This new corn has been before the public for three 
years and thoroughly tested throughout the United States 
and Canada in comparison with all other varieties of 
sweet corn, and particularly with the once popular Golden 
■ ■■ . — Bantam. It has been pronounced superior to all others. 
:>l rl&yW The most particular attention has been paid to the 
quality, for earliness and great size would count for 
nothing without this crowning virtue. It is because, of 
the extreme tenderness, combined with that exquisite rich 
sugary flavor that the Golden Giant has become the 
standard of perfection for sugar corn the world over, 
and when you consider that its admirers report that it is 
one to two* weeks earlier and two to three times as large 
and better in quality than its own parent, the Golden 
Bantam, you may lie sure it has well earned the title 
"The New Master of the Fields.” 
De I.ue's Golden Giant excels all other early varieties 
in size, productiveness and quality and all the late varieties in quality and early 
matunty.he o)ie cQrn for the llome or market gardener who wants the greatest 
amount of highest quality corn in the shortest period of time from the smallest piece 
of land. 
THE OTHER FELLOW’S OPINION 
Mr P P R savs* Boston, Mass., April 27, 1917. 
’ ‘ "I have "had a great many vears in farming and never in my experience have I seen a 
corn that produces such large well-formed ears, and a corn which was as juicy, tender and 
mV P \V B H : Robinson, 111., September, 1919. 
•I distributed the corn among several of my customers and the experience from all of 
them was the same_that the corn ripened about two weeks earlier than, any of the rest; 
that it was better than the Golden Bantam or any other that was raised around here.” 
Mr W II H : Winnipeg, Canada, December 3, 1919. 
"Mv friend Dr.-. and I found your Golden Giant corn a howling success. The 
best corn bv a long wav in everv respect that we ever had. There was more growth from 
„ n « seed of your eorn than from five seeds of the Golden Bantam which we had. The growth 
was something wonderful—quite a few ears had eighteen and twenty rows.”

COMBINES HIGH QUALITY WITH FIRMNESS 
De Due's Judith is a long season, very productive, wonderfully flavored, sweet and 
iuicy strawberry of beautiful form and so firm as to allow of being dropped four feet 
from the hand to the floor without injury. The plants are vigorous and healthy, 
having perfect blossoms aud making an abundance of strong runners so they can be 
rapidly multiplied. 
Just as De hue’s Golden Giant Sweet Corn excels among other varieties of sweet 
corn, so does De Luc’s .Judith Strawberry surpass in excellence other varieties of 
strawberries both for the home and the market garden.

THE DE LUE EXPERIMENTAL FARM 
The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
The Problem of Rural Recreation 
The Contrast of the City. —-Last 
Fall it was my privilege to visit in an 
apartment in one of our largest cities. 
About eight o’clock I noticed the apart- 
r M All |1|M| ments grow dark oue after the other— 
I there were 1G—until ours was the only 
L ] e ft lighted. “Curious,” said I to 
my city friends. “But I always thought 
city folks were late to bed, and here it’s 
lights out at eight.” “To bed,” said she, 
laughing; “rather to the movies, to the 
dauees, to anywhere, just so it’s to go.” 
And I noticed the same thing happened 
every night. Then there was a curious 
feeling came over me, a sort of resent¬ 
ment, whether just or unjust. For back 
down on the farm I have watched the 
lights go out about 8 :30 or 9 in one 
home and another for seven days in the 
week, four weeks in the month. 12 months 
the year, and I know the folks had

Meeting the Day’s Work— At any¬ 
where after 10:30 1 watched the happy 
chatty group come home and enter this 
same city apartment or perhaps there 
would be a lad gaily whistling, taking 
big. long strides, or two or three talkative 
girls, and the next morning about 7:30 
or 8 I saw these same apartments give 
forth their share of workers, and 1 no¬ 
ticed they stepped out quickly, eagerly, 
as though they were glad to meet the 
day. Down on the farm there are folks 
who wake up with a dull dread of an¬ 
other day’s work, just like the day be¬ 
fore, just like the day after. Not that 
they hate the work, only there’s an old 
rhyme that tells about all work and no 
play making .Tack a dull boy. Which 
brings us back again to the question as 
to why the farm folk do not go oftener 
in search of recreation that brightens and 
encourages and makes the step quick and 
light. I rather think it is because they 
are too physically tired to prod them¬ 
selves up to go—always provided there 
is anything within reach to go to. And 
why should they be so much more tired 
than city folks? Because it has taken 
the combined strength of the farmer and 
his family to get a home and a living 
from the soil. Something is wrong and 
he knows it. Labor has forsaken him ; 
his children are bound cityward. 
Country Pleasures. —There is is not 
much that I enjoy after a hard day’s 
work on the farm better than my own 
fireside, a good book or some good music 
on the victrola, or in the Summer a porch 
pillow or hammock and the symphony or¬ 
chestra of the cricket and katydid baud, 
with occasionally the whip-poor-will as 
soloist. Our never-failing electric display 
of (In' million lights of the firefly rivals 
any city park. But there are also times 
when a sort of lonesomeness comes over 
me and I wish for something different. 
I get tired of my own thoughts, my own 
work, my own plans. I would like to 
know what Tom. Dick, and Jennie are 
doing, not by reading it, but by talking 
with them. I would like to discuss my 
own little succeesses and failures, and hear 
theirs. I would like to catch a glimpse 
of the city recreations, just as city folks 
like to come out of here for a change, so 
that I can have new courage, new ideas 
to give to my own daily tasks. As for 
the young folks, the bright “up-and-doing” 
kind, they must have recreation or they 
will not stay on the farm. And for two 
long years have we given our ’“up-and- 
doing” young folks to the city’s industries. 
We need them here. We have business, 
chemistry, engineering, mechanics, biol¬ 
ogy, sociology, daily labor, and what 
have we not, to suit any talent. And, 
above all, we have health and work under 
the open shop. 
The Jaded Mind. —Perhaps the city 
man gives too much. lie gives too much 
really to enjoy recreation. A country 
and a city woman were discussing a 
movie show: “Did you like it so well?” 
said the city woman. “I didn’t think it 
very good. Somehow, the shows lately 
aren’t as good as they used to be. Aud 
the parks are the same old thing, and 
you hear the same music, and there’s no 
place to go for a good time.” "Any show 
pleases me,” said the country woman, 
“and it is a real treat just to walk down 
your big avenues and look into the store 
windows and see the pretty clothes on the 
folks.” “It isn’t much pleasure if you 
can’t buy them,” said she of the city, 
while her country cousin answered: “you 
can’t buy the whip-poor-will or the smell 
of new-mown hay, but you can enjoy 
them just the same.” And so it is that 
country folk have learned to enjoy things 
buying. 
Selfish Attitude. —But. after 
alone is a selfish life. The Cre¬ 
ator gave us each some talent, and lie 
did not mean for us to bury it, but to use 
it in service to our fellowman. Aud we 
can’t do it if we withdraw into our own 
little family farm home and forget how 
Neighbor .Toni's is getting along or that 
Brown’s boys have both left him with 
the farm to run and gone cityward, or the 
Davis girl eloped with the good-for-noth¬ 
ing picture agent, all because we did not 
pull ourselves out of our narrow, satisfied 
corner and make it our business to see 
that there was a little sane recreation in 
our neighborhood. Do you know there 
is a young woman in our neighborhood 
who is a stranger? She has one little 
girl .and lately a little boy. She lias been 
here a year, and I’ll wager not. more than 
three of the neighbor women have been 
in her home. I am guilty.too, although 
T know how long the days are waiting for 
a little new life to come.
