It drapes the altar and the hearth. It

Above all, the call of Christmas is
“Peace on Earth.” In the present
grievous crisis of the world there is
significance in this call beyond that

called to read. The war has darken-

BUILDING BOOKS FOR FARMERS. |
The cultural requirements of seed
rice are practically the same as those
of market rice, with the exception, of
course, that more care should be
j given the former.

experience. \Vhile good seed will al-
ways be bought from private growers
who make a specialty of seed produc-
tion, it is often best, and money can
be saved, by raising a special patch
of seed rice for one’s own.
The seed plat should be in a choice
location where attention can most
easily be given it. New land, or land
that has laid out a couple of seasons
is the best. It should be plowed dur-
i ing the previous fall and winter at
good depth. The land should be
worked with a disk harrow and a
smooth harrow or clod crusher, since
this furnishes a uniform seed bed and
permits plants to merge from the
soil about the same time. Close watch
should be kept on the plants and the
dwarfs systematically picked out. This
can be done by watching the plants
as they approach the heading stage,
as it is easy to tell the hybrids and
inferior varieties. To get the best and
most valuable seeds, inferior plants book that every farmer will find in-
should be removed. As the plants
mature they should be inspected
daily. Special attention should be
given the seed plat as to watering
and weather conditions. In a small
field of this kind it is easy to keep
fresh water running on the field prac-
tically all of the time. Fertilizer, of
course, is valuable, but we have a
great deal to learn yet about fertiliz-
ing rice. Liberal use of the best fer-
tilizer proves a paying investment in
raising seed rice.
Some seed men plant their rows as
far as three feet apart, so that they
are able to get the very best results,
although thicker stands most times
do about as well.
When rice is grown for seed it is
not harvested until after the berry
is fully matured, so that the full
strength is in the germ. Nor should
seed rice be put through a thresher,
the process of which is often injurious
to the seed. Tn fact, the whole op-
eration of growing seed rice should
be done as much by hand as pos-
sible.
Most growers do not go to the ne-
cessary trouble to raise the best
grade of seed rice, but are willing to
pay $8.00 to $11.00 to get it from
specialists. By giving proper time
and attention one not only secures
splendid seed rice but is able to in-
crease the ^productiveness and ob-
tain better yields from season to sea-
son.—Rice Journal.

were over 500,000. The advertising

thousand dollars. Every effort is be-
