Varieties Of Corn.
Something About the Kinds
Found Most Satisfactory
at the Virginia Station.
From Progressive Farmer.

pldntSu OH me StaIlOn platS
April 80, 1905. They matured
from September 4lh to October
25'h. Early Leaning ripened in
1913 days. This is yellow corn
which is well adapted to almost
any section of the State. Boone
County White, an improved
strain from Indiana, matured in
1872 days; Virginia Golden Dent
in 1872 days; Hickory King in
l56 days; Cookies Prolific in 175
days. Our experience with Vir.
giuia and Western grown seed
indicates that the climate has q
determining influence on the
shape and character Of the grain.
Our climate does not favor the
development of a long deep
grain with rough top so charac-
teristic of the Western corn.
This indicates very clearly that
Virginia farmers must undertake
the selection and improvement
of strains of Western corn for
themselves and that they can
not use the Western grown prod
uct, except possibly for founda-
ton stock. These varieties of
corn were planted in checks
1916 inches apart in each direc
ton, which gave 4 900 hills per
acre and 5000 stalks.
The Importance of selecting
corn carefully and using stan
dard varieties was shown by the
fact that there were only 7.5 per
cent of barren stalks in Blount's
Prolific as compared with 1915
per cent in Virginia Ensilage.
There was 16 6S percent of bar
rem stalks in Boone County
White and Hickory King; 1880
percent in Virginia Golden Dent
and 20 percent in Leaning.
Boone County White led in
yield with 80 35 bushels; Vir-
Glnia Golden Dent was second
with 43 so bushels; Cookies
Prolific third, with 1892 bush
ell; Hickory King, fourth, with
~ 85 bushels; BIount's Prolific,
with 1875 busheI-; johnson
County White sixth, with 81 85
bu'heIs, and Leaning seventh,
win 3731 bushels.
These are some Of the best
varieties as revealed by one
y ar's Investigations, and it is a
question Of such importance to
the majority of our farmers that
the work will be pushed vigor.
ously this year. When it is re-
membered that the yield of these
twenty-six varieties grown side

Why Farmers Should Read.
fern Farm Magazine.

student. Few countries In the
world have such an excellent
agricultural press as is found in
the United States, and this is one
reason why our farmers are not
ed the world over for their pro-
gressive methods and l&thelr high
average Intelligence. No farmer
can afford to be without a good
agricultural paper, for it brings
to his home each week the latest
and best information about farm
ing, which is at best complicat-
ed subject. There is great body
of scientists at work in this cOun-
try studying the problems o!
chief concern to the farmer, and
how shall he know the results of
their efforts except Through the
information brought to his door
by his agricultural paper?
A large experience in institute
work confirms the writer in the
opinion that the most progressive
and up. to. date farmers, and
likewise those who are most sue
cessfuI from purely financial
standpoint, are those who read
and think and study intelligently.
1t is quite a simple matter to
control many of our worst in
sects and fungus pests if the
work Is undertaken intelligently.
Yet we lose millions of dollars
annually from various causes
which are practically under the
control of the farmers. 1t is ma t.
urally surprising that such should
be the case in this day of modern
and successful journalism, and
vet it is surprising to know how
comparatively few Of our farm.
ers take an agricultural paper
and read it aud profit by the in.
struction contained therein.
The farmer should also read
the bulletins of his state expert
ment station, for they contain
much information of value to him
and cost him nothing, during the
long winter evenings there is
plenty Of time to CLEAN much in.
formation that can be put to
practical and profitable use in
every. day life on the farm dur.
ing the busy hours of summer
when labor and time are both at
a premium.
Tnc farmer should devote a
part of his leisure time to map.

will enable him to preserve and

{ system Of crop rotation fertility
Is conserved, because one crop

roofing leguminous crop should
follow the more exhaustive crops
like corn, cotton and tobacco.
The land should be given rest
by seeding it down to grass for
at least two out Of every five
years. The legumes should be
made TO supply humus and nitro
gen to the soil at a minimum of
cost.
The farmer, to be successful,
must first of all understand that
