GROWS $50 BUSHELS
CORN ON ten ACRES
s. C. Gogein, OF Campbell County. Va,
Uses Old Alfalfa Sod With
Unusual Results.

Nine hundred and ninety bushels OF
shelled corn from a ten-acre field,-an
average of SO bushels per acre-is the
record crop grown by S. c. Goggin, In
Campbell County, Virginia, last year.
The land upon which the corn was
grown was an old alfalfa sod which
for several years had been either
mown or grazed to hogs. The corn
was planted May and 7, in rows
three and one-half feet apart and the
average distance of the corn in the
rows was Is inches. The corn was
gone over twice with the weeder be-
fore it came up and given three shall
low civilizations. Just before the last
cultivation cow peas were planted,
which were disked down to SOW wheat.
Three hundred pounds Of fertilizer
was spread broadcast and narrowed
in before the corn was planted. w. e.
Macdonald, farm demonstrator OF Or
ange County, in commenting upon this
crop points out that alfalfa Is valuable
not only as a forage crop but also as a
soil builder, as shown by Mr.. Goggin's
results with corn following alfalfa.

CONDUCTS CORN EXPERIMENTS
Virginia Farmer Increases Yield Over
19 Per Cent. In One Season.

Conducting experiments to deter.
mine the value Of different applica-
tions Of fertilizer on corn, r. F. Hol.
berton, of "Rocklands Farm" In Or
ange County, Va, increased the yield
over 10 per cent and increased the
net profits per acre $3.50, through the
use of 900 pounds Of high grade fertil-
izer per acre. He had been using 500
pounds per acre and had been getting
70 bushels per acre. With the heavier
application. he made 80 and one-half
bushels per acre from two-acre plot.
In every other detail his methods were
the same as with the smaller applica-
ton Of fertilizer.
Figuring 20 and ons-half bushels OF
corn per acre increase, at 10 cents per
bushel, the gross gain per acre was
S15.75. The cost of the fertilizer
amounted to $5.72 per acre and the
cost of application amounted to $50
per acre Mr.. Holberton explains that
the corn came up unevenly and that
transplanting did not help the field
much. The season was unusually dry
and Mr.. Holberton claims that under
normal conditions his yield would have
been over 100 bushels per acre.

What can be done with an acre or

the Georgia State College OF Agricul

to find out. He selected an acre OF
only fair fertility, used fertilizer at the
rate of 800 pounds per crop and plant
ed cabbage and Irish potatoes. About
5000 cabbage plants were set out and
the balance of the acre planted to po
tatoes. The cabbage crop was sold
retail and wholesale and brought In
gross receipts of $40. The potatoes
were sold at 81 per bushel and brought
in SIS.
After the cabbage and potatoes were
removed, the acre was planted to corn.
During the roasting-ear season, $40
worth Of ears were sold and the re-
mainder left to mature, yielding Az
bushels of corn, and ton and hall

INDIANS USED FISH
TO BUILD UP SOILS
EARLY SETTLERS IN VIRGINIA.
TAUGHT LESSON IN BETTER
FARMING IN 1882 BY NATIVES.

The Indians were the first farmers IL
America. Investigations Of their meth
ods show that they understood the
value Of applying fertilizer in growing
corn. The words "menhaden" and
"poghaden" meant fertilizer, according
to Professor Trumbull, an authority on
Indian life In Virginia, in 1882, Thorn
as Morton wrote: "There Is fish (by
some called shads, by some allizes)
that at the spring Of the year passes
up the rivers to spawn In the ponds
and are taken In such multitudes each
year In every river that hath pond
at the end, that the inhabitants fer
tilize their land with them. You may
see in one township hundred acres
altogether that have been set with
these fish, each acre taking 1000 OF
them. An acre thus dressed will pro.
duce and yield as much corn as three
acres without fish,"
In New England, an Indian, Squanto,
taught the Pilgrims how to raise corn
by fertilizing the land with fish. caught
in early April Governor Bradford. In
ais History Of the Plymouth Colony"
;ays that Squanto taught the settlers
that except they got Ash and set the
1ld grounds with them, 1t would come
to nothing" Squanto's teachings were
tried in 1921, and the following year,
another writer, George Mourt, re-
corded in his Journal" that 20 acres
of corn and six acres Of barley. treated
as Squanto had taught, made an excel
lent yield.

SOIL FERTILITY THE BASIS
North Carolina Yields Greater Than
viraln Land Of Texas.

Is virgin land more profitable than
soil that has been intensively cuiti,
waited for over a century? A compari-
son Of yields in Texas and North Caro-
lima shows that when attention is Civ
en- to the maintaining of soil fertility
the question of decreasing yields does
not trouble The older land Is in
creased rather than decreased in its
productivity. Texas averages 510.9
pounds OF cotton per acre and North
Carolina averages S142 pounds per
acre although North Carolina has
been intensively cultivated for over a
century.
Farmers Of Maryland, Delaware and
Virginia who have been maintaining
fertility through manures and fertil-
izers are getting greater yields at low
Ell cost per unit than farmers OF the
Middle West, who have been using
soil that but a few years ago was vir-
gin land. With the fertility methods
which are becoming increasingly pop
ular throughout these states, the farm
ers are becoming more prosperous and
their soils are increasingly productive.

