THE FARMER AND HIS CORN

There can be no question that the
farmer, like the manufacturer, pros.
pers best when he produces just such
a quantity Of each staple as he can
sell promptly at good profit. The
danger is that he will produce not toe
much and not too little. That not
only means loss to him but disar-
ranges the economy Of the whole
world.
This year the farmers have raised
more corn than is needed, and there
fore the price is far below what il
should be to give them a profit. Nat
urally they are considering what they
shall do next year to avoid the same
trouble. The more intelligent OF
their advisers are recommending that
they reduce the acreage of corn 10 cor

Taking Desperate Chances.

It is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment
and a knowledge Of this fact leads
others to take their chances instead OF
giving their colds the needed atten-
ton. It should be borne in mind that
every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality, makes the system less
able to withstand each succeeding at
tack and paves the way for the more
serious diseases. Can you afford tc
take such desperate chances when

might reduce it too much and SO al
tlict the nation with short and un-
reasonably costly crop. But that is
hardly a real danger, for the Corn
Belt farmer knows corn, is not eager
to make experiments and is pretty
sure to plant enough land to yield a
fairly good crop.
It is sometimes said that a great
amount of cheap corn is good thing
for the stock feder and for the con-
sumer both of corn and of meat; but
a continual oversupply Of cheap corn
is sure to lead to an oversupply OF
cattle and Of pigs, and eventually to
q forced market for them at a price
below the cost Of production.
All that may seem to be to the ad-
vantage Of those who must buy farm
products; but in the long run it is
not. Sooner or later anything that
cripples the farmer financially Injuries
everyone else in the country, for agrl-
culture is still and always will be the
! basic industry Of the nation. NO
small part Of the business depression
that we are all worrying about is the
result of the diminished buying power
| Of the farmers, caused by the fall IN
the price Of corn and wheat.
It will be interesting to see whether
the corn farmers meet the problem OF
overproduction with the same deter
niuation that the cotton planters
showed. The cotton growers reduced
their crop this year to little more than
half the amount harvested year ago;
but in doing it they had the able as
sistance Of the boil weevil, which was
more active than ever in the cotton
fields. The corn farmers may even
tually find an equally effective check
on production in the European corn
borer, a pest that is now we'll estab-
lished in New England and that is
| moving westward in spite Of every
form of quarantine. If the corn
borer ever gets firm foothold in the
great corn region Of the Mississippi
Valley, the farmer will not have to
! worry about low price for corn u.
What will bother him then will be
how to get any crop at all.

Frost Rims Fruit in Maryland

Black frost spread over the State
during Monday and Tuesday nights
bringing death to blossoms and buds on
fruit trees, thousands of which were in
full blossom in the eastern portion of
the State. 1t is estimated the dam
age will amount to many thousands of
dollars. The high wind Monday night
blowing at 10 miles an hour as it did,
would prevent an ordinary frost from
falling, but a black frost means a
freeze, and with the mercury down to
25 degrees at many points there was a
heavy freeze. More than one orchard
man went to his fruit trees in the
morning and pinched ice out of the
buds or blossoms.
