REDUCING SOFT CORN LOSSES.

The 1917 corn crop is very poor in
quality. Much Of 1t IL soft, 50 soft
that It fails to keep In storage. A re-
cent crop report from the United States
Department Of Agriculture indicates
IN average condition of 1852 for the
1917 corn crop over against an "a per
cent average for the last ten years;
this valuing mature corn at 100.
Early frosts and cold. late growing
seasons are responsible for much OF
the soft corn loss In the corn belt. We
cannot control the weather but by
proper cultural methods, we can hasten
maturity Of the corn by from one to
two weeks, thus rpening the crop be-
fore the arrival of disastrous frosts.
Cutting short the growing season of
the crop seven to fourteen days will
In the majority Of cases, make nine
ears out of ten marketable instead Of
two ears out Of three A. during the
past season.
Proper Varieties Essential.
One great cause for the large amount
Of soft corn produced 10 the planting
Of varieties which are not adapted to
climatic conditions under which they
are grown. In our fervor for bigger
crops, we have often gone South for
large yielding varieties which require
longer growing seasons than prevail
In most sections Of the corn belt. Most
Of these varieties are large-eared and
weigh heavily because they contain q
larger percentage Of moisture than our
northern grown varieties. and thus
nislead the farmer but not the grain
dealer. for much Of the grading Is done
On basis Of moisture content.
Balanced Plantfood Insurss erop~
Perhaps the biggest reason Tor ths
large amount Of soft corn produced In
1917 and In other years. Is the lack
Of sufficient available plantfood in the
soil to give the crop quick start to
enable 1t to take advantage Of every
growing day and to properly fill the
ears and hasten maturity. All other
conditions being equal, the use Of suffi.
Client amounts of well l-balanced. avail
able plantfood will shorten the grow
Ing season of a corn crop from ten to
fourteen days This ten to fourteen
days often means difference between
q crop Of marketable ears and q crop
which is hardly worth harvesting. =

FOOD PRODUCTION ENDANGERED
BY FREIGHT EMBARGOES.

During the last weeks Of December,
1917, absolute embargoes were placed
on rail shipments Of phosphate rock
from Florida. This fact WAS widely
reported In the daily press, yet few
people realized its true Significance. II
the embargo continues II will force the
closing Of many fertilizer factories all
over the United States. and will render
impossible maximum production OF
food crops so badly needed In these
times of war. An embargo Of this kind,
necessary though II be, vitality affects
the handspring Of our national welfare.
The first big effect Of such an EN-.
barge Is to cause the closing Of all de-
partments of many fertilizer plants.
However. the big effect of this EN-
barge on rock phosphate movement 10
on the farm itself, where fer
tilizer Is needed for the work of food
production. Labor Is short, greater
production can only he secured through
higher acre yields produced by using
what labor we have on land so ferti-
lized as to make 1t productive. In this
light, then, continued embargo son
rock phosphate, however necessary 1t
may be from the transportation View
point, Ia a great national calamity. It
affects both our agricultural produc-
tion and the ability Of our country
to win the war speedily and certainly.

ASSIST GOVERNMENT BY

The great need Of the railroads just

MistIetoe.kiss Custom.

One of the old mistletoe beliefs was
that originally the plant had itself
been a tree, and that it was from that
tree that the holy cross was made.
The mistletoe became popular with the
ancients of Europe, states writer, be-
cause it was believed to have the pow
er of keeping away evil spirits. That
was the reason why men and women
hung it in their homes. And because so
many people hung it in their homes to
keep away evil spirits it came to stand
as a symbol of hospitality. Many ef-
forts have been made to trace the ori-
gin of the connection Of mistletoe with
kissing, but the many explanations re-
sulting from those researches are far
from being clear and convincing. The
mistletoe-kiss custom Is very old
among the peoples Of northern Europe.
