Fodder Cutting md Soil.

There is much said now about the
value OF corn fodder by those who adj
vocate the use Of the silo. II Is true
that the corn plant at maturity. ex-
elusive OF the ear. contains much valu-
able feed II properly harvested and
stored. says the Kansas Journal
Yet experienced ones say that there
are few ways of more quickly killing
the soil than to grow corn and remove
all the crop by cutting the fodder.
1t is good farm practice to cut I'D
the corn and feed il on the place. pro
vided that land from which 1t Is Gu,
IS Immediately manfred to restore the
plant food elements taken from Il by
tho crop.
When no equivalent is returned tho
soil is left sadly depleted OF its bal
anced chemical store of life-producinr
clements.
The ear of corn. being largely starch
and composed of water and carbon di-
oxide, free compounds OF the atmos-
phere. does not remove much fertility
from the soil. But the entire corn
plant contains nitrogen, potassium and
phosphorus which the soil can III spare.
These cornstalks should be allowed
to remain In the field and he plowed
under the following season to return
these vital elements and form soil

Strawberry Growing.

Professor Lazenby gives the follow
ing summary of essential points TO be
kept in mind:
The most profitable varieties for the
commercial growers are those not
easily Influenced by differences of soil
and climate. Those which succeed well
on wide areas are usually better than
those which have mere local repu-
tation.
Pistillate varieties when properly
terilizcd are more productive than
the sorts with perfect flowers.
The value OF n variety for fertilizinS
Disti!late flowers does not depend so
much upon tho amount as upon tho
potency of the pollen.
The flowers of pistillate varieties are
less liable 10 be injured by frost han
the flowers OF perfect varieties.
Varieties that are neither very early
nor very late IN point of maturity are
the most productive and have tn.
longest fruitinG season.
AS q rule, varieties that have the
most vigorous and healthy foliage are
the most productive. while those with
weaker growth Of foliage and Il
greater susceptibility TO leaf blight are
usually more prolific.
Winter protection may be dispensed
with upon well-drained sandy soils.
but appears to he necessity upon
heavier ones.
