PLANT CORN FOR LARGEST YIELD

Nothing Gained by Seeding Before Conditions of Soil and Atmosphere Are Right.

NEITHER EXTREME DESIRABLE

Greatest Total Growth of Stalk Made From Planting In May or June Experiments of State Stations Corroborated. (Prepared br the United States Department cf Agriculture.) No (ruin is made In yield or maturity by planting com before conditions of soil nnd atmosphere are rijxht, in the opinion ot the United States Department of Agriculture. Corn growers in localities with a long season have observed that early and late plantings of the same variety usually show wide differences in growth and number of lays required to read maturity. In general, com which Is needed early requires a longer time to come up than that which is planted later. The plants also grow more slowly, are shorter, and bear their ears lower. These are commonly observed effects of the date of planting. Best Yields From Early Seeding. Studies recently have been made by the United States Department of Agriculture at the Arlington experimental farm near Washington, D. (, in order to obtain data which would supplement that obtained earlier at the various state experiment stations. Numerous experiments have been conducted by the state agricultural experiment sta-, tions to determine the influence of the different dates of planting on corn yields. The state experiments reviewed indicate that the best yields of grain may be expected from the early seeditigs and the most rapid development and greatest growth from the later seedings. Neither the extremely early nor the very late plantings are desirable. The department investigation? were directed more to a study of the effects upon growth and development than to determining the most desirable date of planting from the standpoint of yield. The results of these studies, which extended over a five-year period, are presented in Department Bulletin No. 1014, Effect of Date of Seeding on (termination. Growth, and Development of Corn, by E. B. Brown and II. S. Garrison, which may be had upon application to the department. The varieties of corn used in the experiments cover a wide range in the length of the growing season required. Tim data tabulated are limited to the characters that seem to have been consistently affected, although the points studied Included the rapidity of germination, the number of days from emergence to ripening, the height of stalks, the number of ears per plant, the average weight of ears, the average yield per plant, and the number of suckers. In all the experiments the germination of corn Increased in rapidity as the date of seeding occurred later. When sown early the short-season northern varieties came up sooner than the varieties from the central and southern states. When sown later the differences in this respect were not usually apparent. May or June Favored. The total growth of stalk was greatest from the seedings in June and

Development was more rapid in the later than in the earlier seedings. The number of ears per stalk, the size of the ear. and the amount of stickering bore no conKtent relation to the date of seeding. The pollenshedding period was longer in plants from the early seedings than in those from the later seedings. Seedings earlier than normal resulted in slight gains in the date of silking. These experiments corroborate The conclusions of the state experiment stations, that corn may be planted in the vicinity of Washington and oilier localities with a similar season, any time after May 1, without danger of the seed rotting. The best conditions of soil and atmosphere usually come between May 10 and May 'JO.

Kven the pungent and tear-starting qu::Iitis of horse-radish are not sufficient to discourage Insect enemies. In addition to two other ppecitie and two incidental tests preying upon tills plant, entomologists of the United States Department of Agriculture report a tliird specific enemy, known as the Kuropean horse-radish webworm and described in a bulletin of that title.

While favoring horse-radish, it is also known to attack turnip and cabbage, and after feeding on the lower surface of the leaves sometimes webs them together near the ground. When abundant, It attacks the stalks even down to the roots. It was first discovered in injurious numbers in Virginia, near the District of Columbia, In 1911), nnd occasional attacks have been noted in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. The moth of the species is rather a bright ocher yellow, with a wing spread of about 1 inch, peculiarly spotted. The eggs are deposited in compact masses containing from half a dozen to a score. They are a little brighter green than the leaf, and each egg is surrounded by an irregular ring of yellow spots. The webworm may be controlled by arsenicals and by hand-picking on horse-radish, and more readily on other crops by fall and spring plowing and frequent cultivation.

TEST SEEDS BEFORE SOWING

Of Big Advantage to Farmer to Determine Purity and Germination of Various Grains.

Whether the seed is for sale or for his own use on the farm, the farmer will find it to Ids advantage to test his seed, or have it tested, for purity and germination. In making a purity test, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, it Is customary to determine the percentage of pure seed, inert matter such as dirt, chaff, and broken seeds, and foreign seeds, including weed and other kinds. A sample is taken varying in weight from 1 to 100 grams or more (a teaspoon for the clovers and small-seeded grasses, a tablespoon for the grasses, and a considerably larger amount for cereal grains), depending upon the size of the seed being examined. For the germination test usually two lots of 1K) seeds each are placed on or between blotting paper, canton flannel, or such material, and kept in a room or chamber at a temperature of (JO degrees to SC) degrees F. for to US days, depending upon the kind of seed being tested. Samples for purity and germination tests may be sent to the seed laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington. D. C, or to the nearest branch seed laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C, or to the nearest branch seed laboratory located at Lafayette, Ind.; Columbia.

Wishing for sleep is a poor way to get it

A LITTLE wisdom in the daytime is a better assurance of rest than any amount of anxious wishing when nerves are a-jangle at night. What you do at noon often has more influence on sleep than what you want and hope for, at midnight. Coffee's drug element, caffeine, whips up the nerves, and when its use is continued there's usually a penalty which no amount of mental effort can avoid. The part of wisdom, as so many

thousands have found, 19 to turn away from nervestimulation and adopt rich, delicious Postum as the mealtime drink. Postum delights the taste, but brings no dis-
