The Farm woodland.

This is the time Of year when the
most neglected part of the farm
comes in for some consideration. A
woodlot is necessary adjunct OF
every well ordered farm. 1t is look
ed to as the source of fire-wood,
fencing, building material and has
often helped out the owner with
ready cash from the sale of timber.
While it is true that the woodland is
the only part of the farm that will
not deteriorate If left alone, it is
also true that no other part of the
farm will bring better returns for a
small amount of intelligent care
than this same woodland. Growing
trees for timber is not much unlike
growing other crops. Planting,
weddings, trimmings and certain cul-
tural operations are often employed
to advantage in timber growing.
AS in handling other crops, there is
the right thing to do at the right
time to get the best results. When
timber reaches maturity, it should be
cut, but young, thrifty trees of de-
sirable kind should be saved for
further growth. In the matter of
cutting fire-wood-a winter oper-
ton on practically every farm
there is first the opportunity to help
the woodland by making an improve
ment cutting to rid the woods OF
trees of little or no prospective
value-tree weed-and thereby re-
lease a more valuable growth. On
the other hand, with no definite plan
of what to cut, the wood-chopper
often takes the straight, thrifty trees
of the best species, leaving the kind
that are only fit for firewood to
stand.
The State Board of Forestry, 532
North Howard Street, Baltimore,
Maryland has helped hundreds in
the handling of woodlands for great
er profit, and extends its service to
all.

Armenian-Syrian Relief Drive Begins
February 8.
Maryland will be asked to DO her
part on February in the nation
wide drive for $3O,O0O,O0O being
made by the Committee. The situ-
alton in the Near East" is summed
up aptly in the appeal of Maryland's
Food Administrator William. H.
Maltbie who says:
The Campaign for $50, 100000 for
the purpose of Syrian and Armenian
relief is undertaken with the full
approval and backing of the United
States Food Administration.
We cannot hope to realize the
benefit of our victory until stable
governments. have been established
and normal conditions restored on
the other side, and neither stable
governments nor normal conditions
are possible so long as whole nations
are on the verge of starvation and
are living generally in abject misery.
Our Allies on the other side arc will
ing to do their part in providing re-
lief for those who, like the Syrians
and Armenians, have suffered sc
terribly throughout the war:
The world must look to US, how
ever, as the great nation that has
suffered least, to furnish the major
part of the fund for material relief
necessary to carry the world over to
the next harvest.
The people of the State of Mary
land have responded with the utmost
degree of cooperation to practically
every request of the Food Admins
tration, through their cooperation
they have made it's work possible,
and by their loyalty and self denial
have contributed very largely to the
winning of the war. 1t is with the
utmost confidence, therefore, that !
call upon them, speaking as the
official representative of the United
States Food Administration, to co
operate in this movement for Syrian
and Armenian relief, and urge them
to contribute generously, not only
because the need of these peoples
appeals to every generous instinct of
humanity, but also because a failure
to relieve them will rob us of some
of the fruits of the victory for which
we have already sacrificed so much.
W. H. MALTBIE,
Federal Food Administrator
for Maryland.

MORE AND BETTER CORN

The average acre yield of corn In
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, three Of the
leading corn-belt states, has been
about 50 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 IL bushels per acre-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 800 pounds per acre of
acid phosphate, however, the increase
In the corn crop has been an addition
al IL 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.