LITTLE CHICKS SHOULD BE PRO-
TECTED FROM VERMlN.
r. H. WAITE,
II. II. w al i l.,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.


Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
One of the worst things to contend
with in the brooding of young chicks,
with hens, is lice. Most hens have
lice, and if the old brood hen has them,
nothing is more certain than that she
will very quickly PASS them on to the
chicks. Lice do not trouble the old
hen so much, because they are so
much smaller than she is, but with the
little chick it is different. 1t does not
take many lice on young chick to
kill it,
The best treatment" for lice on lit
tie chicks is to kill the lice on the old
hen before she matches the chicks.
Chicks are so delicate they do not
withstand much doping, but, of course,
if you have been SO careless as to let
them get infested, you will have to do
something. Lice do most damage on
the young chicks head, hence this is
the part usually treated. very small
amount of lard or vaseline spread over
the top of the head will kill the head
lice.
Chicks must be carefully protected
from enemies. There are no rules for
this, each brooding place being a prob.
lem in itself and each requiring a diff
ferent solution. The principle thing is
to anticipate the trouble if possible
and take precautions early enough to
prevent the enemies from getting
start. Prevention, aside from saving
some Of the chicks, is much easier
than trying to cure. Be on the lookout
for rats, crows. hawks, weasels, etc,
about the place and take measures
that will keep them away from the
chicks or keep the chicks away from
the enemies. Enemies TO poultry will
be more fully discussed in another les
son.
Wet grass is fatal to chicks if the
old hen is allowed to drag" them
through it. While the grass is wet
III the morning or after rains, the hen
should be confined, that is if she is in
the habit Of roaming around in grass
tall enough to wet the chicks

Lime does not take the place of ferti.
them, according to Bulletin AGO, of the
Geneva Experiment Station, New
York. When the use of lime in any
form is continued alone, and no ade-
quate provision is made for maintain
ing the supply of fertilizers and
organic matter, crops cannot be kept
up and the returns in the use of lime
become less and may finally drop
below that of land unlimed, according
to this bulletin and also the results

PROPER SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Wool Does Not Afford All Protection
Necessary During Winter as Gen.
orally Believed.

It was formerly quite generally
thought that the sleeps wool afforded
it all the protection necessary during
the winter If the fleece could be kept
dry it probably would retain enough
body heat TO keep the sheep warm,
but this Is impossible without shelter.
When a fleece once becomes wet 1t
takes long time for it to dry out,
especially If the weather is cold.
Much energy that would otherwise
be used for growth or fattening must
be used for evaporating this water.
The wet fleece also gives rise to un-
healthy conditions.
In Great Britain little housing Is
necessary, but in most places in Amer
lea this would result in severe losses.

Beef making offers welcome sub
stitute to many dairy farmers who.
because of unfavorable conditions,
have been unable to make the milk
check equal the expenses.
LESS outlay is required for barn
room, equipment and maintenance.
Labor costs are few and this difficult

THE raising of beef cattle appeals

because of other interests is unable
to give it his personal daily and con-

WAS FIRST SILVER WEDDING
Now Popular Ceremony Said to Have
Originated Through a Whim OF
Monarch Of France.

The fashion of silver weddings dates
back to the reign Of Hughes Capet,
king of France, in 9S7. Once as Hughes
was arranging his uncle's affairs he
found on one Of the estates servant
who had grown gray in the service OF
his relative. On the farm with this old
man was also a serving woman, who
was as old as he and also unmarried,
who had been the most devoted and
hardworking Of the woman servants or
the kings uncle. When the king heard
these praises of the two he ordered
them to be brought before him and
said to the woman:
"Your service is great, greater than
this mans, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than
man, and therefore l will give you
reward. At your age | know Of none
better than dowry and husband.
"The dowry is here-this farm from
this time forth belongs to you. II this
man who has worked with you five and
twenty years is willing to marry you
then the husband is ready"
Your majesty" suffered the old
peasant confusedly, "how is it possible
that we should marry, having already
silver hairs?"
Then it shall be a silver wedding"
answered the king "and here | give
you wedding ring drawing costly
ring from his finger and placing the
hands of the thankful old people to-
gether.
This soon became known all over
France. and raised such enthusiasm
that 1t became fashion after % years
of married life to celebrate a silver

Lime Supplements Fertilizers Value OF Diversified Farming

Farm records show, and good farm
ers agree that diversified farming is
most profitable. Diversified farming
means raising livestock and various
kinds of crops. 1t gives opportunity
for crop rotation, for growing cover
crops in connection with profitable
cash crops, and enables the farmer to
more profitably operate his fields with
out decreasing the fertility, but rather
adding to the productive ability of the
soil. 1t enables the farmer to carry
out the best farm practices, including
the use of manures and fertilizers,
proper tillage, good seed. drainage and
lining when necessary.
