That is the one of the importance of good seed. The United States gov erAhent has given out instructions in the matter of testing seed corn which is appended herewith. 4 Testin? seed corn for germination Vutnvg a nmf itjihlj farm nrjutiA- is an absolute necessity this year in xnuny sections. In a number of dis tr;'ts the last corn crop from whu-n seed for the coming planting will in . taken was late in maturing or S5 moist when harvested as to call id. s ccial precautions. A high moisture content makes seed corn particu'ail.v euscejjtible to damage from fieo-in,. t scaling. Farmer) in tae section t where corn failed to ripen normally who do not test their seed early enough to be able to replace theii own bad seed with good seed se cured from other sources will be tak ing an unnecesary risk. It is also especially important for holders oi seed in such . districts to take un usual care during the remainder oi the winter to proleci. it from freezing. wnnc complete lesung lor germ inatiou should take place shortly be fore the seed is planted, the specialist? of the department believe that it will bo simple- forehanuedness for farmers who havt any reason to be doubtfu. .about the viability of their seed tc make preliminary germinating test with .a few typical ears taken at ran dom from the rack, if these prelim inary tests show that the seed is good, the owner then can continue his pre cautions to guard it from Weather damage. If, however, this test with a few ears indicate that the seed is of low vitality, the farmer should a-l once make further tests to satisfj himself as to whether his seed corn cpnerAllv is frond nr had. -If 'a farmer finds his seed is' bad' he should take steps at once to meet the difficulty. The purchase of seed should not be delayed till spring, es pecialy when so much corn in var ious sections has been damaged. The farmer should secure his seed from well-known sources, buy it upon a germinating guaranty basis, and get hie aaaA M tunidnl cnmnloc aflrln ... w. . ....... j,. 'J enough to make his own germinating tests. It is probable this year thai many farmers who have not follow ed the wise practice of selecting enough special seed from good cropt to last in an emergency for two oi three years will have to buy seed. In buying seed, farmers should try to secure com of varieties known to prosper in their section. The safest seed would be that carefully selected from corn grown in the immediate neighborhood, but at any rate effort should bo made to obtain seed grown districts where climate, soil, and farm ing conditions in general are similar to those at home. " If the farmer happens to have a stock of seed left over from the 1914 crop and doubts seed saved from his 1915 crop he would do well to test the older seed also and then use which ever shows' the greater vitality. Seed corn if properly cared for will re tain its vitality for several years. Many farmers knowing this alway: select an extra amount of seed from an unusually good harvest. The following method of testing ed corn is taken from Farmers' bulletin 704. The corn is placed on drying racks made by driving wire finishing nails about 4 inches a part on four sides of a stick. A number is placed over the nail and the butts of the ears are put on the hails. If wire fencing or other seed racks are used,'' the ears can be numbered in other ways. tin single ear testing, two kernels from opposite sides of the ear on the 4op, two from the middle, and. two from the butt are put in numbered squares or portions of germinating boxes or other testers. The kernels are kept moist at a room temperature not above 90 degrees F. nor below 60 degrees F.. After six or seven days the seed should begin to sprout. Only those ears from which all the kernels give strong sprouts should be reserved for planting. Under ordinary circumstances, it may not be absolutely necessary to test every individual ear. If a large number of typical ears show germina ting tests as high as 97 per cent, the seed in general may be considered good. Under the unusual conditions prevailing ithls year, especially in neighborhoods where the corn did not , mature normally, it should well re pay a corn grower to test every eai that he intends to use for seed. If he has any reason to doubt the quality of his individual stock, the ear-by ear testing is simply a form of labor and crop insurance. Before testing germination, the farmer should examine each ear and throw out all the ears which do not look right or which have several with ered or damaged kernels. He should strive to make up his seed from ears which in size and appearance seem to be normal for the variety of corn. Seed corn should be shelled if- possible by hand to avoid the risk of damage by mechanical shelling. Before shelling the owner should pick out peculiar looking kernels and separate the seed into sizes so as to make cer tain that the corn drill will plant regularly. SHERRY THEATRE TODAY.

