plant. Later civilizations have for their
! purpose the destruction of weeds and
the conservation of moisture. They
should be given when weeds appear or
the earth mulch is destroyed. A good
rair in summer, unless followed by a
surface cultivation to reestablish the
mulch, frequently leaves the soil WITH a
lower moisture content than before the
rain.
Probably the most important use for
corn in the valley is for silage, al
though many farmers are coming to de-
pend on the corn crop to fatten their
hogs, and feed their chickens during
the winter months. A rapidly increasing
amount of local grown corn is also be-
ing ground by valley mills and used in
the homes.
The ensiling of corn is doubtless the
most profitable use to make of the crop
since the entire crop is thus saved. This
is an important item in the economy of
production since about 40 per cent of
the feeding value Of the corn plant is
contained in the stalk. The greatest hem

Mr.. Crawford is so impressed with

on the prosperity Of the country the
flax industry would have can be seen by
