PROFITABLE
SOIL CULTURE
SECRET OF CORN GROWING.
Maintaining . Balance Between Hest
Moisture and Fertility.
Prepared by United States department Of
agriculture.


Prepared by United States department Of
agriculture.
The secret of successful corn culture
Is to maintain proper balance OF
moisture, heat and fertility. These
three factors, together with the nature
of the seed, determine yields in ali
parts of the country.
A change in the supply of one may
Thus the moisture requirement varies
with the amount of heat available. In
addition to water and heat, soil fertil-
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
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
crop for semiarid regions and call for
special adjustments. In producing
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
mcnts 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 +. 1t can.
not grow in 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 up mois-
ture, and where moisture is plentiful
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1917-02-28

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 Covers. 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 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 seec-
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

pear on the backs Of cattle, because if
the grubs become tough before being
killed they are likely to cause sores.

es an excellent method of applying the
medicine. This treatment may be ap-
piled rapidly by running the cattle
through chute, with one man sta
toned on each side provided with an
oil can filled with the medicine.
The cattle should be examined from
fifteen to twenty days later, and any
grubs that escape the first treatment
should be squeezed out and crushed.
1t is important that any grubs
squeezed out should be destroyed, else
they will transform into adult flies.
The OK MARBLE is one of the worst
enemies of cattle, especially in the
grazing sections. 1t is sometimes called
bottiy and heelhy and is also often
spoken of as grub.
In general appearance and size the
adult fly, like many other BOTTLES. re-
sembles the common hOneybee. 1t is
half an inch long, black and covered
with yellowish white and reddish
brown and black hairs.
In the spring from the latter part Of
March to the LIST Of May the flies ap-
pear about the cattle, laying their eggs
upon the legs. especially in the region
just above the hoof II Is from this
habit Of placing the eggs near the heels
that they get the name of heelfy in the
west and southwest.
In 1918 II was estimated that GO per
cent of the cattle in Kansas were in
fected with MARBLES. The annual finan-
cial loss on damaged hides alone is now
estimated for the United States at
from $4,000. 5000 to S3OOOOyO0O.

PLANTING FRUIT TREES.
Csre Should Be Taken Not to Set the
Roots Too Deep In Soil.

The beginner in tree planting usually
sets his trees too deep rather than too
shallow In the relatively heavy soils of
Missouri J. G. Written of the depart
ment of horticulture of the University
of Missouri says.
Young trees should be selected for
planting, and they should be set at the
same depth at which they stood in the
nursery" Mr. Written said. Trees
turn to the northeast and grow crooked
because of the warm south and south
west winds during the growing season.
The tree should be set with the heavier
side to the southwest to avoid this.
''The roots should be trimmed so as
not to be cramped and any ragged
wounds taken off. Peach trees should
of any OF the orchard fruits. Trim all
branches off, leaving a single whip;
then shorten the whip to a height of
about two and one-half feet. Cherry
trees should be less severely trimmed.
If well branched the center of the tree
should be cut out The japanese plum
tree should be shaped like the peach.
Other plum, apple and pear trees, hav-
ing only single whip, should be treat
ed likewise. Older trees may be treat
ed like the cherry, with the exception
that all branches may be shortened to
one.half or one-third Of their natural
length"

KEEP YOUR LITTLE
CALVES IN DRY PENS
Whan Pens Are Wet Calves Con-
tract Colds.

An important item in the raising
of calves is to see that the place in
which they are kept is dry. This
applies to the overhead as well as
to the floor. During severe winter
weather the ceiling at times be-
comes covered with frost. When
the warm winter days come along
this frost or ice melts, and the wa
ter drops down on the calves. If
the weather remains warm this
probably would not injure the calves
much, but usually after a warm day
there comes a cold spell. Wet
calves and cold weather will soon
cause colds.
After a prolonged cold spell the
manure accumulates in the stalls.
The dampness from the walls and
the ceiling and the warmth of the
atmosphere cause the bedding to be-
come wet more rapidly than usual.
At times, when a warm-day comes
along, then the cleaning out is the
order of the day. The man who
does the work naturally feels warm,
and he does not think that the draft
coming from the outside is likely
to chill the calves. A bad cold and
even pneumonia may easily be con-
tracted by little calves in this man
ner.. ..-- ....-. --.-. -. .-.- ...-.--.-
The. late winter warm days are
especially for little
calves. Stock needs to have great
care then as we'll as during the cold
weather. Keep the calves and their
stalls dry at all times.

Corn Experiment Lesson.

In experiments with corn at the
Pennsylvania state college during the
last few years heavy seed gave little
better field termination and little
better yield than light seed. Seed from
ears which terminated quickly gave a
slightly better field termination. Seed
selected on the stalk terminated better
than seed selected at huskmg time IN
AN outdoor test. for the single year for
which the record was kept. Seed Sc
lected at husling in three years trials,
for some unaccountable reason. gave
the better field termination. The
yields were about alike

Sport Coats usually extend be-

New Dresses

Straight line effects with nor
NAL waistline or with sash or belt
slightly below are most favored,
though many are short wasted
modified empire styles. After
noon and evening gowns are in
Moyen age or long wasted mod
els. Semi-fitted dresses are pop

short. In the latter case they fol-
low the barrel tendency. Pastel
colors, tan, gray, putty, charteuse,
white, buff, copenhagen, orchid,
peach, navy blue and various tans

Sport Dresses are in most cases
identical with sport suits in every
way. There is practically no
means of Distinguishing between
the two-except that in some in
stances combination fabrics are
employed.
Invite Praise.
Silks have never been so popu-
