INCREASED POTATO YIELD.

The yield of potatoes per acre is gradually increasing in this country, as shown by the records of the bu- reau of crop estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture. During 1866-1S74 the. average annual yield per acre was 91 bushels but the average markedly declined 70 71.3 bushels in 1SS6-1S94. Perceptible re- covery was made in the following 10- year period and a much larger recov- cry, rising to a new high-water mark, was reached in 1905-1914, with its ave rage yield of 97 bushels per acre.
 In 20 years the productivity of the average potato acre increased S6 per cent. This increase is due to various causes, among which are greater spe- cialization of production, more inten- sive treatment, and higher fertility of the soil. The 10-year average yield of " bushels per acre in 1905-1914 was followed by 96.3 bushels in 1915, SO.5 bushels in the very low year 1916, and 100.S bushels in 1917.
 Compared with population. the yield per acre declined from 1S66-1s74 to 1905-1914. The gain of production per capita in recent years has been more because of increased acreage than be- cause of increased production per acre.

Convenient eranary For the General
 Farm.

In view of the present high prices of all grains it is profitable manage ment for every general farmer to pro vide adequate and dependable storage for these valuable farm products. The division of rural engineering of the bureau of public roads, Unlceu States department of agriculture, has devised an excellent arrangements for a large granary adapted for the general grain farm. This storage is 24 by IA feet in floor dimension and is sl1bdivided in to four bins, each of which is by g feet, and has a capacity of 450 bush els. Each bin is provided with a door through which the grain may be~dis- tcibuted into the storage, while it also has a protected scoop door through which the grain can be delivered. The four bins front on an alley way which is 6 by IA feet, where the seed can be famed and cleaned or rlse treated against disease. In case of emergen- ry, where the grain crop exceeds the permanent storage capacity, this space also may be partitioneds off and util- ized for storage purposes. The total capacity of the permanent bins is l. | 200 bushels, while the emergency space also available in the central cleaning
 floor increases the total possible stor-
 age to over 2.100 bushels.

CONNECTICUT CORN SHOWS.


 The success Of last years corn shows tn each of the eight counties of Con necticut assures a repetition of |, the shows this year. Dates have bee1g set on only three shows at present but the plan Is 10 have all of them out of the way by Jan %.
 In each county the show will be held under the direction of the farm bureau, assisted by specialists from the agro- nomy department at Connecticut Agri- cultural college at Storrs. Full details or the plans in any county may be ob- tained upon application t9 the county agent
 An interesting phase of the corn show plans is the examination test. Fifty cars Of corn will be exhibited along with examination test shbw- ing the germinating per cent. of each ear Of corn. This exhibit is eXpekted to be Of especial interest Ito farrters who- were unfortunate enough te Hant immature corn of low germinationithe past year. Connecticut farmers are urged Co test their seed corn next spring.
 There will be prizes offered for fen car exhibits Of the leading varietiek of corn grown in the state. The sibws will also carry exhibits of small grains. lnCluuluB wheat rye. oalS, barley ana huckwhcat Soy beans will be included in the exhibits in some counties.
 The purpose Of the shows is totfna crease tho interest in the growing of grain crops in tho state and 10 en- couraEcshetter seed selection and test ing for Eermination. Reports from the different counties indicate that there is a widespread interest in the shows.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

you are only too familiar with the farm labor situation. Conservation of man power is of the utmost impor- tance.
 In view of these several considera- tions, the food department of the state council of defense, the state college at Storrs. and the department of agricul- ture at Washington are all agreed that the least they can do is to bring this matter ot your attention. 1t is their function to present the case and give the evidence; it is yours to decide the question on it's merits. Under the stress and strain of war, the food ad- mlnistration's hue and cry in all com modtties has been "a reserve supply, a stored surplus stock from which to draw in case of emergency" Do you not think Connecticut corn growers should save double their seed require ments-a two years supply-enough for themselves and one neighbor, not necessarily next door, but some farm CT in Maine or Michigan or Minnesota, whose corn did not mature?
 Experience and experiments both
 teach that good seed corn depends upon the three following factors: CD a high producing strain or variety. (2) a suitable selection in the fall, and i @ proper storage.
 1 Many productive and adapted strains | have been tested by che experiment ! stations al New Haven and Storrs, and | information may be had from either
 for the asking. Since most of the corn i has been cut, it is now a question of selecting seed from the shock at husk- j ing time and perhaps more important 1 than this is the matter of proper stor-
 age.
 f The safe and sure method is to dry
 the corn thoroughly before freezing l fweather This may be done in a number of ways-spread out on rocks stick on nails driven through boards string up with twine, or braid ears to-
 gether with the husk The boards ttwine or braids should be hung up SC 'lthat the air may circulate freely about t;he ears. The cheif object in storage lis to sperad the ears so as to expose
 them to tn eair and thus hasten dry Fng. If the corn is fully matured. ar Itihcial heat> is not necessary. but fl
 may be desirable if the ears still con. tain excessive moisture. A well ven tilated shed or loft is a good storage
 S-'ace for mature corn, but corn that is
 not quite ripe may need a little heat
 such as can be had in the garret loft ol
 over the kitchen stove. Of course one
 must beware of mice, rats and birds.
