CONTRASTS IN CORN FIELDS
Two Great Object essonTie Difference
35-hushcl Corn--:ural chooR Requirement.

The writer, in company with ProfeS-
sor o. D. Center of the university, saw
q great object lesson in corn culture
the other day upon the farm of w. Il
Rowe and son. c. \. Rowe, a the edge
of Jacksonville. 1t was such an object
lesson as high school boys ought TO
see in their study of agriculture. Pro
fessor Center said that he had mover
seen so large a field of corn so clean
of weeds IT might be said to be alb
solutely clean, for looking carefully all
the way across 20 acres the writer saw
TO more than a half dozen weeds That
was a crop of corn good to look at,
with very heavy growth, rich, dark
green color aug. Isl and large ears.
The Rowes admitted that it would
yield in the neighborhOOd of % bush
els, but Professor Center thought il
would make much nearer 90 bushels
A camera set upon the hedge fence
and turned upon this field would take
one of the best corn pictures possible
in Illinois; but if the camera. from the
same position, were turned upon the
field on the other side of the hedge it
would reveal poor and wccdy corn that
would yield less than Onc-half as much.
Now, what is the difference in these
two fields? w. Fl. Rowe attributed it
principally 10 the fact that he gave his
field two civilizations with a single horse
implement otter the usual time of lay
ing by" the corn. He quits cultivatmg
and go ahead and SDCnd 40 cents
more per acre and get a crop, while
he gets a very meager crop The
Rowes recognized the drouth cOndi.

ton and that it would be absolutely
necessary to keep a loose mulch on
the surface of the corn field, and kept
on going through the tall corn with
one horse. They have done this for
years, believing that it ordinarily adds
10 bushels per acre to the crop; but
this year it added much more.
Doubtless there are other reasons. 1t
is good ground on both sides of the
hedge. but every field of the Rowe
farm has been regularly enriched with
4 lCgrmc crop and the feeding of hogs
upon the land once every four years.
Then the thoroughness in preparing
the seed bed and cultivating the corn
has a meaning on the Rowe place rare
~ dreamed Of by the ordinary farmer
1t might be mentioned that this field
was also hood over-the 20 acres in
day by one man. He took four rows at
time and his job was a ''cinch," so
little had the cultivators left for him
to do.
But there was great disappointment
in this field last spring, if there isn't
any now 1t was soy bean land and
had been seeded early in the finest
condition, but when the corn appeared
il was found that the wire worms were
eating it up. To feed these worms,
the same rows were planted second
time very thickly with a drill, and on
The third day of June the present crop
Of corn was planted with the rows half
way between the rows of the first
pT1ntiur Tho ground had bopn SO VOL
worked that il was not necessary to
cultivate the corn until it was up six
inches or more when the original rows

Why these superior results? Prompt
Thorough work with plenty of push. Yes,

result is that rare quality known as

Queer Postomces.

Odd means OF collection of mail IN
various regions are still in vogue. At
FuInPSs. a little island off the coast of
England. there is set up what the Brit
fish call al pillar box" from which col
lections of mail can be made only
when the tide shall permit. notice to
which effect is posted above the box.
This result of the necessity of inven-
ton" came about by reason of the fact
that the place in question Is reached
by road from the town of Watering
only when the tide is very low.
There is curious postoffice in Cam
ada. 1t IS situated in Lake Wabi-
COON. Ontario. 1t consists of n wooden
box or trough fastened to pole stand
ing upright in a shallow portion of the
lake A steamer drops in this box
such letters as may be carried for that
region on her return voyage. and
canoe is sent out from the shore TO
collect them, at the same time leaving
the outgoing mail ready to be taken
up by the next vessel that passes out
ward.
The fishermen of the Grand banks
have often employed a peculiar sea
postoffice This in the form of an
open barrel dashed on raised plat
form of crossed spars attached to a
stationary buoy. Letters wrapped in
oilsllin are dropped into the barrel
by passing trawlers and collected by
others returning and rPposted on land
