The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1911-06-13

Demand controls the quantity that
should be grown. To meet the de-
mands the producers Of the United
States have. during the last ten years
averaged in round $780,
100000 bushels Of corn yearly. In pro-
ducing this quantity a little more than
9 $1,000. 900 acres have been devoted to
corn growing. The average produc-
ton per acre has been 20 bushels.
Very few farmers Won like to &C
knowledge that their average prOduc-
ton for the past ten years has been as
low as 26 bushels per acre. but from
the best estimates that nave been
made the conclusion is unavoidable
that half of those who grow corn har-
vest less than &c bushels per acre.
Twice this quantity is a fair crop.
three times &c bushe is a good crop
and four times 26 bushels per acre are
frequently produced.
Since the average crop IN the states
best adapted to corn growing is but
little above the general average Of the
entire country, 1t is evident that the
average is not lowered to any great ex-
ten by the poo o in sections I'M
suited to corn growing. Moreover, the
yield per acre in the New England
States, with their short growing sea-
son, is as great as in any other part Of
the country. This clearly indicates
the possibility Of greatly increasing the
yield per acre in the corn belt. This
is especially easy Of accomplishment
in the Southern States. where the pres
ent production per acre is low n
where the growing season is not short
ened by frOsts.
Poor corn crops are usually attrib-
uted to u~nfavorable weather condi-
tons. and frequently this is the true
cause, for there are but few summers
during which this crop does not suffer
more or less at some stage IN IT'S
growth. The most that can be done
regarding the weather is to take the
best possible advantage of the cond1-
tons as they exist. But there are
other conditions that are responslble
for low neutrality-suspicious. that
are directly under the control of the
farmer-and it Is these that make
possible the doubling Of the average
yield per acre within a few years. AL
though entirely possible, it is not ex-
pected that the near future will wit
ness an average production of 81 bush
els for every acre grown. The failure
to realize his production will result
from the failure of many growers to
improve their methods. That some
growers In many different States are
year by year producing SO and IS
bushels of corn per acre proves the
possibility.
The lines of improvement that will
most easily and quickly doubl the
present production per acre are i'm
provement in the quality of the seed
planted; improvement in the condition
of the soil: improvement in methods
Of cultivation.
The methods Of cultivation in gen
eral use in one section of the country
differ greatly from those In another

those OF Connecticut as these in turn
are different from those Of Georgia:
and while these differences are to
some extent due to the nature OF tho
farm land or 10 class of labor mploY-
ed. they are 10 a still greater exte9t
due to the conservatism of the farm
ers themselves. That certain kinds OF
culuNatorS or plows or methods OF
planting have been in use in Georgia
or Iowa for many years does not prove
that implements or methods found
successful in other States might not
be used there TO advantage.

OPPOSE DENTISTS
SELLING NARCOTICS
Capital Druggists Object to
Bill House Passed.

Thoroughly aroused by the House pass
ing the bill giving dentists in the Dis
trict the privilege OF selling narcotics,
the National Association Of Retail Drug
gists and the National Pharmaceutical
Association will at once begin a cam
paign TO prevent the bill from passing
the Senate. The fight will be led by
w. s. Richardson, a local druggist and
chairman OF the legislative committee Of
the National Association Of Retail Drug
gists.
The passage OF the bill was a great
blundsr," said Mr.. Richardson last night
1T puts In the hands Of dentists the
sale OF narcotics. 1t is a most dangerous
law, for the pharmacists are the only
qualified persons to engage in the sale
OF such products. The dentist Is by no
means qualified to sell narcotics.
The bill Is unequaled In the history
OF all legislation. No where IN the
United States, to my knowledge, is such
a law as the one proposed, in existence.
No sane person would vote in favor OF
such a dangerous law. l really don't
think the members OF the House who
voted for the bill knew what they were
voting for. There must have been some
misunderstanding. 1t was a bad mistake.
The druggists of the city think, however.
that the bill will fail to pass the Sem

In reference to the controversy over,
and the rates charged for. water, Mr..
Clayton said: Recently the water rates
question was the burning topic. The
city is furnishing the government with
free water at the cost of the taxpayer.
The rates of the District are at present
sufficient to pay the upkeep of the water
department and furnish gratis all water
needed by the government"
Continuing Mr.. Clayton said:
Water and sewer mains have been
laid at the expense of property owners,
the entire cost falling upon taxpayers.

The Easiest Way
to Remove Fuzz
(Boudolr secrets.l

No longer is It necessary for women
troubled with hair on face or arms to
submit to the torturous electric needle,
or experiment with Injurious prepara-
tions. for 1t has been found that ordinary
powdered delatone, mixed with water to
fern a paste and spread on the hairy
surface, win remove every trace Of hair
or f1zz.
After leaving the delatone on for two
or three minutes II should be rubbed of
and the skin washed. Not only will the
hairs vanish, but the skin will be left
white, soft and firm. Even though
druggists charge a dollar for an original

an instant to get It. as 1t is unfailing.
