NEW DATA ABOUT CORN.
Shape Of Ears Bears a Relation to tho
Yield.

Shape Of Ears Bears a Relation to tho
Yield.
The superintendent of the Texas sub
station at Temple. after a careful
study of the relation Of shape of ear
to yield Of corn. concludes that slight
~ tapering parent ears give the high
est yield. This is in accord with the
results of experiments at the Ohio ex-
pertinent station. in which extremely
tapering ears gave slightly higher re-
suits than cylindrical ears. High yields
We're associated with comparatively
smooth kernels of slightly more than
average depth and Of medium horni-
ness. The yield increased with an in
crease in the total weight of the ear as
determined by slight increase in length,
amount Of grain and rather marked in
crease in weight of cob.
In experiments at the Ohio and Ne
braSka experiment stations it was
found that the highest yields were OBJ
tained with medium to medium long
ears. Poorly filled butts and tips were
more frequently associated with we'll
filled butts than with we'll filled tips.
The old score card placed much EN-
phasis on good filing of butts and tips.
but for several years past investiga-
tors have been getting away from
this idea. 1t has been found that
these characters when highly develop
ed are usually so developed at the ex-
pense of more valuable characters.
such as yield, constitution, etc. There
appeared to be no relation between
yield and Smelling percentage and cir
conference and width or thickness Of
kernel.

Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that ''rapid
eating is slow suicide" If you
have formed the habit of eating
TOO rapidly you are most likely
suffering from indigestion or con-
s~tipation. which will result even
tually in serious illness unless cor.
re ,ted. Digestion begins in the
mouth. Food should be thorough
ly masticated and insallvated
Then when you feel a fullness of
the stomach or feel dull and stu
pid after eating, take one of
Ohamberlalns's Tablets. Many
severe cases of stomach trouble
and constipation have been cured
by the use of these tablets. They
are easy to take and mest agree.

UNPRoDUcTtvE BLACK SOILS.

Unproductive black soils are
OF swampy origin and mtkt have
an adequate system Of drainage
before permanent Improvement
can be btained.
Both peat and unp"oductive
black l.: peaty sand soils are
more often deficient in potash
than any other element. and pot
ash can nearly always be ap-
piled to such soils at a decided
profit.
Some black soils are found to
he more or less acid. Where there
. is strong acidity some form of
basic lime. such as pulverized
limestone. should be applied.
On acid soils phosphoric acid
is almost always needed in adj
dition to limestone. Potash is
usually a secondary need on such
soils.
Nitrogen is not necessary as a
fertilizer on unproductive black
soils. except in a few cases.
Potash and phosphoric acid
will remain in the soil until used
loose sands and gravels except
ed, so there need be no fear of
loss in making large applications
of mineral fertilizers.
A field plat test is the only sure
method of determining the ferti-
lizer treatment needed, although
the character of the vegetation
is an indication.
Chemical tests are sometimes
an indication. but they are too
unreliable to be entirely depend
ed upon to determine fertilizer
requirements.-From Bulletin of
Illinois Experiment Station.

THURSDAY, MARCH S, 1914.
THOROUGH PROBE NEEDED.

The people of North Dakota, large
Iy through he columns of The Fo-
rum. have been getting a lot Of light
lately on the matter OF terminal
marketing of grain. There have been
charges and counter charges. There
is one fact that stands out high and
clear in all this discussion. 1t is
this:
The farmers are not getting a
square deal at the terminals.
There is another fact that The Fo~
rum believes Of equal Importance. 1t
is this:
There is a crying need for a thor
ough, impartial and unbiased investi-
CATION Of this whole terminal market
ing proposition.
1t is charged that the Chamber Of
Commerce of Minneapolis, the Duluth
Board Of Trade, and the Chicago
Board of Trade absolutely control the
grain market and that these boards
set the prices that the farmers re-
ceive for their grain.
Whether or not these boards have
as much power as is popularity be-
lieved, it is a ~self-evident fact that
the farmer on one hand and the con
sumer on the other is contributing
q great deal of wealth that is being
piled up by men who are apparently
needless middlemen. These boards OF
trade and chambers of commerce
maintain that they fill an economic
need. Let them prove it before an in
vestigatlon board that will have pow
err to let the white light OF publicity
into every corner Of the whole termi-
nal proposition.
And while an investigation is on,
let the Equity Cooperative exchange
be probed as fully, as thoroughly and
with as little bias as every other Or
R~anization.

The Troubles of Latin-A1nerica

New York Journal of Commerce: 1t
is just three years ago that a Pan
American Commercial conference was
held in Washington for the avowed
purpose Of promoting closer and more
extensive trade relations between the
United States and the, twenty Latin
American republics The protagonist
Of this gathering declared it to be his
confident belief that the next ten years
would be a Latin-American decade
that all the world would then be study
ing and watching Latin America, and
that a. material, economic, intellectual
and political advancement would be
witnessed in Latin-Anaerica rivaling
that which had been accomplished in
the United States. The speaker said
that were it not for the lamentable
ignorance which prevails throughout
the United, States in regard to the peo-
pies, institutions, resources and gov
'ernments Of this section of America,
his statement would not seem in the
least surprising. He went on to. say
that twenty republics. varying in size

with milk. ..... ....
Being practical farmers and stock

portunity offered itself to secure some
