The strength OF a child.

1t is surprising to find how few parents
know the great strength giving qualities
of good oatmeal. Most of them think
of it as a food for the sturdy Scotch or
the brawny Englishman, and overlook
its value as food for children. Every
now and then a mother will take to feed
ing her children on Quaker Oats and
will be astonished at their improvement
in strength and vigor. Of course, she
tells her friends, and they prove Il for
themselves, but every mother in the
country should see that her children are
strong and vigorous. Plenty of Quaker
Oats, eaten often. will do it.
Put up in two sizes. the regular pack
age l0c, and the large family size Csc.
which is more convenient for those who
do not live in town.
Don't miss = day; eat Quaker Oats
every morning for breakfast

was quickly adopted by the whites, and
in the chronicles of the pilgrims at
New Plymouth it is set out that in
1921: "Accordingfto the manner of the
Indians, we manured our ground with
herring, or rather shads, which we
have in great abundance, and take
with ease at our DOORS You may see
in one township 100 acres set with
these fish, every acre carrying 1000 of
them, and an acre thus dressed will
produce and yield as much corn as
three acres without fish,"
With wonderful rapidity maize
spread over Europe and Asia, where
it was quickly known by such local
names as Italian corn, Roman wheat,
Turkish corn, Indian wheat, Sicilian
wheat, Barbary wheat, Spanish wheat,
Guinea and Egyptian wheat. In fact,
it became so much at home there that
many disputes have arisen as to it's
real country of origin.
Since the American eXperimentalists
began in earnest to improve maize it's
advance in yield and quality has been
extraordinary. An authority describes
507 distinct varieties and 266 syno-
nyms. The name comes from mahiz,
which the natives called the plant at
Hayti, where Columbus first saw it.

Rules for a Corn Grower
J. w. Minis, successful Iowa corn
grower and a member of a firm that
has developed valuable variety of
corn, gives the following rules for the
guidance of the man who would get
hnct in Wi
In our thirty years of practical OBJ
servation and experiment as to best
methods to secure the largest yields
of the finest corn, we summarize
few of the most important:
First. Strive to get your soil into
condition of fertility that will be
able to produce not less than fifty to
100 bushels per acre. This can be
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-05-01

The varities most commonly grown
are the dent, the flint, the pop and
sweet corn. 1t is several years since
corn took it's place at the head of the
grand procession of farm crops of the
country. Last year there were grown
101 ,7S8,000 acres of corn in the Unit
ed States, giving an average yield of
26.2 bushels per acre-a total of
1861, 900 bushels, valued at ST.
GIG, $4,000. The yield per acre in the
Pacific Northwest exceeds the aver
age rate of yield for the country, and
there is no question but that corn
growing might become a valuable
accession to the general farm prac-
tice of this section of the country
Corn-lts Antiquity.
Maize was the great bread plant of
both North and South America for a
couple of thousand years or more be-
fore Columbus crossed the Atlantic 1t
is within the past half century that
scientific leaders of United States agri-
culture have multiplied and improved
it's varieties, but still the monuments
of Mexico, New Mexico, and Peru, be-
lieved to be quite 1000 years old, have
been found to contain many kinds of
corn. 1t is proved, too, that those
early people had made great progress
in the uses of their staple; they boiled
and roasted it when green and when
ripe ground it in their mills for -four
To the first European colonists the
Indian corn" proved salvation, both
for themselves and their stock. They
quickly picked up it's value from the
Indians, and the James River settlers,
after commencing it's cultivation in
1908, had three years later 80 acres of
it.
The Indians appear to have had some
sound ideas of cropping, and those on
the seaboard followed the practice of
manuring their cleared patches with
fish. This method of assisting the soil

