Corn Objects to
Too Much Water
Soil Should Be Well Drained
With Plenty Of Humus or
Plant Material.

Corn won't grow well If 1t has wet
feet.
This means, according to recent
bulletin issued by the New York Col
lege Of Agriculture, that soil needs to
be well drained, yet have plenty of
moisture An abundance for humus
or rotten plant material likewise,
seems an essential for successful
corn culture. Corn is likely to do we'll
In plowed-Over sod land. especially
where clover has been grown. Too
stiff clay soils are not advised for
corn.
Plant lie Heavy Feeder.
"Corn is heavy FEEDER" explains
r. NJ. Adams, author Of the bulletin.
ION some soils as much as ten or
twelve tons Of stable manure, together
with 800 pounds of fertilizer rich in
phosphoric acid, is used to each acre.
It would be interesting for you to fer
tilize one-half OF your plot at this rate
and the rest with one-half as much.
You can then determine whether the
increased yield on the part more heav-
lily fortified paid for the cost Of the
extra fertilizer.
I'm figuring the cost Of the extra
fertilizers you should charge only half
the value Of the manure against your
corn, since much fertility Is left In
the soil for later crops The CONNER
cial fertilizer may be charged at full
value, though on many soils, especial
" clayey ones, much of the plant food
remains more than one year in the
soil.
Fall Flowing Best.
Unless your soil tends to wash or
run together, it is usually best to
plow in the fall. There are several
good reasons for this: First, there is
more time to spare; second, plowed
land, unless very sandy, retains for
the use Of summer crops more of the
water from winter rains and SHOWS ;
third, organic material decays better
If plowed under; this is especially
Important IL sod land is used, as 1t
commonly is for corn; fourth, insects
are exposed to the winter weather and
many perish; this also Is especially
important in the case Of sod land,
which is likely to harbor many injuri-
GUS insects; fifth, most clay soils are
made more loose and mellow by ex-
posture to freezing and thawing.
"After blowing, the amount ofSfur-
ther preparation which you will need
to make depends upon the kind of
soil and the season. You must make
your seed bed loose enough so that corn
roots can readily penetrate it; yet
compact enough to retain moisture,
and you must keep it free from
weeds"
Professor Adams new bulletin is
entitled. "Corn Growing for Boys and
Girls" 1t is known as JB-8. While
it is intended especially for Junior
project workers, it will be Of value
and interest to anyone who grows
corn.

Flies Cause Worry

When the cows are freed from flies
they can devote all of their energy to
production, which is otherwise ma
terially decreased by the excitement
and worry caused by the flies II
screening cannot be done, spraying
with some cheap but effective fly re-
pellent should precede' the milking
process. Care should be taken, not
to get any of the spray into the milk
because of the disagreeable odor and
taste 1t will impart.

ability to produce large quantities of

from within our state, by growing out

WAY to Handle Insects

The rotation Of crops is an effective
way of handling many injurious In
sects. The growing of the same crop
year after year in the same land ena-
bles many insects which normally feed
ON that crop to develop and multiply.
On the other hand. good crop rota-
ton makes 1t very difficult for an In
sect to pass through its life stages
without being seriously disturbed and
it's food supply destroyed.

High Class Country Butter

A poor butter maker can make bet

butter maker can make from poor
cream A manufactured product is
only as good as the raw material from
which 1t is made. This being true, the
production of good, clean cream. free

Foretelling the Weather

The weather bureau says that the
forecasting Of weather for more than
few days in advance is attended with
great uncertainty. For this reason the
national weather bureaus In various
countries do not attempt detailed fore
casts Of the weather for more than
a week In advance. Beyond a week
the condition Of the weather cannot be
foretold according to reliable and
scientific principles.
