HOW 1T WAS GROWN,

When one reads of an exceptional
yield of grain or corn an interest very
naturally attaches to the methods fol-
lowed in producing it. For this reason
those who have read the previous ref
erence in these notes to the authenti-
Gated yield of 154 bushels of corn Sc
| cured from single acre by John Sund-
berg will be interested in knowing how
it was grown. The ground on which
this fine yield was produced was Sec
| ond bottom Missouri valley soil which
| had been in clover pasture some FIVE
years preceding. 1t was plowed in the
fall. and in the spring it was given the
usual thorough preparation for corn
including disking and narrowing. An
| acre and a half were chosen in the rich
est part of the field. one acre being laid
out for the actual test. The grower
figured out in advance just how many
plants he would have to have to pro-
| duce $50 bushels at harvest. To this
| were added sufficient number of ker-
| nels to make up for those that for one
cause or another would fail to pro-
duce ears. He planted the corn early
in May, using drill and double plant
ing. so that the rows were twenty y-one
| inches apart, the kernels being drop
ped eighteen inches apart in the row.
The cultivating was done with a sin
gle horse and five tooth cultivator
this being given at frequent intervals
so as to keep the soil loose and moist
At husking time an actual count show
ed 1850 stalks with ears averaging in
| weight 14.4 ounces. The land was re-
measured and the corn weighed in the
presence Of justice of the peace. The
! variety planted was Reid's Yellow Dent.
1t is interesting to note in connection
with this yield that it was Just about
six times the average yield per acre
for corn the country over. 1t is worth
remembering, too. that, in addition to
using the finest pure bred seed obtain
able, the corn was grown on a very
rich piece of bottom land and was
given ideal cultivation. When corn
growers will give more heed to the
| three factors here mentioned in the
growing Of their corn the yield of this
great cereal will be materially in
creased.

SOME OHIO SPRAYING RESULTS.

When the average orchard owner
who has not been spraying his trees
is broached on the question of spray
ing, quite naturally one of the first
points he raises is, Does it pay?"
With view to giving an emphatic
affirmative answer to this question a
number of the state experiment sta
tions have during the past three or
four years conducted most instructive
cooperative spraying experiments, in
which the matter seems to have been
given very conclusive demonstration.
OF the above type Of experiments
tion in 1907. Twelve acres of an or
chard near Amherst were selected for
the experiment, the trees being twenty
feet in height and having about an
equal spread of top. A few trees were
left unsprayed for purposes of COM
parisOn. At harvest time $500 bushels
of perfect apples were gathered, a
conservative estimate of the gain due
to spraying being $1,400, or over 500
per acre. and this after the cost of
spraying, amounting to $125, had been
subtracted. Set, as this orchard was,
in the midst of many other unsprayed
orchards, the demonstration was very
convincing, and as a result Of the
showing made many orchardists of
the state were convinced Of the practi-
cal value of spraying and took the
work dp the following year. The av-
erage of picked sound fruit at harvest
time on all the trees sprayed was
06 per cent. while the same average
for the unsprayed trees was less than
5S per cent. The main fact proved IN
connection with this work. is tE II
zone has an orchard which iSsworfh
anything at all he cannot afford to
leave it unsprayed. as so doing will
reduce both the quantity and quality
, of his fruit below the point where he
can successfully compete with the
! growers Of clean fruit. On the other
hand, If the orchard is too far gone
to justify the expense of spraying. it
were better cut out and converted into
stove wood. as it is merely an incum-
brance on the ground.

ways In Newly Developed Country.
Experts of many countries are mar
yelling at the great roads which the
United States government has con-
structed and is now constructing on
the reclamation projects in the far
western states and territories.
More than 600 miles of the most ex-
cellent highways that it is possible
for man to produce have been COM
pleted and are in daily use.
These, of course. do not include the
byroads leading to many farms or the
many other roads being used for the
time being until the macadamized kind
can be built.
The dry farmers have had good
horses and vehicles since the reclama-
tion work began seven years ago, and
these good roads are enabling them
to haul their products to the towns
and railroad stations and to send their
children to school. They regard them
as the most important Of all aids to
progress and prosperity.
Many Of these pioneers own automo-
biles, and it is no unusual sight to see
on Saturdays or Sundays dozen or
more motorcars of the latest designs
in any of the towns of the older prof.
ects. 1t is interesting to note that I'm
Gle Sam has only fairly begun the
building of roads in this newly devel-
oped country and that in very few
years the mileage will be reckoned in
thousands where it is now counted in
hundreds.
