J 'One of tihif mael Important, simplest, easiest and most, profitable operations on the farm today is> tliat of testing seed corn, yet in comparisaon to other operations of similar importance it is the most neglected. This may be due to negligence, indifference or to ignor­ ance. As a conseqrfence, about fifteen acres out of every forty in McHenry county produce nothing, yet they re­ ceive the same care and attention as the remaining twenty-five.that produce the crop. - Weak and,, barren stalks, one stalk hills and missing hills are due prin­ cipally to seed ears whose kernels were weak. A weak stalk is practically a wfeed in a hill, as it will produce only a poor ear, possibly nor^e at all^nd uses moisture and plant food needed by uie healthy stalk. These weak stalks also produce millions of grains of pol­ len, which scatter over the field, fer­ tilizing the silks of ears on strong, healthy stalks, ahd thus continue their worthlessness from generation te gen­ eration. Moldy kernels which cannot be detected by examining an ear also prove very detrimental. These mold spores develop under the same condi­ tions required to sprout the corn, only moisture and heat being necessary and if planted in the soil will kill the kernels from the infected ear and other kernels that are planted with them. • • • v There is plantedjmnually in McHen­ ry county about eighty-four thousand acres of corn, which requires about twelve thousand bushels of seed. If each bushel of seed produced an in­ crease of one bushel of corn per acre, it would return to the farmers of Mc­ Henry county at least six thousand dollars. A possible increase, however, of at least one million bushels is possir ble,' due to seed selection alone. It requires about fifteen ears of corn to plant one acre. 'Assuming that the yield is sixty bushels per acre, then each ear of seed is responsible for four bushels of corn, or in other words, if jufct one ear is1 dead--and this can be detected only by testing--the yield would be decreased four bushels. At this rate many ears do not have to be detected arid discarded to pay the farmer well for his time and trouble in testing. BrtM tl Twiting. - The corn should be taken from its place of storage to the room "where the testing is to be done. The ears should be laid out in rows in some accessible place and each ear numbered by means of a sipall pieee of cardboard attached to the butt end of the ear by means of a nail inserted in the cob. A very simple and satisfactory germinator can be made - in a short time. Usually a box about thirty inches square, and four inches deep will be satisfactory. It will test one hundred ears at a time. Fill the box 'about half full of clean saw dust that has been soaked in hot water for at least an hour. This should be done to thoroly soak the sawdust and kill any mold spores that might be present. Take a piece of sheeting about the size of the box, rule it off into two and one-half inch squares. Number thesd squares and then place, the cloth over the sawdust. A representative sample of six ker­ nels--three from each side--is taken from every ear. This is placed in a square on the marked cloth of the germinator that has the same number as the ear from which the kernels were taken. Arrange the kernels within the square in two rows of three kernels each, with the germ side up. After the germinator has been filled, the kernels should be covered with a cloth. This cloth should be dampened and care should be taken not to disturb the kernels while covering them.

