How Some Miners are Treated.

In n magazine. published about a
year ago, before this great Coal
Strike. was the following:
In contracts between mine-owners
and miners in some coal-fields there
is a clause that states that if a miner
does not appear for work by the time
the whistle blows, the mine owner
may take a dollar off his days wages,
unless in case of sickness or other
unavoidable cases. But if the miner
gets up early and walks or rides sew
eral miles to the mine, only to find
that the mine-operatOr has decided
that no work will be done that day,
the miner tuges back home, but re
ceives nothing of his wage, not even
his carfare is given him.

suspended herself by her teeth.
Then came time for her to climb
back into the plane for the return to
earth-her apprenticeship ended

But exhaustion or fear, or pehaps
both, had overtaken her and she was
unable to make her way back.
PEBBLES seeing her predicament
flew low over a lake and motioned
for her to drop, but she feared to
take the chance or else entangled and
could not, so again the plane scared
into the clouds.

Still the plane circled about. giving
the girl every chance to make her
way back, but darkness was fast de
scending and a landing was neces-
sary. PEBBLES headed for the landing
field and, holding the death ship
about % or 80 feet from the gOund,
he again motioned the girl to let loose
and fall, but still she held on.
The plane dipped to the ground, its
speed slackening to tile minimum.

NEW LIGHT on CAUSES OF CORN
RIOTS

The L. S Department OF Agicul
ture has Just reported the results OF
Investigations carried on in cOopera-
ton with several MidWestern eX-
pertinent stations, concerning the
root. stalk and ear rots OF corn. The
increasing prevalence and severity oil
these diseases throughout the corn
belt has caused them to be regarded
as serious menace to the crop and
every practicable control measure is
being adopted to reduce Hhe losss
from them.
In announcing its conclusions, the
Department states: The severity of
The root. stalk and ear rOts can be
greatly reduced by properly balanc-
ing the fertiliZng elements in the soil
and by planting selected strains of
corn" Checking these diseases is a
complex problem, according to the in
vestigators. and involves careful
consideration OF environment. soil fer
tilitv. and the nature of the particu-
lar strain of corn"
The fact that some acid soils CON
tain water soluable salts OF alumni
um and iron, which are very poison
Gus to corn, particularly. has been
known for some time. The use of
lime removes these elements from the
soil solution. Acid phosphate and
fertilizers containing it, have the
same effect.
Investigators believe that poorly or
undernomrished corn plants are far
more susceptible to these diseases
than are properly and well nourished
ones. Apparently much loss can be
avoided nv careful seed selection and
the proper feeding OF the crop so as
to maintain the correct balance be
tween the elements in the soil.

CORN is AMERICAS
GREATEST CROP

Washington, Nov. 24.-Corn, the
red mans gift to the white man, has
come to be the nations most import
ant farm crop. Consumed either di-
rectly or in the form of meat and
other animal products, it is the prin-
cipal source of the nations food sup
ply. The 1921 yearbook of the de-
partmetn of agriculture shows just to
what extent the three billion bushel
crop forms the basis of the livestock
industry. Forty per cent Of the crop
is fed to swine on farms, 20 per cent
to horses and mules on farms, and
Is per cent to cattle on farms. Only
ten per cent is used direct for human
food.
Corn was one of the most important
gifts America made to the rest of the
world. The United States now pro-
duces about three-fourths of the
worlds corn crop. That corn also is
an important crop in Argentina, Bra
zil, Mexico, and some of the southern
European countries, is shown in the
report.
Weather, insects and plant diseases
have a great deal to do with regulat-
ing the size of the crop in the United
States. The estimated loss caused by
common smut alone during the period
1917-1920 was placed at about eighty
millions of bushels annually. Of in
sect pests the corn-ear worm, where
abundant, causes a loss of at least
seven per cent of the grain on the
ears attacked. The European corn
borer also threatens to take heavy
toll.
1t is stated that the production OF
the corn crop is financed with less
borrowed capital than is the case
with other staple farm crops. The
reason for this is that the farmers
income is distributed throughout the
year more evenly than is the case il
many other sections, and because tht
direct investment in the crop consist!
more of the farmers own labor anc
less of purchased material and equip
ment than is the case in many othel
crops.
The yearbook, which is obtainabl
through congressional representative
from the department, contains mucl
data of interest and value to produc
ers, including chapters on production
costs and figures, financing and ad
vice on production according to seas
onal supply and demand to act towar
preventing future crises for the cor
grower.

KING OF CORN MAY BE

Chicago, Nov. 24-The "Corn King

ner of the sweepstakes in region three

,ten-ear exhibit of yellow corn, laid
plans to enter this years contest but
was stricken with a fatal illness.
Mrs. Ulrey, undaunted, took up the
work of her husband and is planning
to enter the race in her husbands
place. Assuming active management
of the farm, she completed the crop
planted by her husband and selected
the ears which will form her exhibit.
