They must have an abundance of food,

keys are large birds, semiwiId by ma

of the best feeds during the breeding

be kept within easy reach of the birds

FERTILIZlNG WHEAT.
For Spring Application Acid Phosphate
Is Recommended.

For Spring Application Acid Phosphate
Is Recommended.
For Wheatfields not fertliZed last fall
nor manured during the winter, the
Ohio experiment station recommends
for application in early spring, on near
ly all soils that have been under long
cultivation, from 200 to 800 pounds of
acid phosphate to the acre. Nitrate
of soda has paid for itself in some eX-
perimental field tests, but the present
cost of potassium prohibits its use this
year.
In the stations fertility tests 100
pounds of acid phosphate have produc-
ed increase in the yields of corn, oats,
wheat and hay worth more than 81 at
ordinary farm prices. Nitrate of soda
used alone has been improbable, but
its addition to acid phosphate has paid
we'll on Wooster soil although barely
sufficient to justify its use at StrOngs-
vile, Germantown and Carpenter sub
stations. These materials may easily
be sown by hand in the spring before
growth starts and are soluble in the
soil for the use of plants. Because
of the limited response of wheat to
potassium and because of its high
price this year the experiment sta
tion advises against the use Of this ele-
ment for the present wheat crop and
urges farmers to preserve all barnyard
manure carefully to supply the neces-
sary potassium.

ewes receive a limited grain ration
varying from one-fourth to one-half
pound per day, depending on their con-
dition.
Ewes receiving a grain ration before
lambing always produce more milk for
lambs. The grain mixture used at

parts of shelled corn, three parts of
oats, two parts of wheat bran and one
part of Oilmeal.

More grain is then necessary to give a
milk flow sufficient foc the best growth
of the lamb. The grain mixture should
be increased, therefore, one-half pound
or more daily per eve, depending on
her condition and also upon the num-
Der of lambs she is raising
Next to proper feeding, exercise is
considered the most important factor
in keeping ewes in good condition for
lambing. Exercise lots should be well
drained to prevent sore feet. 1t is well
to allow ewes to range on pasture dur
ing the winter, since exercise gives
strength and enables them to produce
lambs with less effort and Of a strong

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 fiowers-the taSsel or pol
len bearer ard 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 ailks, with the result that
the pollen Is mostly wasted. IL fertili-
zatiOn 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 bv
hot winds that do less damage to such
crops as alfalfa and the grain sUr-
ghums. Tho problem here is by the
choice of plantinG time and the sclec-
tiQn of early maturing or late maturing
varieties to bring about the double

drought is least liable to interfere with

Everything corn gets from the soil is
in liquid foln, and the crop cannot
grow unless the soil contains moisture

Maintaining Balance Between Heat,
Moisture and Fertility.
Prepared by United States department of
agriculture.
Ihe 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 NAV
make change in another advisable.
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
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 wafer from q 1nnth Of s,;x
1eet. 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 +. 1t can.
not grow i'll early spring or late fall,
and It's 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 arc most likely and when
rains are less effective because of
losses from evaporation. In other
words the heat requirement of corn
,..ss growth at times when mois-
ture conditions are likely to be most
favorable, while lack of moisture fire.
quently retar,ls 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

Continued Selection For Corn.

Corn productiyeness may be greatly
increased through continued selection.
For fourteen seasons this has been
studied on 4 5000 acre farm in Ohio
with ten acre plots of corn. On these
small plots seed selected from depart
ment cooperative Improvement have
been contrasted with the farm yields
Of the same variety of corn less rigidly
selected and grown under identical cul
tural conditions. During the first seven
year period the fields planted with de-
partment seed yielded 1873 bushels per
acre more than the farm fields, while
for the second seven years the increase
averaged 21.S bushels per acre.

y safe rule for mating is to have a

male to every twelve females, but we
are inclined to think this is unusual.
On farms where the fiocks are yarded
