Clean, Healthy Wheat Seed Essential
.
to Large Yield. 2
Washington, D C, August 28:? f
Sound, clean, healthy seed is the
i ?
first requisite for the largely in-' j
creased wheat crop which the united
States department of argicul- r
ture hopes to see harvested next *
year. Whatever the source of supply
farmers will find it to their ad- ^
vantage, says the department, to t
see that only good seed is planted.
What has been said is equaiiy true r
of seed for the rye crop which the s
department hopes to see much larger v
than usual next year. t
If a farmer has seed from his own i
ernn which is satisfactory so far as \
variety and general condition are t
concerned, he should lose no time in i
getting it into shape for storage un- v
til planting time. The fanning mill r
is the farmer's best friend in this 1
task. The farmer, by all means
should have such a mill and if he 1
has not and is unable to obtain one, t
should borrow or rent his neighbor's f
mill, or several farmers can join in
buying one. A fanning mill re- c
moves weed seeds, smut and shrivel- c
ed grain,leaving only plump kernels, c
practically every one of which may c
be depended upon to produce a c
thrifty plant. After it is cleaned, c
however, the seed should be treated s
in order that the smut may be pre- i
vented. Scab is less likely to be r
? "- "J K" iiaiu) tpoafmpnt hilt, f

the use of the fanning mill will as- 1:
sist materially in improving the
crop grown from seed known to c
have contained scabby kernels. 1
If the farmer is dependent on out- r
side sources for his seed he should i
buy from his neighbor if possible so 1
that he ma\ be more likely to get e
seed adapted to his conditions. It s
is advisable to buy as soon after r
harvest as possible as at this time b
prices 8re likely to be lowest. If (
the farmer deiays, his neighbors \
may dispose of all their surplus grain i
and he may be forced to plant seed '
grown under conditions radically '
different from his own. If the farm- fl
pr natronizes a seedsman he should |
insist on getting seed grown as near
his section as possible.
If seed is affected by diseases,
careful inspection will usually disclose
the fact. The presence of
stinking smut in wheat is indicated
by the odor and the presence of
scab by the appearance of the kernels.
Purchased seed should, of
course, be cleaned and treated for
the destruction of the spores of
disease producing fungi, if the examination
shows this to be necessary.
In choosing varieties of wheat the
farmer should be guided by the experiences
of his neighbors and the
advice of his State experiment sta

there are available fewer varieties
of rye than of wheat. The stations
can furnish comparative statistics on
the yields and behayior of a number
of varieties of the two cereals.
After the grain farmer has procured
a supply of satisfactory seed
he should store it carefully so that
it will keep in good condition and
will be safe from the depredations
of rats, mice and insects. Bins that
are supposedly proof against rats
are available on practically all farms
and it will pay farmers to* see that
they are kept in good condition to
keep out the rodents.

Governors' Sons In Service.

This is interesting?particularly

In connection with this general
eference to Governors' sons in the
service, The Index wishes to say that
vhile on occasion it has criticised
he judgment of Governor Manning
n some of his official acts, as to his
)atriotism and that of his family
here can be no question. And this
s something which the Governor,
vith the excellent taste of a gentlenan,
does not use as a political
>oost. The people of the State genially,
we believe, do not really
mow the facts and without his
knowledge this plain statement of
acts, in justice to him, is presented.
He has had four sons to volunteer
lespite initial sacrifices and all accepted
for the active service of their
country in this struggle to preserve
>ur lives and liberties from the merciless
hand of the the Kaiser. Many
>fficials have a son in the service,
lome two, a few three, but perhaps
10 other high official has offered so
nany sons to the country as Gov rnor
Manning with four sons now
lehind the colors.
When the trouble with Mexico
ame, William S Manning, oldest
iving son of Governor and Mrs Manling,
was earning his living as Washington
correspondent of a New
fork newspaper. Though depend- j
?nt entirely on his salary for the!
iupport of himself and family, he!
eturned at once to his native State i
md enlisted as a private with the
Charleston Light Dragoons at a
vage about one twelfth his Washington
salary. He served on the
Mexican border in that capacity.

When this clash with Germany came,1
William Manning, above the age of
the draft, applied for admission to
the Officers' Training Camp. After
training at Fort Meyer. Va. he
was designated by the government
a few days ago to enter on special
training at Cambridge, Mass, for
trench warfare.
Another married son of the Governor,
Bernard Manning, resigned a
respuxisiuie biju luiiauvc puaiuuu as
cashier of a bank and entered the
Officers' Training Camp at Fort Oglethorpe.
A few days ago this young
father returned on furlough to his
wife to bury their only child. This
patriotic young Carolinian, having
earned the honor of being one of
the two men selected out of his com-;
pany for the position of instructor1
in the second training camp, returns
shortly to assume that responsibility.
Wyndham M Manning, a graduate
of West Point, married and the father
of two children, was Captain of
the Charleston Light Dragoons when
troops were needed in Mexico. He
served on the border till March,when 1
he brought his troop home. In the be-.
ginning of this war with Germany,!
Capt Manning was stationed as captain
in the Training Camp at Fort
Oglethorpe.
As if the father, with his duties as
war Governor, and Mrs Manning,
active among the women of South
Carolina, in preparing the State for
the strain of war, were not doing
enough, still another son offered his
life. This boy, Burwell Manning,
two years below the requirements
of the draft, left college to become
a private in the Charleston Light
Dragoons. There he waits, like his
brothers, to give if need be, his life
for the name*of the State, the freedom
of America.?Greenwood Index.
