HARDSEED CAN PREVENT LOSS " i I v ' * Helps insure Agaiift Crop 'x-v • . "Failure. . MAN'S STRUGGLE FOR ECONOMIC SECURITY v By CARLTON S. GARRISON (daaiatamt Krtrmtioa Agrvmitt, Rutgan Uaireriitf.) Don't always reject field crop seed which happens to contact a relatively high percentage of hard seed. This hard seed may later prove a savior of permanent hay crops of alfalfa and red clover. Hard seeds are not "duds." They are live seeds which fail to absorb moisture and sprout when kept for the official time of six or seven days in a laboratory under good growing conditions. They are a provision of nature to insure the reserve of live seeds in the soil. By spreading germination over a longer period of time, hard seeds often reduce risk of partial failure due to unfavorable conditions following seeding The state and federal seed laws! however, require that the percentage of hard seed be reported on the test tag used for labeling seeds for sale to farmers. Sometimes there is aa much as 80 per cent hard seed present in a tot before hulling, but the scratching of the seed coat during the hulling process reduces the percentage The amount of hard seeds in al> falfa and red clover seldom need be a concern in determining seeding rates. In fact, if alfalfa is sown properly and not deeply at the rate of 15 pounds per acre, 30 to 50 per cent of the seeds may be hard with out reducing the final stand of spring br early summer sown alfalfa Moderate delays in germination due to hard seeds may thicken the stand by the end of the growing season if severe losses have occurred previously, thus hard seeds have a definite insurance value. Scarification of alfalfa seed reduces its keeping qualities to the extent that it is not advisable. Likewise scarification of red clover seed is undesirable where the seed is to be stored for more' than one year. If the rate of seeding red clover is eight pounds or more per acre and if it is sown properly 30 to 40 per cent of hard seed will not injure the resulting stand fbut rather help thicken it. For spring or early summer sowing, scarification of red clover seed is necessary to reduce the number of hard seeds. And if a fourth or more are hard, the usual rate of seeding may have to be increased. If small grain, hay or other legume crops are to follow, volunteer sweet clover plants will reduce the quality of the seed harvested. Part 2 George Pedfc st week in this column, we discussed the Struggles of early man for economic security. This week, let's talk of his struggle in'more modern times. Empires always hare been built on the simple formula of controlling large colonial populations which can be made to fight for you and buy things from you. This has been the only, solution for an over-populated nation to overcome its lack of natural resources. Spain, England and France were the first three modern nations to enter the colonization business on an extensive scale. The rule was that the first fellow to conquer the so-called unenlightened nation, cotild raise his flag and receive title to the territory. The invention of gun-powder and big shrps made this a pleasant, lucrative and relatively safe undertaking. As a result. Spain. France and England prospered mightily. Russia, backward and fully occupied with millions of square miles of undeveloped land, paid little heed to this program. Germany was very slow to see the real economic advantage of this colonization business, and when she finally did see the light, all the good claims had been staked out By this time, England and France and to a lesser degree Holland, had garnered the cream of the crop. As time went on, Germany felt the pinch. Finally she demanded that England and France move over and make room for her. Meeting with a firm refusal, matters came to a head when the Kaiser decided that Germany was ready to challenge the French and British Empires. She almost got away with it. In fact, only America's entrance into World War, Number One. made the blockade airtight and Germany was starved into submission. Don't make the mistake of believing there were any ethics or ideals mixed up in that picture. There were none involved. Of all the nations that were dragged into that war, America alone can be suspected of having been motivated by lofty ideals and there is even a doubt about that. Wars always have been and always will be, strictly business. The Treaty of Versailles supposedly ended the war of 1914 - 1918. Keen students of the situation knew that it simply set forth the terms under which Germany would recuperate and prepare for another try. This became apparent immediately the League of Nations turned into a travesty. The treaty was either too severe or not severe enough. Germany should have been exterminated or taken into the Anglo-French firm. Neither was done and the war of 1939 is the result. If Germany is whipped again, there probably will be another war about 1959. If Germany prevails, we are warned that she will attack us. Whether this is true or not make? no difference to our plans because SOMEBODY else will, sooner or later. Our course is clear. We must maintain armaments so impressive that any ambitious would-be conqueror will shudder at the mere mention of invading America. Next week in the third installment of "Man's Struggle For Economic Security," we will discuss Japan and her struggle for economic security. m Two-Purpose Paw-Paw The tropical paw-paw is one of the commonest trees in Bermuda.

Weigh Farm Animals With Tape Measure ,; ft fiu'd like to know the weight of your farm animals, but do not have a scale, get out your tape measure. The Minnesota experiment station has just released an interesting booklet telling how to figure out the weights of live stock from measurements. in the case of cattle and horses, you first find the heart-girth in inches (the distance around the animal's body just a little way back of the front legs). Next, find the length in inches from the pin-bone at the side of the tail to the prominence on the shoulder, located on mature cattle about one inch back of what is commonly called the point of the shoulder. See that the animal is standing squarely on its feet, with the head forward. With these measurements taken, the heart-girth is multiplied by itself once and the resulting figure is then multiplied by the animal's length. The product of these multiplications is finally divided by 300 to obtain the approximate weight of a cow. In the case of -horses, the number obtained after dividing by 300 is customarily increased by 50 pounds. The proper length measurement for hogs is taken from the base of the tail over the back to a point midway between the ears. Also, the proper dividing figure is 400 rather than 300. fit the oMcittl A.
