Russian Coal Supply.

The total coal output of Russian
mines in the year 1913 was 3o,oOO,ooo
tons. The best coal in Russia-partly
anthracite--is obtained in South Rus
sia in the Donetz basin. and these
mines and those of Poland give nine
tenths of the Russian supply. Even
so, however. Russia does not produce
enough coal for her own use: IN 1913
the number of tons imported was
100000, most of which was brought
from England.

The yield of corn in the United
States as whole has never exceeded
IS bushels per acre for any ten-year
period. In no states has it averaged
more than "a bushels per acre for even
single year. In practically every sec
tion of the country however, yields of
more than 100 bushels per acre have
been produced. These figures Indicate
that throughout the country more land
Is being used and more labor is being
expended in producing the corn crop
than is necessary. The average an
nual crop grown to meet demands dur
ing the years just prior to 1910 aver
aged in round numbers 2,3OO,OOO,0OO
bushels. Tt produce this, with the
prevailing low yields, more than 3D.

Poor corn crops are usually attrih-
uted to unfavornble weather conditions
and frequently this is the true cause.

The most that can re done regarding
the weather is to take the best posi-
Bile advantage of the conditions as they
exist. But there are other conditions
that are responsible for low production

the control of the farmer-and these
make possible the doubling of the ay-
erage yield per acre within few
years.

produced on hard, depleted soil. Some
growers from force of habit, perhaps,
every spring plant corn on land which
they know is too poor to produce Il
profitable crop. While this practice
continues the soil as well as the farm
er will remain poor. The blowing and
cultivating of poor soil is as expensive
as the blowing and cultivatiEg Of fer
tile soil. The man who cultivates
poor soil and harvests poor crops can
not proftably compete with his neigh
Dor who grows good crops with but
little, if any, greater expenditure of
labor or capital. Corn growing should
not be attempted on poor land. Such
land should first be brought INFO fer

ing under of leguminOus crops, the ap-

time some crops that require less fer
tility than cCrn may be grown. 1t
should be remembered that the nature
of the corn plant is such that it will
not produce grain unless the soil is
rich enough to afford a considerable
growth of stalk, and that, in general,
the richer the soil the heavier will be
the yield of grain. Other plants will
often produce fair crops on soil too
poor to produce corn.

Best Soil for Corn.

Since the nature of the season can
not be foretCld it is impossible to pre-
cict whether high land or low land will
produce better, but as corn makes a
tall. vigorous growth, requiring much
moisture, low land, usually being bet
ter supplied with both moisture and
fertility, is likely. if well drained, to
produce better than high land. In
many corIfelds throughout the coun-
try may be seen portions or spots on
which it Is impossible for corn to
thrive. These may be clayey spots or
swampy or UNFRAMED areas, or ground
adjacent to timber. 1t is too great a
