MAY Cut Corn Yields
By Over Cultiyating

Beating the. ground IN the tcorh
field to d pulp while cultivating
wastes work, damages the soil,
and may reduce corn yields, is
the claim made by agronomists
at Ohio State University. Grind
ing the surface to dust with till
lage tools is likely to cut the
amount of water which can get
into the ground during the sum-
mer rains and corn needs plenty
of water to make a 10o-bushel
crop.
The agronomists declare the
purpose of cultivating is to kill
weeds, and field tests indicate
stirring the soil does little other
good unless a dust layer on top
has been puddled by rain and
must be broken to allow water
to enter the soil In addition to
possible harm to the soil from
too much cultivating, the cultiva-
tor always cuts some corn roots
and that damage hinders plant
growth.
Most Ohio corn fields now are
cultivated with power tools and
the agronomists believe tractor
drawn cultivators should be
operated at moderate speeds.
Force generated by a fast moving
tractor can turn good, granular
seed bed into cornpacted layer
of soil that is not adapted for
production of big corn crops.
Most of the dark colored Ohio
soils retain their tilth better than
the lighter colored types. SO the
dark soils need little cultivating
except to destroy weeds. One
cultivation every two weeks on
dark soil usually is plenty of til
lage but more frequent use of
the cultivator may be required
on the light colored soils.
The agronomists say the action
OF the cultivator should be to lift
the soil, not to press it down.
Ohio agronomists have urged
Ohio farmers to use 2,4-D cauti-
ously in weed killing until more
field tests have been made to in
dicate the best ways of applying
the material. Some reports al
ready have been made of damage
done to Ohio corn in 1948 by
careless use of 2,4-D.

Building Up Soil Pays
On Any Type OF Farm

Records from three different
types of Ohio farms indicate to
agronomists at Ohio State Uni
versity that improving soil is
profitable on all classes of Ohio
farms. One of the three farms
has been owned by the same FAM
lily for more than 100 years but
the other two were taken over
by their present owners after the
land had taken a beating under
previous operating practices.
The Summit county farm of
Howard Call produces whole
milk, the>farm owned by John
Collins and Son is in Greene,
county and it rolls considerably,
and the Don Searfoss farm in Al
len county is flat enough to re-
qulre plenty of tile lines, The
basic soil improvement practices
on all three farms are use of
plenty of lime and fertilizer.
On the level acres of the Scar
foss farm, the cropland and the
pasture have received five tons of
lime per acre in two applications.
Two tons of lime per acre have
been applied to the Collins farm,
and lime applications on the Call
place started with five tons per
acre and more lime has been
used through the years so only
moderate amounts are needed
now.
Corn and grain receive liberal
applications of complete fertili-
ger on all three farms, and man
ure is used to the best advan-
tage. Meadows and pastures re-
celVe fertilizer when it's need is
indicated. Soil improvement costs
on the Call farm have averaged
$3.50 per acre for the past IL
years, the costs have been $500
per acre of cropland and pasture
on the Collins farm, and Don
! Searfoss has spent an average of
S4.32 per acre per year to i'm
prove soil on his farm.
Mr.. Searfoss got back more
than $3.50 for each dollar he
spent in boosting crop produc-
ton, the return on the Collins
land was nearly $6 for each 81
spent for lime and fertilizer, and
Mr.. Cab has obtained an IL per-
cent increase in amount of live
stock and livestock products sold
from his farm. ALI three farms
produce much better crop yields
than the average sold for their
counties, and the pastures on
those farms carry considerably
more livestock than the average
pasture in that area will feed.

lily Contest 1t doesn't make

lily Contest. 1t doesn't make
any difference whether the fam
lily owns, rents, or manages
the farm just SO long as they
live on it and operate it. There
is nothing to buy or sell. 1t
costs nothing to enter the con-
test. 1t cost nothing to win.
in addition to selecting Ohio's
most typical farm family there
will also be a contest between
the families of each county for
the title of their county's Most
Typical Farm Family and from
these county winners will come
the state winner. There will be
awards for each of the county
winners too. Each county win :
ner will receive a one-day trip
to the Ohio state fair with all
expenses paid making the
round trip in a brand new Ford
automobile. Merchandise prizes
for all county winners will be
announced later.
Anyone can nominate a FAM
lily for the contest. There are
absolutely no restrictions on
the family or the age of its
members.

Fellow Alaskans:
 It is a tradition in Alaska to Judge a man not by how much he talks but by what he accomplishes. have been your Highway Engin- ger and Chief of your Highway Patrol for one year now. My re- cord in that office is one that I am proud to acknowledge.
 When W. Leonard Smith, the Highway Engineer you elected in 1914. was taken seriously i'll, he requested me to take charge of his office and of his work. did so and was carrying on according to his instructions when MT. Smiths illness proved fatal, was then ap- pointed by the Governor of Alaska to continue in that post. Early this year I announced my candid acy for election as Territorial Highway Engineer and in the primary election in April defeated my only Democratic opponent by 737 votes (not "by the narrow margin of around 100 votes," as this man, who overnight switched from Democrat to Republican, Is claiming in his political advertise ments.)
 My first task as Territorial Highway Engineer was to carry out the commitments to various communities made by my predeces- sor; this I was in honor bound to do. With what moneys remained have constructed those roads and airfields which seemed most need ed and what dockage and moorfng facilities in the coastal commun- ities my budget would allow. If you elect me October 12, l pledge myself to serve the greatest num- Der of communities possible with the most careful use of pumic money.
 The golden dream of a second highway, one that would link Southeast Alaskan towns with the States, should remain a golden dream until such time as the pros pector, the Alaska miner and the

homesteader have been given the roads they need within the Terri tory in order to afford them the chance to make an honest living. Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg and Sitka all are on islands. This circumstance alone would neeessi- tate many miles of extremely ex- pensive road construction (much of which is in Canada) and ex- tensive ferry systems in order to bring the wandering tourist to the door of the Southeastern commun- ities; too large an enterprise for the Territory to handle at present and beyond the scope or authority i of the Highway Engineer and the Territorial Board of Road Con- nissioners. The road to h e States that We now have, inspired by Adolph Hitler, promoted by Hirohito and built by the U. s. Army. 1900 miles through Cannd- ian Territory, should serve Alaska we'll until that future date when we can really afford, in the light of our other road needs, to build toward the States.
 My thought on a program for the office of the Territorial High way Engineer in the years immed' iately ahead can be summarized as follows:
 ROADS Smaller settlements in Alaska should be linked with the main highways and thus with the larger towns. Our present pop ulation, to say nothing of the in crease we will experience in tn
 next few years, requires large numbers of secondary roads. Oni, by providing these roads can we build up our country and insure the sound development of Alaska. | AIRFIELDS You all know ! that Alaska is the most air-mindet region on the gloae. We need more and more landing fields through out the Territory for regular routes and for emergency landings These I pledge myself to con- struct.
