Farm Department

these better prices the farmers had
more money with which to improve
their business. In this connection II
is noteworthy that during the 5-year
period covered by the article mon
toned, the number of silos in the
community was increased from z to
A.
In conclusion, the article points out
that. while the financial gain from
the work is the easiest to measure,
it was by no means the only, or ev-
en- the most important, part of the
total results from this experiment
in community development in dairy
ing. The Improvement in the social
conditions. and in the living condi-
tions in the farmhouses is not to be
ignored, although it is very difficult
to measure it.

Community Dairying.

What can be accomplished in dairy
districts by community action is in
dicated in an article in the 1915
Yearbook of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. In this
article the results of five years work
in an Iowa community are discussed
in detail During the period, it is
said, the net profits to the patrons of
small creamery We're increased
from $4,000 III 1914 to S0,Gfj in
1915, For the -hve-year period the
total net profits were increased $780,
1863. Against this increase there is
10 be charged only the salary and ex,
penses O. ...e Government field man,
amounting to $11,196. AS a result,
therefore, of the development of the
work the community received in the
course of five years $20,973 more
than it otherwise would have done.
These increased profits were OBJ
tanned by the elimination of unproft-
able COWS, the Introduction of better
bulls, more improved feeding meth
DDS, and placing on the market pro-
ducts of better quality, The grow
ing OF such feeds as clover, alfalfa,
and silage corn reduced the cost of
milk production, and the herds re-
ceived more adequate shelter -aad a
better water supply in the winter,
thus being enabled to give satisfac-
tory yields of milk through a larger
portion of the year.
Progress in these directions is TO
be attributed chiefly TO the influence
of the field man among the farmers.
II was under his direction that the
farmers began to give serious at
tention to the problem of feeding for
larger and economical milk produc-
ton. He also introduced the prac.
tice OF keeping production records
for each COW and of climating all
animals that reacted to the tubercu.
lin test. The expense of raising
calves was reduced by shifting them
earlier from whole milk to skin
milk. The milking was done under
more sanitary conditions and the
milk and cream treated with greater
care. In this way the quality Of thu
butter was improved and the better
product brought better prices Will

How to Have Home Grown Sweet
Corn,

Sweet corn should always be found

IL at its best it should he on the fire
within fifteen minutes after being
pulled from the stalk. Those who
wish to have homegrown sweet c)rn
will find the following advice from
the L. S. Department of Agriculture
useful:
Corn does best in fertile soil, but
is able to adapt itself to all textures
from sand to clay. To grow it in SUIT
ficient quantities for the average fam-
lily requires more space, however,
than for most garden vegetables. 1t
should not be planted until after
danger of frost is past.
The rows should be spaced not
closer than three feet apart, and for
the larger-growing late varieties the
distance had best be three and one
half feet. Stalks should be thinned to
stand from fifteen to eighteen inches
in the row. In planting, the seed is
covered with one or two inches OF
soil. Cultivation must be thorough,
frequent, and shallow.
1t is possible to use the ground &C.
cupied by early corn for fall plant
ing of such crops as spinach, turnips,
and kale. Large, late varieties, how
ever. will occupy the ground for prac-
tically the whole season.
For early use the yellow sweet
corns have recently become quite
popular. or these the Golden Ban
tam is well-known variety. Early
Minnesota has long been a favorite.
White Mexican is valuable early
corn. Early Malakohf is a very
early sort of excellent quality, which
does better in the North than in the
middle states, however, Early Adams
is a variety frequently grown for
market, and its virtues. are rather
those of the market, but If used dur
ing the very short period when its
qualities are at their best, it's favor
is good. For midseason and late use.
Crosby, Potters. Excelsior, Country
Gentlemen, Black Mexican, and
Evergreen are suitable.
1t is possible to have fairly long
season of usuable corn if three va
rieties, such as Golden Bantam, Cros-
by, and Country Gentleman are
planted simultaneously in early
spring. To make the season countin-
uous until frost however, il will be
to plant some variety at
intervals of two or three weeks up to
last of July. Crosby is a very good
variety for this purpose.

Sweet-Potato Diseases.

Some of the worst sweet-potato
disoases live from one season to the
nc>t in the soil and on the old decay
cd potatoes bedded for a previous
crop. according to the specialities OF
the United States Department of AS-
riculture. For that reason 1t is cs
sential that fresh soil or sand be used
every year. Under no circumstances
use soil for the hotbed from fields
where sweet potatoes previously have
been grown. Instead go into the
" foods, IL possible, and throw OFT 9
inches of the surface and take sub
possible soil. Sand will do just as
well. If soil cannot be obtained from
the woods, II may be taken from q
new field where sweet potatoes have
not been grown before.
II is essential also that the franc
work of the hotbed be disnfected by
Spraying with a solution made by
adding | pint of formalin to 80 gal
Ions of water. Similar results may
be obtained by whitewashing the
framework. Better still, spray with
winter strength lime-sulphur solu-
ton.
In the spring before being bedded
the potatoes should be disinfected by
immersing for from to 10 minutes
in q solution of corrosive sublimate,
made by dissolving l ounce of the
crystals in s gallons of water. This
is a deadly poison. Use with great
care. Treated seed should not be
left where animals can reach it. Only
wooden containers should he used
for distinction. After distinction
the potatoes should be Immediately
rinsed in pure water and dried or
bedded at once.
Just enough OF the solution should
be put in the barrel to cover the
quantity OF potatoes to be immersed
each time The solution should not
be used more than three times, since
Il loses strength and effectiveness
upon repeated use.
After the potatoes are disinfected,
any showing evidence of disease,
either on the surface or at the end,
should be thrown out. Frequently
it is in these bruised, calloused, and
decayed spots that the disease germs
are concealed. 1t should be remem-
bered that the disinfection is TO kill
the germs loose on the surface of the
potato and that the treatment does
not kill the germs concealed in the
decayed, bruised, and calloused spots
on the surface and at the end.
