The Roots of the Corn Plant.

Professor King, of the Wisconsin
Experiment station, has been conduct
ing some remarkable experiments ia
regard to the root growth of the corn
plant.
In order to ascertain the root growth,
it was necessary to invent an arrange
ment for getting out the entire mass
of root without breaking any Of them
off. To get this out whole, trench
was dug across the rows deep enough
to reach the bottom of the root growth,
leaving a block of earth containing the
roots Of the plant. The dirt was then
carefully washed out by force pump,
which, of course, left the roots just as
they were in the soil. These exami-
nations were made at different periods
of the growth of the plant.
In eighteen days after the seed was
put in the soil, the roots were twelve
inches below the surface, and had
spread laterally to a distance Of
eighteen inches. In twenty-seven
days after planting, the roots had sunk
to eighteen inches in depth, and later
ally had gone out twenty-four inches.
it. is easy to sec that these tender
roots cannot make this rapid growth
unless the soil conditions are just
right for them. They never could do
it on rough, hard land, and thus we
see the need of doing all we can to
prepare light, porous and warm sur
face soil.
But the most remarkable showing is
made by observations made at more
advanced stage. Professor King found
that, by the laying by stage, the roots
occupied the entire soil to depth of
two feet. When the corn was in full
tassel, the whole upper three feet Of
soil is occupied, and the small feeders
arc very near the surface. At the
time of maturity of the crop, it was
found that the roots filled space four
feet deep.
AS Professor King says "Nothing
could illustrate more forcibly than
these observations, how deeply and
broadly this great American food plant
is able to send it's roots foraging
thorugh the soil" Just think what
the effect is upon this necessary part
of the plant growth, when you 60

1t is economy these hot days to burn
wood instead of coal in cooking meals
it is also the part OF wisdom. Coal is
more costly and lasts long after the
meal has been prepared much to the
discomfort of the housewife, while the
wood makes quick fire and leaves nc
hot, smoldering embers to keep the
kitchen warm and uncomfortable
Wood is coming into use in Bessemer

coal now at all. The best of wood can
