number of the delegates pledged them
selves to either take the training

class had two regular teachers and
how helpful this was in making the
school a success. Mr.. Logsdon told of
the plans which he had put in opera

good. During this session there was
much interest taken by all present
and a most helpful discussion given
of each paper The session was
closed by a spirited address by Miss

d5 Bushels on Acre.

The plot OF land on which my corr
acre was 30 yards wide and 220 yards
long and had been planted in corn
ever since can remember.
On May 1 tn my land was broken
with a two-horso turning plow. about
six inches. The next day 1t was har-
rowed with disc harrow.
Nothing more was done to IT till
the first OF June. when 1t was gone
over with a drag harrow.
On the I'd OF June the rows were
laid of AZ feet apart and 200
pounds OF 1922 guan0 was applied
with distributor. Corn was drop
ped by hand, very thick, the seed be-
ing Of Alexander's Prolific, raised on
my acre last year. The corn was cov-
cred with double-foot. On account
Of dry weather and clods 1t did not
come up until about two weeks.
There was a light shower on the
tho ground.
On the 27th Of June my corn was
worked the first timo with four
tooth cultivator and thinncd the same
day. Not having Il good stand
could not thin 1t to Il regular dist

six or eight inches apart.
On the Sd day Of July nico rain
fell. which helped tho corn very
much.
On July 18th corn was plowcd the
second time with u sweep, two fur
rows to tho row.
On the 18Th and 10th Of July a
heavy rain fell. which caused the
creek to overflow and do tho corn
much damage.
Nothing else was dono toward
working 1t till July 81, when 1t was
laid by with a sweep. one furrow in
tho middle.
On August |, 2 and 3 showers
came, which caused the corn to grow
much faster.

~ Bushels on Acre.

The plot Of land on which culti-
waited my prize acre OF corn for the
year 10 | was situated near the cen
ter Of oconcr county, about 100 yards
west or ConrroSS creek, Just above
what Is known as the Werner Bridge.
1t was a part OF Il field Of what Is
known as second hottom land. The
soil Is Il rich. black sandy land, with
ont any stumpS or rocks in it. Ono
side was somewhat lower than the
other and therefore contained more
moisture.
This land was in oats in 1910, fol-
lowed by cane and peas sowed for
forage. About November 1st, 1910,
broke It up about to inches deep
with three-horsc disc plow. 1t was
left untouched until tho following
spring.
On the first day OF April l harrow
ed It twice with an Acme harrow,
breaking the crust thoroughly and
crushing up all small clods. Immedi-
ately afterwards hauled nine one
horse loads OF stable manure and
spread broadcast over 1t.

n'he acre of land on which my corn
was grown was dark-colored, loose
second bottom land, with red clay
subsoil. This land had oats on it in
1910, followed by peas and cane for
forage.
On November 3, 1910. turned this
land with a disc plow about e1ght
inches deep. This was all did to 1T
until the first of April, when broad
casted nine one-horse loads OF stable
manure over it.
On April &c l broadcasted, 900
pounds Of lG per cent phosphoric
acid over it, then l cross-broke 1t five
inches deep with a half shovel plow
to mix the manure ana acid with the
soil. The next day, after narrowing
twice with an Acme harrow, laid
off the rows 3 II feet apart, putting

SOLVING THE ISSUE.
r. HAT highly important depart

HAT highly important depart
Il ment, the Bureau Of Statistics
Of the United States Department OF
Agriculture. has published some fig
ures which should be highly encour-
aging to those who have been going
rather hungry of late.
They show that while beef is dear
er, fruit is cheaper. So all there is
to 1t is to eat fruit.
OF course, in these general aver
ages concerning fruit there are few
little difficulties. They have to be
made up from various parts of the
country. AS the news reports have
repeatedly shown, in certain places
fruit is in such small demand that
it is rotting under the trees. There
are places where vegetables are not
gathered, because 1t would not pay
to do SO. There are other places in
which the Industrious hen is so ac-
tive that it does not pay to gather
eggs. Possibly there are places in
which beef, pork and mutton are a
bore and nuisance.
Those places are not the big cities
and the Industrial towns. In Duluth
fruit has been maintained at high
level of price. 1t does not matter
what the farmer received for it. We
know what We had to pay for 1t. If
the experience Of other cities, except
in unusual and always artificial cir
cumstances. are the same, it is a fact
that those not engaged in agricultural
pursuits, or those not near the fruit
and vegetable raising sections, have
had to pay more for what they wanted
than ever before.
II they do not believe it, all they
have to do is try to buy vegetables
and fruit at the present time. If
they are disappointed, all they have
to do is look at the general average
figures of the Agricultural depart
ment.
