CORN CUTTER GAN
Be MADE CHEAPLY
County Agriculturalist Lee M.
Lampson Tells how to Make
an Efficient Implement
(By Lee M. Lampson)


The remarkably increased
acreage of corn grown under ir-
rigation in Benton county this
year calls for an inexpensive, eff
ficient implement with which to
harvest the crop. Since the ac-
reage of corn grown on the in
dividual farm is so small in al
most all cases as to make the
purchase of corn binder inn
practicable, a satisfactory corn
cutter may be made at home is
especially important at this time.
We have built and used the fol-
lowing described implement and
know what it will do when prop
erly constructed and intelligent
ly used.
With inch boards build plat
form for sled a feet long and
21s feet wide in front and 3Ha
feet wide behind. This will be
the proper size, provided the
corn rows are 31a feet apart.
The exact width of the plat
form should be built will depend
upon the distance between the
corn rows. One side of the plat
form is at right angles with the
ends, while the other side has a
slant of one foot. The platform
is placed upon a single runner
made of a piece of AKA, or other
similarly sized timber. In order
to stand the strain for any
length of time the platform
must be securely fastened to
the runner and thoroughly
cleated. The runner lies paral-
lei with the short side of the
platform, it's front end being
placed in the middle of the front
end of the platform. The single
runner follows the irrigating
ditch between the rows of corn.
This holds the sled solid as the
corn is being cut. Along the un-
, der edge of the long or slanting
side of the platform securely
fasten piece of old mower sic
kle, letting the sections OF the
sickle extent past the edge OF
the platform. This makes a far
better knife than a straight
blade of steel. The sickle should
extend the full length of the
platform. A piece of chain or q
clevis attached to the front enc
of the runner for a hitch com
pletes the cutter.
The sled is drawn by one
horse walking between the rows
of corn, the lines being tied to
/ stake erected on the front enc
of the sled. One man stands or
better still, gets down on on'
knee on the platform and gath
ers the corn into his arms as i
is cut. AS each armful of corr
is gathered it is either droppe'
to the ground in piles or tn
horse is stopped long enough TO
the operator to stand it il
shocks.
Farmers Bulletin No. 303 de
scribes a V-shaped sled with
straight knife on each side. Blu
for the irrigated sections tn
mower sickle cuts the heav
) stalks much better. The singl
. runner follows the irrigatin
; ditch and holds the sled in plac
: so that it will cut on one sid
without sliding sidewise.
l Further inquiry on this sut
ject will be gladly answered.

EFFECT OF WAR ON
THE APPLE MARKET
Growers Must Keep their Heads
Says Gen. Mgr. of North
Pacific Fruit Distributors

Spokane, Aug. 26 ~ Especially
Just how the European war will
effect the Northwestern apple
crop depends in a large measure
upon the growers themselves,
according to J. H. Robbins, gen.
eral manager of the North Pa
cific Fruit Distributors, who re-
turned to Spokane this week af-
ter attending the twentieth an
nual convention of the Interna-
tional Apple Shippers associa-
ton at Boston and subsequently
making a tour of the leading
market centers of the East and
Middle West.
eff there is any demoraliza-
ton of the apple market, it will
come from the growers them
Selves" declared Mr.. Robbins.
Notwithstanding the serious
ness of the situation, l have a
hopeful view that we shall be
able to market our supply sue
cessfully under existing condi-
tons, provided the growers re-
frain from consigning their
crops and avoid a stampede. If
we move the fruit of the North
west in an orderly way there
should be no disaster.
Can't Forecast Result
'The future will be determin-
ed largely by further develop
ments. 1t is useless to forecast
specific effects of the war. The
Distributors are going right
ahead to place themselves in the
most commanding position pos
sible, whatever turn affairs may
take. For instance, S. B. Moo
NAV, our European general
agent, left New York for Liver
pool on the Steamship Cedric of
the White Star Line last Friday
going to England to open our
London office, where he will be
in position to supply us with di-
rect and immediate information
of developments which may af-
feet our exports or the general
trend of our distribution of ap-
Piles.
"The present sentiment of the
fruit men in the east is that No
va Scotia and Maine and other
districts which have been heavy
exporters in the past may not be
able to send many, if any, apples
abroad, in which event that sup.
ply may be thrown back into the
United States. This of course
will have a tendency to put bar
relied apples on a lower price ba
sis, and to that extent that VIZ
t compete with barreled apples We
may have this lower priced pro
duct to contend with-f, o.
: course, the war does actually op
r crate to force their tonnage int
!, our territory at lower price
as suggested. Western Canad'
: is also looking to the Unite'
4 States as an outlet, it is re
ported.
o Crop is Large
Y with this condition is coup
e led a generous production of ap
9 Piles throughout the Unite
e States generally. The crop ar
e pears to be a little less, how
ever, than in 1912, and may b
y further reduced before harves
season. But there are not goin
to be many, if any, speculator'
cash buyers, or heavy order
# this year. The dealers are q
l. ing to purchase from hand t
n mouth until they know NOR
d about the present situation an
