STATE URGES THE
GROWING OF CORN
Money in Such a Crop, De-
clares Bulletin of the De-
partment of Agriculture

State official efforts to increase
the Pennsylvania. corn crop are be-
ing made. Corn will produce more
food per acre than any other plant
grown on American soil," says j,
Aldus Herr. farm adviser of the De-
partment of Agriculture. THE
average yield per acre is small COM
pared to what can actually be
grown if proper care and attention
is given the soil and crop, The corn
plant. like many others. doas best
on soils well filled with humus for,
if properly titled, the soil will re-
tain the moisture later in the sea-
son when the plant needs a large
amount of water to develop the
foliage and the ear.
The corn crop of 1917 was not
we'll matured owing to the lateness
of the planting season and much of
the crop did not get a good start.
The result was-large quantities of
the corn was injured by frost, which
came unusually early. and the crop
did not mature. The corn was late
in curing or drying and much of the
seed was frozen, thus injuring its
terminating qualities. Not for many
years has there been such a demand
for seed corn and good seed Is
| scarce.
Many acres will be planted to
corn that will not make a good stand
of stalks. which means, finally, a
i, poor yield per acre and a poor corn
crop. This can partially be avoided
by carefully selecting your seed and
testing especially if the corn had
| been exposed to severe cold weather
Next. good preparation of the soil
before planting and do not plant toe
earlyH Fair seed that would not
generate under poor conditions
might make a good stand of stalks
| if not planted while the soil is warm
and then given good treatment. II
| is always best to plant corn adapted
to your altitude and the length OF
the season between frosts. Many
persons plant a variety of corn that
requires 120 days for maturity when
their growing season would not be
over 90 days or 100 days. The re-
suit is the crop will not mature and
the feeding value will be much re-
| duced.
The last season was a very eX.
ceptional one to the growers of corr

Aircraft Busy
Enemy aircraft have been ex-
'tremely active along the American
front in PGcardy since the advent of
the new moon. Villages and roads
in the rear of the American lines
have ben bombed and some of the
villages visited by the hostile avia-
tors present pitiful scenes of destruc-
ton. The military damage done
has been negligible but a number of
civilians have been killed, most of
them women and children.
The American soldiers and nurses
in touch with the French population
in the areas that have received Wis
itations are freely offering aid and
comfort to the distressed. That
some OF the American hospitals
have not been damaged is no fault
of the enemy but is due to good for
tune as the Germans are apparently
dropping their bombs without any
consideration of military objectives
The area under bombardment from
the air is that between the American
front and Paris, and nightly the air
over this district is humming with
enemy motors, while, the American
and French anti-aircraft guns are
keping up an almost continuous
bararge.
