PROFITS IN CORN
GROWING
BY Henry Homer Fletcher

For several years now boys corn
growing associations have been in OPP
Grafton in various counties in the
state. In every case the results OBJ
tanned indicate that the boys are go
ing at their work in very practical
manner, and that they are demonstrat-
ing that largely increased yields may
be obtained, that profits may be in
creased and that the quality OF the
corn can be greatly improved.
In Ionia County the boys are doing
unusually good work. Mr.. Frederick
Graf is the "chief engineer" The
leading business men of Ionia are sup
porting the work and adding enthu
s;asm in a very generous way. The
boys are working for large yields and
for economy in production. The fol-
lowing report OF a fourteen-year-old
boy, who, by the way, is president OF
the Boys Association, tells its own
story:
How the Corn Was Grown.
May lst disced the ground, as
ground disced before II is plowed per-
mits the moisture TO come close to
the surface for the use OF the plant
roots and also leaves a mulch OF fine
dirt which fills up the air spaces left
between the furTowed slice and the
ground beneath. May 2nd plowed the
ground about inches deep, and from
now on until the 10th / fitted the
ground
May 10th marked corn ground into
hills IT. and 10 inches apart and
planted so 1t averaged 3 kernels In
hill
May 10th, corn was up.
May 10Th, hoed corn.
May 22nd, cultivated; May 9th, cul-
tivated; June 10th, cultivated; June
J 5th, cultivated; June goth, cultivated;
June 26th. cultivated; July 4th. corn

Many farm places would be more at
tractive in appearance and more pleas
ant as homes if there were more trees
10 heautffy in summer and protect in
winter. The older settled sections OF
Michigan have long since learned the
importance of tree planting and the
honicsteads there are surrounded by
the naples, hickories, elms and ever
green's planted years ago The lack
OF trees is painfully evident in the
newer districts, especially in the re-
gions covered by the great fires or
1871 and 1881.
a well grown, well placed wind
break possesses great ornamental and
practical value and is one of the easi-
est and best methods of adding to
the number of farm trees. The val
ne Of a wind-break about farm build
ings is most evident, of course, in win
ter when it protects the stock and
prevents drifts by causing the snow
10 tan evenly over the protected area.
In fields the soil is kept more evenly
covered, thus preventing winter kill
ing of such crops as wheat, alfalfa
and clover In summer the soil in the
protected area retains moisture bet
ter and the humidity OF the air is
greater in the shadow The region i'll
the lea of the wind-break is protected
one rod in width for each foot of
height of the trees. For example, a
wind-break thirty feet high should pro-
teot a strip of land lying next TO it,
thirty rods wide. AS matter OF fact
this rule holds true for the wind-break
on the College farm as may readily be
seen on a windy day OF either summer
or winter. Not least in the list OF
benefits is the fact that an evergreen

In the big Weber-Fields dressing

He must go on the stage in a tan
trum in a few minutes. Every night

right effect on him" Every night

Relna a Baseball Star.

A stars job is hard one. The
mental strain is even greater than the
physical. For what he undergoes the
fabulous salaries are not fabulous.
Before going into details let us de-
fine star-the ball players defini-
tion:
"A star is any player who. through
individual excellence. achieves a repu-
tation for brilliant work, thus at
tracing fans to the park to see him
play"
He is star only SO long as his per-
formances stand out. He is paid the
salary of star as long as his reputa-
tion brings fans to the stands and
money to the box Office. The day that
sees the waning of his sensationalism
also sees the waning of his salary
