CORN FACTS

Question-To what family of plants
does corn belong?
Answer-Corn is a cereal and be-
longs to the grass family of plants.
The Root System
Q.-What kind of a root system
does corn have?
Acorn, like all the grasses, has
a fibrous root system, which is COM
paratively large, spreading out later
ally many feet in all directions from
the stalk, and penetrating the soil to
depth of three to five feet. Because
Of this large, penetrating root system,
corn is good feeder Of soil fertility
and, therefore, requires rich soil to
produce good crops.
P.-What are the brace roots?
A.-The brace roots grow from the
first few nodes Immediately above the
surface of the ground. They act as
braces to hold the stalk erect. They
sometimes develop into true roots,
and penetrate deep into the soil; usu-
ally, however, they are mere stubs,
ending a short distance beneath the
surface
Q.-Should the cultivation of corn
be deep or shallow?
A.-Many of the true roots grow
close to the surface of the soil, which
fact necessitates a shallow cultivation
of the soil in which the corn crop is
growing, especially after the root sys-
tenn has made a good development.
Deep cultivation breaks off the roots
that grow near the surface, which re-
duces the capacity of the plants for
procuring food from the soil.
The Stalk and the Leaf
Q.-What are the nodes and inter-
nodes?
A.-The nodes are commonly called
joints, while the spaces between them
are called internodes. The stalk, or
has succession of nodes and inter-
nodes. The internodes have grooves
on one side.
Q-What are the fibro-vascular
bundles?
A.-The fibro-vascular bundles are
tfrread-like structures in the pith, with
which the interior of the stalk is filled.
1t is through the fbro-vacular bund-
les that the sap is conveyed through
out the plant.
l. Q-Where are the leaves attached
to the stalk?
A.-The leaves are attached to the
stalk at the nodes; leaf grows from
each node.
Q-Name the part of a corn leaf.
A.-The corn leaf has the usual four
parts of grass leaf; namely the
sheath, the blade, the ligule, and the
aurieles.
o.-why does corn need so much
water?
All plants take up water thru
their roots, pass it through the length
of their structures to the leaves, from
whence most of it escapes intp the
air. This passage of the water
through the plant and its exhahtion
into the atmosphere lis called rans-

Every man should be deeply CRATE

merely as short cut to a home and

Now that the women have learned
to run street cars, and the men have
make beds, you may notice that it's
the girls, not the boys, who are anx

once tired business man" is perfect

old harness and go on being tired

If you want to know what girl
really means, watch the corners her
eyes; if you want to know what a
man really means, watch the corners
of his mouth-but dear me! who
wants to know what they really mean,
when they are saying something SO
much pleasanter?

When a man really cares to kiss a
girl, somehow he doesn't dare-and
when he really dares, somehow he
doesn't care.
