Team work-did you ever hear of
that? 1t is team work that wins. In
sports and in business it is team work
that takes the pennanr. knocks the per-
simmon. bags the game.
The baseball teams of the big leagues
have gone south to practice team work.
BY the time the ball season opens ev-
cry team will have become a unit Of
efficiency. Every man on the team will
have studied thoroughly and conscien-
tously every other man. All will have
come to a mutual understanding. The
catchers will know the kinks and
curves Of the pitchers. the shortstop
will know how to cooperate with the
basemen. and the basemen and the out.
f1elders will be in complete articulation
for skillful plays.
1t is just the same in football. Ev-
cry man on the eleven must be thor
oughly drilled in team work before 60

STATES AWAKING TO DANGER
Additional Hospital Beds for the
Treatment Of the tuberculosis
Are Being Established.

Nearly 1000 additional hospital beds
for consumptives In 29 states were
provided during the year ending June
!, according to a statement issued by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. This
makes total of over 10000 beds, but
only about one for every ten INDECENT
tuberculosis patients In this country.
In the last five years, the hospital
provision for consumptives has in
creased from 14,42S in 1907, to over
10000 in 1912. or over 100 per cent.
New York state leads in the number
of beds, having $3.50 on June 1; Mas
sachusetts comes next with $500; and
Pennsylvania, close third with 2,700.
Alabama showed the greatest percent
age OF increase in the last year by
adding 81 new beds to its AZ year
ago. Georgia comes next with 109
beds added to 240 a year ago New
York has the greatest numerical in
crease, having provided over 1900 ad-
ditional beds In the year.

THE RIGHT WAY TO
CULTIVATE CORN
By c. II. SPURwAY, Instructor In soiIs.
Michisan Agricultural College

successful corn grower once said:
"The best time to cultivate corn Is
before 1t Is planted" He had in mind
the proper fitting of the soil for the
crop, rather than the cultivation
which is usually given after the corn
is seen In the row. Preparing good
seed bed is an important part Of corn
growing. but there are other things
which must also be considered.
The best soil for corn is a deep,
rich, sandy or silly loan. This does
not mean, however, that corn cannot
be grown on any other kind of soil. 1t
means that the largest yields are OBJ
tained from this kind. Profitable
yields can be had from many different
kinds of soil providing proper care is
taken to prepare the ground before
seeding. and proper methods Of culti-
walton are followed.
The secret of preparing a good seed
bed Is to plow early and work often.
One can hardly plow too early In the
spring. providing the soil Is in the
proper condition for plowing. II the
corn Is to follow sod, then the sod
should not be left until it has a crop
of hay on 1t and the hay turned under
late in the season. Many fields have
been ruined for the season by doing
this. The growing hay takes out the
water, and II the season Is dry, the
great bulk of material below the fur
row slice will cause trouble. This In
jury is greatest on the heavier soils.
After plowing. work the soil down

Alfalfa is an excellent feed for all

1t is more digestible than red clo-
ver and is not far behind such mate
rinls as wheat bran In feeding value.

interfered with the production Of
this staple.
Corn is damaged by these caterpil-
lars In two ways. First, In the early
part of the season, while the plants
are small, they work in the throat"
of the young corn, and If the tender
growing tip and the protecting leaves
are once damaged all chances that the
plant will become a normal produc-
tive specimen are gone. In many
sections this is commonly known as
= "budworn In Jury, and though there
are several other insects which cause
a similar mutilation of the leaf, a
very large proportion of the so-called
"bud-worm" damage may be charged
to this insect,
The other form of serious damage
chargeable to this pest occurs later
in this season. The larvae, having
then left the leaves and descended to
the lower part of the stalk, tunnel In
the pith. If the larvae are at all
numerous in the stalk, their burrows
so weaken the plant that any unusual
strain will lay 1t low and destroy all
chance Of its maturing. While fire.
quently ten or more larvae may live
and mature in one plant, 1t must be
remembered that any infestation,
however light, will lessen in some de-
gree the vitality of the plant and
cause a corresponding loss in the
quality and quantity of the harvest.
Immediately upon leaving the egg
in spring the young larva of the first
generation, spinning a silken thread
behind it, wanders down into the
throat of the plant as far as the wa

