"''p"fea oy the United States Department
of Agriculture)
NO gain is made in Weld or matur,tv
ny piahtihg corn before conditions of
SOIL aud 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
Oh the same variety usually show wide
dliterences 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
of grain may be expected from the
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
lngs 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 tive-year period,
are presented In Department Bulletin
No. 1014, Effect of Date Of Seeding
on termination, Growth, and Develop
ment of Corn, by E. b. Brown and
II. S. Garrison. which may be had
upon application to the department.

length of the growing season required.
The data tabulsted 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-
tion 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.

When Helne Was a Tramp.

Heinrich Heine was tramp. He
trudged all of one summer through Sax
ony in an old coat. He was going to
Weimar to fiatter-that seems odd
Goethe. AS he wandered through the
Harz mountains coming the speech
he meant to make to the great German
poet, he plucked plums by the way
side. When he reached his destination
he forgot his eulogy and could only
stammer his praise Of Saxon plums.
The railing, cynical exile of Paris,
prodding his enemies with trenchant
pen, was that summer lovable as

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

NAV. 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 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.

TEST SEEDS BEFORE SOWING
OF Big Advantage to Farmer to De
termine Purity and termination
Of Various Grains.

Whether the seed is for sale or fU
his own use on the farm, the farmer
will find it to his advantage to test
his seed, or have 1t tested, for purity
and termination. In making purity
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 "a tea
spoon for the clovers and small-seeded
grasses, a tablespoon for the grasses,
and 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 temperature Of
60 degrees to 80 degrees F. for 8
to % days, depending upon the kind
Of seed being tested.
Samples for purity and termination
tests may be sent to the seed labora-
tory of the United States Department
of Agriculture at Washington, D. c.,

In addition to two other specific and

the European horse-radish webworm

name. While favoring horse-radish, 1t
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, it attacks the stalks
even down to the roots. 1t was first
discovered in injurious numbers in Vir-
ginla, 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 1 inch, peculiarly spotted. The
eggs are deposited in compact masses
containing from half a dozen to
score. They are 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
horse-radish, and more readily on
other crops by fall and spring plow
ing and frequent cultivation.
