Corn Is kInu,

Or all the crops we raise in the
United States corn is king. The wheat
plant has the widest distribution. 1t
grows underneath the equator and
shows a scant green heritage up IN
the land of the midnight sun. It
fiourishes in damp England and dry
Egypt. on the lowlands and up to
the snow line of the mountain tops
1t was the first cereal to be changed
by the careful work of man from
rank weed to wholesome grain. The
modern wheat, indeed, may well be
called the symbol of civilization, and
the chosen cereal of the world. But
this stately maize, this Indian corn
belongs to our own America, and is
our own national pride. 1t was here
long before the white man stepped
upon the rocky shores of the New
World and without it he would have
persisted for lack of food. Native to
tropical America, 1t was brought
north by the wandering red men, un
til now 1t grows from Mexico to Idaho
from Minnesota to Connecticut. The
beautiful, yellow tasseled plant has
long been the subject of religious
generation and legendary folklore
From Florida to Montana the corn
In the ear" dance was celebrated tc
give thanks to the gods for the gift
Of corn to mankind.
Many and beautiful are the legends
of the maize. AS the angel came tc
wrestle with Jacob, in the Hebrew
story, SO in the folklore OF the Illine
we hear how once there came 6
spirit, night by night, to wrestlt
with the young chief. When he hat
almost conquered him. the spirit van
ished, saying: BE dauntless! 81
strong!" Three nights did they con
tend together for the mastery. OF
the third night the spirit fell, defeat
ed, and cried out: well done, thot
mani" And from the grave OF thu
vanquished spirit then grew the plant
mondamin, or Indian corn, with soft
shining leaves, yellow, noddini
plumes and silken hair.

Enemies Of the Squash.

To keep bugs away from the young
plants cover the hills not infested
with wire netting, burying all edges
under the soil. else they Will get
under them sure.
The squash is subject to flea beetles
and yellow and black striped bugs and
these do not like clean cultivation, SO
burn all rubbish after getting of the
crop. Examine the vines twice day.
The bugs gather constantly.
Better plant more seed than are
properly developed for emergency
cases OF destruction by bugs.
Kerosene emulsion will drive bugs
from their cover SO they can be killed
and that is about the surest practice

A Tanning Mil Pays.

Every farm should have tanning

seed In all small grain crops, to say
nothing OF the foul weed seed that

is the only certain way to get good
