creased only 80 per cent. That
is, the per capita in this coun-
try have arisen from a $6. 80 to
$11. These figures project
more a moral than an economic
question. The situation is ac-
companied by increased extrav-
agance, more social disturb
ance, greater labor troubles, an
increase of crime, a lessening

weaker religious purpose.

much a nation can spend and
at the same time maintain it's

INSURE CORN CROP

The state ayr icultural college
has sent out the following
This is the time to insure
next years corn crop. The
corn is now maturing. if the
seed did not come from too far
south. BY selecting the seed
corn in the field attention can
be given to the time of matur-
ity, kind of stalk grown on and
how placed on stalk.
In selecting remember that
as corn natures early the ears
tend to decrease in size. This
must be overcome by selecting
the largest ears that mature
early. The earliest maturing
ears are produced the nearest
the ground; so this tendency
can be overcome by selecting
early maturing ears that are
produced high enough from
the ground so that they can be
cut with the corn binder.
The seed corn should be
husked and hung up where the
air circulates freely. 1t con-
tains a good deal of moisture
and this should be dried out.
If it is done too slowly the corn
is apt to mold and it must also
be kept in mind that in case
the corn freezes before it is dry
the germ is weakened, if not
killed.
Another question that comes
up is how ripe the corn must
be to grow. Corn in the roast
ing stage will grow. 1t must
be handled with a good deal of
care as the corn contains a
great deal of moisture at this
time and fermentation and
mold start quickly. It should
not be dried with too much
heat either. Room tempera-
ture is good provided there is
circulation of air to carry away
the moisture.
One of the best ways for car
rying the corn, when selecting
it in the field. is in a sack with
a rope or strap to hang it over
the shoulder. Attach the strap
to a corner of the top and a
corner of the bottom of the
sack.
In case one does not have a
field of corn mature enough for
seed, it may be worth while to
buy a few bushels from a
neighbor but with the privi-
lege of selecting it in the field.
Corn has the most food value
for fodder or ensilage when it
is nearly mature, 90 no matter
for what purpose grown the
corn that natures is the most
valuable.
