ern Minnesota in several of the heavy
corn producing counties. The results
Of these trials carried on over a per-
iod of three or more years showed
that, late, rough, heavy cared types
did not yield any more dry corn than
the smooth types such as Minnesota
13 and Rustler. Late rough types
carry much moisture, more starch at
harvest time, and are chaffy when
dry, if they get dry. Such corn fire.
quently molds in the crib before she'll
ing and of course lowers the grade
and quality.
Farmers who like to grow Muir
dock, Silver King, Golden, Jewell, and
varieties of similar type must have
fertile, quick, active soil that will
allow the corn to mature. Even thin
and smooth type of corn should be
selected for seed. Smooth types with
early maturity will generally yield
more.
The purpose of this article is not
to urge farmers to change varieties
except where the present variety is
not best adapted to the local farm.
We repeat that we have gone too far
toward deep dentation, deep kernels,
large heavy ears, and that we should
now begin to fit the variety or strain
to the farm whether it be Murdoch,
Silver King, Minnesota No. IL, Rust
Ter White Dent, or other variety.
Much is being said and written con-
corning various crosses and hybrids
in corn production. 1t is well to bear
in mind that there is very little or
nothing gained by making promiscu-
Gus crosses. Only those crosses or
double crosses that have been thor
oughly tested and have a performance
record should be considered. Farmers
should be very cautious about buying
so-called cross bred seed corn, unless
the same can be traced to definitely
known lines. 1t is very dangerous to
assume that all cross bred corn is SUI
perior Some of it may be much more
undesirable than commonly accepted
varieties. A double cross should be
planted one year, that is, double
crossed seed should be purchased
each year.
A variety of corn that will get ripe
in season, produce high yield of
sound, mature bright corn is the one
that should be grown.

Selection of Corn
Varieties Highly I'm
portant, Says Grim
Strain Should Fit the Farm it is
Chosen for, Declares Ex-
tension Specialist
By Ralph F. Grim
Crop Extension Specialist

When one buys a new machine,
equipment or livestock for the farm
due consideration should be given as
TO how the purchase will fit the farm
enterprise and aid in increasing the
farm income. One may select breed
of livestock because of his own per-
sonal choice. A machine may be pur-
chased because of some desirable or
Grafton or special equipment.
Selection in the use Of corn variet-
les or types is very important Farms
vary greatly in fertility and condi-
tions even in the same county or sec
ton. 1t would seem very unwise to
be continually changing varieties
from year to year as is frequently
done. Seed corn is frequently pur-
chased without much information as
to where it was grown. A grower
on fertile, sandy loan soil located
on a river bottom can produce
large, deep, rough corn and have it
mature while his neighbor on high
ground can not possibly have the
same corn mature.
BY an adopted strain or variety we
mean one that will mature ahead of
a killing freeze and produce the larg-
est amount of sound hard, bright
corn at harvest time For southern
Minnesota corn should be out of dan
ger of killing frost by September
10 or IL. Minnesota corn growers
have been continually getting later
maturing types and varieties. 1t
would seem that it is about time to
stop and consider how far we can go
in this direction without causing a
great loss in the quality of our corn.
Profit in corn production is very
closely associated in quality. 1t is
very hard to get high quality and
soundness in late, rough types. In
there is definite saving to earlier
types and strains Immediately sue
ceeding a poor corn year. Many in
stances can be cited where farmers
have changed from late, rough type
of Minnesota No. - and Rustler
White varieties.
We have gone too far afield on
large rough varieties and types.
Farmers are interested in harvesting
bushels of sound mature corn and not
bushels of water. The problem of
storing corn with high percentage
of water is one that can not be
handled satisfactorily on any farm,
The cost of getting excessive mois-
ture out of corn becomes altogether
too high.

