AS BASEBALL Is TOLD
BY AN ENGLISH WRITER

Although baseball is still de-
scribed as "glorified FOUNDERS"
by the average Englishman.
there are enthusiasts who work
hard to impart taste for the
game among London specta-
tors. On the Clapton Orient
football clubs grounds at HON.
erton on Saturday the final tie
OF the national baseball ascot
atoms challenge cup competi-
ton was played, Brentford
beating West Ham by 20 runs
to 8. The game was always in
teresting. West Ham did not
have the luck OF the play.
Brentford's success, however
was in a great measure due to
their really exceptional pitcher,
who frequently put in an almost
unplayable ball.-London Ex-

POOR STAND.

SOOU,UUU.
POOR STAND.
Planted in five foot rows, three
feet apart in the row, one acre
should have 2,940 plants. If'each
plant makes an ear Smelling ten
ounces of kernels, the weight would
be about 33 bushels. Hence in
Louisiana our crop must be made
up of nubbius, or else we do not
have the stand we should. To
make but twenty bushels per acre
under the above conditions our
plants in the row must stand 575
inches apart; that is nearly five
feet. That this is the real condi-
ton of affairs may readily he de-
termined by inspecting few aver
age fields during the summer.
Time will not permit a discus
sion of improved methods of cult
walton, the Importance of germina-
ton tests, the use of commercial
fertilizers. l have only been able
to touch few of the higher places
in this brief discussion. 1t would
require a series of dozen or more
articles to cover the subject with
sufficient fullness to make them of
sufficient value to the readers of
the La. Trucker and Farmer.
Louisiana's large corn crop last
year means more in the agricultu-
raj economy of the State than we
generally realize. For one thing,
it has stopped the importation of
corn, oats and hay by the farmers
of Louisiana. For another it has
led to the raising of hogs through
out the State. Many points in
Louisiana have during the past six
months shipped hogs to the Texas
markets by the car load. A small
district in Caddo shipped during
the winter fourteen car loads.
1t is estimated that at the time
Louisiana was making nearly a
million bales of cotton, two thirds
of the crop went to buy pork,
mules and stock feed from the
middle west. Think of the signifi-
canoe of our corn crop when it en-
ables Louisiana farmers to raise
their own meat for home consump.
ton. To save more than SIC, OO0,-
600 formerly spent for western
feed products; to raise and ship
out of few small centers hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth
of pork, and to produce their own
mules and horses at cost of less
than half the prices formerly paid
western dealers. Prof. V. L. Roy.

more than 5000 feet. A 40 bushel
crop requires about fifteen inches
of water for full development and
this water must be present at the
right time. Where will such a
root system find Judgment in a seed
bed that is only four inches deep
if underlaid with hardpan? How
can bed three or four inches deep
keep store of moisture necessary
for forty bushel crop? DIR. s. A.
Knapp, throughout the tremendous
campaign that his agents in the
demonstration work are carrying
on, is emphasizing the Importance
of deeper and better prepared seed
beds. 1t may be that in the case
of some light, sandy soils there is
danger of too deep blowing, and
there is always danger in deep
blowing when done at the wrong
time; but in southern Louisiana
we have little to fear in these re-
CARDS. We must learn to pillow
deep in the fall; we must learn to
care for the soil through the win
ter; and when we come to plant,
we must have a mellow soil in
which the seed will sprout quickly,
and at once begin growth.
MORE HUMUs REQUIRED.
There is probably no more i'm
portant word in the vocabulary of
southern farmers than this word
humus. 1t is the one great require
ment of our soils, for the reason
that our hot summer suns tend to
the rapid wasting away of whatev-
er supply we may have and our ex-
cessive rainfall washes away much
organic matter that would form
humus. Humus is important for
all crops, but for none more than
corn. 1t is important because
when present in sufficient quanti-
ties 1t increases the water holding
power of the soil; the water alb
sorbing power, and the friability
of the soil; it adds fertility direct
ly; it makes the soil warmer, thus
facilitating early planting it
makes heavy soils lighter and light
soils less open and porous. From
whatever standpoint it may be
Judged, in no respect can humus
be found to exert any but the most
valuable and important effect on
the growth of corn. This is why
cowpeas are SO important in SOUTH
ern agriculture: and likewise it
gives the reason why not a wagon
load of manure should be lost in
Louisiana.
INFERIOR SEED.
Until we get away from the
abominable practice of selecting
our seed out of the crib, we cannot
hope to improve our corn crop to
the fullest extent. And to bny
from northern and western dealers
is seldom more profitable than TAX
ing the seed out of the crib. Ten
dollars is not too much to pay for
a bushel of well bred seed corn
adapted to the locality where it is
to be grown, but fifty cents is too
much when the merits of the seed
are unknown, when it may not be
adapted to our climate. There is
no more hopeful sign in corn grow
ing to-day than the fact that many
thinking, progressive, philanthro-
pic farmers in the State are now
giving a great deal of their time,
energy and study to the produc-
ton of firstclass varieties of corn
adapted to Louisiana conditions.
| am firmly of the conviction that
if we could use only the best seed
available in 1910 the corn crop
woald this year be increased there
by not less than five bushels per
acre. That would mean something
