Plans won at once set on foot to prepare for a contest that would determine who should he entitled to rreelvo the pilo, and at the same time rIvo a drill to tho entire stu dent body In this kind of work.

Brevier 266-L CONCERNS EVERYBODY, Nerer before bare big buslnes. en terprises, whose volume of trade de pends quite directly upon tbe agricul tural prosperity of the country, taken such a lively and Intelligent Interest In tbe good seed question as now. Par ticularly has this been noticeable in the effort that is being mude by trans portation and manufacturing compa nies to get tbe farmers of tbe north ern part of the corn belt to test their reed before planting It. This ia nicely shown in literature which has been cir culated within the past few weeks In Iowa, which stands next to Illinois in tho volume of Iter corn production This presents the striking fact that 1 but one poor ear of corn, whose ker nels are dead or of low vitality, is used in the planting of eacb of the more than V.uouuuo acres which arc devoted to the growing of this cereal the total loss for the whole state would amount to $1.000.003. This puts the liniwrtance of planting good seed corn on a dollars and cents basis and ouclit to be so plain that a "fool running might be able to read." NOTICE TO CO.NTKACTOItS.

That tin; sltuntlon with reference to the wretchedly poor condition of the seed corn that was BUVwMnst fall Is not overdrawn In report h which have been circulated recently Is plainly shown In the condition of market corn whl h has been received nt leading points during the past three months. These show that at Chlcniro during le- j cumber, January and February but . f,iM- i.- r.Ht-Lj .if Vn fim warn rr- eel veil, while IS per cent of all corn received graded No. 3. and over 80 per cent graded No. 4, or v.-ore. At Oma ha during the same Interval 8n per rent of all corn received graded No. 4. while lit per cent did not grade ns pood as this. At Kansas City over half of the corn received during the winter was fourth grade or worse, the average moisture content beins about 'JO per cent, wlih h U the worst showing in years. In view of this showlnc t Hi warning of "bad seed corn" is narUiv In the "Wolf, wolf!" class. USE GOOD SEED. Iti years when grass see: is h'sh. as , is the case this spring, there is a tend eucy on the part of many a farmer to j make the silly mistake of buying seed j that Is not lirst class s:inply .ee;MMe It Is cheap. Smh seed is usirtlly dirty, criiilaiiiliij; many foreign and often noxious weed needs, and ojsite of; en of low germinatim; power. Tlne two tilings taken tiret li'-r make It the most expensive seed that '"ill In- bought merely from the standpoint of results obtained-the dollars and tents stand j point. No matter what the pri'-e. the highest prh u seed is always the best, because in the long run it Is the ehe-ip est. Simple as arc tin truths referred to. there art nevertheless a whole lot of fellows wlw hope to have about so much rocky experience before I hey get this Idea llxed In their noddles.

This menus that the steers brought $0(1.75 n head, or a total of $7,9i).". One of tho best ! fen tu res connected with this stock : rnlslng enterprise aside from the snug 1 sum received was the fact that the raw products of the farm were con verted Into a finished product on the farm where most of the stuff was raised, with tho result that there was returned to tho land all of the nianur- I Inl byproduct. j ! WATCH THE CHILD. j Mnny a parent does an almost irrep- j arable Injury to tho girl of from eight to fourteen years by encouraging her In the doing of fancy or other work j ; taxing to both eyes and nervous sys- i tern when the moat of her span' time i out of school ought to be spent In the , taking of needed physical exercise that , would build a strong physique. And often It Is children that are ambitious ; and need no encouragement to such work that suffer the most serious In Jury. Many a parent forget' that a mere child has not tho end' ranee of an older person. This, coupled with pa rental pride In the child's achievement and the childish enthusiasm to uieett t ho parent's expectations, forms a very dangerous combination nnd one of ; which the thoughtful parent should be ware.