LEAFHOPPER CAUSES
ALFALFA "YELLOWS"

To the activities of the common po-
tato leafhopper may now be ascribed
no only the familiar hopper burn"
of potato plants, but also a very
common and destructive disease of
alfalfa known as alfalfa yellow top"
or "yellows." The above explanation
by A. A. Granovsky of the division of
entomology at University Farm clears
up a mystery concerning the origin Of
alfalfa "yellows" which has puzzled
farmers and scientists for more than
20 years.
The relationship between leafhop-
pers and alfalfa "yellows" was de-
termined by Mr.. Granovsky and his
associates at the Wisconsin agricul-
tural experiment station where he
was employed until recently. Obser-
vations and experiments both in
greenhouse and field showed beyond
doubt the leafhopper known sci
entifically as "Empoasca fabae" is re-
sponsible for the alfalfa disease. The
damage is started when the hopper
punctures the alfalfa leaf to suck out
the juice.
Yellow spots soon form around
these punctures which spread grad
ually until the entire leaf turns yell
low, very often having purplish or
bronzed edges. New growth of the
entire plant becomes much stunted.
The new internods of the plants in
tested with leafhoppers are very
short and the new leaves as rule
are only about one-fourth normal
size. This retardation of growth
makes the disease of great import
ance economically since it frequently
reduces yield by two-thirds. This in
jury by leafhoppers is also known to
weaken the root system of the alfalfa
plants, and so is believed to be an
important factor in winter killing.
Not many of even the best alfalfa
growers realize that this trouble is
traceable to the leafhopper. 1t is
usually attributed ito many different
causes, especially drought and poor
soil. These factors, Mr.. Granovsky
says, are responsible for poor growth
of the plants, but not to any great
extent for the yellowing of alfalfa
fields.
During the coming summer at the
Minnesota station, Mr.. Granovsky
plans to make further study Of the
effect of the leafhopper injury on
winter killing, as well as to attempt
to work out practical control meas
ures. 1t has been found that spray
ing alfalfa with combination 4-4-50
bordeaux MIXTURE and nicotine sui
plate will keep the insects in check
and prevent following, but this meth
cd is only practicable for small areas
such as seed plots. Mr.. Granovsky
believes, however, that cultural meth
DDS for reducing the numbers Of the
hoppers can be worked out which will
be practicable for use on large areas
of alfalfa grown for hay.

CANNING Is GOOD WAY
TO USE CHEAP CHICKEN

With chickens bringing low prices
on the market, canning them for
home use is suggested by the foods
section of the home economics divi-
sion at University Farm. This idea
should recommend itself to flock own
ers especially for utilizing old birds
and cockerels. Directions for can
ming chicken are outlined in the fol-
lowing paragraphs.
Kill the chickens at least six hours
in advance so that all animal heat
will be expelled. Prepare the chick
en- for canning as for ordinary cook
ing. The white meat may be cut
from the breasts Of large birds to
facilitate packing. Gizzards, ivers,
and hearts may be included with the
other parts or packed separately.
The chicken may be canned in two
separate packs, if desired, one includ-
ing the better pieces such as the
drum sticks, thighs, breasts, and
wings, and the other comprising the
less desirable parts such as wing
tips, necks, and other bony pieces,
which can be put into separate jars
for soup, stew, or creamed chicken.
Use one level teaspoon of salt for
each quart jar. Liquid is not nee
essary, but water or broth may be
added to cover meat if desired. Part
tally seal the jars and process in a
pressure cooker at Is pounds pres
sure or $50 degrees Fahrenheit for
60 minutes. Allow cooker to cool to
zero (no pressure) before opening.
Remove jars, seal Immediately and
let cool to room temperature. Can
ming by the water bath method is not
recommended either by the home
economics division at University
Farm or by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. However,
persons who have used this method
for canning other meats may adapt
it to chicken utilizing the above sug-
gestions or preparation.
Chicken may be Drowned slightly
before packing, or put into the jars
cold and raw. Browning, however,
seems to give an improved flavor.

BILLINGS SAYS TURKS
NEED WET MASH NOW

Turkeys that are being fattened
rapidly for market should be given q
crumbly wet mash each morning
or moon, says DIR. w. A. Billings,
turkey specialist, University Farm.
This wet mash can be made by simp-
ly wetting the regular mash with
water or milk. The wet mash may
be fed in an ordinary V-shaped hog
trough, and enough should be fed SO
that the birds will get a good fill,
but will not be over fed. The best
birds should be gaining about two
pounds a week from now on, DR..
Billings says, with the average gain
about pound and half.
Regarding the regular mash, DR..
Billings advises giving the. birds
plenty of it, and being sure that they
have adequate hopper room. Where
corn is not available, or where it is
too high-priced, barley makes an ex-
cellent substitute. Equal parts of
wheat, oats and barley may be
ground fine and mixed with similar

ration, but know of fiocks raised on
it in which the toms tipped the scales
at 18 pounds when little over four
months of age"
