PATRIOTISM REIGNS AT HOME
First Duty to Raise Corn and Hogs
for Homo Consumption and Army.

Washington, April lin emergen-
cies, 1t may be necessary for some pa
triots to unyoke the oxen and leave
the plow standing in the furrow, but
the lasting support of a nation re-
quires efficient patriots to keep the
plows going. The soil supports the
corn; corn supports animals; corn
and animals support an army; and
armies fight on their bellies" Let
US properly care for the goose that
ays '.-c golden egg.
Whei.-er corn prices are high or
low, the farmers profit depends on
obtaining large acre yields. Large
tcre yields reduce the expense of both
labor and land. 1t is remarkable that
acre yields are increasing most rap
idly in the States southeast and the
States north and west of the corn belt
States. These increased acre yields
are largely due to earlier and thicker
planting of better seed corn. Unnec-
essary losses from planting poor seed
corn are diminishing as it becomes
more fully realized that neither frosts
nor droughts can extermiuate good ac-
climated varieties if sufficient seed be
;aved from good crops to last until
another good crop is obtained. Good
seed corn will retain it's powers of
termination and production for four
or five years.
Assurance OF a Good Corn Crop.
In the central and southern States,
The scarcity of soil moisture in the
middle of the summer reduces the
combined. The best assurance Of a
good corn crop is to get moisture into
he soil in as large quantities and to
as great depths as possible.
To allow weeds. alfalfa. rye or 9TH
er plants to grow during the spring
upon land to be planted to corn is to
invite failure of the corn crop.
To allow the soil to become dry
enough in the spring before plowing
to break up in big clods is to invite
failure of the corn crop. If the plow-
ing has been delayed until spring, the
land should be disked before it has
a chance TO become too dry to plow.
Disking is more rapid and should be
done before the plowing in order TO
keep the ground from becoming too
dry. Deep plowing should not be done
in the spring. If followed by drought
1t causes the land to dry out to
greater depths than would result
from shallow plowing.
One or More Later Paintings to Re-
duce Loss from Drought.
The main corn planting is now COM
Oleted in the South. When this main
planting begins to form ears, the oc
rurence Of drought will ruin the
?rop unless good supply Of moisture
mas been stored in the subsoil. TO re-
duce the chances Of loss from drought,
one or more later paintings should be
made. Summer drouChts are some
times broken in time to cause later
planhngs to yield well. Good seed
corn should be in readiness to make
these later paintings as promptly as
possible should droughts or floods in
Jure the early paintings.
