TEST YOUR SEED CORN
The subjection of seed corn to
germination tests is a form of insur-
ance which it is mere recklessness to
neglect say specialists in the Unit-
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture Weak seed make weak stalks
and poor corn crops and to plant it
it to throw away labor and land It
is the weak seed rather than the
dead seed that causes loss Most
farmers plant a superabundance of
seed and consequently their corn-
fields contain a superabundance of
plants which are unproductive be-
cause seed was weak
The processof obtaining good seed
corn really should begin in the fall
with the selection of the best ears
from the field If these are prop-
crly cared for through the winter
the farmer should have a satisfac-
tory supply for planting in the
spring Whether or not this has been
done however it will pay him to
test his seed corn ear by ear
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 F nor beloilr 50 de'
grees F the seeds should begin to
sprout after a lapse of from six to
seven days If any of the kernels
it to give strong sprouts the ear
from which they are taken should
be rejected for planting If after
testing a large number of' typical
ears the farmer finds that the re-
sults of the tests show a germina-
tion as high as 97 per cent of com-
plete he may be justified in consid-
ering that his seed supply is satis-
factory and fa 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
provide himself with a supply of
good seed This can best be ob-
tained in the majority of cases from
the immediate neighborhood It 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
gtow his crop For example a farm'
t in Minnesota or ' North' Dakota
who goes to Iowa for his seed corn
runs a great risk of having his crop
fail to mature arietie which do
well in a section where the growing
season is long may not necessarily
be at all suited to regions where the
season is short In buying ' seed
corn therefore' it is -4f the utmost
importance to ascertain where the
corn was grown
As it may not always be possible
to purchase seed com from just the
right section it is by far the best
agricultural practice for the farmer
to select his own Moreover it hap-
pens not infrequently that conditions
are such in one year that they in-
terfere seriously with the production
of good seed corn For this reason
it is the part of prudence for the
farmer to save a supply of seed corn
that will not only be sufficient for
his planting the next spring but
will carry him through another year
if the need arises

Sanitary food products are put up
in packakes by the manufacturer
Only by buying in the pafiltag can
the consumer be assured that thd
product is sanitary Bulk goods offer
too many "opportunities for contami-

other vermin
As a consequence to3ay is wit-
nessing the passing of the butter tub

many other products formerly sold
in bulk neatly done up in attractive

tteted against any chance of con
tamination until they are opened by
the housewife in her own kitchen
Advertising is largely responsible
for the development of the package
idea When a manufacturer made a
good product he wanted to tell peo-
ple about it so they would buy his
product in preference to some other
coni eting brand
This required that he identify his
picduct in some specific way so the
consumer would know it was his
This led to the marketing of the
product in a package or container
bearing a distinctive label
When you buy standard advertised
package foods you buy sanitary
foods

HARDLY HAD A WELL
DAY IN SEVEN YEARS
Persuaded By Wife to Take Tanlae
He Gains 17 Pounds and Trou-
bles Are Gone
"My wife was determined that I
should try Tanlae so one day while
I was away from home she bought a
Lottie and simply made me begin
taking it and the results are I have
actually gained seventeen pounds
and feel better than I have in seven
years” This is what C C Moore of
155 Estrella Street El Paso Texas
says after using a few bottles of the
“Master Medicine”
"I had suffered from indigestion
and stomach trouble until my health
was so shattered I couldn't enjoy liv
ing at all In fact I hardly knew
Ljat it was to have a well day
stVen years until Tanlae straightened
me out I had gotten to where
couldn’t eat anything or even drink
water without suffering from it
lived for months on nothing but
milk and other liquids and these also
caused me all sorts of trouble
“I often got so weak and dizzy
would fall on -the streets unconscious
and when I came to myself I would
be at home in bed I was very ner
vous all the time could scarcely
sleep and had awful headaches No
one knows how I did suffer and at
though I spent lots of money and
tried everything I knew of nothing
seemed to reach my case or do me
any good
“I kept falling off in weight and
the day ' I started on Tanlae
weighed only one hundred and nine-
teen pounds I commenced to feel
better in a few days after I began
taking Tanlae and have gradually
picked up ever since I now weigh
one hundred and thirty-six pounds—
have gained seventeen" pounds in
weight— and what I have gained in
health and strength is more than I
can tell I can now eat what I want
as much of it as I please with no bad
feelings afterwards " My headaches
are broken up I sleep like a log and
simply feel like a different man”

DRAFT HELD CONSTITU
TIONAL BY SUPREME COlAT
WASHINGTON D C Jan 7-
The selective service act was today
upheld by the supreme court The
theory that the power of congress
to declare war carried with it the
power to the service of citizens bot
at home and abroad was sustained
by the court Chief Justice White
who delivered the unanimous opin-
ion in a brief statement declared
that in considering the various con-
tentions the conclusion had been
reached that most of them were im-
aginary instead of real
The decision resulted from the ap-
peals of 13 cases growing out of ecm
victions under the selective service
All the appeals were based on the
constitutionality of the act
