Color has long been a much-dis-
cussed point in the corn belt,
says the Homestead The white
and yellow lead and both have
their champions. Yet there is a pretty
general feeling among farmers that
the white, when of the best varieties
yields trif1e more than the best vel
low corn has yielded more than a
low varities. There are plenty of in
dividual cases, however, where vel
very good white variety, but so far as
known when a number Of experi-
ments have been made, and the re-
suits taken collectively, the white va
rieties gave about per cent larger
yields than the yellow varieties did
These experiments were at the expert
ment stations of seven corn growing
states, and all report a greater white
yield except one. where yellow yielded
on and one-half bushels, average
more per acre. 1t was noticeable that
white corn gave better returns in the
southern districts than yellow, while
further north the two varieties were
nearer equal. In all the trials more
yellow than white varieties were used
so that it was probable that a ten
dency was shown toward a more care
full culling of inferior white varieties.
at any rate practical farm trials have
universally resulted in what was
thought by the corn growers not a 5
per cent. gain for white corn of aver
age seed when pitted against yellow
or equally good qualities. yet as we
have said before there is a general
feeling that average white seed is a
trifie more productive than that of
average yellow, all other conditions be-
ing equal. Regarding the feeding
value OF the two the general opinion
of feeders favors yellow, although
they have not the results of thorough
tests to uphold their belief as have
those who claim larger yields for the
white, for all the experiment station
tests so far recorded. to our know
ledge, have found no difference in the
value OF each in the feeding yards
In spite of these tests and of the
results of chemical analysis, however,
the majority OF farmers and feeders
strongly believe that yellow corn has
more richness and is more heating
than the white, and because of this
belief there are feeders who paw a
small premium for yellow while others
will contract for yellow corn, leaving
the white out when it can be bought
for the same price, With mills it is
different. The miller wants a corn
that will make meal of the lightest
color and to this end white corn US
ually sells for from / to cents per
bushel more for that purpose and for
the purpose of making into hominy,
grits. etc.
Taken as a whole, however, the corn
that best serves the farmer of the
West is not sold in the form OF corn:
II is fed on the farm and sold I'm the
form of pork and beef and where this
is done. as Il is on nearly all the
farms, there is scarcely any choice TO
be made in actual practice between

white primary for April is for the pr
pose of nominating a repl esentatfve

very harmonious and the only discus

The fighting of insect and fungus
enemies is as important as any other
part of potato culture. The application
of an arsenical poison is the only re-
liable, inexpensive method for fight
ing the insect pests, and bordeaux
mixture is the only sure preventive
of the blight. AS soon as the potatoes
are three or four inches high, they
should be sprayed with bordeaux mix
ture and paris green or bordeaux mix
ture and lead arsenate. This should
be repeated as often as the plants
make five or six inches of additional
growth. When the danger of the Colo
RADIO beetle is passed, bordeaux mix
ture alone can be used. The spraying
should be continued as long as the
potatoes continue to make rapid
growth. To ward off the blights it is
necessary that each leaf be protected
so far as practicable with a coating
of copper.
Spraying is the most effective meth
cd of applying insecticides and fun
gicides. To obtain the best results the
material must be forced through
proper nozzle so as to make a very fine
mist. On small fields a force pump, a
hose, nozzle and a barrel for holding
the spraying mixture and a wagon
= carrying the above would consti-
tute the necessary spraying outfit
This form of an outfit can be used
not only for spraying potatoes, but
also used on fruit trees. In large fields
ten and twenty acres or more. it is
advisable to use an automatic spray
err In our practice we have found
those that spray four rows better than
where it is attempted to spray a larg-
er number at one time The VermOrel
is the most satisfactory spraying noz-
zle which we have used 1t throws a
finer spray than others and is on this
account easily clogged, and care must
be exercised that the spraying mix
ture is carefully strained.

