HOW TO DOUBLE THE RETURNS
FROM EACH ACRE IN CORN

During the past ten years the aver
age acre of corn in the South has
yielded. on an average, Is bushels. We
propose here to show that it is posi-
BILE this year to exactly doubleEthe re-
turns from each acre in orn To do
this, three things must be done.
l.. Cultivate shallow and often.
Drouth at a critical period is response
BILE for heavy decreases in corn yields.
Drouths of course are beyond our pow
er to prevent. but cultivation of the
right kind may largely Offset their evil
effects. When we destroy grass and
weeds by cultivation the moisture and
plant food they would have taken OF
course &c to the corn crop. Let us,
then, see to it that these robbers are
never allowed to grow in our corn
fields. Good cultivation also saves
moisture for the corr crop by prevent
ing loss through evaporation. Every
farmer should aim to have a dust
blanket of dust mulch main (Iined in
every corn field. This is step No. 1.
and should, if generally practiced, raise
the average yield nOt less than five
bushels per acre.
2. TOp-dreSs. with nitrate of soda
or Sulphate of ammonia. We think
there is no possible doubt that the
| greatest plant food need of corn. at
least in the South, is nitrogen. OF
course the best way to get this nitro
| gen is from the air through legume
crops. but right now we have many
! millions of acres that are sorely IN
! need of nitrogen, and there is no time
to wait for the 1egumes. The corn
crop needs it and needs it Immediately,
To supply this immediate need, nj
trate of soda or sulphate Of ammonia
at the rate of so, so or 100 pounds per
acre when the corn is about waist-high
should be used. This is step No. 2,
and should, on millions of acres of ouT
thin lands. raise the corn yield another
five bushels per acre.
I 8. Plant peas, beans n peanuts
with all corn. Just as nowadays the
farmer who fails to get a second crop
after his small grain is doing poor
work. so the farmer vino fails to grow
: a legume crop with his corn is falling
short of his opportunities for increas-
! ing the feed and plant food supply
IU@4g any n of the three crops named
will certainly result in an increased
return from the land that will be worth
five bushels of corn. and probably ter
or fifteen. This is step No. 3.
Are you going to do these things
that will double the return from your
land, or are you going to be content
with the usual Is bushels?TPrfogres'

in the United States is subject largely
to the fluctuations in the financial con-
dition of the country. The high prices
paid for hogs are a big inducement to
farmers to market their hogs, and as
stated before, the high prices of corn
caused them to cut loose during the
latter part of the year. The high
prices paid for hogs and an increasing
export trade are the two main fac
tors which make the hog business es4
peciaIly attractive at the present time.
Millions of farmers would purchase
sOws to farrow this coming if they
could. but this is almost an impossi-
bility. Those farmers who are for
tunate enough to have retained their
breeding sows will play an important
role in placing spring pigs on the
market. The spring. gifts from these
filters should not be sent to market for
meat purposes. but should be retained
or sold only for breeding purposes in
order to augment the pig crop next
year.-U. S. Dept. Agri. Weekly News

CALOMEL2 HORRBLEl
Calomel is quicksilver and acts

your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,

RAISE THE STAPLE FOOD CROPS.

Already there are those who are
predicting an Over-production of food
crops in some sections of the South.
There is little danger of this becoming
"a serious matter. but a sober review
of the situation is needed. With the
great interest in the making of gar
dens. including the cities and towns
and extending to the farms, some in
dividuaIs in some sections may have a
surplus of some food crops at some
time during the season. And it is safe
to state that some of those who have
been making their living from grow
ing, or handling, or dealing in cotton,
will make much noise about any little
surplus which a few may have for a
few weeks during the summer, even
though the same persons may have lit
tie or nothing of their own raising to
eat during the remainder of the year.
Tere will be those who will have
more garden and other perishable pro-
ducts than they car use for a few
weeks, who will have entirely too lie
tie of those dried or o p~erishable
products required for winter use.
The surplus of perishable products
in the South will be small and aHect
but few people. while the shortage OF
staple food and feeding stuffs will be
general. But those who are seeking
to increase the food and feed supplies
OF the South are already wisely calling
attention to the fact that only such
perishabIe crops should be grown as
will be sufficient for home use or may
be marketed in the fresh state. A
limited proportion of these p~erishableI
crops may be canned or dried for fu-
ture use. but the supply of tin cans is
short and too great dependence should
not be placed on such products for food
supplies.
The South should this year devote
it's attention to the production of thoes
CROPS which M they cannot be used
IN the fresh state. can be allowed to-

COOP THE MOTHER LEE.
Loss Of Chicks by Exposure Largely
PreVtend by COnfining the Hen.

1t is not good poultry management
to allow the mother men to range un-
restricted with her chicks. With such
freedom the hen frequently takes her
brood through wet grass, and as a re-
sulQsome are chilled and die, especial
~ the weaker ones. WATcH are likely
to be lett benind The loss OF young
chicks which follows such a parct1ce
is large hi manly preventabIe, spec
lallsIS in the United State Depart
ment of Agriculture say. Further
more. the food which a brood allowed
to range with the hen obtains goes
very largely to keep up the heat OF the
body and the chicks do not make as
good growth as they otherwise would.
Chick losses of this nature can be
largely prevented by shutting the hen
in a coop. Any style of coop which
is dry, ventilated, and can be closed
at night to protect the brood against
cats, rats, and other animals, and
which. while combining the hen, will
allow the chicks to pass in and out
freely after they are a few days old.
will be satisfactory. The hen should
be confined until the chicks are Wean-
ed, though a small yard may be at
tached to the coop, if desired. to allow
the hen to exercise. The fence can
be raised from the ground far enough
to allow the chicks to go in OF out, but
not high enough for the hen to escape.
By using a coop the chicks can find
shelter and warmth under the hen at
any time, and the weddings after a
few days may develop into strong
health chicks.
Where chicks are raised with hens.
they are likely to become infested with
lice. If the lice get very numerous
they greatly retard the chicks growth
and may even cause their death. The
hen should be powdered thoroughly
with some good inesct powder before
she is put in the coop with the chicks
and at intervals of several days or a
week thereafter. The baby chicks
should be examined for lice. particG-
larly on the head, under the wings
and about the vent. If any are found
a little grease. such a. lard, should be
rubbed on in those places. Apply
grease moderately, as too much viii
injure the chicks. The chicks should
be examined frequently and the treat
ment repeated if lice are found or
them.

"LEST WE FORGET"

An acre sowed in sweet corn now
will be a wonderful help to the farmer
who is likely to be short of feed later
on. a,s!@N@
Give the horses and mules a chair

curried. The health of work animals
will also be helped by a weekly bath

The beet plant is easily transplant
ed, especially when the ground is moist
and the weather cool and cloudy. An
excellent plan is to use the surplus
plants where the rows are thinned. If
plants are large and spindly it will be
a great advantage to cut them back to
