JUST ISSUED.

English key for Esperanto by DR..
A. Rudy, of the A. & M. College OF
North Carolina. 1t is composed OF
three little pamphlets of 48 pages,
with six illustrations. Sent to any
address for loo. The pamphlet gives
clear outline of the Esperanto
grammar and exercises in it's pronun-
citation together with useful informa-
ton on the subject. 1t shows how
the language may be learned from
these pamphlets without a teacher.
Esperanto is living language. 1t
makes all other languages easy; it
improves ones English and it fur
nishes delightful reading of its own.

Some OF the Things Corn Club Boys Do-Suckernp
Ferizng Detasseing and Weather potIems

in our Progressive Farmer and Ga
zette Corn Club and who are all try
ing their best TO make big yield of
corn and win prize. We regret
that we have not space to print more
of these letters; but we wish to as
sure every boy who belongs to the
club that we shall be glad TO hear
from him at any time, and to know
how he is getting along with his
crop.
We are glad to have our young
friends ask us questions, too. That
is what. we are here for-to help
them all we can; but we wish to say
frankly that n great many of them
are asking questions that have been
already answered in the paper
Now. boys, If you wish to ask US
about anything. please feel free to do
so; well do our very best to help
YOU. You should have read the pa
per carefully, especially the series of
articles on How to Double the Corn
Yield from the time you entered
the contest. and you should have
filed away all OF your papers so that,
with the aid OF our quarterly index.
you could refer at any time to any
thing in IL. IT you did not do these
things, however, II can't be helped
now. Begin right now to do them,
and write and ask us about any ques-
ton that may be troubling you. We
shall gladly do our best to help you.
But just TO show you what you
lose by not reading the paper and
keeping a complete file OF II: One
of the questions most frequently
asked Is whether or not II will pay
10 pull the suckers of OF corn. A
whole article was devoted to this
very subject: yet great many OF
YOU evidently did not see II at all.
AS a rule IL does not pay to sucker
corn. There are some times when the
yield may be slightly increased by It:
oftener II Is not. Therefore. We can
not advise you to do It.
A good many are asking. too,
about applying fertilizers now. Here
again. the experiments that have
been made indicate that II is better
to apply all of the fertilizer-except
nitrate of soda-when the corn is
planted, If your corn was not sufii-
GENTLY fortified at first. It may pay
you to give 1t side dressing now.

- a
My Dear Young Friend: I am
much interested in your letter and
am going to tell you how you can
get as good an education as you
want-that is, just as good as you
want enough to make you do what is
necessary to get it.
l am sure it will pay you to spend
the next six, eight or ten years, if
necessary, to get a good education
This l can not prove to you in a pos
tive way, but I have had a pretty
good opportunity to see and study
these matters, and l say to you, l
know it pays. Pays in dollars and
cents, and in pleasure and satisfac-
ton all through life. That is, with
an education you can get more money
and pleasure out of life in 80 years
than you can without it in 40 years,
or more in 20 years with it than
you can without it in 80 years.
You can get an education without
going to school, but it takes longer.
is harder and you are not likely to
do it. You had better work for a
while and read all you can, and then
go to school for while
At the Mississippi A. & M College
they have what they call Working
Boys Course. You can, l believe,
work for year, then enter the pre-
paratory department. BY working
hard and being economical, you can
nearly if not quite support yourself
Even If you had to drop out one year
and work for wages, it would pay
you to do it to get money to continue
Now, to get an education in this
way Is hard, very hard, and one must
want an education very much to
stand it. but if he wants 1t badly
enough he can get it-and it pays.
If you are interested and think you
want an education enough to work
real hard for it for the next five or
six years, write President ]. C. IIar-
dy, Agricultural College, Miss, about
his Working Boys Course. We un.
derstand that the University of Mis-
sissippi also has some such course
which working boy may take. You
might also write President A. A
Kincannon, Oxford, Miss, about his
course for working boys.
Now, unless you are very sure you
mean business and want an education
and want it very much, do not under
take 1t, but IL you want to do 1t and
will do 1t, you will never regret it
and it will pay.
Sincerely yours,
TAFT BUTLER.

MIDSUMMER WORK IN THE CORN FIJI \

IN THE CORN FIELD
Boys Can Yet Do-Suckerinp.
Weather Problems.
but as a rule, we can not advise you
to do this. The one fertilizer to
which this does not apply is nitrate
OF soda. Nitrate of soda supplies
nitrogen in a form that is quickly
taken up by growing plants or easily
washed away by heavy rains. For
this reason it is better to apply it
after the crop has made a start and
hlled the soil with roots. Nitrogen
promotes the growth of stalk and
leaf, and wherever the corn is not
growing as it should nitrate Of soda
may be used, and made to pay, up to
the time Of silking and tasselling.
Seventy-five to 100 pounds to the
acre is generally used. 1t may be
sown through corn planter or fer
tilizer drill beside the rows, or scat
tered broadcast and narrowed in.
AS to laying-by time, we can only
advise you to keep working your corn
as long as it needs it. Don't think,
If 1t gets dry and a crust forms over
it. that just because it is about
grown and because you have once
told 1t goodbye you need not
work it again. Get your shallow
running cultivators and stir the top
of the soil. just an inch or two, and
save the moisture. Your corn will
need it before 1t natures.
In those sections where it has been
very wet the problem has been how
to keep down weeds and grass rather
than how to save moisture. In such
cases, whenever 1t gets dry enough,
take some light-running tool and stir
the top of the soil. You will keep
lots OF weeds and grass from coming
by this method. and IL you want the
best corn crop. you can't let the
weeds and crabgrass get the food the
corn should have. Where the weeds
already have a start it may be neces-
sary to do some hoeing and hand
pulling. This is expensive work; but
there are times when it pays.
1t is not likely that any OF you will
need to go into the business OF de-
tasselling on a very extensive scale,
or in any such manner as the pro-
fessional corn breeder does; but 1t
will pay you. II you wish to save seed
for next years planting from your
acre. to go over it and cut the tas-
sells Off of all stalks that bear no ears,
that are not healthy or that are de-
formed. This will keep the pollen
the fine yellow dust that the tassels
shed--of these stalks from falling up
on the silks OF the ears of your good
stalks and thus giving to the grains
these good stalks bear some of the
qualities OF the bad stalks. To be of
any value this work must be done
before the tassels bloom" that is,
before the pollen on them ripens. If
your corn has passed this stage, 1t
will be of no use at all to detassel,
and 1t should be done just as the tas-
sci Is peeping out.
