AMERICAN FARMER FAST IMS.
APPEARING.
CoiiKrc.sMiuiii Ainey Called Attention
or Congress in Advocating Parcels
Express.
Washington, D. C, April 30.
On tho lloor of the House of Con
gress, Thursday, Congressman Ainey,
in advocating parcels post and par
cels express, called attention to the
fact that the Census 'Report Indicated
that the American farmer Is fast dis
appearing. At the beginning of the
government ho constituted ninety-six
per cent, of the total population. In
1910 this had decreased to fifty-four
per cent., and during tho last twenty
years nearly every township in the
Fourteenth Congressional district
had lost from a fourth to a third of
Its population. He urged that con
servation of the American farm, and
the preservation of the American
farmer were of transcendent import
ance; whethor viewed from a social
or economic standpoint; that in this
was involved the solution of tho
high cost of living. In order to
maintain the farmer as a class ho
must bo privileged to participate, in
a measure, with tho opportunities
which invention and public legisla
tion were giving to other lines of ac
tivities, and to tho dwellers In the
city.
Transportation and good roads
were two Important means towards a
desired end, and the broadest par
cels post or parcels express measure
Is a necessity to the rural districts.
TESTING SEED CORN.
State College Experiment Station
Ready to (iivo Ijil'oiiiiation.
Prolonged rains In 'August and
September followed by a severe
early freeze damaged much seed
corn In Pennsylvania. All seed corn
should be given a germination test
as promptly as possible Seed that
does not give a satisactory germina
tion should not bo used. To uso tho
average seed corn of tho stato this
year without rejecting tho bad ears
would result iu a loss of about $C,
000,000 to Pennsylvania farmers.
Tho Pennsylvania Stato Collego
experiment station has just conclud
ed a test of 102 samples of seed
corn collected from 53 of tho G7
counties of Pennsylvania, six ker
nels froin ench ear.
An average or all tests shows 80. C
per cent, of tho kernels germinated.
By rejecting 2b3 bad ears from
every 1,000 tho remaining ears give
an avorago germination of 9C.5 per
cont. This is satisfactory and can bo
