SUGGESTIONS ON CORN GROWING
Method Of PLANTING

Method OF Planting
The difference in yield between
planting in check or in the drill Is
slightly in favor Of the latter, but
generally the difference Is not great
enough To pay for the extra labor
required 10 destroy the weeds In the
drill. A good rule 10 follow is: II
the land is foul with weed seed, or
labor is scarce, check the corn; IL
the land is clean, either method can
be employed; II 10 is rolling land.
drill the corn by all means.
Rate Of Planting
Yield is closely related to the rate
Of planting. II big results are ex-
pected, plant as thick as the land
will bear. Generally thicker plant
ing than is customary will give
greater yield.
Always plant enough OF corn 10
insure stand. as replanting seldom
pays. The rate OF planting depends
upon the fertility and preparation
Of the land. On good soils three
stalks per hill. in 3h foot checks.
or "a inches apart in an foot rows.
is about the right thickness. On
average soils like we have in the
mountains and a large part Of the
blue grass sections, 2 stalks per hill,
,br is inches in the drill. advised. On
poor soils such as should not be
planted 10 corn. thin. rather than
heavy planting gives the best yields.
Depth Of Planting
Plant only deep enough TO insure
moisture for good termination. Early
in the spring on well prepared
seed bed. one inch Is deep enough.
Later, two or three inches may be
necessary.

GOOD IDEAS FOR CLEANUP
CAMPAIGN.

Various localities where clean
up and paintup crusades are
waged appoint special commit
tees OF women and girls to aid
in the work.
Also many schools organize
their pupils into bands Of dirt
annihilators. The young folks
are found to be especially effec-
tive in this sort Of activity.
Most Of them like to feel that
they have become old enough
and big enough to assist the
grownups in doing the grown
ups work.

A UNIQUE AUTO PARTY

An automobile party that turned
the writer fairly green with envy pas
sed through the city early Monday
morning. 1t consisted of man and
his wife, and eight children, all load
ed into a four-passenger Ford. The
children ranged from a husky six
months old mixer to a sturdy boy of
Is, proudly disporting his first pair
of long trousers. There were two,
two base hits in the number. A huge
tent wrapped around the pole was
strapped on each side of the car, and
on each of these sat two boys facing
each other; the mother and the three
small kids occupied the back seat and
the father and daughter occupied the
front seat. The cover was padded tive
feet deep with sleeping paraphanalia.
The party were on their way from
southern Minnesota to Eagle Lake
Otter Tail county, for a two weeks
camping picnic and they fairly radiat'
ed peace, contentment, happiness ano
don't re-a-damnitiveness. We have
witnessed milionaires, with million
dollar outfits junketing and the jun
keteers did not have half the fun thai
this boy-dad and girl-looking mother
were having with their cheap old
fashioned outfit. "And the Little Oh
Ford Ramb1ed Right Along"

SCIENTIFIC FARMING PAYS

The Great Northern Agricultural
expert in checking up the 5-acre plot
of S. P. WINNER, of Albany, Mimi,
stated that remarkable crop had
been threshed on the WINNER farm on
Sept. list. With respect to the 5-acre
plot, the following yield was reported:
21s acres, treated with acid phosphate
400 lbs to the acre, yielded 1913 1-3
bushels per acre. 21a acres, not treat
ed with fertilizer, yielded 93A bushels
oats per acre. The two pieces are OF
the same tract of land, were seeded at
the same time with the same kind OF
seed and worked alike. 1t conclusively
proves, therefore, that the fertilizer
was responsible for an increase of ap-
proximately 80 bushels per acre. This
fertilizer sells at $13.65 per ton f. o. b
Albany. Mr.. WINNER has entered q
sheaf of oats for exhibit at the
Stearns County fair. Mr.. Winners
crops this year averaged as follows;
wheat, 33 bushels, barley 53R bushels
rye PAN bushels. The 5-acre plot
averaged Ill bushels per acre.
