CAUSES OF CORN ROT
Diseases Found Distributed
Throughout the Corn Belt.
Diseases Can Be Greatly Reduced by
Properly Balancing F~ertiIizInp
Elements In Soil and by Using
Selected Seed.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment Of Agriculture.)
The severity Of the root, stalk, and
ear rots Of corn. diseases found to be
more or less widely distributed
throughout the corr belt, can be
greatly reduced by properly balancing
the fertilizing elements in the soil and
by planting selected strains of corn.
These conclusions are the result Of
Investigations carried on by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in cooperation with q number of
state experiment stations.
In the past 1t was not thought that
the corn plant was particularly sensi.
tive to the balance of the yarlous Gle
ments In the soil, but now the image
caused by these rots is believed to
depend largely upon these conditions
and upon climatic factors. Also the
nature of the plant itself-what plant
breeders call the genetic composition
-rhas much to do with Its susceptible
lily or resistance to these rots. In the
experimental fields self-fertilized
strains Of corn of many different
varieties are showing peculiarities for.
merly regarded as symptoms Of root,
stalk, and ear rots, and many strains
are being Isolated which, even though
self-fertilized for many generations,
show resistance to the organisms as
ISOLATED with the rots.
Reducing the losses from these
rots is a complex problem, requiring
much more Investigation. At present
the department can go little farther
than to say that primarily 1t involves
n careful consideration of environ
nnent, soil fertility, and the nature of
he particular strain of corn.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
A certain number of farmers have
long recognized the superiority of
purebred animals over scrubs and
grades. Isy them no exact figures were
needed. There are many men, how
ever, who demand definite statements
of facts showing that 1t pays to raise
animals OF known blood lines. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture now has statements from a large
number of farmers which go to show
that the experience of nearly all of
more than 500 of these raisers Of pure
breds is in favor Of These animals as
profit makers.
Purcbreds Far Superior.
An analysis of the large number of
estimates made by these men shows
that they consider purebreds of all
kinds more than one-third better or
more efficient than common stock.
The difference seems to be most
marked in h case of dairy cattle, the
average dairy farmer in the list ques-
TONED considering that the COW of
pure breeding was 47.s per cent bet
ter than the common COW. The SUI
periority Of other kinds of farm stock,
according to the investigation, was as
follows: Poultry. 40.7 per cent
swine, $50; sheep. 37.S; horses, 37.2;
beef cattle, 1868. and goats, 36.s per
emf. The average superiority Of all
kinds of purebred stock over common
stock was given as 4O.4 per cent.
Cows n hens show up better than
other kinds Of farm animals probably
because 1t is easier to measure their
production and consequently easier to
Improve them. A New England dairy
man attributes his increased returns
from purebred dairy cows to the fact
that more attention is paid to testing
and feeding. Consequently there Is
more wedding out of the poorer cows.
which results In building up a better
herd" A Florida p%oultryman de-
scribed how by trapnesting his flock
he increased the annual egg produc-
ton per hen from 80 to 150. This
was accomplished by selection and
feeding without Introducing new blood.
How do purebreds excel ordinary

results are due largely to the fact that
