NUB CORN BEFORE PLANTING


AT the North Carolina station care
fully conducted experiments have
demonstrated that it Is advisable to
nub corn before planting, for it has
been found that, when seed from the
tips and butts of ears are placed in
one plot, and by the side Of it another
Of the same ears, there is q larger
percentage Of dwarfed and barren
stalks on the plot planted in tip and
but kernels than from the other, and
hence less yield Of shelled corn pei
acre
AS both plots were planted on the
same type Of soil, and treated in the
same way BY Fertilization and cultiva,
ton. it Is strongly probable that the
decreased yield Of the plot sown in
butt and tip grains was due to the
seed, as all other conditions were as
nearly identical for both as it was
possible to secure.

Early InolcuIatIon.

1t is interesting to examine young
alfalfa plants and note how quickly
they obtain the benefit Of nitrogen
gathering bacteria. Plants less than
four weeks old may have two or three
Inodules on single root and have a
countless number OF bacteria furnish
ing nitrogen from the air. When land
is first inoculated by the use of soil
from an old field one may find much
unevenness in the size of plants at
an early age, due to the fact that the
taller plants are getting an abundance
of nitrogen, while the smaller plants
have few or no bacteria at work for
them It is for this reason that sec
ond seeding on land that has been
made to grow alfalfa successfully il
much surer than q first seeding.

MRS. j. v. PUETT

The light of another home went
out Thursday afternoon when Mrs.
j. ". Puett crossed over the Great
Divide at her Carlin home.
Mrs. Puett was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Bruce who passed
away in Elko a few years ago. She
was born in Yanktown, South Da-
kota, august 81, 1874. At an early
age she came to EikO with her par
euts and resided here until her
marriage 10 Mr.. John W. Puett of
Carlin on September ,, 1896. Ten
children we're the fruits of this I'M
ion. Seven boys and girls ranging
in age from sixteen years to eigh-
teen months, are bereft of a moth
er's love and a mothers care.
Mrs. Puett was devoted to her
home and family. She lived only
for them. Now that she is gone
from them, may the memory of
her self sacrifice and her devotion
to her home be to the children and
father more precious than gold and
more enduring than brass. May
God guard and protect the mother
less children.
Beside Mr.. Puett and children,
