MORE AND BETTER CORN

| The average acre yield of corn In
| leading corn-belt states, has been
about 80 bushels per acre--and this on
land which has been farmed for scarce
ly more than two generations, and
which Is naturally of the best. On the
other hand, In New England, on land
cultivated for well on to two centuries,
ON soil not of the best, and In climate
rather bleak and harsh, the average
has been AZ bushels per acre. 1t is
the consistent and intelligent use of
fertilizers which has made the differ
ence possible. In all corn sections
yields of from 20 to 100, or even more.
bushels per acre are easily possible.
Fertilizers not only make possible the
production of more corn per acre, but
by SO doing free land for other uses
for more wheat. or more Of any other
crop.
Nearly all OF the experiment stations
have experimental with fertilizer on
corn. In Ohio 800 pounds per acre Of
complete fertilizer increased the
yield II bushels per aere--this where
no manure was used. At the same
station eight tons OF manure, contain
ing considerably more ammonia and
potash, but no more phosphoric acid
than the above fertilizer, produced an
increase of 20 bushels of corn per
acre. When this manure was supple
mented with 320 pounds per acre OF
acid phosphate, however, the increase
In the corn crop has been an addition
al II bushels. This means total In
crease of 80 bushels per acre, produced
by manure and fertilizer.
The West Virginia experiment sta
ton secured an increase of AZ bush
els per acre from the use of complete
fertilizer alone. At the Pennsylvania
experiment station, $50 pounds per
acre of complete fertilizer increased
the corn crop by IS bushels.
Lack of available plant food Is the
greatest single factor causing low acre
yields of corn. It is the function OF
fertilizer to supply this available food.
FERTILIZER, in connection with good
farming practices, will double the acre
yield OF corn, and thus set free land
more than sufficient to grow wheat
enough for ourselves and for our allies
in Europe. To grow more corn or
more wheat we need send to the block
not single head of breeding stock.
Owing to the labor and car shortage
fertilizers for next spring should be
ordered shipped now.

MAKING AN ACRE PRODUCE
MORE PORK

In these days when every acre must
be made to produce its utmost, the re-
suits with fertilizers at the Ohio agri-
cultural experiment station are most
interesting.
TRANSMITTING corn yields into terms of
work, it was found that where no fer
tilizer of any kind was used, an acre
of corn would produce about 2S2
pounds of pork; where manure was
used on the corn land, 457 pounds of
pork were produced; and where fer
tilizer was applied in addition to
manure. an acre of corn produced $50
pounds of work.
On most farms manure is lacking
and more dependence must be placed
upon the commercial forms of fertiliz-
err All who expect to use fertilizer
next spring should place their orders
not later than November. Wartime
conditions make 1t necessary to order
far in advance.

POTASH HUNGER OF POTATOES

Potatoes don't set as well, tubers

fsofafo SPECIALISTS, who have been
Studying the matter. say that most Of

say that the new diseases of potatoes
WhicM have been so common for the
past two years are nothing more than
Potash Hunger"
The Phoma stem blight, which was
so common In 1913 along the Eastern
seaboard. has been definitely traced
down to malnutritIon due to lack Of
potash. The disease Is made apparent
by bronzing of the foliage followed
by a premature collapse of the entire
plant
Specialists In Washington say that
using potash fertilizer will remove the
cause of the trouble, and advise farm
ers to buy fertilizer containing 2 to 3
per cent of potash for use next year.

NEW YORK, Nov What is tn,
banking view of American business
and labor prospects?
Professor B. NJ Anderson. Jr.. late
of Harvard University, now associated
with the National Bank of Commerce
New York; gives this personal repl,
to the question:
The continuance of business ac
tiyity will have to rest on a SQUARE
DEAL TO LABOR and on a generous
policy of lending on the part of the
United States, the one great country
which has large surplus.
Europe has a sound Aasis OF credit
to offer. The people are intelligent. eff
ficient and accustomed to pay their
debts. They are impoverished now. but
their industry and frugality will give
them wealth in the future.
Their great war debts, so far as
held by their own people, need not Sc
riously weaken their credit with the
outside world Even those weaker
countries with large foreign debts may
still secure new capital from outside
on receivers certificates or on pledge
of special revenues.
Our own interests are bound ND in
a magnanimous foreign policy. Espe-
cially must we let gold go freely when
ii will. Unless the rest of the world
Can revive its commerce and indus
try it cannot buy our goods or pay its
debts to us.
international trade is a matter Of
reciprocal advantage. All the world
shares in the prosperity of country
which plays the game fairly.
The game of commerce must not
be played in the. future as an adjunct
to piratical diplomacy nor must tho
game of diplomacy be played as an
.adhmctdo selfish business
We must free the world from the
German spirit as well as from the Ger

1T seems incredible that our Ma
