In an attempt to -ahow that certain " variety of corn being grown in Cape May Caiunty were better adapted to our soil and climatic conditions, a "Neighborhood Variety Tent," was conducted i last season on the farm of Clinton S. p Urease,- Hayville, through the office of p Demonstration. 7 Twenty-semen "Samples of com were a collected from aa many different farm- | ■rs in' the county and two rows of each t, -ample were planted out side by side, p on May 25th. The corn was cut and husked and at a field meeting held on October 12th, o ' practically all of the farmers submitt- o 1 ing samples were in attendance seeing " I the Corn weighed that was grown from o their sample. v $?.

The results show that the variety of strain of corn Js the most important factor governing the production of corn per acre and should emphasize the importance of seed selection. UW. Schellenger, whose sample of 1 seed, yielded at the rate of 88.2 bushels of shelled corn per acre has been practicing careful seed selection for several years. Does it not pay? EXTENSION SPECIALIST FOR CANNING AND COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS. Miss M. Anna Hauaer. Extension Specialist in Home Economies and Domestic Science, addressed three meet- ! ings during her recent visit to Cape I May County . Owing to the weather conditions last Friday evening the meeting at Tuckaho«- Grange was cancelled. Two of these meetings were arranged for through the office of Farm Demonstrator. the third being a meeting of the ladies of the Cape May County Council for the Promotion of Household Arte. These "nTeetings all created a lot of 1 interest and as a result of her talks I Miss Hauser will return soon to give I "Canning of Fruits and Vegetables."' j The places at which Ca lining Demon- j strations will be carried on in the fu- j lore are as follows: Palermo. Court House. Stone Harbor. Goshen, Tuckalioe. About 160 ladies were in attendance at the three meetings and it is hoped number will be greatly increased at the coming demonstrations.

Samples of each yield "were weighed and hung up in a dry place, w eighed again to determine the moisture content; and sbelled to determine the proportion of oorn to coh. Unfortunately the mice got tnto several bags of the com so that the moisture contest could not1 be obtained in but a few samples. The following table will show that yield per acre of the different samples varies greatly. However all sam-* pies grew under the same conditions. lowest; jneld per acre being 38.1 bu. and the highest 88A bu., an increase of j per cent. Tne proportion oTcorn ' to cob varied from 77 A per cent to 87A cent.

f Hauler's assistance by writing to the. j t Farm Demonstrator. ( n t . Unfortunately and invariably due to a wrong impression of the meaning of ,f "Government Inspected Seed Potatoes" B the growers" of early potatoes in- this vicinity suffered much loss from the j diseases know-n as "Rosette" or "Little Potato" and potato "Black Leg." Many farmers in purchasing "Gov- j ernment Inspected Seed" thought they - were obtaining seed perfectly free from . the above mentioned disease, how- -j . ever, this was not the case since these seed were only inspceti-d for the disease a known as "Powdery Scab" which caused • much injury to the (citato crop in '' duction of fine seed potatoes. j "Certified" seed potatoes are potatoes I t inspected several times during the growing season for the various potato r diseases such as "Scab," -Rosette,'' 1 "Black Leg" and others and are free I - from any of the above mentioned dis- j f cases. f There is no cure for any of these j " I diseases of thp potato so that the steps ' y : to talce in preventing the loss in the f . potato yield due to such diseases is to ' I purchase "Certified" «eed. The cost per! ! I sack is -lightly higlo-r than for ordi- ■ " nary seed potato,--. However the yield v • The old saving that "An ounce of pre- I I vent ion is bettor than a pound of cure" i is certainly worth considering and is . by far tin- better way of keeping clear of Potato and other di-eases.
