this city and other places where the
ban is lifted, opened Monday morn
ing. The churches also opened Sum

agriculture.
l. What are the chief factors of En-
vironment in plant life?
The chief factors of environment
as it pertains to our cultivated plants
are: sun, light, temperature, mois-
ture and soil.
2, Are all these factors subject to
modification by man?
They are.
3. How may we regulate the amount
of sunlight which plants receive?
We may regulate the amount of
sunlight which plants receive by the
directions in which the rows are
planted. When corn is drilled in
North and South rows it receives
more sunlight than if drilled in East
and West rows. Also crops planted
thick onthe ground" receive less sun
light than if planted wide apart This
is one of the reasons we thin" corn.
4. How may we regulate the factor
of temperature in the environment
of plants?
We regulate the temperature sur
ronding cultivated plants by early or
late planting according to whether the
plant requires a low or high temper
ature.
8. How is moisture controlled?
The methods of moisture control
range through all the intermediate
stages from drainage to irrigation.
Wet lands are drained; dry lands are
irrigated. The dust mulch is used to
conserve moisture in the loan soils,
while clay soils are listed" or ridged
so they will dry out
6. What is meant by limiting fac
tors" of environment?
Sunlight, temperature, and soil con-
ditions may be ideal for a given crop,
but if there be a shortage of moisture
the crop will produce only so much
as the amount of moisture will permit.
Moisture in this case was the linn
iting factor.
2. When is it profitable to use fer
tilizersl
1t is profitable to use fertilizers
only when plant food is the limiting
factor.
8. What plant foods are supplied in
the form of fertilizersl
The principal plant foods supplied
in fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash.
o. How do the elements named in
number 8 get out of a soill
There are three principal ways in
which soils are depleted; Removing
the matured crop from the land,
teaching and surface washing.
10. What is leaehingl
All plant foods are soluble in wat
er. When rain falls on land the wat
er that does not run OFF slowly set

Corn: S1.30 in Pork.

Chicago, April 29. - Tremendous
price smashing took place today on the
board of trade. Holders of grain and
provisions competed on a big scale in
an effort to unload and stop losses on

pork.

great weakness dropping to Sl.512. as
against 1855 to sl.66 at yesterdays
finish. July delivery at s1.57l2, was
off more than 13 cents from yester-
DAYS top level. Trading in the corn
market was especially on broad
scale, with individual operations count
ing for little.
Accompanying the break in prices
and forming a powerful aid for senu-
1nent for a cheaper level of values was
a notice from the federal wheat d.
rector that tile government would dis

this was to stop speculative fever.
