SIX OHIO MEN ABOVE 100-BUSHEL MARK . IN TEN-ACRE CORN TEST FOR THIS YEAR
'7lvr : , (By Associated Press) COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 11. Final reports from the ten acre corn contest show that six men are above the 100bushel mark this ypar. William F. Gllmore, Licking county, is high man with, a yield of 132.69 bushels, breaking the state record of 128.81 bushels, made last year. ' The five other men who made the club are Marvin Cox, Muskingum county, 108.88 bushels; Johnson Seed Farms, Williams county, 106.08 bushels; Ira C. Marshall. Hardin county, 105.71 bushels; John Gleason, Clinton county, 102.53 bushels, and Paul Cromley. Pickaway county, 100.22 bushels. The 100-Bushel Com club was started six years ago and now has mem
bers in 26 counties in the etate. They are scattered from Lake to Hamilton
counties, and from Williams county to
uama.
The average yield for all men com
peting for the last six years has been:
1917, seventy bushels; 1918, sixty-three
eighty-seven and fifty-seven hundred
bushels; 1920, the yinld wae 89.95; In
1921, It was 86.51 bushels, and In 1922,
the yield was 86.68 bushels. The aver
age yield of all corn grown in the state
in 1921, was 41 busfcele an acre.
Gilmore has been In the contest five years out of the six and has pro
duced a total yield of 5,176 bushels on the 50 acres. He Is the only man In
the contest to have the distinction of raising more than 100 bushels per
acre for three years In succession.
. His yields for 1920 and 1921 were
' 102.26 and 113.11, respectively.
A decrease of 41 per cent in the
total value of farm machinery prod
ucts sold in 1921, as compared with
the previous year. Is shown In United . States census department reports. The farmers' "64-cent dollar" 13 declared
to be the reason.
Fear that the green Japanese beetle, which is said to cover an area of six square miles, in New Jersey, will find
Its way into Ohio is expressed by
IDwight M. De Long, professor of en
tomology at Ohio State university.
The insect is carried in fruits and vegetables, and its presence is usually ; difficult to detect. It attacks all plant life, according to De Long; the beetles consume the foliage, and the larvae eat the roots. De Long asserted there is no known successful treatment Entomologists are working on a contact spray, he said, and until they find some other
control, they have placed a strict quarantine on the Infested areas.
It is said that the. beetle was imported in the soil around the roots of
a greenhouse plant, which came to
Riverton, N. J.
The beetles are said to eat arsenate of lead without Injury, and they avoid
plants where a stronger acid arsenate
is used, or wait until the rain washes
it off.
According to DeLong the best hope
for control of the insect lies in to-
porting another parasitic insect that
will devour the beetle. He said the government has two en
tomologists in Japan studying the natural surroundings, and that' they have shipped several thousand of the parasites to the United States," where they have been colonized in the infested
areas.
More potash will be used in Ohio soils this 'year than ever before, ac
cording to E. E. Barnes, soil special
ist at Ohio State university, because of the fact that the original supply
in the soil s beng exhausted.
Potash is recommended for truck
growers, particularly those with garden muck soils.

"The taste telle" what kind of vegetables sell most readily, says L. M. Montgomery, professor of vegetable gardening at Ohio State University. Gardeners don't take red tomatoes for sale in the vicinity around Cleveland; pink ones go big there, according to Montgomery.

back to wax beans. There are some vegetables, however,
he said, which are consumed by the public in large quantities in all parts of the country. Carroto are mentioned,
and it is pointed out that it was only a few years ago that the carrot was considered food only for horses and
cattle.
One of the. best schemes for storing potatoes through the winter is by use of the old-fashioned farmers' pit,' ac
cording to Wendell Paddock, professor of horticulture at Ohio State University. The ground on which the potatoes are to be stored should be sandy, or in such a condition that it will drain easily. Clean straw should be placed in circular manner and then levelled off. The potatoes are dumped on the straw in the form of a cone. More straw is placed on the pile of potatoes, an inch or two in thickness. Dirt then should be placed -on the straw, to a depth of about half an inch, and another layer of straw is added. Then an outer covering of dirt is put on to about two inches. An outlet should be made at the top of the cone for the air to c?rculate. Apples, Paddock said, may be stored in the same fashion.
