PLANT CORN FOR LARGEST YIELDS

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 by th United Statu Department of Agriculture.) No j;a!n Is made in yield or maturity by planting corn before conditions of soil and atmosphere are rijrht, in the opinion of the United States Department of Agriculture. Corn growers in localities with a Ion? season have observed that early and late plantings of the same variety usually show wide differences in growth and number of days required to read maturity. In general, corn which Js seeded 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. C, in order to obtain lata which would supplement that obtained earlier at the various state experiment stations Numerous experiments hare been conducted by the state agricultural experiment stations 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 exacted from the early seedings 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 Investigations 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 Germination, 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. The 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 tho differences in this respect were not usually apparent.

Development was more rapid In the later than in the earlier seeding. The number f ears per stalk, the size of the ear, and the amount of suckering bore n consistent relation to the date of seeding. The pollensheddinc perid 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 other 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 Mav LU

HORSE-RADISH DOES NOT REPEL ENEMIES

Even the pungent and tear-startlng qualities of horse-radish are not sufficient to discourage insect enemies. In addition to two other ppecific and two incidental pests preying upon this plant, entomologists of the United States Department of Agriculture report a third specific enemy, known as the Kurofiean 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 1910, and occasional attacks have been noted in Massachusetts, NewYork, 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 rind It to his 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 tablesioon for the grasses, and a considerably larger amount for rereal grains), depending upon the size of the seed being examined. For the germination test usually two lots of 100 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 GO degrees to 80 degrees F. for 3 to J8 days, deciding 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 if 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 looitttJ at Lafayette, Ind.; Columbia.

I haven't been so happy In three months' "What has occasioned your happiness?" was asked. "When my mail came In an hour ago it brought,to me a coal bill, a bill from the grocer, a letter from my landlord raising ray rent, and a doctor's bill two years old. Also a notice that my taxes had not been paid and a gas and electric light bill." "It was enough to fairly crush one and I can't see how you can be happy." "Why, it is a very simple thing.

Still, It Must Be Admitted That Thief Had Logic of Matter on His Side. A man was charged in Glasgow with stealing a herring-barrel. After the charge had been proved the accuser addressed the magistrate: "'Deed, Sir IJailie, the man at the bar Is a great rogue; the stealing o' the barrel is nothing to some of his tricks. He stole my sign-board last week, and what does your honor think he did with It?".' "That would be hard for me to say," replied the magistrate. Veel, sir," said the witness, "I'll tell ye.

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

SSI fer ma

turbance to nerves or digestion. Even the little children can share in the enjoyment of Postum at any meal. It's better to anticipate warnings than to be driven by them. It's better to encourage and preserve sound nerves and complete health than to listen to the clock ticks at night and say, "I wish!" You can get Postum wherever good food or drink is sold and served. An order today may be the beginning, for you, of the great satisfaction and comfort which so many others have found in Postum. Your grocer has both forms: Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in the ajp by the addition of boiling water. Postnm Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being pre pared) made by boiling for 20 minutes.
