ity in the attempt to put Improbable
acres on a paying basis. Lack of sat
isfactory agricultural credit forces
many deserving family to waste time
in trying to get start on acres that
moneyed men pass by. Misleading adj
vertisements and inflated magazine
articles have lured many a family to
give up comfortable living in the city
to drag out a miserable existence in
toll and worry on worthless land.
Lack of knowledge of the business
side of farming is largely responsible
for loss in the management of unprof-
liable acres. The problem of how to
prevent a waste of money, time and
energy in the attempt to develop
worthless land is worthy of careful
study. At best such waste can only
partially be prevented The pity of
it is that so much of this loss falls on
those who can least afford to lose
Every farmer who owns unprofit-
able land should make a detailed ex-
animation of his farm, acre by acre, to
detect all improbable areas. Next, he
should determine the approximate
cost of making each acre pay its way.
Such study will disclose what and
how much is needed in the way of
manure, commercial fertilizer, drain
age or other preparation, to produce
satisfactory crop yields. This analy-
tical study of each portion of the farm
will sometimes call attention to many
acres that cannot be cultivated prof
| itably. 1t is better to leave such land
in permanent pasture, or even to let
| it lie idle, than to work it at loss.
The farm not only furnishes a home.
but it is place of business. AS such,
each enterprise and acre should re-
ceive individual attention, and, so far
as practicable, the entire farm should
be placed on paying basis"

ERADICATION OF CORN SMUT
Only Method Is to Cut off Smutty
Stalks and Burn Them-No
Treatment Of Seed.

CBy o. NJ. ALLYN, Illinois Experiment
Station.)
There is no treatment of seed corn
for smut. The spores which cause
smut in corn live over from one year
until the next in manure, soil, refuse,
etc. In the summer, under favorable
conditions these spores which may
have wintered in the soil or may have
been hauled to the field in the manure,
find Judgment on the tender parts of
the corn plant, usually by the action
of the wind, and start to grow.
The source of the spore is not the
seed corn, therefore. treatment will
do. no good. The only method of Grad
ication is to cut off the smutty stalks
and burn them. This, of course, is i'm
practical.

ment of Agriculture)
"Low-yielding acres, like boarder
cows, are often fatal to successful
farming" according to j. c. Mcdowell
OF the office of farm management,
United States department of agricul
ture, in the new year book. Our
farm survey records show that areas
of poorly drained, compact and sour
soils, or soils low in humus, greatly
reduce net profits. Sometimes these
records show that as much as 80 per
cent of the entire farm acreage does
not produce enough to pay its way.
Zone farm in Wisconsin, on which
records were recently taken, has 40
acres of poorly drained land that in
it's present condition is practically
worthless. Twenty-Five dollars per
az re spent in drainage will make this
4G-acre tract the equal of any in that
district, and good land is selling there
al $3.50 per acre. A small portion of
similar land on this farm has already
been tile-drained and is now produc-
ing a fair profit on each acre so i'm
proved.
The successful business man al
ways tries to weed out all improbable
enterprises and to expand those that
pay a profit. Improbable acres can
not always be disposed of as readily
as boarder cows, but usually they can
be improved until they become profit
bearing. If the income from such land
cannot be increased it is quite posi-
BILE that the labor spent upon it car
! be reduced until the income at least
pays a little more than the cost OF
labor.

Such investigation often calls atten-

Utilization CT Improbable Acres.
ITO what extent and at what rate
we should attempt to decrease the
number of improbable acres depends
largely on the increased demand for
agricultural products. The law of di-
minishing returns prevents the re-
elamation of waste land until the ris-
ing prices or cheaper methods of PRO-
