Let Corn Suckers Grow

Do not remove the suckers from
corn plants. These suckers or till
ers are essentially the same as

suckers probably dates back to the
time when there was a widespread
belief that these suckers grew at
the expense of plant foods in the
main stalk. That such is not the
case is evidenced by lower yields
which result when the suckers are
removed, states G. Fl. Struggled of

Losses by Erosion
Affect Many Crops
Soil Waste Reflected in
Lower Yields.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrlculture.-WNU Service.
Lower crop yields per acre, with
resulting higher production costs,
are among the chief dangers of land
erosion. Despite the fact that this
country is letting its soil waste
away faster than any other nation,
there is little threat Of an imme-
date land shortage. There is dan
ger, however, in land reaching the
point where farmers cannot gain
a respectable living from it.
In the face of improved methods
and machinery, improved varieties
and increased use of fertilizers, av-
erage yields of some crops have
dropped. The average yield of cot
ton for the ten-year period 1S71-1SS0
was 1854 pounds per acre, COM
pared with 1929 pounds for the pc
riod 1921-1930, reduction that can
not be charged entirely to insects
or the use Of marginal land. The
average yield of corn for the ten
year period 1S71-1SS0 was 2704
bushels per acre, while from 1921 to
1880 the yield was 2613 bushels per
acre. That the yield of corn has
declined in spite of all the i'm
provement in growing the crop must
have some relation to eroded land,
since the crop has not spread out
extensively into dry regions and
has not been devastated by insects
or disease.
Erosion is being checked in many
parts of the United States through
terracing, sodding, and similar prac-
tices. Work has shown that eXces-
sive erosion can be controlled.
