Maine Dalrylng.

There are three strong points In the
future Of Maine agriculture: the potato,
the COW, and the apple, with many col
lateral smaller interests. Here l car
only emphasize the cow. She needs to
be better bred and better and more
cheaply fed. In her pasture she should
get more feed and not 90 much scenery.
And along with these requirements she
must be multiplied, not only for the
Maine milking, but for Maine selling to
other states not producing COWS. The
excellent markets of the state for dairy
products and dairy stock can be very
profitably enlarged and studied.
There are many very successful COW
test associations producing excellent re
suits educationally and financially; and
much interest Is being aroused in th'
work of community dairy animal breed

The Dinsmore.Kendall Contest.

In the spring OF 1918 Mr.. Thomas
Dinsmore of China offered prize OF
$4,000 to the person in Maine who
would raise the largest amount OF she'll
ed corn, over one hundred bushels, on q
measured acre of land. Later w. b.
Kendall of Bowdoinham added $1,000,
to this prize and offered second prize
of S25. 90 provided some brand OF Sagada-
hoe Commercial Fertilizer was used in
growing the crop.
Twenty three entries were received,
but owing to the difficulties of the sea-
son only six were able TO carry the con-
test throughout the season. Five OF
these had especially fine fields of corn,
and others, who did not make the inal
report, had fields which yielded paying
crops of corn.
The winners were Miss N. c. Burleigh
of yassalboro, with 119.1 bushels, and
George Crocker of Manchester with q
yield of 107 6 bushels.
The Yields secured by the parties who
carried through the contest to the end
of the season point great lesson in the
value of thorough cultivation and OF
more vital seed. To secure prize yields
il is necessary that every hill and every
stalk in the bill be strong and vigorous,
and that each corn plant be given every
possible advantage.
A comparison Of cost in growing corn
for high yields and corn which will only
produce the state average of about 90
busbels per acre shelled corn, is inter
estiug. The cost Of growing one acre OF
corn has been estimated by careful corn
growers in different sections Of the state
TO be not far from $4,000. For this cost,
with fair seed, a farmer should expect in
An average season from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty bushels OF husked
corn per acre. In this contest, in very
uufayorable season, the cost has been
about SOC. 90 per acre for those which Sc
cured the highest yield, and the return
has been nearly double that received oy
the corn grower who expended only
$50 90 in growing his crop.
There is limit beyond which increas'
ed cost of production may not be met
with a proportional increase OF yield and
Of value, but n this state We have
not vet reached that limit. Let US care
for our corn better, put little more ex.
pense in the growing of the crop, and
note any increase in yield. Let US keep
records that we may know the cost OF
crop production and be in position to
saw how far We may 60 in increasing the
cost of growing the crop and be assured
of increased yield to more than balance
the increased cost.
