THREE-FOURTHS CORN IS BAD Alarming Condition Developed by Test of the Seed. OF 200 EARS ONLY 55 ARE 000D Bad as is the Condi in Nebraska, That Stll Worse, Accol to Teat. There ia evident cause for alarm in the seed corn_situation in Nebraska, according to the first extensive official test made of corn from all’ parts' 6f the stale to the Omaha Commerela) ¢lub, Heré are the results of the firat test 200 ears: .\umbfl‘ germinating strong with good oots Number 1ot growing dfd showing no signs of. lite ... Number alive, but wes and sprouts Number miit fore rot started ... Tof Actual niimber fit for Seed Bars worthless for seed ... 1 rall the seed eorn Nebraska farmers intend te' plant. this year s as poor as these 200 samples, just 2% per cent of it will_grow: and the state will have just a little better than one-fourth of & crop. It ‘was renlly a sad sight when the Com- merolal olub germination-box was opened. Six" Kernels -had- been taken from each of 200 ears /last “Thureday and placed In the box, ‘Whieh was kept in the steam heated rooms ‘until Monday. Forty of the little oups ‘wete /without a sign of life, which means 2 per-cent of the corn will not grow at.all, ' In gikty-three cups the kernels had sprouted, but sorite had no roots and others had roots so weak they were not worth consideration. Almost Mildewed. But the Worst looking ctips Were the fortystwo/ tilled ‘with rotting eofn—some cups almost full of mildew. Thus ‘the result of the test shows that 146 out of 20, eurs are unfit for sced. Home might produce stalks, 'but would never give the farmess ears. While this bércentage isilow, it would have been lower Mad not one sample of ears come from a professlonal corn grower who tests his seed, and the sampie was elther previously fested or taken from stock which had testéd high. All ten of &rew dnd showed their abllity to produck strong roots. Other than these the best' samples of corn came from the ‘Watson ranch near Kearney. The samplés tested weére from Petersburg, Blalr, Keafriey, Nowmans Grove, Water- 100, 'Norfotk, 'Hadar, Clay Center, Clark- #on, Concord, Wakeflel, Colridge, Omaha and two samples from grain companies which did'net give infofmation as to where the seed Wis tecured. Towa Stin Worse Off. As low as the Nebraska corn tests it gave In thils 'test three times as many strong ears as a test of Towa corn made by a Des Molnes paper, which showed only eight' eArs in 100 would produce strong roots and’ sprouts, Indicating its ability to' produce ¢orn. " One of the best samples came from Clarkson. ‘Tt was In two lots, seventeen ears altogether. Only one fafled to show lite; niné wers good, strong ears and seven rather weak—too weak to plant ~ No mil- dew was present in any of the samples fromt Clarkson; Samples from Kearney and viclhity were also free from mildew, while from Copcord, Wakefield and Col- ridge came samples which mildewed badly and would rot in the ground {f planted. Douglas county samples showed 52 per cent good seed, but sonie samples of yellow corn mildewed quite badly. This test was ‘made fri one of the patent testers, but sald by experts to be one of the best’ whi¢h ‘can be (lsed. More than 100 banks in Towd have usedl the tester the last month ' in' démonstrating that Towa corn must”“be «noa £ ' How Teat In Made. Placed In the tester, water at 90 degrees was placed entirely oter the corn and it was soaked for fifteen hours. Al the water was drawn off-not & drop being al- lowed to remain in the' cups with the kernéls. After twentyfour hours the trays were sprinkled and all the water drawn off. The roor Was from 8 to 88 degrees during the three dayd ‘the #amples were in ‘the serminatar. The ' Comimerclal* club has sufficlent samples to make afiother test of 200 e half of which will be placed in a teste where daimip dirt Is used, the other half In the '‘water tester” used for the first 200 samples. Creighton First in Oratory Test Matthews Wins Over Crossland at Wesleysn, Latter Himself Discov- . ering Error in Figures. Frank Matthews of Creignton university Instead .B¢° W. A. Crossland of Wesleyan university won first place in the stats oratorieal cobtest at Crelghton last Friday evening. " The judges handed ' in thelr decisions which shiowed Crossland the winner the night of ‘the eontest and Matthews second. That verdiet was accepted as correct and understood to be ‘o’ until Monday morning Mr. Crossiand called up Creighton univer- sity to inform it that fts man had: won first place and-Crossiand second. “He beat me five points,” said Mr, Cross- 1and over the: telephor T have just been 24ding up the figures.and I find the judges made & mistake, which switches Mr. Matthews ahd myself, so I thought I would hasten to tell you and congratulate Mr.- Matthews. “It |s very "sommendable indeed In Mr. Crossland to be the first to advise us,of this errer when it means so much to him and his institution,” sald Father Doley, vice pregident of Creighton university: “It is especially honorable and praiseworthy wipos Mr. Crossland was the one who dis- covered the fact and had it to himself. Of course we of Creightdn are happy to have won “first place, though we cannot but regret thit such & good loser as Mr. Cross- land could not also have won.'* COLONEL HALFORD 1S INJURED Head of Laymen's Misslonary Move- ment Falls from Train and Fractures Right L item mentioned here means for you.

DENOMINATIONAL LINES ARE DIM | Methodical Materinl Forces of the Day to Be Limed Up In the Bix Fight for Evangelization of the World. “The laymen's Missionary Movement" read before the Omaha Ministerial Monday i morning by Rev. E. H paper union Jenks. The paper gave a short history of the origin and purposes of the movement, fol- lowing which Dr. Jenks sald: “This promises to become one of the most far-reaching movements of modern times. It is a movement of Investigation, agitation and organization, founded on the ory of the hour and age for world eva lization. It Is an organization by which the lgymen co-operate with the' ministers and church boards in a world enterprise. It 1s an organization of the material forces of the world stich as never before was seen. “The church of God is facing & great task. ' This Is not a degenerats, but & virlle age. Today s laymen's day. God's spirit {8 laying upon the laymen & minis- terial duty. It Is a man's task, an herolc one. ' It is no longer the dream of the en- thusiast, but the practical demonstration of the capabilities of men of action. It is an analysis of values carrying with it the truest idea of stewardship. “The laymen's movement in this ¢ity has the right to expect the co-operation of the pulpit, and will receive it. Denominational Hnes are growing dim and all are trending toward unity in God's work.” A brief discussion of the paper followed, supplemented with an expression of thanks to Dr. Jenks for his address.
