Country Flavor
by HGYdn S. Pearson

afternoon, he wondered whether
hoeing and thinning turnips
was better or worse than shock
ing corn.
Any job that requires repetitious
bending and Strengthening grows
monotonous and firing. In digging
potatoes, for example, man keeps
bent over; but in shocking corn one
bends down, cuts an armful of
stalks, straightens up and carries a
load to the spot where the shock
will stand. Most men prefer to make
four sizable armfuls into one shock,
with the bases of the stalks spread
out to give firm foundation.
Around the upper middle, one used
twine or a strip of hemlock bark to
tie the four sections tightly together.
Shocking corn is farm task of
yesteryear on most farms. Today
the process of growing the grain is
mechanical, and because of it, we
have food for man and his animals,
and corn by-products for increasing
commercial uses. But there are men
who look out office and factory
windows these cool, bright October
days and remember the years wher
they shocked the corn.

SHOCKING CORN

ONE of the socio-economic phen-
~ omena of recent years is the
casual acceptance of terms involving
millions and billions. The national
debt apparently bothers few; high
way bond issue in many millions is
taken for granted; and corn crop
of three billion bushels is simply
another statistic to most citizens
Time was, not more than a half
century ago, when a farmer with q
few acres of field corn felt he haC
real job ahead when it came time
to shock it. Today, modern science
makes it possible to plant, cultivate
harvest and shell corn by machinery
In the 1900-10 era, many farm
lads knew what the job would
be in October when they reach
ed home from district school.
Shocking corn wasn't the worst
Job on the farm; certainly it was
better than cleaning calf pens.
But only one who has shocked
corn appreciates that it is mon
otonous work. AS boy ponder

worked along on an autumn

Humus important:
In BUILDING Soil

Peatmoss is the most readily
available form Of humos to add
to the soil at the time Of prepa-
ration. Compost is just as good
but few gardeners have suficient
materials from which to make
all Of the compost needed. Saw
dust is a fairly good substitute;
chopped hay is another.
Humus is needed to loosen the
soil. increase its water holding
capacity and 1t will help keep the
soil from crusting. Much of the
commercial humus is too finely
ground for our needs.
Coarse material helps to i'm
prove the physical character Of
our soils.
Don't wait for your compost
to decompose to the fine particles
that are offered commercially.

roots on the tops Of the corms
and so need to be covered. How
ever, do not cover the corms
until the new shoots are well
started. The tuberous rooted
begonia will Withstand early

best in a cool, moist situation

festation. Always give three con-
secutive applications at 5-to-l0
day intervals, the hotter the
weather the shorter the interval.
None Of these materials will kill
nymphs or eggs. only the adults.
That is the reason three applica-
tons are necessary to clean up
an infestation. This applies to
all Of the sucking insects
aphids, thrips, mites and lacefiy.
Prune Out Rose Cankers
The small yellow leaves on a
rose cane at this season are
likely to indicate stem canker or
brown canker on that particular
cane. The canker starts out as a
small, oval. chocolate colored
area. It soon girdles the stem
and cuts of the fiow Of sap and
the cane dies. Remove it, cut
ting an inch or so below the in
fected area. If the cut is made
in infected tissue the pruning
shears should be sterilized before
making another cut as the. dis
ease may be spread. Canker on
roses has been unusually preva-
lent in the Washington area this
year. The important thing is to
Iprune out and burn all infected
wood.
Plant Snap Beans
A continuous succession Of
paintings of snap beans is nee
essary to maintain a supply OF
this vegetable throughout the
season. If one plants the newer,
more disease-resistant varieties,
such as Wade and Topcrop, the
interval between paintings will
be much shorter than of the
older varieties because these new
varieties mature their crops in
a very short period Of time.

begonias. which bring such bril-
liant colors to shady situations
