NEW CORN DISEASE FOUND.

EL ~ Earmer1 sEi@.

Ames, Feb. 8.-"Fifteen million dou-
lars annually Is my estimate Of the
loss caused in Iowa by this corn dis
ease" said DR.. L. H. Pammel of the
Iowa State college botany department,
speaking of the new fusarium corn
stalk disease, before the Iowa Corn and
Small Grain Growers Association. Ten
thousand dollars ought to be appro-
rriated for an investigation Of this dis
ease, of which we as yet know little"
The assembled members Of the as
ISOLATION; took, him at his word and,
after the program was finished, drew
up and adopted a resolution asking
for state funds for the college to in
vestigate this new danger to Iowa's
principal crop.
The disease, which was discovered
only last year. is closely related to de-
structive diseases of cotton and flax.
1t manifests itself in a weakening of
the stalk, so that the corn plant is
easily blown over, some fields being so
affected that nearly all Of the stalks
are broken. A pink mold is often found
in the pitch of the stalk, and the pfth
is. completely destroyed, usually, at the
point where the stalk breaks. 2 i

Nov Time to Fert;l;ze,
Illinois Expert Tells
Short Course Students

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Feb. S-"The time to con-
serve Iowa soils Is before they reach
the point of falling fertility; find the
element which is limiting crop yields
and supply it." stated w. g. Eckhardt,
county agent of DeKalb county, I'LL
nois, in a soils talk on Soil Acidity and
Use Of Lime" Mr.. Eckhardt discussed
the results Of state experiments rela-
tive to limiting and use Of phosphorus
which he had supervised at the Uni
versity Of Illinois. q
ION the land worth $3.50 per acre, Is
there more profit In one acre yielding
eighty bushels of corn, or on four acres
acres yielding fifty bushels per acre?'
was the problem which the Illinois ex-
pert submitted to the farmers present.
With corn at IS cents a bushel, taxes
at so cents per acre, interest at $3.50
per acre and labor including husking,
totaling So per acre, Mr.. Eckhardt
showed that the profits in either case
case were $12. In other words. the
farmer with the eighty bushel corn is
making the same profit from forty
acres as the grower Of fifty bushel corn
realizes from 100 acres. j. ...
Slides were shown illustrating the
enormous increase resulting from the
use or rock phosphate on Illinois soils.
The yield Of wheat in one case was
raised from 22.5 bushels to 5S.5 bushels
per acre by the use of one ton of rock
phosphate in four years. At the Illi-
nois station, one plot receiving 200
pounds of steamed bone meal annually
had averaged ninety-one bushels of
corn per acre for upwards of ten years.
Limiting of southern Illinois soils was
proven to have made the difference be-
tween q seven bushel and twenty-six
bushel wheat crop. Mortgage the farm
or sell part Of it, and lime the re-
mainder," is the advice that Mr.. Eek
hardt offers to farmers whose land Is
acid, and who are unable to afford
limestone to correct the acidity.

ACRE OF CORN COSTS $1s.4s.

G. |. Christy Hands Out Some Interest
ina Figures on Cost Production.
Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Feb. SIT costs 500 farmers
of Indiana just $13.49 per acre on the
average to produce an acre OF corn.
This was the figure given out by G. l.
Christy. of Purdue University. In his
talk to the Iowa corn and small grain
growers. That's getting the farming
business down to a pretty fine point.
The itemized cost of producing was as
follows:
Flowing, s1S9; narrowing, 6s cents;
fertilizer, $780,. seed. 40 cents; plant
ing, 80 cents; cultivation, "a cents;
husking, $1.41, and the rent of land, IS
total $13.49.
In order to direct the attention of
Indiana farmers to study of cost of
producing a five acre corn contest was
outlined there. In 1914, of 2ss farm
ers, twenty-one grew more than 100
bushels of corn per acre. The aver
age of the 23s was 1874 bushels per
acre. Some AGO farmers completed the
contest in 1915.
An accurate record Of cost of pro-
duction was kept. The average yield
Of the state for the past ten years has
been 81 bushels per acre. with cost
of production at $13.4s To produce one
bushel therefore cost $.s46. One yield
of 10 bushels per acre was produced
at a cost Of 1916 or $.171 bushel.
The average cost of the 23s farmers
was 1882 per acre or s.1ss per bushel.
It is seen that the high yield was there
fore profitable not only because of the
larger total value, but because Of
greater profit on each bushel.
Mr.. Christy especially emphasized
the value of a more detailed attention
TO the business side of farming.
