BEST THIRTY EARS OF CORN
From Any Portion of the Unlled States
How Produced.

Competing with exhibitors from
eveIy seution of the United States,
Mr. w H Dorm of Clover, V!rgieia,
showed the best thirty ears of corn
at the Madison Square Garden Land
and Irrigation Exposition in Novem-
Der and was awarded the 81, 900
silver cup offered by the lnterna-
tional Harvester Company.
Briefly put, Mr. Dorin's story"
of how he made his good record
yield is: With 200 pounds of Key
Tree Brand Thomas Phosphate just
before the corn was planted and
then 200 pounds more per acre when
the corn was about two feet high.
This. with turning under a good crop
of crimson clover. was the whole
story unless the deep plowing and
subsoiling given the land last year
helped to do il"
This is not the first time Thomas
Phosphate has produced priZe-win-
ming corn yields. Corn grown with
Thomas Phosphate took several first
premiums last year at the Columbia,
sc, Corn Show-won all premiums
offered by one South Carolina coun-
ty. Those who propose going in

Wealthy Californans Are Spending
Thousands in Fighting a
New Blight.

San Francisco-A considerable for
tune is being spent by wealthy Cali
fornians in an effort to save groves
on beautiful estates near this city
from a blight that has recently at
tackled most of the trees. Tree sur
geons are gathering here from vari-
Gus parts of the country and are
working hard under offers Of large
rewards If they can stop the destruc-
ton. Should they fail, 1t is probable
that foresters will be brought from
Europe.
The blight is in the form of fun
gus known as the volsaria bacteria.
After It has taken hold on tree thou
sands of worms develope. They are
much like the carpenter borer. These
pierce the bark through and through,
and sometimes make large holes,
Their ravages we're not detected until
many of the fine shade trees wilted
this season and were threatened with
quick death. Tree authorities of Stan,
ford university were called in and
found that the blight extended among
the estates in beautiful Menlo park
They also discovered that the disease
was spreading rapidly to the north.
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1912-07-31
Fortune To Save Trees

The Stanford scientists could not
tell the source of the blight, and then
the surgeons from the east were call
ed in, among them G. H. Bishop, who
was trained at the Yale School Of
Forestry. The only thing that has
served to help the trees has been to
remove the fungus when found and
plug the holes made by the borers
with cement. In some instances as
high as $500 has been spent to save a
single tree, and the total expense will
run high into the thousands.
One theory is that the germ of the
fungus has been brought in from
Asia, from which many trees have
been imported to beautify the grounds
of wealthy men. 1t is probable that
investigators will be sent to Japan
and China in an effort to trace the dis
ease.
Pine forests throughout the north
west Pacific coast are also being de-
vastated. A species of beetle lays its
eggs in the bark of the tree, From
them come grubs that grow inside the
bark and feed on the tree until they
are developed, when they bore out and
become beetles which fly away to de.
stroy other trees. Hundreds of in.
fected pines have been cut down and
state and government authorities are
cooperating with lumbermen in an eff
fort to wipe out the pest.