C. w. r., Savannah, Gave note
what you say in reference to your
tomatoes shedding their blooms and
no fruit forming. 1t is evident there
was an abundance of nitrogen (am-
monia) in the soil. 1t is not so easy
to conclude that there was an absence
of the two mineral elements, especial
ly the one phosphoric acid. but it APP
pears to be indicated by the result
Tomatoes require fairly rich land, but
they rarely do well when MANFRED
with fresh stable manure. 1t alone
causes a rank growth of vine at the
expense of fruit. The tomato. to do its
best in bearing fruit must have a
good supply of mineral matter-potash
and phosphoric acid. This is supplied
by a mixture of acid phosphate and
kainit Cor hard wood ashes). Do not
put any more stable manure on this
plat. but only mineral fertilizer. We
always stake the vines or support them
in some way so that they do not lie
on the ground. There are various
ways of doing this.
Did you ever try the plan of setting
three plants in an 1s-inch triangle and
drive in a strong six or eight foot
stake in the center of the plants. Keep
the vines to the stakes by encircling
with a strong Irvine. Pruning off the
first laterals and later clipping the
end of the vines? A "hill' will often
times yield a bushel in this way.

A SECTION MASTERS ACCIDENT.
Columbus Ledger. AS result of a
terrible fall received while jumping
from a moving Central train, Mr.. j.
M Garrick a section master on the
Seaboard, has lain unconscious and
like one dead since Thursday night.
The accident occurred at Ochllee. Mr..
Garrick boarded a Central train a a
station south of Ochflee. The train
did not stop at that station and upon
reaching it, MIR. Garrick attempted to
jump from the platform of the train,
which was moving swiftly. He fell
and struck on his head with such
force that his body bounced like a
rubber ball. II was found that MIR.
Garrick was unconscious, his skull
having been crushed in at the top. Mr..
Garrick has failed to regain con-
seriousness and was brought to this
city and placed in the hospital, where
he has lain like one dead.
DANGER OF FLOOD IN ALTAMAHA.
Macon Telegraph: 1t is feared that
the flood in the Ocmulgee will reach
The forks and try to run into the AL
tamahtu at about the same dine the
flood in the Oconee reaches there, Both
rivers are as fun as they have been
in the history of the state, If reports
are correct, and in addition to this
fact, it is the first time within the
memory of the people that both floods
moved southwark at exactly the same
time. Heretofore one would get into
the Altamaha ahead of the other, and
thus avoid any great danger at Lum-
Der City, which is on the Ocmulgee
north of the forks. The counties of
Montgomery, Telfair Coffee, Appling
and Tattnall corner near the forks
and if there is a rushing together of
the waters at the same moment, all
trying to get into the Altamaha at one
time, those counties may have floods
such as they never heard of before. If
enc gets in ahead of the other, how
ever, the Altamaha will be able to
carry off that portion of the flood be-
fore the other can do any damage
there.

There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube gets inflamed you have a

and when 1t is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in.
flammation can be taken out and this

characteristics which Distinguish
This breed.


In general way the Red Polls close
ly resemble Dcvons, except they are
larger and mature quicker, says J. Nc
Lain Smith in Breeders Gazette. There
are the same general form, except the
head; the same color the same muscu-
lar habit and fine grained flesh, the
same active hardy disposition and
much the Same style. Red Polled breed
trs would say their cows are better
mixers, but this doubtless would de-
pend much on the selections.
As a rule Red Polls when fat should
be like Deyons, round rather than
square. The fat should be very evenly
lunches. Like the Devons also. some
strains are inclined TO be high at the
tail head. This ls doubtless an old
characteristic In both breeds, but Is
pretty well bred out I'm the best speci-
mems. IL probably does not detract
from real utility, either for milk or
beef but II Is not attractive, and |
should not care TO use bull OF that
style
In weight the Red Polls considerably
exceed the Deyons In steers under 3
years old and nearly equal any OF the
strictly beef breeds. The heaviest bull
at the last Chicago show was a Red
Poll. and the heaviest steer under 3
years old at the last London show was
of the same breed.
With all this the breed Is as hardy
and as healthy as the Devon, and that
Is saying they are as hardy as cattle
can be. They are very free from any
