Corn Pickers Do
Better Job If Husk
And Stalk Are Damp

When a farmer husks corn in the
old-fashioned way, by hand, he
wants it dry so that the ears will
break from the husk with quick
twist Of the wrist. But when he
husks with corn picker, he wants
the stalks and husks damp and
tough, so that they will not break
when the husks are pulled off the
ear by the husking rolls. This is the
reason that machine pickers often
husk cleaner in the early morning
than in the afternoon of a bright,
sunshiny autumn day.
In studies of corn-husking ma
chimes by the United States Bureau
of Agricultural Engineering and ag-
rieultural engineers at Iowa State
College, Ames, the most favorable
conditions for machine picking were
found after the corn was well ma
tured and after light rains had made
the stalks and husks damp and
tough but had not softened the
ground too much for tractor and
picker operation. On days in the
early part of November, when these
prevailed, field losses
were only 31k per cent of the yield
as compared with 10 percent or
more under unfavorable conditions.
In ordinary weather in parts of
The Corn Belt, there is not enough
difference in dampness of stalks at
iifferent times of day to make any
significant difference in field losses. /
The season for husking corn by ma
;hine begins as soon as the corn is
nature, says the Bureau. The length
If season may vary greatly from
year to year. From studies of ma J
corn. engineers be- {
ieve 1t advisable to plan to finish
by the middle of Novem-

Fertilizer Makes LeOumes
Better Nitrogen Factories

Legumes are natural nitrogen fac
tories-but their production may be
increased wit htbe use Of phosphor-
US and potash.
Many farmers grow legumes a.
green manure crops because they
collect nitrogen from the air and put
Il into the soil. Applications Of phos-
phorus and potash to legumes stim-
ulate their growth enabling them to
produce more nitrogen than II they
did not receive these fertilizer MA
terials. These are not wasted as they
are available for the next crop as
corn or cotton when the legumes
are plowed under and decay.
BY this method the farmer gains
the use Of three fertilizer materials
for other crops although he applied
only two
Phosphorus and potash applied to
legumes when grown as a green
manure crop help TO produce heay-
Ter yields Of corn and other crops
than If the same fertilizer is applied
directly to the crops, tests Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture show. In the South, fertilizer
mixtures Of 0-lO-4 and 0-8-4 applied
at the rate Of 400 pounds an acre
are generally satisfactory for in
creasing the growth of the Austrian
winter pea and other legumes
grown as n green manure crop pre-
ceding corn and cotton.

TAXATION NEVER
TAKES A DAY OFF

! "The. consumer in every class Is
having taxes charged against him on
almost every purchase Of necessities
and luxuries that he makes. When
he eats his bacon and eggs for
breakfast, he pays a processing tai,
] on the bacon and a higher price on
4 his eggs, because meat is SO dear
that numerous families are substi-
tuting eggs for beef and pork. When
ht lights a cigarette after breakfast,
be pays Federal and often state
faxes. When he drives to his work,
he pays Federal and state taxes on
his car, on his right to drive. on the
oil and on the gasoline that turns
over his motor. If he wears cotton
underclothes, sleeps between cotton
sheets, or If his wife wears a cotton
garment of any kind, he pays an
other processing tax. If he looks
back as he leaves his house, whether
ne owns it or not, he will see heavy
real-estate taxes that are passed on
to him, plus the cost of Federal
stamps for transferring it. If he has
city water, he pays water tax; II
he uses electric light, there is tax
OF his bill. If he goes to the movies
or the theatre or any kind Of
show, he pays an. amusement tax.
And all these taxes are just a be-
ginning of those that are visible and
invisible, city. county, state, and
Federal, that are in part or wholly
PASSED on to him. Whether he lives
in a tenement or a palace, whether
he is on relief or working, whether
he is a high-salaried executive or the
head of the business, he must carry
the load of these soak-the-poOr and
taxes. Taxation never
sleeps and never takes day of. -

said 1T will be the first adventure
for my new RED sweater"
Don't let any of the Bad Chaps
get it away from you," Nurse Jane
told him as he started to hop out of
his Hollow Stump Bungalow.
"Pooh II like to see the Bad
Chap who could take my red sweat
er off mel" boaSted Uncle Wiggily,
blowing out his chest like puff
fish down at the seashore. They
wouldn't dare"
We'll, be careful" advised the
muskrat lady, and Uncle Wiggily
said he would. He hoped over the
fields and through the woods and
soon he was far from his bungalow
looking for adventures.
Bad Chaps Plan Capture
It was about this time that the Fox
met the Bob Cat in the woods.
Il have news for you" mewed the
Bob Cat. Il hear Uncle Wiggily has
a new red sweater that Nurse Jane
knit for him. He is coming out to-
day to try it. We can easily see him,
dressed in red as he is, SO what do
you say to us trying to catch him."
It say let's do it!" yapped the Fox
The two Bad Chaps roved on
through the woods and all OF a
sudden, the Fox whispered:
There's Uncle Wiggily now. I see
his red sweater behind that bush.
Let's run up and jump on him!"
"Sure!" mewed the Bob Cat. Stink
ing up close to the pust, the two Bad
Chaps jumped at it with sharp
claws and open mouth. But Uncle
Wiggily wasn't there at all. What
the Fox and Bob Cat had seen were
just some red leaves on a dogWeed
bush Oh, how angry they were at
being fooled. And a little while af-
ter that Uncle Wiggily really hop
ped along.
He was close TO the dogwood bush
with red leaves. The Fox and the
Bob Cat looked right at the bunny
in his red sweater but at first they
thought it was only some more red
leaves. Not wanting to make a sec
ond mistake, they didn't chase after
him and the rabbit got safely home.
Too late to catch him, the Bad
Chaps saw him skipping along in
his red sweater and Oh, how mad
they were at being fooled again!
