Besides testing corn to see if it will grow and warning farmers of the poor condition of seed corn this year , the Commercial Club of Omaha has made a test which shows the result of freez ing corn which contains a good deal of moisture. The result shows that even some of the corn standing in the fields , supposed to be the best seed corn Nebraska has this year , may be worthless for seed. Ten ears of corn were selected which were shown by tests to be strong. Every kernel tested had good sprouts and a strong root system. A government expert at the Omaha Grain Exchange tested them to learn the moisture. It was less than 16 per cent. Then these ten good ears were soaked for various lengths of time and after the water dried into the corn , they were again ested to find out how much moisture they contained. Those soaked 5 hours had 22 per cent ; 6 hours 27 per cent and 8 hours 30 per cent. All were put into a relrigerating plant where the air was twelve degrees below zero. After 76 hours exposure , the : , corn was again tested. Of one hundred kernels from the eais which had 22 per cent moisture , only 28 germinated ; while but 26 kernels in one bundled from the ears with 27 per cent mois ture showed signs of life , and but 21 grains in one hundrd taken from the ears containing 80 per cent moisture sprouted. This test shows that corn con taining more than 22 per cent moisture cannot stand freezing tor even a short time without killing a large percentage of the kernels and mukii g the ears worthless for ceed. It is becoming more and more evident every day that the Dem ocratic campaign of the present year is to be based largely upon misrepresentation , not to use a term more harsh. Consequently the Republican effort must be largely devoted to correcting these Democratic raisrepresenta- lions and promulgating the truth about the policies of the Repub lican party in general , and the new tar riff law and the present adtmnistation in particular. Heavy Loss. Tlie Farmers of this Stale , it Is reported will lose $13,000,000. This state stands to lose a fortune this year on its corn crop more than $13,000,000. Tests of seed com in other states show the seed is unfit to plant. lu many spots in Iowa only eight ears in one hundred can actually produce good roots for the corn. Nebraska seed corn is said to be much better. It dried out last fall and was gathered before srow filled it with moisture. But people of Nebraska cannot afford to tnke a chance , The seed corn should be tested thoroughly before it is planted. The state planted last year 6,461,680 acres in corn. It will plant the same or more this year. Twelve good ears of corn will plant an acre. Tests made show that at least two ears will not grow , In some sections only six ears show they are capable of of producing a strong corn plant , which will give the farmer good ears of corn or even average ears. If two ears fail to grow , one- sixth of the corn land in Ne braska 1,076,946 acres , will 'be idle this year. That means the state will produce about 26,923- 633 bushels of corn less than the land should grow. That means the farmers will lose $13,481,816 by failing to make that amount when the land is there and the labor has to be done whether corn Jails to grow in one-sixth of the hills or not. Taking this as a rule and figuring the loss to the farmers of this county as two ears out of every twelve , they will lose 16 i per cent of their crop , which when figured at the minimum loss for the entire county will be $430,437 or per acreage of corn each farmer has his loss will be 52.03 per acre planted. This county ranks second in the corn crop both in acreage and production , of the state and this year should rank first in pro duction even if we can not rank first in the number of acres planted.

By the end of the brief minute taken to read these paragraphs the nations of the civilized world will have struck three million matches. This is the average for every minute of the twenty-four hours of the day. Seven billion is the enormous number for the entire year , and those living under the American flag are said to be responsible for the consumption of one-half of this amount. The importance of the industry which turns out the little splint ers of wood tipped with sulphur or some other material ignited by friction is only recognized when the average smoker tries to contemplate his predicament if he had to go back to the time when he had to coax a spark from a tinder box. Of course , the answer is , he would smoke a great deal less because of the difficulty in getting a light , or else , on the other hand , smoke continuously in order to keep alive the end of his stogie or Havana , pipe or cigarette , as the case might be. Small and insignificant'as it is , the match demands perhaps as much attention in the choice of the wood going into itsmanufact ure as any other forest product. Only the choicest portions of the best trees are suitable. Sapwood , knotty or cross-grained timber will not do. Instead of being a by-product of other articles of manufacture the little match is turned out at hundreds of mills over the country where the by-product are bulky objects like doors , sash , shingles , siding , posts , and cord-wood. The pines linden , aspen , white ceder , pop lar , birch , and willow are the most suitable match timbers. The match makers-not matrimonial menial kind are already finding that the amount of choice timber available is dwindling. Forest conservation , if applied to the holdings of the match companies , like it is on Uncle Sam's National Forests in the West , will do much to make the supply suffici ent for a longer number of years than would be the case if the old-time wasteful lumbering methods of a few years ago should continue. The rapid in crease in stumpage prices is one of the chief factors in encourag ing the wise use of the forests where suitable match timber is available.
