The lesson to be drawn here il
that while alfalfa is aspanacea for i'm
poverished land. it requires certain
amount of fertility to start the crop.
AS with alfalfa, soy beans and cow
peas will yield bigger crops if the soil
or seed is inoculated. And the crops
which follow the inoculated beans
or peas will be much improved, also.
Unless the home garden is Of fair
size 1t will not pay to raise sweet
corn, because it requires considerable
space. If. however, the garden con
tains 1000 square feet or more, room
should be found for this vegetable for
sugar corn is, without doubt, the most
highly priced product.
The first planting should have beef
made about the first week in may:
the second planting toward the end OF
May. The middle Of June is right for
the third showing and the first weel:
in July for the final planting. Sow
in rows rather than hills to get the
most ears from given era Blu,
don't SOW in single rows, as you are
likely to have poor crop, due to i'm
perfect fertilization ollination.
Pollen Is Carried BY Winds
The tassels at the top Of the stalks
which carries the pollen, must deposit
this powdery substance on the silk Ut
the ears to effect fertilization. The
wind usually blows this pollen away
from it's original stalk to adjoining
stalks. Consequently, if the corn is
grown in single rows little of the pol
len is likely to. reach the silk, hence
poor ears. To overcome this risk sow
the corn in number Of short rows.
Poultry manure is an excellent fer
tilizer for corn. There is none better,
but be careful 10 keep the manure
from direct contact with the seed, as
the tender root are likely to be burned
by it.
Make the rows about three feet
apart; SOW the seed about three inches
apart; later thin the strongest plants
to about eight inches. When the
plants are about a foot high hill them
up little to prevent blowing over in
heavy storms. ~. go s.s,,
Golden Bantam is highly recon-
mended for the home garden corn
patch. 1t is hardy, rather small, o.
excellent flavor and yields in about
70 days. Corn is ready to be eaten
when the kernels are fully filled ont
and when the skin on the grain breaks
at the least pressure, excluding the
milky juice.

nearly meets the requirements of an
ideal terrace than any other type.
Its distinct advantage over the ter
race with fall is that practically none
of the fertile pats of the soil are
removed from the field. It is partic-
ularly suitable for use on open, per-
meable soils. When used in connection
with tile drains on any type of soil it
unquestionably is the most effective
method employed to stop erosion. The
broad-base, graded-ridge terrace, gen.
orally known as the Mangum terrace,
possesses all the advantages Of the
broad-base, level-ridge terrace with
the exception of the one stated above.
1t may be used on any type of soil,
but is recommended for use only on
soils where the broad-base, level-ridge
terrace without tile drainage can moi
be used successfully. 4

ity Usually much more is canned in
one of these kitchens than the families
interested in it can use. 1t is custo-
mary to sell this surplus and use the
proceeds toward paying expenses.
Financing the Enterprise
Some working capital is needed at
the outset for the purchase of ade-
quate equipment. Expenses for rent,
fuel, salaries, raw materials, and
cellaneous items, too, must be met
for some time before returns can be
realized from the products canned. It
is therefore necessary to make definite
plans for financing the kitchen, based
ON a careful estimate Of probable ex.
penses. Community kitchens have
been financed in various ways-for ex.
ample, by school boards, by boards Of
trade, by business mems associations,
by loans from banks or from individ-
uals, and by membership fees. Direc.
gifts from individuals or small group
Of persons is, perhaps in the end, the
least satisfactory method. The men,
bership fee idea is the best, in the
opinion of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which is advo
eating community canning kitchens.
The selection of a building and its
equipment should be considered joint
ly, for the type of equipment fire.
quently depends upon the sort of
building to be used. Since a. primary
object of the community canning
kitchen is to secure the best returns
for the time, effort, and capital in
vested, the use of modern labor-saving
equipment, thoroughly adequate for
the kind and volume of work to be
done, will prove economical in the
end.

