Read Corn Plant To
Determine Soil Needs

The corn plant writes an order
for food when there is a short
age in the soil, and it writes in
%colors. G. m. Hoffer, pathologist
of the United States Department
of Agriculture, cooperating with
the Purdue Agricultural Expert
ment Station, has solved the Sc
cret code in which the food wants
are written. His method cam be
used in the field and requires but
a few minutes.
The test is made during the lat
ter part of the growing season,
after the ears are well developed.
A stalk is cut and split open
lengthwise. A solution of sulphur
ic acid containing a few drops of
what the chemists call "diphenyl-
anime" is applied to the cut sur
face of the stalk. If the plant has
had sufficient nitrogen the tissues
will turn blue. If the plant has
been starved for this food the It's
sues will be of a yellow-green
A lack of potassium in the soil
nay be detected by examining
he tissues at the nodes or joints
If the stalk. If the tissues turn
ed when a solution of potassium
;hiocyanate is applied the soil
reeds potassium. The amount of
ed color indicates the relative
mount available.
In soils found to be acid in re-
understood or stunted
,lants indicate the need of phos-
,hates, providing climatic condi-
ions were normal during the sea-
on. On such soils both lime and
,hosphates can be proftably used.
Using these means of determ-
ming the needs of the cor plant,
/ field survey was conducted in
several states of the corr belt
asst fall. According to the results
many fields in southern Illinois,
indiana, and Ohio do not carry
.dequate supplies of available po-
assium for corn. Fields differed
narkedly in their relative supplies
# nutrients, and in many cases
he effects Of growing corn con-
inuously was shown by a def
:iency of either nitrates Or po-
assium.
The fact that the specific needs
f the corn plant can be detected
n this manner, says Mr.. Hoffer,
hould make the method of great
ractical value.

THE SPOILED CHILD
Mary e. Underwood

My boy would have been hope
lessly spoiled had 1 allowed either
grandmother to do as she wished.
Both objected if I permitted my
baby to cry. Later on, they COM
plimented me because he was un-
spoiled, healthy and lovable.
A naturally attractive child may
become unlikable through the ne
glect of his parents to direct the
small acts of childhood. The child
is not to blame. The moulding of
every baby boy and girl is very
much in the hands of the parents at
the start. If we realize this. it is
not difficult to understand how i'm
portant a factor training in the
right direction can become.
One often hears some mother re-
lating to a friend a cute remark
made by her child or telling of
some act while the child listens in
tently even smiling with self-sat-
isfaction at this repetition. He is
impressed, and he soon thinks his
smart" sayings and acts are cute
and begins to realize that they are
the means by which he gets notice.
Then he loses the sweet, innocent
ways that belong to a child and be-
comes self-conscious.
One little boy I know is giving
the teachers in school a trouble
some time, and the mother declares
she is unable to prevent it. When
ne was baby he was bright. and
attractive, initiating naturally little
things his people did. If he heard
slang expression he repeated it
much to the amusement of his au-
dience. They led him on and en-
tertained friends by showing him
Off. Now they are suffering; the
child is not wanted anywhere.
Children should be ENCOURAGED to
think and act for themselves and,
to a certain extent, by themselves;
1t is surprising how quickly they
pick up manners and customs by
observation. After a child has be-
gun to toddle about, there ought to
be very little need to amuse him.
1t is often revelation to grown
people to find how good a child can
be If left alone, and indeed he
should be accustomed early to be-
ing alone at intervals.
We often forget that a child has
his own fancies. The one thing it
is necessary to provide is some
thing to do.
A little child loves to feel busy.
to be occupied as he sees older peO-
pie occupied, and he cannot always
get this feeling with factory-made
toys. He should be encouraged to
make some of his playthings out of
cardboard, wood or paper. He can
quite easily make his own picture
books. Very often a child will
need to be started in an occupation
or game and then should be left to
manage the rest for himself.
We should try to think as the
child thinks. This will help greatly
in solving many perplexing prob
lens. To laugh at or ridicule a
