INCREASING THE CROPS.

Rise In Value of Grain Should Brine
Larger Acreage.
As the result Of the rise In the yalue
OF grain there will undoubtedly be a
larger acreage sOwn this year than
ever before. Naturally men are eager
Tor big crop when prices are high.
and this end is partially reached by
sowing a larger acreage. This. how
ever, is only half the story, because OF
equal Importance is the matter OF han
ding such area as is seeded so that a
maximum crop is produced. 1t would
not be a difficult matter to increase
the average yield OF winter wheat to
the extent Of FIVE bushels per acre bv
thorough methods OF tllling. This
means, in the first place, that land for
this crop should not only be well plow-
ed, but deeply plowed. In turn it
should be frequently narrowed so as
to make the seed bed as firm as pos.
sible. In many cases It will pay to
roll the soil. because no combination
OF tillage implements will so effective
ly bring about a proper firming Of the
seed bed as alternately using the har-
row and roller. For some reason or
other winter wheat heaves out in the
spring much more rapidly on a loose
soil than In the case OF q firm one;
hence the great importance OF spend
ing considerable labor on the surface
blowing.
But the matter must not stop there,
as increased yield is not alone the re-
suit Of a good seed bed, but the out
come OF using the right kind Of seed
on the proper kind Of ground. This
means that grain used for seed should |
be graded in order to remove all weed |
seeds and to screen out small, imma.
ture grain and to blow out smut balls
and all other forms Of trash that may |
have been found in the grain when 1t |
left the thrashing machine.
From this matter Of grading grain
alone there may be expected a per
cepdble percentage Of increase in
yield, and this, together with the right
kind Of seed bed, should result In a
increase.
There is another item that should
not be overwhelmingly, the sowing

with a seed picking bag and husk the
ears from the stalks that have pro
duced the most corn without having
any special advantages, such as space
moisture or fertility. He will avoid
the large ears on stalks standing singly
with an unusual amount OF space
around them. He will give preference
to the plants that have produced most
heavily in competition with full stand
Of less productive plants.
In all localities the tendency Of the
plant to produce heavily Of sound, dry.
shelled corn is Of most Importance.
This tendency is passed on from one
generation of corn to the next.
Late maturing plants with ears which
are heavy because OF an excessive
amount of sap he will ignore. Sap
piness greatly Increases the weight and
is likely to destroy the quality. In
many sections this fact is not sufficient
ly appreciated.
In the central and southern states,
all other things being equal, short,
thick stalks are preferable. Short
stalks are not so easily blown down
and permit thicker planting. Thick
stalks are not so easily broken down
and in general are more productive
than slender ones.
The tendency for corn to produce
suckers is hereditary. Other things
being equal, seed should be taken from
stalks that have no suckers.

NO LONGER DANGER OF
CAR SHORTAGETH
SEASON

Some of the potato growers were
quite alarmed for a while over a pro-
spective shortage of cars. We can
assure all that there will be no trou-
BILE along this line. Officials of both
the Pacific Fruit Express and the
Oregon Short Line state that they
have the situation well in hand and
assure the farmers that their pota-
toes will be promptly handled.
The anticipated car shortage here
seems to have been due chiefly to two
circumstances-hrst, misunder-
standing on the part of the O. S. L.
officials as to the number of cars need
ed here for potato shipments; second,
to the unexpected demand for "freez-
ers" for marketing the Emmett peach
crop. Officials of both companies
have rallied to the support of the Can
yon potato growers and it is obvious
that there will be no further car short
age experienced by the potato men
of this district.
The situation, when appealed to the
public utilities commission, resulted
in the visit to Caldwell and Nampa OF
F. M. Murphy of Ogden, travelling
agent OF the Pacific Fruit Express; A.
B. Stevenson of Salt Lake, general
manager of the Oregon Short Line
and c. E. Brooks, tuainmaster of the
Idaho district.
The fruit express company claims
to have 5000 foreign cars leased for
the transportation of the potato and
fruit crop of this section during the
next 90 days.
From six to eight carloads of early
potatoes are being loaded for mar.
