KANSAS SHOULD GROW MORE OF THIS KIND OF CORN.

which it is to be planted should be OBJ
tanned within a radius Of seventy-five
to eighty miles, if possible.
In northeastern Kansas, there is
sufficient good corn of the 1912 and
1913 crops available to supply the To-
cal demand for seed. In few favored
localities in southeastern Kansas,
considerable corn was produced and
see9 from these localities should be
secured for planting in this portion
of the state if it is available. If not.
seed from Missouri should be OBJ
tanned, that grown directly east and
as near home as possible preferred.
For north-central Kansas, consider.
able seed of the 1912 crop is avail
able and whenever possible this corn
should be secured. There is probably
enough good seed of old corn in that
portion of the state to plant large
per cent of the acreage providing all
of it is put on the market for seed.
Corn from east-central and eastern
Nebraska and southwestern Iowa
should be the next choice of seed
The same thing applies to central
Kansas with the exception that 1912
corn from northeastern Kansas should
be preferred to that from more dis
tant sources to the northeast,
For south-central and southern
Kansas, varieties of corn from central
Oklahoma that will be sure to mature
in the comparative shorter season in
Kansas should be preferable to that
obtained several hundred miles north
or northeast. In bringing corn north
there is always danger of getting
varieties that will not mature. There
is also danger in sending too far
north for seed, in shat the corn OBJ
tanned is too early maturing to take
advantage of the longer growing sea-
son for the locality in which it is in
troduced Other conditions being
equal, any small, early variety canot
produce as much as a variety having
longer growing period. Nature can
not do as much in ninety days as can
be done in 100 days.
Another thing to be avoided as far
as possible is obtaining seed of varie-
ties of corn grown in and adapted to
bottom land for planting on thin up
land Bottom land corn may be supe-
rior in size and quality of ears, but
1t is not adapted to upland conditions
and will not, as a rule, produce as
well as upland grown seed of good
vitality and of suitable variety.

COST OF PULLING HEDGES
Edward C. johnson, of the Agricul-
tural College, Describes Work and
Expense Of Operation.

Considerable pulling of hedges has
been done in Leavenworth county
and through the county agent, P. H.,
Ross, the following figures on cost
have been obtained from L. c. Clark,
who is doing such work:
Engine six days at $500 per day,
$4,000; coal, $500 pounds at $3.50 per
ION, $4.3S; four laborers, six days at
$3.50 per day, $50 90; one team six
days at $3.50 per day, $500.
This was old hedge with the trees
eight to ten inches in diameter. The
stumps had been burned level with
the ground so that digging had to be
done to obtain place to fasten the
chain. The whole root system of each
stump was pulled out completely,
some of the upturned roots appearing
to be from Is to 20 feet long. There
was in all $50 rods of the hedge and
the entire cost of pulling was $79,SS
which Is about A cents per rod
Conditions for the removal OF the
stumps could scarcely have been more
unfavorable but it seems that the cost
of such work when done in the right
way is very slight compared with the
benefits derived