Inspiration, a most daring picture, dealing with the life of a professional model, has been contracted for, as a special feature, by the 'Arcade man agement for February 2nd and 3rd, Wednesday and Thursday. This picture was inspected by the management while in Portland at the Majestic Theatre, where it had a big run, causing an unusual amount of comment. In sneakiner of this picture, we as sure the public, that although very daring, there is absolutely nothing of fensive. One reel is entirely educa tional, showing how statuary is made from a life cast of a human body. This picture should not be missed by the film fans of La Grande as it is seldom that a picture as daring as this one contains so much of educa tional value. - In this picture a fnll view of many of the buildings of the Panama-Pacific exDosition is shown as well as the Maine Monument and other important buildings in New York, the groups on these buildings having been posed for by Miss Mun son. There is also a pretty romance woven around the artist which makes a very interesting story. Before being shown to the public this picture is to be nassed upon by a committee of local club women. There will be no raise in the admis sion price, although it has been shown in other cities at increased prices. DUSTIN FARNUM SCORES.

Sleeveless nighties, ankle short Are the few alluring sort; n them Sue's so sweet a sight, I 'Tis a shame to douse the light. New York, Jan. 28. The newest nighties are bound to ,be a source of vexation to those unfortunates whose vaccinations are thus laid bare either by the lack of sleeve on- the lack of length. But who can deny that they are adornable? It takes little mater ial but lots of arts to evolve them and a little nerve and lots of charm to wear 'em. About the only way you can tell a nightie from a chamise 'these days and nights is by inches. The chemise is cut just above the kneo and the nightie just below it It is true that most of the nighties actu ally blush for their own shortcomings and this beautiful blush pink dyes them whether they be of shear batiste crepe de chine or the new wash satin. It takes lots of sibilants to describe them and but libtle else sheer, short, sleeveless and simple will do the work and there you have it. Just to be consistently short in everv re spect the new nighties are also short waisted and the empire line is shown on all the smartest models. Narrow lace edgings outlining the armholes and low neck line; briar stitching in pink or blue, touches of smocking or embroidery in pink or blue are ail the ornamentations possible on these chaste little sleeping garments of the moment. They must be highly hy genic, allowing as they do for so much fresh air, but one shudders to think how soon these ducks of night ies become an extinct species along with the Do Do Bird and other rara avis if they keep on dwindling away to nothing in this reckless way they have begun. - As for caps to top the dishevelled matutinal locks of milady fair, they are getting reckless too. Time was when a boudoir cap meant a coquettish little morsel of ribbon and lace and net, or at most pastel tinted bits of chiffon or crepe de chine. Nowdays one must be coiff ed like a gypsy or one of the Russian ballet in vivid hued silks twisted in turban shapes, or wierd and oriental head dresses. One cunning model that turns you into a snow maid or a fluffy white kitten is made of white satin gathered up into a to1 sette on top of the head and topped with a fluffy ball or swansdown. Fluffs is of swansdown alternating with a tiny French ribbon roses frame the face. These swansdown trimmed caps are also charming when combin ed with satin of delicate tints and are verily far more fascinating when up on my lady's head than when down on the swan's.

"IVew" Civic Idea Seven hundred years old! We all thought the commission form of government for cities was a brand new creation, with Des Moines as the pioneer, says the Oregon Voter.. 'There's nothing new under the sun.' Le Roy Hodges, counselor of ifche Southern Commercial Congress, shat ters our illusions in a recent istue of Town Development Magazine, writes: sanctioned a "commission government tfor Northhampton." Similar charters were held by other early Englich cities, which contradicts the popular idea that small centralized city legislative and executive councils, and the principlo of electing council men from the city at largo, are crea tions born of the heresies of the twen tieth century political scientists. The fact that the provisions of the first city charter of Cwton provided for a legislative .".nd executive body known as a "board of control" as the successor of the old board of select men of the town of Boston, is "addi tional evidence that tho commission plan is not a new-fangeled Amo ican 'idea.
