BY ISAAC L. TOTEM.

1t is very easy to advise a farmer
as to what he should do to bring about
the best results, but it is not the east
est thing in the world for the farmer
to do the thing advised.
For instance, we might say to our
neighbor that he must be sure to plant
his corn at certain time, and that he
should cultivate it six or seven times
and he might think that we had given
him some good advise; yet it is not
always convenient to do just as We
are told or as we would like to do.
There are SO many adverse condi.
tions that amy arise to make it i'm.
hpossible to handle the crops as they
should be handled.
Under ideal weather and other con
ditions we can expect the best re
suits, but when the spring is back
ward and it rains almost continually
during the spring plowing time, we
are practically forced to do things
that we know are not the best.
The man right on the ground, in
most cases, knows what he must dc
to get out his crop.
One corn grower has announced
that he has raised an average of one
Hundred bushel of corn per acre or
ninety acres.
That is bumper crop for sure and
we would all like to have similar
crops.
However, this farmer adds that he
raised that bumper crop in 1908, anc
has fallen considerably short of tha
yield in the years since that time, ow
ing to adverse conditions.
In reading or hearing of accounts O.
how others have proceeded to grow
large yields, we often get the i'm
preston that we are considerably
backward because we do not do al
we'll
We do not believe that such are the
thoughts of the practical corn grow
ers who tell us of what they have &C
complished; because they know al
well as we do that conditions on al
farms are not equal and that there ar,

POOR CORN CROP OFTEN FARMERS FAULT

so many "ifs" to contend with that
we can not all harvest bountiful crops.
For instance: Last year it rained
SO much during the early spring
months that it was almost impossible
to prepare the ground as it should
be prepared and still get out the crop
in season.
Then too, we had such a continued
drought throughout the entire grow
ing season that the crop was cut
short. There are many things, of
course, that we could do and that we
do not do which would greatly in
crease our average crop yields.
The average yield Of corn through
out this state and throughout Wayne
county could be greatly increased, and
we should all do more toward better
ing our corn crops-we must not place
all the blame on the unreasonable
weather and other adverse conditions
because our crops are not better.
Some of our best corn growers have
crop failures, not total perhaps. new
ertheless they have failures.
But as a general rule they have good
crops when others report poor yields
AS in many other cases we only
hear of the successes of these farm
ers.
When we look through our farm
papers we find mainly articles that
tell of how certain farmers raised
good crops, we seldom read of the
failures because no one cares about
publishing things of that kind, and
few farmers like to tell of their fail
ures either.
1t is for the best, no doubt that the
optimistic be given preference.
If it were not, some of us would be
come too much disheartened to try
to accomplish anything.
1t Is owing to the fact that other,
have done big things in certain line
and that we would all like to accom-
plish as much or more that we buckle
down to business in earnest.
If neighbor Jones can grow bumper
| crops, on soil similar to our own By
practicing certain cultural methods
then, of course if we follow the meth

DDS of neighbor Jones it would seem
that we could also grow bumper crops.
When a well known progressive
farmer takes hold of a run down farm
and eventually has it producing good
crops, we often hear the remark: "Oh.
he can grow good crops on any kind
of SOIL" Just as though he possessed
some sort of magical powers; when,
in fact, he only proceeds along the
lines that make for success.
There are too many "ifs" it seems
behind which we can hide our own
shortcomings.
There is no reasonable excuse for
tive, by proper care, the fertility of
the soil can not only be maintained.
but it can be improved-it would be
deplorable to think that it could not
1t does not require an extensive
scientific education to know how to
fertilize properly.
Experiments in five counties of the
state show an average gain Of 6.6 bush
els of corn per acre due to fertilization
This has been secured at an average
cost of Sill per acre leaving a net
profit of $1.55 per acre, or $1.39 fo1
every dollar invested in fertilizer.
An increase of five bushels on the
average yield per acre would mean ar
annual increase in the value OF ths
corn crop of Indiana of over $4,000; 900
1t is not the fault of the season II
the crop is poor when the proper croI
rotation has not been followed.
A twenty year comparison or cropping
systems on the Experiment Statior
farm shows that corn in various rota
| tions containing clover is now yielding
an average of "a bushels per acre
| more than corn grown continuously
and 20.6 bushels per acre more thar
corn grown in rotation with whea
only.
The last two crops in five differen
rotations on the farm show an aver
age gain of Ill bushels per acre from
an average application of AS tons o
manure per acre.
Time, to be sure, is a factor tha
plays a very important part in the car
rying out of plans on the farm, AM

times to know which is OF the great
est Importance.
There are many things, however,
that we can do in the fall and during
the winter that will help to improve
the corn crop yield
Selecting the seed is one of the most
important considerations, and so Is
taking proper care Of 1t after it Is Sc
lected. The testing can be done dur
ing February and March before the
urgent work of spring begins and it
can and should be done yet If it has
not been done.
Our Indiana corn growers who have
won world wide recognition because
Of their efforts and attainments in
corn growing have proven that Ger
tain cultural methods, proper seed Sc
lection. and correct fertilizing will pro-
duce the prize winning ears.
If these men can accomplish SO
much on soil similar to the soil on our
farms, then it would seem that we
should emulate them.
1t is not theories that we want-al-
though it is through theories that we
get the best in the practical-and 1t is
not theories that these corn growers
give US. They have found out through
experience what must be done to OBJ

profit.
Proper seed selection and testing ia
very important.
Correct fertilizing is also necessary
Right cultivating is absolutely es

the greater portion of this can be
done before the corn is planted we
can save time and money.