done by proper rotation and fertilizing,
such as resting the land in clover,
pasturing, or both.
Second Get your land in perfect
tilth by plowing and disking and har-
rowing. Do this when the soil is in
the best condition to work, not work
ing it while wet or soggy. One of
the most common mistakes made by
corn growers generally is that of plow
ing and neglecting to harrow down fine
all that was plOWed each halliday. IL
We neglect to harrow as we plow, the
Jumps that would be easily pulverized
soon dry into hard Gods, and become
non-productive.
Third. Use none but the best corn
for seed. | advise thoroughbred seed.
Thoroughbred corn is produced by
most careful selection for a long Pc
riod of years, with view to produce
the highest ideal type of corn. This
ideal is obtained by the same princi-
pies as ideals in stock breeding are
produced, using only the highest ideal
obtainable as seed stock.
Fourth. Do not plant deeper than
two and one-half inches if your seed
bed is fine. This will insure it's early
termination if the weather is favora-
BILE. If the soil is dry, use the harrow
early and often, so as to kill all weeds
in their infancy. The after cultiva-
ton should be such as is best suited
to keep down weeds and keep the sur
face finely pulverized. 1t is expecting
too much of the soil to grow crop of
weeds and at the same time produce
a full crop of corn. Study the habits
of the corn plant as you cultivate.
Seek to know the reason for each step
in the production OF, corn crop.
Selecting Seed Corn.
First. Select ears only from we'll
developed stalks.
Two. Select ears which are from
31a to feet on the stalks
Third. Select ears with short, me-
dium-siZed shanks. Ears with large
shanks are hard to break from the
stalks, and small or long shanks are
apt to be broken by the wind or in
harvesting.
Fourth. Select ears which well rep
resent the breed in size, shape, color,
etc., as it is important that the char
acters should be well fixed, in order
that they may be transmitted with
certainty.
Fifth. Select large ears if possible
to do so without too great sacrifice
in other points. Varieties with two
or more ears per stalk may make good
ensilage corn, but are not the best for
the production of grain.
Sixth. Select ears with average pro-
portion. Nothing is gained by select
ing the very long or the very short
thick ears.
Seventh. Select ears with deep ker-
nels, and narrow burrows between
rows and large proportion of grain
to cob. The mistake is often made of
selecting ears because of size when
the cobs are so large and the kernels
so shallow that there is less grain per
ear than on smaller ears.
Eighth. Select ears with straight
rows and uniform kernels, as this not
only has to do with the percentage of
corn to cob and uniformity of type,
but with the regularity with which
the corn may be planted.
Ninth. Select ears of medium
rough indentation, as this will be

The tendency of the age is toward
better farming. No one has reached
the high plane where no improvement
is possible. Never as now have the
farmers desired good reliable agricul-
tural reading, good, practical agricul-
tural schools and good Farmers In
stitutes.
The seed train special the short
courses and agricultural expositions all
show there is hungering for knOwl-
edge. We know this is not mere Gu
riOSity because of results. The corn
of commerce grades better than ever
before because men have been going
to school and studying corn. And the
same is true in other lines.
Plants differ widely in composition,
range of root, period of growth and
their ability to gather that which they
need from the soil. These are facts
which farmer should be familiar
with in order that he may intelligently
manure the soil and plan the rotation
of crops he wishes to follow in man.
ner that will give the best possible re-
suits.
Rotation of crops gives time for the
disintegrating action of the atmos-
phere, rain and frost to prepare new
material from the rock particles in
the soil, and get it in form to be used
by the plant. One crop may use up
the available food of a particular kind
faster than it can be prepared by
these natural agencies. When proper
ly managed, it enables one plant to
prepare food for another.
ular succession of crops is based are:
1. That all plants exhaust the soil,
though in an unequal degree.
2. That plants of different kinds
do not exhaust the soil in the same
manner.
8. That all plants do not restore to
the soil like quantity or quality of
manure.
That all plants are not equally fa-
vorable to the growth of weeds.
Though the principle of rotation is
adapted to every soil, no particular
plan of rotation can be assiged to any
one description of soil which will an
swer at all times; much depends on
climatic changes, and on the demand
for different kinds of produce.
BY study of these facts and the
conditions that surround the agricul-
ture of the Pacific Northwest, together
with the consequences that have al
ways surely followed the single crop
system into which the pioneer farm
ers of any newly developed locality
are SO apt to drift, the instructors at
it's several Agricultural Colleges have
made active campaigns to promote di-
versificatiOn of agriculture by the ro-
tation of crops, by raising more live
stock and by better farm methods.
Corn is one of the crops mat .Aese
instructors have urged the farmers to
give more attention to. Corn has not
been raised in the Pacific Northwest
to so great an extent as in many other
localities. Other crops have taken the
lead for several reasons, just as cot
ton took. the lead in the South. But
there corngrowing is being extended
with the same favorable results that
are anticipated from its greater pro-
duction here.
Corn is valuable from every point of
consideration. 1t is useful as a for
age, as grain and as a tillage crop.

IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS
 IN THE NATIONS CAPITAL

Washington. June 1o.-The most im- portant happenings in the nations cap- ital today were as follows:
