There is another system of planting
corn commonly practlced in the west
called listing. This [ call lazy mans
plan. for 1 have never yet been able to
see the least thing in favor of this plan.
When I talk to farmers who are follow
ing this system they often tell me that it
is the only plan by which corn can be
grown In their section. Should l become
convinced that this statement Is cor
rect. l should certainly never live in
any such section.
l have never met with but one other
system of corn planting that seemed so
shiftless as this, and that is a system
called grating. Some years ago l was
in a section where it was stated that
some farmers follow the practice or walt
ing until planting time, then go INTO the
field. pull UP the last years stalks, drop
the seed In the hole thus mace cover
with the foot and after the corn was up,
then pillow. [ thought at the time that the
matter was a huge joke. but last spring
wes In another section of the same state
AT corn-planting time and found farmers
following this practice, and in talking
to them they said the plan was what
they called grating | failed to see
where the graft came in unless it was a
graft upon the soil, getting something
for nothing.
If possible, the soil should be dry and
warm when the corn Is planted. 1t should

ical nlant a tender annual and that 1t

Smelling the Ears.


When we have our ideal ears selected,
then shell off both ends. IF the corn
has been bred up and well selected. an
inch off at each will answer. or bring us
to where the grains are of uniform size.
This is very important matter. for ii
will frequently happen that an ill-shaped
grain from the butt end, If shelled and
put in the planter will get cross-wise.
catch and hold the plate and a hill may
be jumped. These grains often cost the
farmer from one to three, or, il very
careless hand is on the planter. even
more ears of good corn. This largely
accounts for so many missing hills in our
fields Of corn. Another objection to the
butt end grains is. that often water may
settle around the base OF the ear, and
these grains become more or less dam
aged. Here is another reason why it Is
always advisable in making our selections
of seed to pick the ears that point down.
I cannot take space here to treat on the
small grains at the tip end. only to say,
sheA them off and feed to the pigs.
The next thing in order Is to weigh
100 pounds of our ;select ears. then she'll
Weigh the cobs and shelled corn separ-
ately. when we should have at least S6
per cent shelled corn and not over IA per
cent cob. This test by weight can be made
either before OF after the tips are re-
moved. and prefer after, for we should
have the full Sc per cent seed corn. and
wien my seed corn falls below this,
know that something is wrong, either in
the selection of seed used, want of
soil fertility. cultivation or with the sea-
son. The cause. whatever 1t may be.
should be located and avoided the next
season, If possible.
Before closing this chapter I want to

Splendid Program. n

DIR. Butler. the PASTOR Supt. z.
M. Law and other workefs of the
Sunday School of the First Bap-
tist church, arranged a Parents
Day Rally last Sunday morning,
setting the attendance figure at
900 or over. The results Of their
effort were gratifying in the ex-
treme. and surpassed their most
sanguine expectations. Three hun
dred and fifty enrolled students
and fifty visitors, who took part in
the class work, were present, and
in addition a large number Of visi-
tors who did not sit with the class
es. A collection of $50 was taken.
The Sunday School now has an en-
ronment Of 400, which is a net
gain of fifty as a result Of the rally.
The large church was crowded
with adults as we'll as children and
presented an inspiring scene. The
most excellent program, which has
heretofore been published in the
Eagle, was carried out with great
pleasure and profit. Supt. Law
and his co-workers are to be con-
graduated upon the success Of the
rally.
