On. corn the prosperity Of the United
States depends in larger measure than
it does upon any other single article.
The State of Illinois-the greatest corn
producing State in the Union--alone pro-
duced during 1902 a great deal more than
half as much corn as the whole of Eu
rope-namely. 264, 0S7 ,431 bushels as
compared with 422 $4,000 bushels. The
total production of South America, At
RIGA and Australasia was not much more
than half of that of Illinois.
The value of the 1903 crop was esti-
mated by the Department of Agriculture
at close on q billion dollars, but that was
only the direct value of the crop when
harvested and sold or awaiting sale in
the farmers hands, 1t took no account
Of the many other uses to which corn
is put For example. the live stock in
dustry of the United States, which, with
all its countless ramifications, is by far
the greatest industry of its kind in the
world, is very largely dependent on the
corn crop. 1t has been estimated that
over 100000 sheep and 12,000,00 beef
steers are fattened in the great corn belt
which has Springfield, ILL.,, for its cen
ter. And then there are chickens, hogs
and dairy cows innumerable.
Illinois corn last year was worth more
than 800, 00,000-about one-tenth the
value of the crop, and about $50 for
every man, woman and child in the State
Iowa came next with a crop worth over
SS7 100000. That is more than the ma
tional revenue of either Austria, Hun
gary. China, Canada, Belgium, or the
whole British colonies, excluding Can
ada, India and Australia. 1t far exceeds
the combined revenue of Sweden, Swift
zerland and Norway.
The State of Illinois gets far more
money for its corn crop than the COM
bined revenue of all the Latin-American
governments except the four most impor-
tant ones-Mexico, Chilli, Argentine and
Brazil. Take the sixteen sovereign re-
publics of Hayti, Santo Domingo, Sal
vador, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guate,
H,ala, Nicaragua, Colombia, Venezuela,
Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bo-
livia, Cuba and Panama, and you will
find that their national revenues do not
exceed $70000,000 annually Illinois
gets $50, 100000 more for her corn crop

With many fruit growers there Is
an unreasonable prejudice against set
ting trees in the fall, yet, in many sec
lions, this work can be done to much
better advantage than in the spring.
There is no fruit tree but the peach
that cannct be planted with success
in the fall, at least in all localities ex-
cept, perhaps. the very cold North.
Most men have more time to prepare
the soil in the fall can set the trees
properly, have no wet ground to con-
tend with and have time to stake
them and mound up about the base for
winter protection. Then, too, nursery
men are not so busy in the fall as In
the spring and are likely to have
better selection Of varieties as well as
Of specimens, and they will always
give the buyer good value for his
money so as to get the trees off their
hands and not be obliged to care for
them in the winter Most small i.uit
plants can also be set with safety in
the fall, and both trees and plants fall
set will start of and make a growth
in the spring before trees could be
planted at that season.

One reason why some spring sect
ing fails is that blowing sometimes
makes the soil too loose and robs It Of
moisture, and then it brings TO the
surface material that is not friendly to
tiny roots of young grass and clover.
1t needs surface soil that has been cx-
posed to air and sun, and where or
ganic material has become well rot
ted. The disc win sometimes At land
better for seeding than blowing. 1t
leaves the soil solid, except at the sur
face, moisture is held, and the surface
can be made fine and compact.

The Dust Mulch.

1t is but 8 few years since the sub
ject of the dust mulch for the CONVEX
sion of the moisture in the soil has
been heard of, yet to-day those who
have practiced it thoroughly under
stand its value. The theory is simple
one when once explained and under
stood. As the moisture evaporates
from the surface of the soil other mois-
ture from below takes its place. The
condition Of the pores connecting the
upper soil with the lower soil regu-
lates the rapidity with when the mois-
ture is drawn from the soil by evapor-
alton; hence, any dry blanket that may
be placed between the atmosphere and
the damp soil checks evaporation. We
know this when we use straw, hay or
leaves for mulch, and the same thing
is accomplished by fine soil mulch
kept dry because it is loose and fine,
and necessitating restirring after a
rain to get the looseness and dryness.
That is ali there is to the dust mulch,
and it is SO simple and easy to under
stand that the wonder Is it was not
thought Of years before it was.
