To members of Agricultural Club
growing corn:
In my last letter I told you how
to prepare the soil and select the
seed for your corn crop. Having
done these things well, the next
thing to consider is the planting OF
the crop. Planting at the right time
and in the right manner is i'm
portant for the best success.

tire crop in your Record Book. The
land must be accurately measured
either by a committee from your
local club, your local club leader,
two disinlerested persons, or the
county agent Any plot Of ground
containing 1850 square feet by
actual measurement is an acre.
The following land measures may
prove helpful:
A square acre is 2Os.H feet at
each side.
A plot 220 feet by 1913 feet con-
tains one acre.
A plot no feet by 396 feet con-
tains one acre.
A plot 50 feet by 792 feet con-
tains one acre.
When to Plant
Corn should not be planted until
the ground has become thoroughly
warm. The time for planting varies
somewhat in different localities and
in different years, due TO varying
seasonal conditions. Most Of the
corn in this State is planted from
the 25th Of April TO the 10th of May.
Community experience as regards
time Of planting is a very valuable
guide and the best practice is TO
plant when the best farmers Of
your community are planting their
main crop. Neither extremely early
planting nor very late planting
should be practiced.
How to Plant
Unless the corn is dropped by
Hand. test the planter and regulate
il SO as to plant the desired number
Of grains each time. Whether to
plant in drills or checks should be
decided by local conditions. If the
ground is weedy, it should by all
means be planted in checks. On
hillsides, il is of course necessary
TO drill. There seems to be little
difference in the yield of corn
whether planted in drills or checks.
II planted in checks, the hills should
be three and One-half feet apart
each way; if drilled, the plants
should stand about twenty-one
inches in rows which are three and
one-half feet apart. In hill corn,
plant four grains per hill, and in
drilling plant two seeds at each
place. This rate of planting APP
plies especially in case Of test acres
and would not be practical in large
acreages in all cases. However,
many farmers regard it as very
profitable to plant heavily and thin.
After the corn is a foot high, so that
the danger from cut worms and
other insects is past, thin TO two
stalks in the hill and one stalk in
each place in case of the drilled
corn. Experience has shown that
it pays to plant plenty of seed and
to thin the corn so as to insure a
perfect stand. Corn should be plant
ed only deep enough to place the
seed in moist soil. There is no ad-
vantage whatever in planting ex-
cessively deep as IL takes longer
for the corn to come up, and in fact
there is a chance that it may not
come up at all. Don't plant any
nearer than fifteen inches to your
line as your crop will be
taking advantage Of adjoining land.
In my next letter | will tell you
of the reasons why we cultivate
crops and will tell you just how 10
give your corn crop the best kind
Of care for a good yield. II is i'm
portant that you include in your
Record Book an accurate account
Of the expenses and time used in
raising your crop.
Yours very truly,

Favor Permanent Wage Board.

Formation OF a permanent wage
board by Congress to carry on the
work of the recla assification commits
sion after its report in Congress was
recommended in a tentative report
presented to the advisory wage COM
mittee last night by DR.. +. B. Rosa
of the bureau of standards. chairman
of special subcommittee on the
feasibility of periodic wage adjust
ment.
This report, with it's comment con-
cerning an so per cent increase in
government salaries here, was finally
recommitted. owing to the fact that
Miss Ethel NJ Smith. representing the
Woman's Trade Union, declared she
could not agree to certain matters in
the report. especially to one sentence
declaring that the bonus might be
scaled down for higher salaries
The new wage scale for government
employees will have to be higher. DR..
Rosa brought out in his report, than
the old scale now in force, but it was
his opinion and that of the other men,
bers of the subcommittee who signed
the report that some basic scale will
have to be fixed for federal salaries.

An increase of so per cent over the

of the belief that an increase of

things. and are not to be done
lightly

by the bureau of labor statistics of
the Department of Labor. 1t was be-
lieved that if an increase of so per

make such changes as would be
necessary if any sudden and decided
drop should take place in the cost OF
living, thereby changing radically the

Wage Board to Fix Bonus.

The wage board, under the plan pre-

ing the variable bonus. and would be
appointed by Congress to carry on

duties. it was brought out by DR..
Rosa. This board also would be q

ters affecting government employees
here, both in the federal departments
and in the District government. 1t
would hear and adjust all complaints
of employees The wage board would
be required to make annual reports

Small changes in the price level
would not affect the bonus given, it
was stated. Placing the index fig
ure at 225. at present, the figure
would have to drop below 200 before
any change would be contemplated

to fear any situation in which their

DR.. Meeker contrasted his budget
with the Canadian budget prepared
for use with the reclassification of
the Canadian civil service, and point
ed out that about s2.240 is necessary
today to maintain such family in
health and decency such as it had on a
salary of s1.400 in 1916. The increase
in the cost of living here since 1918
and 1914 has been so per cent, DR..
Meeker's report brought out. He as
serted that the Canadian budget,
which gave a figure much below DR..
Meeker's figure, was inadequate in
many points, notably food and cloth
ing.

ing that something more than $500

Bonus Would Be Needed.

would be necessary to bring the SAL
aries even after adjustment. up to the
figure needed to meet the cost of liv-
ing today, the speaker said. He sug-
gested that perhaps some such divi-
sion might be made as the following:
A so per cent increase over present
salaries. plus a 80 per cent bonus.
These figures were based upon the
generally accepted fact that the cost
of living in the District of Columbia
has increased so per cent over the
figures in 1918, and that. oEhand. that
is the increase in salaries necessary to
give government workers here today
wages equivalent to the purchasing
power of pre-war days.

Want Collective Bargaining.

Collective bargaining between en-
ployes of the government here and
Uncle Sam could best be attained,
according to the report, through the
instrumentalit of the wage board. 1t
was pointed out that collective bar
gaining is to be desired, and that a
strike of government employees is as
unthinkable in the future as in the
past.
Two methods of collective bargain
ing were suggested: One, that au-
thorized conferences be created and
held. The other, and the method
recommended, that the wage board be
used as the instrumentality for bar
gaining.
Three factors, however, must be
| taken into consideration by the re-
! classification commission in setting
| new wage scales. DR.. Rosa asserted
The first factor is the increased cost
of living, placed at so per cent over
| Salaries paid outside workers doing
work comparable to that perform ed
hv federal workers constitute the
second factor, which must be con-
sidered by the commission in fixing
wape standards anew. DR.. Rosa point
ed ont, The third factor is the mini
mum wage which will have to be set
hv the reclassification commission.