every heavy rain. This Thorough
working, together with the rains, will
cause a good, firm seed bed to be es-
tablished. The continuous narrowing
will aerate the soil and make plant
food available for the young plant
Before planting the corn, dig down
into the soil to the depth of the fur
row slice. II the soil is loose and open
near the bottom Of the furrow slice
the seed bed has not been prepared
properly. If 1t Is firm and moist be-
low, and dry and loose near the sur
face, then there Is a good seed bed
for corn, which is one Of the first
requisites for growing profitable
crop. The producing Of such a seed
bed is what the successful corn grow
er meant by saying that the best
time to cultivate corn is before it is
planted.
Good seed must be planted on this
good seed bed, otherwise our careful
work will be somewhat wasted.
Perhaps, for the most of us, the
next thing of Importance will be to
get after the weeds. Here the weed
er may be used to advantage on the
lighter soils. The field is gone over
once or twice so as to kill the weeds
as soon as they have terminated from
the seed. The best time to kill weeds
is when they are small. II Is worth
while to get at them as soon as possi-
BILE after they have terminated, and
the first two or three civilizations
count the most in this respect. After
the plants appear In the rows, then
the corn should be well cultivated
with a good cultivator. On the heav-
Ter soils the spike-toothed harrow
might take the place of the weeder,
or the cultivator might be used from
in the rows, or the plants are small,
put on the tenders to keep the plants
from being covered with soil, and do
a good job Don't be afraid of culti-
waiting too deep the first time over,
and use cultivator that Is adapted to
the soil. The deep cultivating will
let air into the soil and hasten the
decay of organic matter and the build
ing up of plant food. AS soon as the
corn roots begin to spread between
the rows, the cultivator should be run
shallower, SO as not to prune the
roots too much and set the plants back
In their growth. AS far as the saw
ing of moisture is concerned, two
inches seem to be the most econom-
ical depth to cultivate after the first
two or three times. II thistles or
milkweeds bother, try the thistle
sweeps. There are kinds found on the
market which will do the work effec.
lively. Keep the cultivators running
in the fields until the corn Is too high
for the two-horse machines. After
this, many still use the one-horse cul-
tivator until the corn gets too big or
the weather too hot to DO effective
work.
The vital things In the growing OF
a good crop of corn are summarized
as follows: A good seed bed, good
seed thorough cultivation to kill the
weeds. 70 save water and to aerate the
soil.

ated slowly changes to the next or

even in succulent nubbins farther up.
They sometimes also penetrate the
underground part of the stalk in feed
ing and enter some of the larger
brace roots for short distance.
The larvae of the second genera
tion work in a similar manner, ex-
cept that at the time they appear the
tassel has been formed; hence the
damage is now confined altogether to
the lower stalk. Thus, instead of ar
ranging to pass the pupal stage In
the upper stalk, they penetrate to
the root to hibernate and there, as
larvae, pass the winter In a quiescent
state.
Rotation is one of the best gener-
al preventives of injury from insects
affecting field crops. Experience has
shown that where corn has followed
itself upon the same field for two or
more years there has been a much
The Clio messenger., 1912-07-19

greater loss from the borer than
where an annual change of crop has
been practiced This Is especially
noticeable where stalks or stubble
from the previous year have been al
lowed to remain undisturbed through
out the winter. The moths, upon
emergence in the spring, finding
themselves surrounded by the young
corn, commence egg laying at once
and escape the dangers encountered
in searching for another field Of
corn. A forced journey In search Of
young corn results in many of the fe-
males being eaten by birds or being
destroyed because Of rain, cold, or
failure to find the object Of their
quest. A few moths will always sue
ceed in their search, but the success

creased by persistent crop rotation.

oes great damage by breaking the
lants of at the surface Of the
cound, thus running them.
An examination of these broken
stems will in most cases show that
they have been greatly weakened by
the burrows OF a caterpillar known
as "the larger corn stalk borer."
Its work Is largely within the stem
Of the plant, and is so concealed that
In most cases, unless weather condi-
tions make it conspicuous, the pres
ence Of the insect passes unnoticed.
This insect seems to have been
originally an enemy Of sugar cane
and to have first transferred its at
tention to corn in the southern part
OF this country, where corn and cane
are grown over the same territory.
1t occurs in many countries where SUI
gar cane is the staple crop, and has
caused great damage in the West
Indies, British Guiana, Australia, and

to show that 1t was first brought into
