PLANT. CORN FOR
LARGEST YIELDS
Nothing Gained by Seeding Be-
fore Conditions of Soil and
Atmosphere Are Right.
NEITHER EXTREME DESIRABLE
Greatest Total Growth Of Stalk Made
From Planting In May Or June
Experiments Of state Stations
corroborated.

(Prspared by the United States Department
OF AEriculture.)
No gain Is made In yield or maturity
BY planting corn before conditions Of
soil and atmosphere are right, In the
opinion OF the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Corn growers
In localities with a long season have
observed that early and late paintings
Of the same variety usually show wide
differences In growth and number Of
days required to reach maturity. In
general, corn which Is seeded early
requires longer time to come up than
that which Is planted later. The plants
also grow more slowly, are shorter.
and bear their ears lower. These are
commonly observed effects Of the date
Of planting.
Best Yields From Early Seeding.
Studies recently have been made by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture at the Arlington experimental
farm near Washington, D. c.. in order
to obtain data which would supplement
that obtained earlier at the various
state experiment stations. Numerous
experiments have been conducted by
the state agricultural experiment sta
tiOns to determine the influence Of
the different dates of planting on corn
yields. The state experiments re-
viewed Indicate that the best yields
early seedlings and the most rapid de.
velopment and greatest growth from
the later seedlings. Neither the ex-
tremely early nor the very late plant
ings ore desirable.
The department investigations were
directed more to a study of the effects
upon growth and development than
to determining the most desirable date
of planting from the standpoint Of
yield. The results Of these studies,
which extended over a five-year PERIOD
are presented in Department Bulletin
No. 1O14, Effect Of Date Of Seeding
on Termination, Growth, and Develop
ment Of Corn. by E. B. Brown and
H. s. Garrison. which may be had
upon application to the department.
The varieties Of corn used In the
experiments cover wide range In the
length of the growing season required.
The data tabulated are limited to the
characters that seem to have been
consistently affected. although the
points studied Included the rapidity
Of termination. the number of days
from emergence to ripening the height
Of stalks. the number Of ears per plant.
the average weight Of ears. the average
yield per plant. and the number Of
suckers.
In all the experiments the germina-
ton OF corn increased In rapidity as
the date of seeding occurred later.
When sown early the short-season
northern varieties came up sooner than
the varieties from the central and
southern states. When sown later
the differences in this respect were not
usually apparent.
May or June Favored.
The total growth of stalk was
greatest from the seedlings In June and

Plant Corn in May or June for Bes
Growth and Yield.

May. The total growth was least and
rate Of growth slowest from the April
seedlings. Development was more rapid
in the later than In the earlier seed
ings.
The number of ears per stalk, the
size of the ear, and the amount Of
suckering bore no consistent relation
to the date Of seeding. The pollen
shedding period was longer in plants
from the early seedlings than in those
from the later seedlings. Seedlings
earlier than normal resulted in slight
gains in the date Of silking.
These experiments corroborate the
conclusions of the state experiment
stations. that corn may be planted in
the vicinity Of Washington and other
localities with q similar season, any
time after May 1, without danger Of
the seed rotting. The best conditions
Of soil and atmosphere usually come
between May 10 and May 20. .=...

Is also known to attack turnip and
cabbage, and after feeding on the
lower surface Of the leaves sometimes
webs them together near the ground.
When abundant, 1t attacks the stalks
even down to the roots. 1t was first
discovered In injurious numbers in Vir-
ginia. near the District Of Columbia.
In 1919, and occasional attacks have
been noted in Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey. and Wisconsin. The
moth of the species is rather bright
ocher yellow. with wing spread Of
about inch. peculiarly spotted. The
eggs are deposited in compact masses
containing from half a dozen to a
score. They are a little brighter
green than the leaf, and each egg is
surrounded by an irregular ring OF
yellow spots.
The webwOrm may be controlled by
arsenicals and by hand-picking on

other crops by fall and spring plOw-
ing and frequent cultivation.

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 2S. ---
Mrs. Eleanor Mills was searched for
b. fiashlight, according to the story
Of 81 alleged eye witness to the muir
de- Of the couple. This story of the
double murder has been corroborated
according to Prosecutor Mott. This
te :"yiole story is being added to the
story of Mrs. Jane Gibson that the
woman in the gray coat helped her
ma,c accomplce search for the
screaming, begging victim. Mrs. Glib

secured eight reliable witnesses to
testify, he said. Mrs. Gibson dcclar-
cd that she heard one Of the women
declare. Glow can you explain these

BILLY STERNSIS
COMING T0V.C.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 26 49, Will
liam Stems, of Minneapolis, is the
boxing professor on the faculty of
Hamlne University, St. Paul, and he
is most capable instructor as the
achievements of his ring team in the
past two years will testify. A tourna-
ment between boxing teams repre-
senting the colleges of the state is
held annually and the Hamline punch
ers have taken the last two meets.
Stems became the Hamline instructor
in the fall of 1920 and competing
against a field of smart coaches he
has developed two state champion
combinations.
However, the professor handles the
boxing classes just on the side. His
chief occupation is putting opponents
to sleep in professional fights and he
is ready at anytime to take on any
man around the 40 mark In the pro-
fessional end of the game, however,
Prof. Stems adopts the more ring like
name of Billy Stems.
Stems has been wearing the padded
gloves for five years during which
time he has had forty fights. He is
a knockout puncher and on his record
are many victories gained with the
kayo. He is % years old.
Billy fights erect like many of the
old time gladiators of the roped arena
His style resembles very much that of
the great Kid Lavigne.
Stems has appeared on several
cards in the east and he has always
given q slam bang mill. He is now
at his best he feels and he wants to
fight Pinl1ie Mitchell, Sid Barbarian,
Billy Wells, Denny O'Keefe, Dave
Shade and any of the rest of the lao
pound stars. He would also welcome
a chance to trade blows with Harvey
Thorpe, the Kansas Citian. He was
once matched with Thorpe but Harvey
ran out Of the scrap, he says
Billy is to meet Muff Bronson, the
Northwest weller star, at Butte on the
night of Oct. 81. From Butte, he
comes to Valley City where he is
matched with Battling Krause of
Bismarck for ten rounds November 10.
