ACID PHOSPHATE BIG FACTOR
Large Increase in Corn, Wheat and
Glover Hay Obtained at Ohio
Experiment Station.

The Ohio station in testing manure
and fertilizers has secured an average
yield of corn of 81 bushels per acre
for 81 years, or an increase of 35 BUSH
els over the yield where no manure
or fertilizer has been used. The corn
crop was grown in rotation of corn,
wheat and clover. The manure ap-
piled in this case had been REINFORCED
in the stables at the rate of 40 pounds
of acid phosphate per ton of manure
Eight tons were applied to the clover
sod in the winter before it was plowed
down for corn.
The experiments show that manure
loses much of its fertilizing proper
ties when allowed to be leached by
rains, and also that manure needs re-
enforcement with phosphorus to be
most effective. From this applica-
tion Of manure and acid phosphate
there has also been an average in
crease of Is bushels of wheat and
$500 pounds of clover hay over the
untreated plots in the rotation, the
wheat and clover following the corn
without any further manuring or fer
tilizing.

VIENNA DEATH RATE
BECOMES APPALLING
Condition of Children Even More
Narrowing, Declares Authority
on City's Desperate Plight.

Five years Of famine have resulted
in greatly increased mortality and
morbidity In Vienna which before the
war was counted as one Of the health
lest cities in Europe. Figures prepared
by DR.. Gustave Bohn, head Of the
Vienna Health Department, show that
In 1918 the death rate was 1853 per
thousand. In 1918 the rate was 22.5
per thousand. an increase Of more than
~ per cent.
Professor Hans Spell of the Uni
versity Of Vienna. says that "even
more terrible than the mortality sta
tistics are those referring to the con-
dtion Of children and their mothers.
Owing to under-nourishment few moth.
ers can nurse their babies, and the milk
shortage affects not only infants. but
all children in spite Of al that has

Clemens Pirquet's clinic in the uni
versity some 54,849 children were ex-
amined in 1918. Only 4.637 Of -hese

"The chief medical officer of Vienna

To combat these conditions the Amer

Herbert Hoover is chairman fed last

100000 of the destitute and UNDER
nourished children, supplying them
with a substantial meal of American
food, served In a number of large
Kitchens opened for that purpose.
The conditions In Vienna are more

TO HANDLE STUBBLE FIELDS
II Cultivated Crops Are to Follow
Good Plan Is to List Land
Soon as Possible.

One Of the best ways to handle
stubble fields on dry lands is to disk
the stubble as soon as possible after
the crop is removed. according to
Professor Kezer, Colorado agricultural
college. If the land is to he put back
into fall wheat. plowing should be done
Immediately. The earlier the plowing
is done. the better the chances of get
ting a crop. This is due to the fact
that nature requires some time to
properly settle and compact the seed
bed.
If the stubble land is to be put in
to cultivated crops the following year
q good method to follow and cheap
one is to use the lister just as soon as
the grain is off if possible. This is
one Of the cheapest methods of control.

LAUGHTER OF CHILD
SCARCE IN POLAND

ain all the time ] was In Poland,
scarcely once saw child laugh"
declared DR. Harry Plotz, disco 'erer Of
the typhus haccllus, In q report to
the European Relief Council on med
ica conditions among the Jewish popu-
lation Of Poland, based on his recent
Investigations there for the Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee.
1.-THE most deplorable sight of all
the miseries in Poland Is the condi-
tiea Of the children" DR.. Plotz said.
"Infant mortality Is exceedingly high
because of under-nourishment and the
high percentage Of contagious diseases.
In large part mothers must resort to
artificial feeding as they are unable to
nurse their children. In many cities
l saw underfed children, suffering with
diseases, wandering about the streets
with no place to 60, begging for bread"
tuberculosis has become prevalent
among the Jewish children. largely
due to the overcrowded conditions in
which they are forced to live, their
lack Of nourishing food and warm
clothing, according to DR.. Plotz.
Typhus, which killed thousands OF
Jews last winter In the worst epidemic
Poland has ever seen will recur again.
he said, as conditions are much worse
among the Jews than ever before.
"Favus, a contagious skin disease.
Is now rapidly spreading from child
to child" he continued. "In wilma
there are 1900 cases among the Jew
ish children alone. Smallpox, too. Is
prevalent throughout Poland and the
Ukraine and children, with wide
spread eruptions and temperature.
have been seen running about the
streets. There are thousands of cases
every year. which vaccination would
prevent. but there is no vaccine"
DR.. Plotz told how In Lithuanian
villages he found children. six and
seven years old, unable to walk or
talk, the result Of malnutrition. In
regions where whole towns had been
destroyed during the war, he found
families crowded in miserable dug

Some men mark the selected stalks,
but do not cut them until after the
field Is cut. Others husk the selected
ears before cutting and hang them
up at once in place where they will
dry quickly.
The characteristics to keep in mind
In selecting corn in the field are: A
sturdy, upright stalk of medium
height and thickness. with short joints
and broad leaves carried well down.
which stands in an average hill on
average soil; an ear well matured and
low set, Of fair size, with straight
rows and fairly well-covered tip, with
deep uniform grains, having medium
sized cob, a rather small butt, and a
husk protecting the tip; the ear hang
ing over so as to shed the rain. Al
'hough some strains of corn have been
developed that tend to produce two
ears to the stalk, one good ear is all
we should expect where the stand is
thick enough. 1t is much better to OBJ
tain one good ear than two nubbins.
Anyone who takes an interest and
pride in his corn will find profit and
satisfaction in field selection. especial

The Thanksgiving turkey will b.

thrive better on old grain. Enough old
corn should be held over to feed them
up to Thanksgiving. However, the
fattening process should not begin un
til early November. The important
thing is to feed enough each night tc
keep them in the habit Of coming

Some Characteristics for Farmer to

The best way to select seed corn is
from the standing stalks. Why? Be
cause we can choose ears from plants
which have produced well in competi-
ton with neighboring plants. After

This is the reason why some of the
best seed corn growers go through
their fields as soon as the ears are
