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.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
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 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 a 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
lions to determine the influence OF
the different dates of planting on corn
yields. The state experiments re-
viewed indicate that the best yields
of grain may be expected from the
early seedlings and the most rapid de-
velopment and greatest growth from
tremely early nor the very late plant
ings are 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 five-year period,
are presented in Department Bulletin
No. 1914, Effect of Date of Seeding
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 a 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

test, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture, it is Gus
tomary to determine the percentage of
pure Seed inert matter such as dirt,
chaff, and broken seeds, and foreign
seeds, including weed and other kinds.
A sample is taken varying in weight
from 1 to 100 grams or more Ga tea
spoon for the clovers and small-seeded
grasses, a tablespoon for the grasses,
and a considerably larger amount for
cereal grains), depending upon the
size of the seed being examined. For
the termination test usually two lots
of 100 seeds each are placed on or
between blotting paper, canton fan
mel, or such material, and kept in a
room or chamber at a temperature of

Mrs. Wilson attributes his fine health
toEagle Brand, on which he wasraised.
Mrs. Wilson was an Eagle Brand baby
too, SO of course she brought up her
little son on it. This is one of the
thousands of cases where Eagle Brand
has been the accepted baby food for
several generationsin the same family.
In some cases grandmother, mother,
and child were all reared on it. For
Eagle Brand has been the standard
for sixty,four years.
No thoughtful mother would EXPERT
menf with her baby. Mothers milk
is best, of course, but if it fails for
any reason, Eagle Brand is the natural
substitute. Eagle Brand is not ''pre-
pared food at all. 1t is nothing but
pure milk and pure sugar combined.
Mothers all over the country have
written us of the wonderful results
they have had in feeding it to their
babies. And doctors recommend it
in stubborn feeding cases-it is so
very digestible.
Eagle Brand Milk is entirely safe,
pure and uniform. Each can is like
