REASONS FOR Low CORN YIELD.
Expert AccoWnts for Poor Results
Obtained in Louisiana.

Professor A. f. Kidder of the L..
s. u. Department of Agronomy gives
the following reasons why Louisiana
farmers average only Is to % bush
els of corn per acre:
/. Three one-crop systems-cot-
ton. cane, and rice. 1.-THE boil Wee
vii and tariff have made it necessary
to think of other crops, SO the one
crop systems do not enter into our
agriculture as formerly. Let US get
away from the single crop idea as
soon as posslble.)
2. Corn has usually been planted
on land that has been cropped for
several consecutive years in cotton,
cane, or rice.
8. seed-bed for corn has not
been sufficiently well prepared pc
cause of lack of time from the other
crops.
4. Turning ploWs have been used
for cultivating, making shallow work
impossible.
5. Cultivation has not been fre
quent enough.
&. The seed planted has not been
selected, but usually shoveled out ot
the crib at time of planting.
Z. Too much seed has been i'm
ported from the northern states.
s. Not sufficient attention giyer
to the use of fertilizers.

HELPING THE HOME FARMER.
Market Day Plan Bound to be Pro
ductive of Good Results-First
Test at DonaIdsonvilIe indica-
tive of Future Development.

In casting about for better mar
keting facilities for farm products,
which means agricultural develop
ment, a farmers market plan, for
ready disposal of surplus farm pro-
duction, was proposed some time ago
by DR.. Dalrymple, of the Louisiana
State University, says Modern Farm
ing. This project, it is interesting
to note. has already been adopted by
several communities in the south
ern portions of the state, with 9th
er sections promising soon to fol-
low.
Working along lines somewhat
similar to plans of community oper-
alton successfully pursued in Europe,
in brief, the proposition is for the
monthly gathering together, in one
central point, of variety of farm
products for sale to toWnspeople or
for farmers inter-trading, the mar
ket to be kept open one or two
days of each month. This brings
buyer and seller into direct contact,
thus establishing the much desired
increased demand for locally raised
products. Free opportunity is given
to all to dispose of the farm stuffs,
whether they be vegetables or eggs,
poultry, sheep or hogs. This fosters
the "buy-at-home'' movement IA a
most helpful manner, and works for
the betterment of the farmer in
many ways. Primarily, it insures
him a larger measure of profit on
the goods then disposed of; but
more important still, it means in
creased incentive for the perfecting
5of plans for establishing regular
disposal of the product of
the farm from farmer to consumer.
Last month the progressive sugar
belt town of Donaldsonville held it's
first parish market day, and interest
was further aroused in the event by
the merchants cooperation, they
awarding special prizes for the best
offerings in different classes. This
lent an air of competition, from
which both the sellers and buyers
profited, for housekeepers found to
their surprise that things for the ta-
Bile were obtainable right at home
that they were previously unaware
of; in accordance, patronage was lib
eral, and the first test of the
monthly market plan was pronounced
an unqualified success.

AMERICAN RED CROSS.
Splendid Humanitarian Society Stead
lily Growing In This Country.

The substantial growth of the
American Red Cross organization
during the past year is. described in
an article in the January number OF
the American Red Cross Magazine.
During 1914 there was an increase
of AZ Red Cross chapters in the
United States and an increase OF
Red Cross members of all classes OF
approximately 5000.
The American Red Cross thus far
has sent to the distressed countries
Of Europe 1872 skilled surgeons and
enrolled Red Cross trained nurses,
vast quantities of medical and surgi-
cal supplies, and ship1oads Of warm
clothing and other useful donations
for the destitute women and children
and other non-combatants. It has
also sent numerous large contribu-
tions of money.
The American official relief organ.
ization has been able to carry on
this gigantic work as a result only
of years of steady planning and sys-
tematizing.