The box should then be placed in a warm room and not allowed to freeze. Keep tjat sawdust in a good moist condition. The kernels will germinate in *about eight days. Then remove the cover carefuliy to avoid misplacing the kernels. Examine the kernels in each square and if any have failed to germinate, or show a weak sprout, the ear corresponding to that division should be rejected. Discard the weak and moldy ears as well as the dead ones. They will make much bet­ ter feed than seed, and in discarding an ear of this character the farmer gets rid of about seven hundred dead kernels which he might have planted Km Dell Nath«d of Ttitlnf. This is another very simple and sat­ isfactory method of testing seed corn A strip of bleached muslin about one foot wide and threo or four fee'o long is necessary. The cloth should be ruled off by drawing a line lengthwise thru the middle and making cross lines three inches apart. In the same man' ner as described above, remove six kernels from each ear and place them in the section corresponding to the number of the ear. When all sections are filled 'begin at one end and care' fully roll the cloth into a loose roll and place a rubber band or string arotand the middle. Not over thirty ears should be tested in each roll. Im­ merse the entire roll in warm water and allow it to remain for about eigh­ teen hours. Then remove it and keep it in a place where it will be warm and where it will not dry out. Sev­ eral rolls may be packed in a box with moist sawdust around and over them. In about six days the rolls can be opened and results obtained. . No other time'^will be so profitable to the farmer as that spent in testing his seed corn and in grading it to in­ sure the planter dropping the proper number of kernels per hill. It is possi­ ble for every farmer to do this work. He has plenty of time at the season of the year when it should be done. Noth­ ing is more discouraging than a poor stand of corn, and the farmer is in nearly all cases responsible for such a condition. , '"J » rkr'.S- WOODSTOCK DEFEATS WmtY 8EATER3 MOLL UP BIQ SCORt ACAINST lfcHENRY. Dear Editor--I wish to call your at­ tention to the following resolutions passed by the state farmeto' institute at Sterling: " Resolved, That we indorse the Illi­ nois system of permanent agriculture and recommend its adoption thruout the state. We disapprove the notion of the Middle West Soil Improvement committee of the National Fertilizer association posing as an educational in­ stitution, and by so doing trying to en­ list the aid of farm papers, country papers and bankers in distributing its misleading information in an effort to create a sentiment in favor of commer­ cial fertilizers in Illinois. The State Farmers' institute hereby advises edi­ tors, farmers, bankers and others against accepting the teachings of or assisting in any way this ortny other organization whose teachings are in confiict with the facts established by our state experiment station. The fef-tilizer %rust, in their so-called "educational work," is receiving con­ siderable free advertising by asking bankers and county papers to distrib­ ute their information. This informa­ tion pertains principally to the use of complete commercial fertilizers, which is absolutely unnecessary on the farms of MoHeilry oounty. Very truly yours, DELOS L. JAMES, Consulting Agriculturist. • 1 ' For the second time this season the McHenry and Woodstock town basket ball teams hooked up for a battle royal. The contest took place in the type­ writer city and was a whirlwind of a battle from beginning to end. " >;i Woodstock is represented by one ofc the speediest town teams in this sec­ tion and considering the fact that th$y were on their own floor the locals made a most satisfactory showing. Altho defeated by twenty-three points the McHenry team played some fast game and tnad? the county seaters go like the very deuce to keep in the lead. McHenry was unfortunate in piling up thirteen fouls, which, to a certain degree, assisted in bringing about their defeat. Woodstock was more fortunate, they having but nine errors chalked up against them. Hunter took good advantage of Woodstock's fouls by making eight out of a possible nine free throws. While Hunter Starred in this department for McHenry, he is also credited with the best all around work of his team. All told, he made fourteen out of the thirty-two pointa registered by our boys. V Anderson, for McHenry,' did some excellent work, he getting six field throws for a total of twelve points.

A few more days like those we have been enjoying will clear up our,.9treaifli in good shape. A. D. Loom is, who for «iany years has been employed ,at the local plant of the Borden Milk company, has re­ signed his position with that concern. As a result of the profit sharing-sys- tem which the Borden Milk company has placed into effect, a part of the employes of the local plant, it ip said, have received their checks. * ' * Miss Jenola LaValley of Grant Park, 111., is assisting Mrs. Frank -Schnabel in her millinery store.

Knights of the rod and the reel in this congressional district will be elated to learn that 1,000,000 young black bass and the Same number of pike will be sent to this district by the bureau of fisheries of the department of commerce and labor in Washington. Congressman I. C. Copley secured the assignment. Each anglers' club in the district has already put in a bid for some of the young fish. The majority of the fish will be put in the Fox river and McHenry county lakes. In addition to the fish secui-ed from the government hatcheries, fishermen of this district are endeavoring to get some more from the state hatchery. Annually for the last several years large consignments of young fish have been dumped into the Fox river. Last year 50,000 bass and pike were placed in the river in the vicinity of Elgin. It is claimed by those familiar with the ways of fish that by placing live game fish in the rivers the carp will in time become almost extinct, as the game fish eat the young carp soon after they are hatched. ~ On the other hand, the game fish have little chance for increase in a river because the carp eat the eggs before the fish hatch, but they will not eat the live fish. This is one im­ portant benefit which will be derived from placing fish in the river. Thank you, Mr. Copley; we do not know, but from the aboye we arS led to believe you are one of us--and like to go fishing yourself. ^rho is now on a claim at Wild Horse, Col., writes us to the effect that most of the homesteaders have been starved out and ^oft that country and further adds that he believes in another year they will all be gone.

Matthews, the hustling West Side meat market, proprietor, has just added another piece of machinery to his already very modern equipment. The new acquisition is a meat slicer of the latest and most' improved type. The new machine adds greatly to the efficiency of'the establishment. Mr. Matthews is to be congratulated upon his progressiveness and his market is now classed among the best equipped outside of the larger-cities.

Stoffel, awarded to No. 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Nye. The contest was a success and proved a close finish, but that made it all the more interesting. Town Clerk Charles B. Harmsen has called our attention to the fact that a slight e^rror has been made in our notice of the coming township caucus. The word Republican should have been omitted, as the caucus may be participated in by all parties and not alone the Republican. We have dropped the word Republican in this week's notice and at the same time wish to impress upon the minds of the voters that it will be an open caucus in which every voter (no matter with which party he may be affiliated) may take part. - .
