GROW 100 BUSHELS
OF CORN PER ACRE
STORY FROM OHIO COLLEGE
OF AGRICULTURE THAT IS
OF MUCH INTEREST.

How many farmers are growing
above 20 bushels of corn per acre:
How many can grow 100 bushels
to the acre? If others can do it why,
with brains, cannot you do it:
Here is a story from the Ohio Col
lege of Agriculture which will mt and
interest readers in many states. Go
yer won the victory many times IN
this champion corn growing.
Some soil will not grow 100 BUSH
els to the acre. Most acres will grow
more than they do the way the tarm-
er farms these acres. Sweet clover IS
rapidly becoming 1avor1te with
farmers. This college says that sweet
clover needs plenty OF limestone.
Most OF these tests were on III
acres of land, on which 100 or more
bushels had to be grown in order to
get into this champion class. One
mans l0-acre yield was fraction
over 1874 bushels per acre.
Here is a part OF the report as
made by the college:
For the past six years the average
corn yield in Ohio has been 40 bush
els per acre. During the same period
40 farmers in 20 different counties
have produced more than 1000 bush
els on 10 acres. A few OF these men
have exceeded 100 bushels per acre
in four years OF the six. 1t has been
done. Perhaps the means by which 1t
was accomplished will be OF use to
others who desire to raise their yields
of corn to higher level. The follow
ing is a summary of the more import
ant phases of the systems of soil
management followed.
Glover was the preceding crop on
two-thirds of the fields. One-half OF
the fields were MANFRED previous to
blowing for corn. Two-thirds of the
fields received commercial fertilizers
in amounts varying from 100 to 1000
pounds per acre. Half of them receiv-
ed acid phosphate alone. One-third
received manure with acid phosphate.
In all cases except one, where the
Yields have exceeded ia bushels, a
phosphoric acid and potash fertilizer
was used and in this case 80 tons of
manure were applied on the 10 acres"

Furs for Gentle Woman

When gentle woman about four years ago. adopted the
fashion of wearing furs 500 days in the year. she gave
the signal for the inauguration OF the most supendous
slaughter the world has ever known
In some instances, when gentle woman draped skin
about her shoulders, tribute TO style she sentenced
whole species TO extinction.
The figures appalling. The peltS OF fur-bearing
animals taken in 1919 1920 and 1921, numbered 9o745
437. The winter auctions of 1921 added enough more
to make the grand total of 106000000 Even this does
tell the whole story of ruthless boodettng that the
fashion demanded because the auction sales represented
only proportion of the animals destroyed.
The sea-oter, whose fur is the most beautiful known
to the trade is close to extinction. few years ago II
crowded its habitat Today the few that remain are
being given tardy and probably ineffective, protection
In three years only rs of these animals gave pelts
to the market trappers could secure more.

being swept clean of furbearing mammals at the present
time. The finer animals already near extermna-

their way to market from 1910 to 1921. inclusive Musk
rat skins worthless, brought $3.50 apiece in 1920
Some 100000 skunks and 100000 ermine gave up
their lives and hides in the three years mentioned in
order that might be decorated. The peak of the

Mr. Taft by inference at least drew parallel between
Chases predcament and his He told how "the
radical republicans had attacked Chases bench and de-
cared that the people glad that the guarantees
of personal liberty maintained against the partisan
zeal of the then majority
