NUB CORN BEFORE PLANTING
Carefully Conducted Experiments
Have Proven Advantages In Prac-
tlce-lncreases Yield.

AT the North Carolina station care
fully conducted experiments have
demonstrated that it is advisable to
nub corn before planting, for 1t has
been found that, when seed from the
tips and butts of ears are placed In
one plot, and by the side of 1t another
of the same ears, there is a 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 per
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 1t was
possible to secure.

four weeks old may have two or three
nodules 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. 1t Is for this reason that a sec

made to grow alfalfa successfully Is

Unfavorablo Soils.

Clay soils are unfavorable to vege-
tation because the soil is too close and
adhesive to allow the free passage Of
air or water to the roots of the plants.
It also obstructs the expansion OF the
fibers of the roots. Sandy soils are
unfavoravle because they consist Of
particles that have too little adhesion
to each other. They do not retain
sufficient moisture for the nourish-
ment Of the plants. They allow too
much solar heat to pass to the roots.
Chalk soils are unfavorable because
they do not absorb the solar heat, and
are, therefore, cold to the roots of the
plants.

LITTLE GENERAL FARM PAYS
Profit Secured In Poultry rs Well ss
Horses, Mules, Dairy Stock,
Sheep and Hogs.
By w. H. sHEPARDl


A neighbor of ours makes poultry
Q strong side line of his farming. He
grows a great variety of plants and
keeps and feeds a variety of animals.
His poultry sales amount to near
ly 5000 each year and he feeds his
grown chickens nothing except what
they pick up about the place, but
through his methods of cropping and
feeding they secure an abundance,
and respond accordingly.
The same neighbor keeps and grows
horses and mules, dairy stock, sheep
and hogs.
From the poultry and cows he has
a constant daily cash income.
From the horses and mules he sells
each year one or two animals at 500
or more piece.
From the sheep he has wool to sell
In early spring, and lambs later in
the summer, and from the hogs he
sells from 800 to $500 worth every
two or three months.
He grows wheat, oats, corn, hay and
a variety of forage crops, besides
good orchard, truck patches, and gar
den from which nearly all the family
eatables are grown, with some fruits
and vegetables to sell.
He also sells from 800 to 5000
worth of wheat each year, and his
dairy products amount to $500 per
year, and all from farm of less than
100 acres.
Any general farmer who plans and
executes can grow a variety Of plants
and animals on a small farm, make
good money from the crops, and at
the same time build up his land faster
than by special cropping
