HARVESTING CORN.

Corn may be harvested in the follow
ing ways:
/. Removing leaves before ears thor.
oughly mature, later harvesting the
ears.
2. Cutting off tops of stalks just
above ear and later harvesting same,
as is done where stripping the stalks.
3. Removing ears and shuck but
leaving stalk in field.
4. Removing ears only, leaving the
shuck and stalk in field
5. Cutting entire plant just before
maturity and shocking it in the field
to feed as dry fodder.
6. Cutting entire plant and putting
it into a silo for ensilage.
The first two methods should not be
used because it is too expensive to
secure roughage for feeding purposes.
If this was all the practice would not
be so bad, but the yield is decreased,
according to the results of southern
experiment stations, from 10 to 20 per
cent. The stripping of corn has been

ern portion of the state, where 1t can
really be least afforded Yields on
those lands is one-third to one-half of
what it is on the more fertile alluvial
soils. Those who still desire to secure
their bulky feed stuffs by this method
will never become assets to the state
as corn growers.
The bulk of corn in Louisiana is pull
ed shuck and ear together. 1t is done
with the idea that the shuck is a pro-
lection from the weevil, which is true
to some extent IL the weevil has not
attacked the ear in the field. Where
the weevil is under the shuck at time
of harvesting it is better to remove all
covering from the ear, leaving that
portion in the field. Shucks are usual
ly very tight on the ear in warmer
climates, but with the husking peg or
hook, which is worn on the hand, it
may be very easily and quickly re-
moved. This will, no doubt, become
the practice of harvesting corn in all
the cotton states. BY storing in tight
cribs the weevil can be much easier
combated with rbon-bisulphide.
The cutting of fodder" (stalk and
earl is not practiced in the Gulf Coast
states, as the deterioration of corn in
this condition is large.
Ensilage is one of the best products
of corn for feeding purposes, as one
can save and feed the whole plant
without any material loss IL cane Is
used to pack silage when filling the
silo. Corn for this purpose should be
fairly well advanced towards maturity;
the shucks and the lowest four or five
leaves beginning to turn yellow.-A. F.
Kidder, Professor Of Agronomy, L.S.U.

Convention opposers must not forget
that there will be a deficit of about
100000 in the states future revenues
as already appropriated. If they think
by STAYING off convention they will
also escape extra taxation, in one form
or another, to meet that deficit, then
they are most certainly pursuing vain
imaginations. 1t were better to have
1t proposed through a new constitu-
tion which they may accept or refuse
according to it's merits, than by leav-
ing it to future legislature. 1t is also
quite possible that through the economy
of abolishing the fee system and some
of the sinecural Offices that even the
extra taxation may be obviated.

THE RED CROSS SOCIETY.

Since the beginning of the great war
in Europe, representatives of the
American Red Cross Society have
been at work in each of the warning
countries. This service has been pure
ly voluntary, and was the result of i
desire to do as much as possible 10
relieve human suffering.
The expenses of the work have been
borne by subscriptions of Americans,
the warning countries doing nothing
to support the enterprise. Chief
among the subscribers has been the
Rockefeller Foundation Indeed it was
the large amounts given by this or
ganization that made possible the
placing of the coops in the field.
Lack of funds now causes the with
drawal of the American Red Cross
workers from the field after a years
labor This is the longest any Red
Cross society has given its survives
free to foreign countries. Americans
are proud of their Red Cross and view
with genuine regret its enforced with
drawal from the battle fields of Eu-
rope, where there is so much more to
be done.

FOR NEW EXPERIMENT FIELDS
Experiment Station Plans to Extend
Work to Three More Counties.

NJ F. Miller, professor of soils Of
the College of Agriculture, has re-
turned from a trip to Butler, Green
and Laclede Counties, where the Ex-
pertinent Station cuntemplates locat-
ing experiment fields. The work of
the soils department is to determine
conditions of fertility, drainage and
acidity of the soil.
Experiment fields are now located
in Christian, Pike, Knox, Linn, Jas
per, Nodaway, Scott, Phelps, Frank
lin, st. Charles, Audrain and Henry
counties.
After deciding upon the location of
the fields, man is employed to do the
work under the direction of the Ex-
pertinent Station. The test on each
experiment field covers a period of
five or six years, after which time a
bulletin is published giving the re-
suits of the test and recommending
soil handling for the locality.
A new acidity test is being used by
the Experiment Station. The test
originated with the Wisconsin Exper-
iment Station, and is known as the
Truog test. BY it can be determined
not only soil acidity, but suggestion
of the amount of lime necessary to
sweeten the soil. The test has been
made here by r. R. Hudelson of the
department of soils. Farm advisers
will be furnished with the necessary
equipment for making the Truog test
The equipment is simple and practical
for farm use, and can be obtained for
about six or seven dollars.
