Corn..How Mapy Ear. on a s,aILr

have seen stalk of corn bearing ten
ears. OF course this ninefold increase came
from selecting the seed at first of a stalk that
bore two good ears, then there would be q
few with three ears, and so on until the grand
result was reached. 1 know many farmers
say that if they can get one good ear off each
stalk they will be satisfied Well, such are
not very particular and will buy corn from n
neighbor's crib and plant the best OF his. OF
course, they get only an ordinary crop. Is not
this the reason that growing Indian corn has
become ouch poor and unpaying business
For my part, will let the idiots grow this
corn, and will purchase it in the fall for less
than 50 a barrel-Dr. q. Il. Needhanl,
Washington, D. g.
1t is often recommended to save seed-corn
from stalks bearing several ears but it would
require a series of careful experiments to de-
termine to a certainty whether more weight
of grain can be raised with corn bearing
more than one ear to a stalk than with
corn bearing only single ear to each plant
There are two or three kinds of pop.corn
bearing several ears to a stalk but none of
them will yield as much as the common corn
We have never seen proof that any variety of
corn bearing many cars on single stalk is
the most productive. 1t is question wheth-
er corn becomes moro productive by select
ing seed from many cared stalks we do not
say that it does not. Three ears of good
sized northern corn will weigh about one
pound. Planted tho usual thickness there
arc at least 10, 900 stalks of corn to an acre
II each stalk bore ten ears Of corn, which the
| doctor calls ninefold increase, would it be
just ninefold increase il each cob bore one
kernelO and all were of good size, there
would be about three pounds of corn to a
stalk, which gives with $1,000 stalks yield
of 40, 600 pounds to the acre, or allowing 20
pounds on the ear, to make bushel of
shelled corn, Gi3 bushels We would mako
a wager that there was not full acre in the
field from which that ten-oared stalk was
taken that would yield 60 bushels. Now let
US see how much one good ear of corn weigh
ing one-third of a pound, on each stalk, will
make on an acre having $1,000 plants 1t
makes 5000 pounds, or a little more than II
bushels, crop such as is rarely obtained
with any variety of corn.

a Farmer ON Matters Of Interest 20
Farmers,


Editors PhGnig: notice some of the ed
itorial fraternity alude to the passage of the
bill making the Commissioner of Agriculture
a cabinet officer as the work of political trick
sters, and not asked for by the farmers.
While II is true that many farmers think it
would be of no benefit to the country, there
are quite large class who think differently.
The matter has been before the National
Grange at several sessions, and resolutions
have been passed strongly urging upon Con-
gress the importance of making the Commits
sioner a cabinet officer, and O bill for this
purpose was before the House last year,
when lG2 members voted for it and 81 against
it, lacking only two votes of the necessary
two-thirds required to pass it. Tho measure
is of too much Importance to be met with
ridicule, weapon which has been welded
so vigorously against our department of agri-
culture ever since its organization. It is
doubtless true that the department was used
mainly as a political seed distributor previous
to the appointment of Gen. lie Duo as Com
missioner, but it is folly to say that no good
results have come from the department since.
What has been done to stimulate an interest
in the production of sugar is well worth the
cost of the department, and the efforts of
Gen. lie Due to introduce tho culture of the
tea plant, it is believed, will result in this
country growing its own tea. 1t is not for
the interest of the importers Of tea to have it

The Use OF POisOns in the Culture OF
Potatoes.

The Use Of POisOns in the Culture Of
Potatoes.
The potato-bugs are on hand again in full
force. Contrary to what was hoped from
their scarcity in the early part of the season,
they now appear in as large or even larger
numbers than in any previous year They
will be certain to destroy totally every field
of potatoes where they are allowed to have
their own way. In gardens or small patches
they may be picked by hand, or chickens by
starvation and a course of training, may be
made to devour them but tho only practical
way to save the potatoes in large fields is by
poisoning with Paris green or London pur-
pie. The latter is less expensive, and is said
to BIO equally effective It is soluble in wa
ter; Paris green is not. Whether tho use of
London purple is less dangerous from its sol
utility in water is a question. If there is any
possibility of the poison being taken into the
plant, it would be more liable to be absor bed.
On tho other hand, the poison of London
purple would soon DO diluted to such an ex-
tent as to render it harmless, while Paris green
may remain in the soil for long time and
retain its poisonous qualities. As farmers
usually apply enough Paris green to an acre
of potatoes to kill thousand men, in the
course of years, with annual applications, the
soil of single farm may contain Paris green
in sufficient quantity to kill all the inhabitants
of Windham county.
We have never been entirely satisfied that
the continued use of Paris green, in the guam
tity required for the destruction of the potato
beetle, is not attended with some danger from
its accumulation in the soil. 1t is question
which even chemists do not know how to de-
eide, for they disagree. In any case, potatoes
are not a necessity. People have lived at
least several thousand years without them,
and have used them as food only about $50
years. The tubers are now subject to various
diseases, and the vines to complete destruc.
ton by the bugs, for which there is no prac-
teal remedy except in the use of a virulent
poison. If these drawbacks to the culture of
the potato are always to continue, it would be
better for us to cease to use it, and try to find
substitute for it. But the force of habit is
so strong, even when the habit is nothing but
eating potatoes, that such thing can proba-
bly, never be as long as potatoes can be raised
for dollar or two per bushel by filing the
soil with Paris green.

Senator Malone, chairman of the Senate
committee on Agriculture, having asked Sec
rotary Folger IL the Cabinet wanted the Com
missioner of Agriculture to be one of them,
and received decidedly negative reply, it is
expected that the report Of the committee
will be against the bill. Tho inquiry was re-
ferred to Mr. Nimmo of the Bureau Of Sta
tistics, who wrote out an elaborate opinion
against making the head of the Agricultural
Department a member OF the Cabinet. It
is thought that this will decide the fate of the
bill in the Senate
