a certain extent. but beyond that they
become a barrier to plant progress
Wheat will not stand more than one
per cent in the soil. and Kentucky blue
grass still less. When wheat is sown

Alkalies In IN increase the densi-
ties OF the aters. and the young
plants die OF thirst. because the soil
absorbs the water from their roots in
stead Of the roots absorbing water
from the soil. There is usually more
alkali at the surface than at the depths
ut which the roots feed, and 1t Is often
the case that a crop will live ON land
containing an amount OF alkali that
would prevent the termination OF its
seeds. Thus alfalfa is an excellent
crop for moderately alkaline soils. be-

The Indiana Experiment Station
sends out this summary OF the results
obtained in their corn growing expert
ments thus far:
The greatest average yields of both
ears and stalks have been obtained
when the stalks stood IL to II inches
apart
Thick planting has reduced the size
Of the ears and the per cent OF grain.
Thick planting has In dry seasons
produced the heaviest yield Of stalks
and the lightest yield OF ears
The yields OF corn from cultivation
one, two and three inches deep have
been about equal.
Cultivation four inches deep has
considerably reduced the yield Of corn.
Heavy applications of manure and
fertilizers have not proved profitable
in continuous corn culture.
In continuous corn culture the effect
of a heavy application of fresh horse
manure has not been exhausted in Is
years.
Cultural implements differing much
soil have produced nearly the same
yields OF corn.
OF the several cultural implements
under trial, preference is given to the
spring-tooth cultivator for soils SINH
lar to that OF the station farm.
Hill and drill paintings OF corn have
produced practically the same average
yields.
