Proportion of IntertilIed Crops Affects
Farm Yields.
Farm management specialists are
recognizing that there is a fairly de-
finite relation between the proportion
Of farm devoted to intertilled crops
and the yields from the farm as
whole. The problem is stated in this
way by the Q. S. department of agri-
culture:
Given hundred acres to be devoted
to crops in general farming. what pro-
portion should be devoted TO corn or
other intertilled crops in order to Sc
cure the most favorable effect OF crop
yields?
The department believes that the an
S"CA ~ Ills 4UeStAoH CdA approximate
~ be determined, locally, for any Civ
en- type of farming on any gwen type
of soil. Recent surveys conducted by
the Office of farm management indi-
cate that for Chester county, Pa, and
for the corn belt of Illinois it is about
thirty-seven acres, and that for Lena
Wee county, Mich, it is about thirty
two acres. 1t was found that farms
devoting to intertilled crops areas
ranging from 30 TO 81 per cent of total
crop acreage realized. on the average
higher yields for all crops than did
those farms upon which either a larg-
er or q smaller percentage Of crop area
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1916-12-22

was devoted to corn. potatoes, and 9TH
er crops of that class.
In making this investigation the
crop index was used as d measure
of efficiency il the maintenance Of crop
yields. The crop index indicates the
standing OF q farm in percentage Of
yielding power. the yield of the aver
age farm of the group surveyed repre-
senting 100 Per cent. II was found
that the crop index went up uniform
ly with an increase in acreage Of in
terrified crops until that acreage
reached a point above 81 and lower
than IS per cent of the total crop area,
and then declined uniformly as such
acreage increased above that limit.
In explanation OF the falling OF in
yield OF all crops after the area in in
terrified crops passes a certain point.
the department specialists advance the
theory that it is due to the excessive
loss OF humus entailed by the extra
tillage. 1t was found that this falling
OFF in yield was present even when
there was an increase in the number Of
live stock per acre.
These figures are not advanced as
wholly conclusive. but as suggestive
as TO what may be done along this
line.

1t is highly advisable that the farmer

mates well, while Shriveled or brown
seed generally terminates poorly. The

of weed seeds or other impurities in

Every year the herd owners drive

They catch the fish themselves at

greedily devour the fish that are strand

briskly over an especially tempting

Permanent Relief For
Chronic Constipation
and Practice Of Correct
-.-.-. Daily Habit the Great
- Essential.

Constipation is a condition affecting
all classes of all people and can be
permanently relieved only by acquir-
ing habits of regularity.
The most natural time for the elimi-
native process is in the morning, when
both the muscular and nervous sys-
tens are relaxed by sleep and rest.
When relief does not come readily,
it is an excellent plan to take mild
laxative at bedtime. Cathartics and
purgatives that by the violence o.
their quick action shock and disturb
the system, should not be employed.
An effective laxative remedy that is
very dependable, and which does not
grippe or otherwise disturb the organs
involved, is found in a combination Of
simple laxative herbs known as DR..
Galdwell's Syrup Pepsin that can be
bought at the drug store for fifty cents
a bottle.
