation. In providing that transportation at minimum cost and at the Baine time improving and enlarging the transportation plant, to keep it abreast with the country’s growth, the present-day railway man has a problem bigger than his graml- fn tlier and his father faced in the days of pioneei railroading, and he is better paid. But how about advancement? Has a young man in railway work a chance as good as those in other lines? Will merit find itB own place at the top? We believe no other business offers better opportunity for advancement to the young man who insists upon advancement. Inertia won’t push him to the top any more today than it would forty years ago, but his bass’ job is always in front of him, and the pursuit is the rsaifie old game. The young men who are now coming along iu railway service don’t know much about the conditions that prevailed- a generation ago, and we doubt that many of them care. All that a young man who has the right kind of stuff in him is Concerned about is the problem of tackling the task confronting him today, and he doesn^t care a rap about how somebody did the job before. He has bis own future to carve—and many young railway men are carv ing theirs rapidly today. For example; some of the official positions of tbe Central of Georgia Railway are held by men less thnn thirty years of age. A greater number are held by men between thirty and forty. Several of the men holding executive positions attained them before they were forty years of age. Almost nil of the officers, the executives included, won their way up from the ranks, after starting ns station clerks, rodmen, ticket sellers or stenographers. This proves that opportunity still exists in the railway business. The best man will seize it, as he always did and always will. The same effort wins in railway work as in other lines, and the final rewards compare favorably with those in most competing industries. The editor of nn important newspaper wrote the other day: “There is no more inter esting calling than that of railroading. It’s a man’s game, and next to our own we esteem it as a vocation of less monotony nnd more adventure than any other.” This $3 a complete outsider’s opinion of the railway business. While we do not agree with the exception lie made, we believe it is otherwise a correct opinion. Moreover, we believe it would be conducive to the good of the railroads if similar opin ions were adopted and expressed more frequently. We believe the contrary viewpoint is erroneous, and its adoption by many of our citizens would be detrimental to railroads as well as to the public welfare. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. W. A. WINBURN, President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
