The
At first reading it sounds like a rather
foolish statement, but there are now a
number of successful business men who
are exerting every possible effort to got
the children in the rural schools to make
rag dolls. 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

grow. 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

"How thankful we are to
'you for getting a hold off
your wonderful Remedy.
My wife could Dot have

I If ehe had not taken your
I Wonderful Remedy when
I she did. One more of those

'she is free from all pain,
free from heart trouble and
free from that disturbing
Neuralgia.?all the results

the expulsion of five or six hundred Gall Stones.
Now ehe is able to eat anything she wants and
her appetite is good and before taking your
medicine she had no appetite and when she ate
anything she would suffer death for so
and could not sleep at night; since
treatment she sleeps well ail night long.
ME ALL, Roanoke, Texas."
The above letter should convince yon more
than anything we could say In behalf of Moyr'a
Wonderful Stomach Remedy. Sufferers
should try one dose of this Remedy?one dosa
should convince them that they can be restored
to health. Nearly all Stomach Ailments are
caused by the clogging of the intestinal tract
with mucoid and catarrhal accretions allowing
poisonous fluids into the Stomach and otherwise
deranging the digestive system. Mayr's Wonder
ful Stomach Remedy painlessly removes these
accretions without a surgical operation and puts
an end to Colic Attacks, Gases in the Stomach
and Intestines and all of the usual symptoms
of Stomach, Liver and Intestinal Ailments. Ask
