WHAT'S WRONG WITH
THE AMERICAN FARMERl


The census figures for 1910 show
the following acres in staple crops:
Corn. 114,OO2,OOO acres; wheat, 49,2O5,-
600; oats. 35,2SS,OOO; rye, 2,O2S 600;
barley, 7,257OOO; buckwheat, $4,000;
flaxseed, 2,916 600; potatoes, 1891 900;
rice, 722,SOO.
Despite these large figures the fact
remains that the American farmer
robs his soils instead Of conserving
them; he does not appreciate the nec-
essity for using high grade seed; he
does not use the intensive cultivation
followed by the peasant farmer Of Eu-
rope, writes DR.. II. +. Barnard, In
diana state food commissioner, in Nc
Calls Magazine. He adds: "The use
Of selected seed will itself increase the
crop. The farmers Of one country in
the middle west have doubled the
yield from their cornfields by a care
full selection of seed corn. They have
tested the yirility of every ear by TAX
ing one or two kernels and allowing
them to sprout under favorable condi
tlons. The ears from which the ker
nels taken did not sprout were dis
carded and so the farmer was able t.
get a perfect instead of having, as II
commonly the case, field dotted will
missing hills. Proper preparation o
the soil is the next requisite.
Good corn or good wheat cannot b
grown on a poorly prepared seed bed
The plowing must be deep, the har
rowing thorough. A seed will no
