PANORAMA OF coRNFIELDs

One great panorama of cOrnfields
from Cairo to Chic lgo is the picture of
Illinois. Here and there are grain
fields and far-reaching pastures, a lit
tie scorched to relieve the miles and
miles Of corn expanse. Tt is unneces-
sary to look up statistics to know that
Illinois is the great corn state. Direct"
ly under the cornfields. in many in
stances, are great mines of btuminous
coal, which represents one great source
of wealth from Illinois farm lands
for the farmers Geed carries title
clear through to China. The intense
hot weather in Springfield, the old
home of Lincoln. was being bravely
endured because it was great corn
weather" The plan for waterway
from Chicago to the Mississippi is a
project in which the farmers of the
state seem keenly interested, because
of the advantages in transporting
products southwark on the Mississippi
to the markets of the world,-National

RAISING CORN WITH WEEDS

The old-time average of $4,000, 900
bushels of corn last year has during
the past ten years. jumped to about 50,-
100000 bushels for 1910 in South Caor-
lima. For generations the only crop
raised was cotton; now corn is the
thing. Here it was that an Iowa farm
er came down and raised corn on a new
PLAN Weeds were allowed to grow
with the crop until it was a foot and a
half high, then the weeds were de-
stroyed and fertilizer applied after the
corn was we'll under way With a
stunted stalk the fertilizer forced the
yield into the ear. The weeds did not
choke out the corn; the experiment
was a success. and seems to mark a
new departure in corn cultivation.-Na

OREGON APPLES

One can never think of oregon with
out recalling the Hood river apples. The
new pear district at Medford and other
fruit districts indicate what will follow
with the removal of great timber
tracts. More small farms have been
opened the past year than ever before,
and the young farmers are made vel
come. The mild climate of the state
has attracted many thousands of new
settlers, and there is never fear of
drought-in winter time, at least when
the winter mists begin to fall and the
roses begin to bloom in the gardens

GARDENING IN BACK YARD

Many persons nave tried SfoWluS Il
variety of expensive plants in the
home garden and windo ga den and
have, owing to various difficulties, met
with failure, which is, of course, very
discouraging. | always try to en-
courage readers in their work. l point
out the pleasures and points of C
cess and show my friends the little
matters that, unless un lerstood, VIII
make such difficulties as vii prevent
success.
One of the greatest d IF ties in
growing house plants is the fact that
too many are trying to g. ow some
thing that is considered rare, or which
florists brag up and sell at high price.
My plan is to avoid difficul les of
this character by pur- hasing the
growing plants easily managed and
that will give results in floral effect.
One of the great difficulties met with
in window gardening is the little in
sect known as the aphiS. 1t finds the
plants even in a ten or tWenty-story
building, and unless it is eradicated
it will so disease the plant as to carse
it to become weak, and in time Will
kill it unless removed. Some persons
can remove these with tobacco smoke,
but I have found the better plan is
to strew bits of tobacco or tobacco
stems about the soil in the pots. The
insect cannot exist where it Is kept
in the EARTH
If persons desire thev can select and
grow plants in the home that are not
apt to be attacked by in ect pests Of
course when a plant is grown indoors
it does not have the saUe opportunity
to become infested with insects as
those that are raised out of doors.
City-grown plants are often free from
certain insect enemies, although I
have seen some city gardens eaten up
with a host of insects that originated
in some manner. AS vegetation was
scarce in town. they devoured all with
in their reach and when they found
a flower or vegetable garden it was
not long until they ruined it,
There are quite a number of pants
that seem to be insect proof. Some
of these are excellent house pants,
and if grown and cared for as they
should be they will give handsome re-
turns.
One of these which I have found is
a most desirable plant for the window
garden for a number of reasons. Tt
is the primula s'nens's. 1t is plant
with a beautiful shape. bearing most
exquisite foliage and a great urofueion
of lovely flowers. 1t is easily grown
and is free from disease and insect
pests. Tt makes a window look very
attractive and no collection is COM
pete without it.
The plant will grow in a little
cooler place than some others, hut one
of the strongest points in its f7v0r is
the fact that it will grow and tl"om
profusely in north or west window.
1t often does fine without a particle
of sunlight. On this account it is very
valuable to many who happ-n to have
northern and western exposures.
The plants can Re grown from seed
which can be sOwn in summer in 4
partially shaded place. where the sci
is rich and free from clay and pro-
vided with an rn1er d"a maze and the
earth kept moist, but not wet. I find
many persons starting plants from seed
who keep their seed beds too wet

STATE BOARD OF TAXATION
EXAMINES MEADOW LANDS.
Visit Has to Do With Appeal
from Assessment.

Five automobiles bearing the mem
bers Of the Kearny Board Of Assessors,
the State Board of Taxation. headed
by Major Carl Lentz. and representa-
tives of the Newark Meadows Com
pany, left the Kearny Town Hall at IL
o'clock this morning for a tour of In
spection Of the Kearny meadows.
The meadows company has been
asked to pay tax on a valuation of
49, 900, 900, although last year it paid on
a rating Of but 5000, 900. In other words,
1t means a question Is to whether the
company shall pay a tax bill of $4,000
or one of $4,000. The Kearny asses
sors believe that the increase Is amply
warranted, II being claimed that the
company is asking a minimum OF $4,000
for unimproved and $1,000 for Improved
acreage in the meadows.
On receiving it's bill the company APP
pealed to the county board and the
matter was referred to the State Tax
Board. The latter body was to have
held a hearing in Trenton today. u
Assemblyman Edward Kenny, town at
torney, managed to get the State as
SCISSORS to go to Kearny. After the
inspection the hearing will be held late
in the afternoon at the Town Hall.

COUNTY COUNSEL
SUGGESTS PLAN
TO IMPROVE Pike.
Hudson Freeholders Will Be
Asked to Appropriate $780,
600 for Work.

The manner in which the turnpike
across the Kearny 1eadows is to be
improved, the first intimation about
which was given exclusively in the
STAR on Saturday, developed today
when Hudson County Counsel John r.
Griffin in Jersey City communicated to
former Assemblyman Joseph A. Rior-
dan. of Harrison, the details of the
plan for overhauling this important
but neglected highway.
For some time past Mr.. Riordan and
Messrs. Edward J. Gaffney, Henry c.
Walker and Thomas J. Butler, repre-
senting the West Hudson County Boar
of Trade, have been urging the Hud-
son County Board of Chosen Freehold
ers to repair or rebuild the turnpike,
and the freeholders have had Mr..
Griffin looking up ways and means by
which the work might be undertaken
at this time with the fewest legal OBJ
stacles. Mr.. Griffin has visited various
parts Of New Jersey cor the express
purpose Of studying road repairs, n
has also been in frequent consultation
with State Road Commissioner Gi1ky-
son. with the result hat the two have
agreed that the most feasible project
in the case of the turnpike would be
the laying Of a bitulithic rnacadam
surface on which a five-year guarantee
can be had and the Total cost OF w1lisi1
will not exceed $50, 900.
OF this amount Mr.. Griffin says the
State pledges $4,000. In order to pro-
funds for the county's share of
the cost a bill prepared by Mr.. Grif-
fin has been introduced into the Lcgis-
lature by Assemblyman Turnulty to
enable Hudson to issue a maximum of
$50, 900 in temporary loan bonds.
At the meeting of the Hudson board
next wednesday MI. Griffin said that
he would make the foregoing recon-
m%endatior to the freeholders and has
been assured that the board will at
once advertise for bids returnable or
March 81. There was good reason, he
thought. for believing that the improv-
ing of the four miles OF road could be-
gin early in April and be finished in
August.