Community canning kitchens are no
longer in the experimental stage, but
are established and highly regarded
institutions in the many localities
which have had the <wisdom and fore
sight to erect them.
Fruit and vegetables have the I'M
fortunate habit of coming into their
fullest bearing right when the season
is hottest and the housewife busiest.
The added task of putting up the
winters supply of fruits and vege-
tables seems often "the last straw" to
the already overburdened woman.
Yet there is much more fruit ripening
in the garden than can possibly be
used while it is fresh. So she gets out
her cans.
Help Difficult to Obtain
1t is almost impossible nowadays
to obtain help in the home; so, espe-
cially in those homes where there arr
small children, as much work as pos
Hsible must be sent out to relieve the
burdens of the housewife and mother.
A community canning kitchen, either
of the type to which members may
bring their products to be canned at
a fixed price per can or that in which
members work in groups on special
days with the help Of modern large
scale equipment, saves garden pro-
ducts which would otherwise waste be-
cause the housewives of the locality
have not time or strength to can them,
1t conserves food for those who are
unable to conserve for themselves,
and relieves the pressure of work in
the home at busy season.
Various types of canning kitchens
are IN use today in different parts of
the country. The successful one must.

planting of seed, such as corn, does
not make the root system deeper ex
cept in rare instances. Most plants
really have two root systems; those
which sprout first from the seed kef.
mel the depth Of which is controlled,
of course, by the depth of the plant
ing.
These primary roots come out as
the, plant pokes its way through the
soil, but they seldom last more than,
a couple of weeks; usually they rot
with the seed kernel Before this
takes place, however, the second or
permanent system of roots has start.
ed, about an inch below the surface
of the ground, in the case of loan or
clay soils.
In other words, no matter how deep
you plant the seeds Of most plants
the permanent roots are going to come
out at virtually the same depth. The
important point to this fact is that
planting below the level of the per-
manent root system contributes vir-
tually nothing to the sturdiness of the
plant, and only adds to the length Of
time required for the seedlings to poke
their heads through the SOIL
Shallow Planting Big Aid
Corn offers a splendid opportunity
tc study the development of roots in
relation to the depth of planting. All
other things being equal, if you plant
the seeds six inches deep the main
roots will not be any deeper than IL
you started the seed one inch deep.
But the seeds planted one inch deep
will sprout way ahead of the sis-
inch deep seed. This means much
earlier CROP The disadvantage OF
deep planting is that it takes SO long
for the seeds to get started. The
warmth of the sun does not reach
them as it does with shallow planting.
This is particularly true in cold, wet
weather.
Corn seed should be planted just
deep enough for the kernels to receive
sufficient moisture to sprout. On
light, sandy soil this condition may
be two or three inches deep. On
heavier loamy soil, with average rain
fall, one inch planting is correc+.
Another important consideration in
the development of roots is that few
plants can compete with weeds. The
latter must be kept in subsection by
means of cultivation. Otherwise the
weeds will rob the plant roots OF
moisture and food. Avoid deep culti-
walton close to- the plants; you are
likely to injure the roots. Stirring the
surface soil is sufficient, provided it
is done at the right time.
Alfalfa Needs Fertility to Start
1t is true that alfalfa will do much
better on poor soils than most crops,
and that alfalfa will gradually enrich
the soils with nitrogen, but a gooc
stand Of alfalfa cannot sbe expecte
without some manuring Of first season.
The young plants require an abund-
ance of food for their growth, which
they must obtain from the soil until
they are big enough to secure it from
the air, as in the case of older plants,
whose roots are inoculated with nitro
gen-fxing bacteria.

Week Of Weather Turnout Arizona

PHOENIX, June 23.-Range good, stock fat, grass ripened, forms part of the telegraphic report to the weather bureau from Thatcher, Ariz., as part of the weekly resume of con ditions in that section. Such are the conditions as they prevail along the upper Gila from Fort Thomas to Saf- ford, where the range is supplemented by feed from irrigated bottom lands. From the Douglas and Nogales sec tions come reports of drying pastures with stock losing weight nthe vicin- ity of Douglas. Stock continue to look well in the Pinto section, not withstanding pastures are drying up; elsewhere both stock and range are looking we'll and lambs and calves making fine progress.
 Crop Progress in Arizona
 Cotton has had the most favorable week of the season, with highest day light temperatures averaging 103 de- grees and early morning temperatures 69 degrees. While plants have not caught up with what they should be at this season, growth has been re- markable and urged along by ire quent and copious irrigations, many fields present healthy and uniform appearance. Experienced cotton grow CTS are inclined to hold off on too much irrigation just now, preferring not to sacrifice fruit for the purpose of obtaining husky looking plants l The warm weather for the week has been particularly favorable for the development of corn, potatoes and small grains of the higher attitudes A large crop of beans has been plant ed above the lower valleys and it is making fine progress. The alfalfa seed crop in the Yuma section is said to be smaller than usual, owing tc high winds of previous weeks. The l,cantaloupe crop in the Salt River val ley is exceptionally fine this season and its shipment will commence in 8 few days.
