THE COLOR OF CORN.

White Varieties Make Larger Yields Than
the Yellow Kinds.
During the past two or three years
there has been more or less discussion
with respect to the influence of color
upon the yield of corn. At the various
experiment stations in the corn-grow-
ing states there have been something
like 300 tests with nearly 500 varieties,
In which the relation of color to yield
has been observed. The general av-
erage of all these tests shows that The
white varieties make larger yield by
about 2h bushels than the yellow va
rieties. At six out of seven stations
the highest yielder was the white VA
riety, and of the 35 varieties named as
giving the best yields at the different
stations "a were white and only seven
were yellow, the others being red. This
does not mean that every white variety
Is better than every yellow one, but 1t
does afford ground for the belief that on
the average white corn is more pro-
life. With respect to feeding value.
there is from the standpoint of scientific
analysis no difference between white
and yellow corn, but on this point chem
istry Is at variance with the opinions OF
good many practical feeders.-Farn,-
ers' Union.

Directions for the Use of Tobacco Dust

Directions for the Use of Tobacco Dust
for Destructive Insects.
reader asks me whether tobacco
dust should be applied TO vines when
they are wet with dew or when they
are dry. This moves me to say that the
tobacco dust, or the bone meal, or the
mixture of both, is not Intended as a
coating for the leaves, which would
make them poisonous or unpnlatable,
but as covering for the soil, that will
make the atmosphere very uncomfort-
able for all insects and worms. like
to have the material remain dry and
dusty as long as possible. In that case
1t has more thorough effect on bugs
and beetles that have hard shells. The
wet tobacco, or tobacco tea, or even
The fumes of wet tobacco, are very
unwholesome to the .oft-bodied insects,
worms, etc. I find that cucumber
beetles do not like to work in dust,
md least Of all in tobacco dust. When
put this latter inch deep Ground melon
or cucumber plants, the yellow-striped
beetle promptly takes its departure and
will stay away as long as the tobacco
a strong tobacco smell.
Lea me repeat, too, that this same
waste material is one of our best and
cheapest general insecticides. We can
use it both under glass and in open air.
By all means keep a good supply of it
on hand. Possibly you can get sweep
Ings from near cigar factory, or you
may buy the material by the barrel
al about $3.50 or three dollars. 1t will
last you for years and help you to keep
the premises clear of the various pests
that prey upon your crops and animals.
4. you scatter tobacco dust by hand or
with bellows, over your lows of peas,
just at nightfa'l, you can kill the slugs
that are so often eating all the lower
foliage off and greatly damage the crop.
Or IL you dust it in the same way over
your currant and gooseberry bushes,
when infested with worms, you will
quickly see the worms disappear. In
the same way you can quickly kill all
the ieaf-eating worms and slugs on
your trees and bushes everywhere. The
tent caterpillar and the fall web-worm,
and NIL other caterpillars on trees and
plants, give up the ghost within few
minutes after coming in contact with
tobacco dust. And besides all this, to-
baccc dust is worth about what il costs
as a fertilizer. We can also control,
in q measure, at least, the most un-
manageable pests of our gardens, name
ly, the flea beetle and the cabbage mag
got. But In order To make thorough
work. in Kidding the plants of these
pests, we have to be very liberal in the
use of the tobacco dust. For instance,
II we throw good, big handful into
the heart Of the cabbage plant or cauli-
flower plant, or on n choice Seeding po-
tato. we may be quite sure that the flea
beetles will leave. for time at least,
and if we apply the same quantity TO
the stem of cabbage Or caulifower
plant, we may be sure the maggots will
not flourish there for awhile.-Practi-
