These men compose the Crop Improvement Committee of the Council of Grain Exchanges, an organization of all the largest exchanges in the country. It is a matter of very practical interest to these men, for they estimate that if their "rag doll" propaganda can be carried to a successful issue over half a billion dollai s will be added to the value of the corn crop every year. "The "rag dolls" in which these business men are interested are not tne Kind tnat children play with before they are old enough to have any other sort. They are instruments for testing the germination -powers of corn, and they furnish a ready means by which both children and their elders may learn the value of good seed, and gain a Knowledge of how to secure it. The "rag doll" test is conducted in the following manner: A piece of heavy sheet ing five foet long and nine inches .wide .is marked off into a dozen or more squares about two and one-half inches wide, run ning through the ceuter of the cloth. The squares are numbered, say, from one to twelve. An equal number of ears of corn are selected for the test and are numbered to correspond with the squares on the cloth. The cloth is thoroughly moistened andspreadout in front of the ears. Six kernels are taken from ear number one and placed in square number one, germ side up, and with the tips of the kernels pointing in the same direction. In like manner six kernels are taken from ear number two and placed In square number two, and so on until all the squares are filled. When this has been don?, the cloth is again moistened by sprinkling and then carefully rolled up so that none of the ker nels will be displaced. A string is then tied around the center of the roll just tight enough to hold the kernels in place. When one or more rag dolls have been prepared in this manner, they are put into a bucket or pail filled with warm water, standing them on end with the tips, or Small ends of the kernels, pointing down ward. Old uewspapers are then wrapped around the bucket or pail to retain the heat. In from three to twelve hours the newspaper's are removed, the water is poured off, and the bucket again covered with newspapers. The bucket should be kept in a room where it will not get too cold at night, and should not be allowed to freeze under any circumstances. At the end of about seven days the ker nels should bo sprouted, and it is then an easy matter to tell which ears are good for seed and which are not. It ^will be found that some ears are wholly dead, while oth ers are too weak to plaut. "No man can select good seed merely by looking at it," recently declared Mr. Ball,j Secretary of the Crop Improvement Com mittee. ' 'He may be able to tell some that will not grow, but he can never be sure that the the seed which he picks out will Li.J -1)1' . .? " i? R< D to fit feet.

I recently tested an ear taken from a lot that won a thousand-dollar prize In Iowa last year, and found that it was more than half dead at the top. One bad kernel in a bill often kills all the others; and it is a mistake to think that you can overcome weakness by planting an additional quan tify of seed."^ The aim of such 'a [campaign as this is not only that material success may be achieved. It is chiefly valuable from a broader -,iew-point as binding the country school to the home life and problems of its pupils. If the farmer boy has work of in terest and responsibility to do in school work whifth he fian see is direntlv related to nis future vocation?he is far more like ly to remain on the land. In constructive results, a campaign of education which takes as its slogan "Stay on the Land" is of far more value to the Nation at large than a campaign which seeks to trans p ant city dwellers to the farms.?The Out look.
