HOW IT 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 1874 bushels of corn Sc
cured from single acre by John Sund-
berg will be interested in knowing how
1t 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. It 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 half were chosen In the rich
est part of the field. enc 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 a sufficient number Of kerr
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-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 II. 1880 stalks with ears averaging in
weight 1A.4 ounces. The land was re-
measured and the corn weighed in the
presence of justice of the peace. The
variety planted was Reds 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.

DOES CLIMATE CHANGE?

An inspection of meteorological rec
ords made in semiarid sections during
the past fifty years seems to give lit
tie encouragement to the theory that
the breaking up Of the soil in those Sec
lions and the growing thereon of titled
crops tend to increase the actual
amount OF rainfall from year to year.
The most that can be fairly said seems
to be that tillage of the soil in sec
lions OF short rainfall makes possible
a maximum utility Of the moisture
that does fall. while there is little
question that mellow soil and growing
crops serve to reduce somewhat the
whitening effect of hot south winds In
that they tend to lessen rather than
increase their capacity to absorb mois-
ture.

SOME OHIO SPRAYING RESULTS.

SOME OHIO SPRAYING HESOITS.
When the average orchard owner
who has not been spraying his trees
II broached on the question OF spray
ing. quite naturally one of the first
points he raises Is, Does it pay:"
With a view to giving an emphatic
affirmative answer to this question a
number of the state experiment sta
lions have during the past three or
four years conducted most instructive
cooperative spraying experiments, in
which tn. matter seems to have been
given very conclusive demonstration.
OF the above type Of experiments
were those conducted by the Ohio sta
ton 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 $1,40O, or over 500
per acre, and this after the cost of
spraying, amounting to 1925, 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 up 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 theunsprayed trees was less than
IS per cent. The main fact proved in
connection with this work Is that If
one has an orchard which is worth
anything at all he cannot afford to
leave 1t 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, 1t
were better cut out and converted into
stove wood. as 1t is merely an incum-
brance on the ground.
