MUCH METAL IN HUMAN BODY

Scientists Have Found Arsenic

Many curious substances are found
In the human body. and 1t has been
discovered that, among other things, 1t
contains large quantity of metals OF
various kinds.
Some years ago famous chemist
announced that he had found iodine In
the thyroid gland, and this led scien-
lists to believe that other equally ln-
expected elements may find their way
into the human organs through some
exceptional circumstances.
They discovered that there was iron
and In some cases copper In the blood
and that copper and other heavy met.
ais occurred in considerable quantities
in the liver Some scientists have re-
ported that they have found even ar
senlc In small quantities.
Bromne is found In the nerves and
muscles of some animals. as well as
men, but there is never more than one
part in a hundred thousand. Although
bromine and iodine are very similar In
their chemical behavior, they are not
found In the same parts Of the body

INCUBATION OF SOY BEANS
When sown on Land Not Previously

to Use Culture.

Natural inoculatlon now occurs
quite generally throughout much Of
the area where soy beans are grown
extensively. When sown on land
which has not been previously planted
to this crop, however. It Is advisable
to lnoculate with the proper culture.
InoculatIon may be obtained. either
through the use of a pure culture. \

cured from the United States Depart

by the use Of inoculated soil from a
field where soy bean plants have pre-

oculated soil may be drilled in at the
time of seeding, using the fertilizer
box. or by thoroughly mixing gal
Ion OF the soil to bushel of seed.

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
lngs.
The number of ears per stalk. the
size of the ear, and the amount of
suckeIing 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 /. without DANCER OF

Of soil and atmosphere usually come
between May 10 and May 20.

No gain IL 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,
aud 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. ID. 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
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
on termination, Growth. and Develop
ment of Corn, by Il. Il. Brown and
IL. 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 datu tabulated are limited to the
characters that seem TO have been
consistently affected. although the
points studied included the rapldlty
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-
.ion 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.

ing supplied to fill In the time. Thus
an added burden for the maintenance
Of labor would have to be borne by
the other enterprises.
The fact that the hogs or the corn
crop bring the most net money during
the season is no reason for assuming
that all the activities of the farm in
the future should be devoted solely to
hogs or corn. 1t may be that the keep
Ing of cows Is partly responsible for
making hogs so profitable, or that the
growing Of wheat, clover, or other
crops In rotation with corn makes the
latter crop much more profitable than
1t would have been II grown alone.
Similar conditions will be met with
on all farms and, therefore, no sudden
changes should be mnde on the basis
OF what u single years accounts may
Indicate. All angles OF the enterprise
should be taken into consideration.

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. II was first
discovered In Injurious numbers in yir'
ginia, near the District of Columbia,
In 1910. and occasional attacks have
been noted In Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. The
moth of the species Is rather bright

eggs are deposited in compact masses
containing from half dozen to a
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-radlsh, and more readily on
other crops by fall and spring plow-
ing and frequent cultivation.
