A Prize Corn ESSAY.

In recent issue OF the Jena Times
there appeared a contribution credited
to Master Elby Ray Taylor, which that
paper referred to as ga Prize Corn
Essay" 1t is worthy of reproduction
and particularly timely at this season.
1t follows:
After joining the Boys Corn Club, l
selected for my acre Of corn piece of
clay loan soil that had been previously
we'll drained and carried fairly high
content of humus, by way of stump
manure applied and the growing and
blowing under of heavy crops of cow
peas and vegetable matter during the
years Of 1910 and 1911.
Soil temperature, or moisture condi-
tons, very largely control the life of the
corn plant, and ! lost no opportunity to
keep soil temperature as near normal at
all times as possible by way Of intensive
shallow cultivation. This was not so
difficult since my soil, as stated above,
/
content of humus, or decaying organic
matter, and having been deeply plowed
and SUBSIDIZED during the fall of 1911,
before the winter rains, or at time
when soil temperature was good, and the
subsoil pulverized nicely. This fall
breaking and subsoiiing was about
twelve inches in depth, while great
quantity of pea vines and other vege-
table matter were turned under and in
corporated into the soil, very greatly in
creasing the soil power to hold moisture,
to dissolve digest and assimilate water
and plant food to the growing plant.
During the spring | watched my OPP
portunity and when moisture conditions
were reasonably normal, I thoroughly
disked and dragged my soil to powder
before planting. The texture, physical
and mechanical condition Of my seed
bed was excellent. Now, since the COW
pea is one OF the most valuable legumes
gathering from the air nitrogen and
storing it in the soil and in its foliage,
and since heavy crop Of these had beer
! plowed under during the falls of 1915
and 1911, figured that my soil was nov
: fairly well supplied with that one mos
costly element Of plant food-nitrogen
THAT is, costly when we have it to buy.
\ This being true, reasoned that to us'
\ on the acre $50 pounds Of a high-grad'
!. acid phosphate, thoroughly mixed in tn
y drill, would balance up in the phosphori
g with the nitrogen already in the soil
U which would give me an average yield o
n corn at conservative cost.
g | used Hastings prolific variety Q
: corn, carefully selected in the field las
" fall, and carefully stored. Planted 0
y level four-foot rows. Got fine stand c
~ corn. Spaced plants twenty inches i
. the drill. Began cultivating as soon a
y plants were finger high. Kept the SO
clean, level and thoroughly pulverize
throughout the growing season. Use
Avery's orchard harrow for first cult
walton. After that used the Plane
Junior cultivator, with wing sweep onl.
No cultivation at any time was mol
than two inches deep. | produced 81 an
:. t-1t2 bushels of corn on my acre at
cost Of Is cents per bushel.

Prayer of a Horse.


Only horse, an old one, too,
Working from day to day,
Only WORKOUT nag, tits true,
Flooding his weary way.
A horse that works and works in vain
For his masters word of praise,
A slave that bows to the frightened reign;
A beast that the master flags.
Only horse; but horse with heart
A thin, worn out old bay;
But with spirit strong he plods along
With an accomplishing neigh.
A beast Of burden, by man abused,
Tortured with lash and goad;
But lesson in faithfulness, courage
and toll
This WORKOUT nag Of the road.
Only horse-not brute
But a horse, patient, tired old bay.
The brute is the one that applies the
! lash,
Not the one who receives the flay.
He labors hard for his masters greed,
He endures the toll and pain;
But the look Of despair from his eyes is
a prayer
An appeal to be humane.
Selected.
