BANK CASHIERS SOFT JOB.

When we see Cashier Foster of the
Bank of Southern Utah ride past in
his fine new National seven passen-
ger car, which he has just purchased,
we cannot help thinking what soft
snap a bank cashier has. And this
in a great measure applies to all 9th
err store and Office employees, who work
indoors and wear good clothes-some-
times.
But of course it applies with I'M
usual force to cashiers and clerks in
banks, who have nothing to do but
reach their hands into the money
tills and help themselves to the cash
when they see anything they need or
want What an enticing spectacle to
the man who is plodding along on a
farm or running" a bunch of sheep
or cattle.
But returning to the case in view,
that of Mr.. Foster and his elegant
car, Mr.. Foster has been cashier of
the Bank of Southern Utah only some
sixteen or eighteen years, and here he
blossoms out already with fine, eX-
pensive car, as handsome as any in
town.
1t may be fair to mention, in this
connection, in passing, that some
years ago Mr.. Foster bought tract
of land in the valley few miles from
town, from dry farm company, that
had held it for number of years,
without putting it to any beneficial
use. The price paid was something
less than $l2 per acre. OF course Mr..
Foster could not personally form the
and get it ready for cropping; he
hired it planted, and the crops har-
vested when ready. Last year the
farm produced fair crop, practic-
ally paying for all expenses, and this
year he had bumper crop of about
2300 bushels of grain, besides corn,
potatoes, alfalfa and other comodities
Then he turned round and sold the
farm for an average of about $4,000
per acre, receiving $4,000 for it.
That may of helped some to buy
the new car, but of course a fat sal
aried position is the main thing.
Now the point we wish to impress
upon young men Of this part of the
country is simply this. That the real
road to success and a comfortable
competence, is by the cultivation of
good piece of land. The young man
wing is energetic, entrprising and fru-
gal can amass more real money and
property in five years on a well-chosen
farm, than he can in the best
salaried position in this county in a
life time. If you really want to get
ahead and amount to something, for
get about the white-collared jobs, and
get right out with Mother Nature on
the land and drill, at the same time
using your head, and your success is
sure.
And there are plenty of opportuni-
ties for you to make money right
here in Iron county.
What was done by Mr.. Foster on
his land has been practically dupli-
Gated by the Parry Brothers, John
and Isaac, and many others. Look
about you, and you will see nine out
of ten of the better off residents of
this place have made their money
either off the land or from sheep and
cattle, while the salaried employees
of offices who appear to have such a
snap, are practically at stand-still,
with their moses on the grindstone"

and heat deficient so to handle the soil
as to prevent moisture from lessening
unduly such heat as may be available.
In the case of corn, which differs in
this respect from perfect Towering
plants, the setting of seed and the fill
ing of the ears are seriously interfered
with by summer drOughts. Corn has
two kinds of fowerS-the taSSel or pol
len bearer and the seed forming or silk
bearing flowers. The pollen from one
falling on the silk of the other is neces-
sary to the development of grain.
Droughty conditions often hasten the
shedding of pollen, but delay the ap-
pearance of silks, with the result that
the pollen is mostly wasted. If fertili-
cation is prevented in this way no
amount of later rain can cause kernels
to form or make a good grain yield.
The corn crop is sometimes injured by
hot winds that do less damage to such
crops as alfalfa and the grain sOr-
ghums. The problem here is by the
choice of planting time and the selec-
ton of early maturing or late maturing
varieties to bring about the double
Towering of the corn at times when
drought is least liable to interfere with
fertilization.
Everything corn gets from the soil is
in liquid form, and the crop cannot
grow unless the soil contains moisture
to spare.

PROFITABLE
SOIL CULTURE
SECRET OF CORN GROWING.
Maintaining a Balance Between Heat,
Moisture and Fertility.

Hl0lskuTe and FeFtlIIry.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
The secret of successful corn culture
is to maintain a proper balance of
moisture, heat and fertility. These
three factors, together with the nature
OF the seed, determine yields in all
parts of the country.
A change i'll the supply of one may
make change in another advisable.
Thus the moisture requirement varies
with the amount of heat available. In
addition to water and heat, soil fertn-
ity and seed also must be regarded
among the chief essentials. No one of
these can be said to be more important
than another. Where all are abundant
except one-as water, for example
this one becomes the limiting factor,
and methods of supplying it become
the important means of increasing the
yield.
Corn possesses characteristics which
appear to make it adapted to drought
conditions and, on the other hand, has
qualities which limit its possibilities as
a crop for semiarid regions and call for
special adjustments. In producing a
given weight of feed or dry matter
corn uses less water than certain other
crops, as oats, clover and alfalfa. 1t
Is deep rooted and can if necessary
draw water from depth of five or six
feet. In hot, dry weather the rolling
Of the blades reduces the loss of water.
On the other hand, the heat require
ments and peculiar Towering habits Of
this crop make it less adapted to semi
arid regions than other grain or forage
crops.
Corn makes its entire growth during
the season of highest temperature,
growing best when the thermometer
registers so to 100 degrees F. 1t can
not grow i'll early spring or late fall.
and its growth is retarded during the
summer by cold nights or cool weather
1t needs its greatest supply of moiS-
ture during the summer weeks when
droughts are most likely and when
rains are less effective because of
losses from evaporation. In other
words, the heat requirement of corn
prevents growth at times when mois-
ture conditions are likely to be most
favorable, while lack of moisture fire.
quently :retards growth when heat con-
ditiOnS are most favorable. The prob
lem, therefore, where heat is great and
moisture deficient is TO store I'm moiS-
ture, and where moisture is plentiful
