INCREASING THE CORN YIELD
Investigations Show That Much of
Seed of Low Vitality Is the Result
of Improper Methods.

No phase of the corn question calls
for more attention than does that of
securing corn of strong vitality. Upon
this depends the stand of corn in the
field, which in turn is directly respon-
sible for the yield.
In all PARTS of the corn belt II Ia
felt that the average yield is far too
low. This low yield in most instances
Is attributed to poor seed corn.
Therefore, recognizing these condi-
tons, one can readily understand why
farmers should be urged to give at.
tention to this subject
investigations show that much OF
the seed corn Of low vitality is the
result Of late harvesting and improper
methods of storing
Corn should be allowed to mature
on the stalk. In this way the trans
ference of all plant food from the
leaves and stalk to the ear is permit
ted, and the vitality of the corn i:
strongest.
Corn picked when immature is diff
fcult to preserve, due to the large
amount of moisture contained.
However, corn should not be al
lowed to remain too long in the field
During the early part of November
heavy frosts may be expected
At this time the corn on the stalk
contains a high per cent of moisture
and if subjected to heavy frosts has
its vitality materially injured.
Seed corn should be selected from
the stalk in the field. By this method

GROWING THE SWISS CHARD
Vegetable, Little Known to Unred
States Few Years Ago, Gaining
Rapidly in Popularity.

A few years ago this vegetable was
little known in the United States, but
it is now grown in thousands of home
gardens and is on all our truck
farms.
The Italians of our large cities are
especially fond Of it, and the demand
is increasing among Americans.
The leaves are valuable as green's,
and the leaf stems are excellent when
cooked and served on toast in the
same way as asparagus.
The plants are as hardy as cabbage
or lettuce The seed is usually sown
in the open ground where the plants
are to stand all summer. Chard is an
easy crop to start in hotbeds or green
houses, transplanting into cold frames
and finally into the garden. The crop
attains marketable size probably 9
month earlier if glass Is used in start
ing the plants.
These require practically the same
treatment in the hot5ed and the cold
frame as cabbage and may be set in
the field just as early, provided the
plants are properly handled.

bic, all sources of infection. Many dis
eases, as, for example, pear blight
and peach-yellows, can be kept In
check by destroying diseased plants
or parts Of plants as soon as the
trouble is noticed. Wild plants which
can harbor and propagate plant dis
eases should be destroyed. Volunteer
apple trees growing near the orchard
are a constant source of trouble to
the owner. Thorough and intelligent
spraying will reduce the injury arising
from most plant diseases to the min
imum
The same principle applies in large
measure to the treatment Of injurious
insects. Study the habits and prevent,
as far as possible, conditions favorable
to their propagation or wintering over
from one season to another. In treat
ing injurious insects and their destruc-
ton by sprays, we may divide them
into two classes: those which chew
their food, and those which obtain
their food by sucking the juices from
the plants. Nearly all insects of the
former class are easily destroyed by
some form Of stomach poison, while
the latter can be killed only by
contact insecticide.
Many people fear danger from pois-
ontng by eating sprayed fruit and
plants. 1t is not advisable to spray
plants and fruits with arsenica1 pols-
ons shortly before using them, but
there is no danger from fungicides.
Analyses in the chemical laboratory
at the New York experiment station
have shown that one would have to
eat, at one time, about thirty thousand
pounds of sprayed grapes, skins in
cluded, in order to get serious dose
of copper. In regard to pasturing cat
tie in an orchard, no apprehension
need be felt with reference to any
spray as ordinarily applied.
The warfare against plant diseases
and insects varies so much with the
different conditions of climate, soil,
etc, that no hard and fast rule can
be laid down as to the number of times
to spray, nor as to the time of spray
ing.
The spraying should be thorough,
and yet one should avoid using more
than enough to cover trees or foliage
well. In spraying, it always pays to
have good outfit. The pump should
be large and powerful enough to give
sufficient pressure for the proper
working of the nozzle. The cylinder,

be suffocating. He wanted to throw
himself down and hold his hands in

Aronson were not thinking, only run

rapidity Of man falling from a high
building. He was certain only that
he was bound to strike ground.
''An inch is as good as mile!" He
recollected the captains teaching.
"Only one of thousand bullets fred
in war ever kills a man"-but he was
certain that he had heard a million
already. He looked around to find
that he was still keeping up with Eu-
