FURTHER SUGGESTIONS FOR FARMERS
REGARDING THE COMING CORN CROP
Prof Crabee the State Agricultural College Attention TO the
Importance of the Proper Preparation of the Seed Bed
Before Planting-DOnt Depend Upon the
Rainfall.
IKE all other farm crops,

IKE all other farm crops, the
corn plant requires a suitable
seed bed. To insure it, the
thoughtful farmer loses no opportun-
ity TO take advantage of natures de-
veIopment of plant-food by every pos
sible means. When il is remembered
that plants take their food in liquid
form, the importance of retaining
soilmOisture, constantly, for the de-
velopment of plant-sood Scan be fully
comprehended, for it is at once rec
OgniZed that a mass of dry clods ex-
posed to sun and wind can not be
contributing TO such development. 1t
is, therefore, unwise to handle a field
so as to reduce it to that condition;
one of the most common mistakes.
Some argue that because they may
reasonably expect excessive rainfall
at a later period, it is sufficient ex-
cuse for them TO, in turn, subject
their fields to excessive drying, which
is incorrect. Development of plant
food ceases with either extreme, and
the fact that the field is at times
too wet should only spur US to an
extra effort to see to it that we do
not permit the other extreme to exist.
The proper nitrification of the soil
does not take place during periods
when it is so water-soaked as to ex-
clude the air. It behooves US to see
to it that surplus water is conducted
from the field, which can be facili-
tated by surface grading or laying the
field off in fat Ioaves Gas it were)
as is so common in eastern England
where there is much excessive rain
fall
Where this is properly arranged
for, and where the subsoiI is porous
enough to assist materially in pass
ing excessive moisture downward, all
is well in this respect. However,
in many parts Of Kansas, impervious-
ness of the subsoil demands that we
go farther and correct the deficiency
by tile-drainage; thus carrying OF
even more of the surplus water by
the lower route and in so doing fore
ing much more air through the soil;
with its attendant sweetening and
otherwise beneficial effects.

DIsFIGURED WITH CRUsTS

Some time ago I was taken with

The high cost of living has caused
widespread efforts towards increased
efficiency in methods of production
and distribution Of food products.
The egg-industry is an industry in
which enormous losses are sustained
through decomposition, breakage and
incubation. He who has seen the
wagon-loads of rotten eggs hauled
from the establishments of big egg
dealers, must understand the tremen-
dous waste. The value of the poultry
and eggs produced in the United
States, exclusive of insuIar posse
sions, represents about the same
value as the hay or wheat crop, the
latter being estimated at about 500
million dollars. OF course, the losses
connected with the egg-industry are
corresponding large and it is won

forts were made to save the millions
of dollars lost by the spoilage of eggs.

summer months the farmer and deal
er has to use, the greatest care to
prevent the deterioration of fertile
eggs. This should be remembered
when we discuss, later on, the Gus
tOmary methods of handling eggs.
1t has been found that a much
larger percentage of newly-laid, fer
tilted eggs contain bacteria than OF
unfeTtilized eggs. Bacteria are intro
duced into the viaduct where they
infect the eggs.
Incubation causes not only the loss
of fortified eggs, but Indirectly also
of sound, infertile eggs. This is
brought about in the following man
ner: During development of the
young chick the latter derives the
largest part of the lime it requires
from the shell. Other material is also
removed from the shell. The shell
therefore becomes extremely brittle
and very liable to breakage Entire
ly sound eggs may be covered or
soiled with the contents of such
broken, incubated eggs This egg
meat on the shell of other eggs soon
teens with bacteria. Many of these
bacteria possess the faculty to pene-
trate through the pores of the shell,
invade the contents, and bring about
their decomposition
Decomposition can be prevented, to
a great extent, by proper care Of
the fowls and eggs. Decomposition
is almost exclusively due to the ac-
tivity of micro-organisms. These
heterogeneous, especially bacteria,
may infect the egg during its forma-
ton, as well as after it is laid.

J. HAM LEWIS ASKS
FOR LAND JUDGEMENT

WASHINGTON, D.. G., Feb. 2a.-J.
Ham Lewis. he OF the pink whiskers,
appeared In the Supreme Court of
the United States today. not as a
lawyer. but as litigant to appeal to
the court to make good his title to
a quarter section OF land in the State
of Washington.
The lower court decided that half
the land belonged to Edith Krleg. sub
ject to a lien for taxes paid by Lewis
under the misunderstanding that he
owned all of it. Lewis claims sole
possession on the ground that Mrs.
Krieg's father and stepmother had
conveyed the title to him.
The one thousandth case was en-
tered upon the docket of the Supreme
Court today. indicating that the
court is falling still further behind
In disposing Of cases and that the
congestion before the tribunal Is in
creasing instead Of diminishing. Case
No. 1000 was not docketed during
the last term until April 15. .
