COOPERATIVE FERTILIZER TESTS ON CORN Some Timely Suggestions From Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station Following is a copy of Bulletin No. 186, issued by Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station April 13, regarding fertilizing for corn, which should interest some of our readers: Does it pay to use commercial fertilizer on corn? Do different soils require different kinds of fertilizer? What analysis is best as a general rule? What is the best way to apply it? How much does it pay to use? Do you want to know the answers to these questions? The com fertilizer experiments which are reported in Bulletin No. 155, “Results of Cooperative Fertilizer Tests on Clay and Loam Soils,” answer part of them, but furnish no information upon two important points: the amount of fertilizer and the method of application best suited for corn. There is a pressing demand for this information, but it is not available and can be obtained only by conducting a large number of experiments. The importance of this line of experimental work is evident, and every farmer who can do so is urged to cooperate and get others to do the same. Follow directions exactly so that all experiments will be comparable. DIRECTIONS FOR CONDUCTING EXPERIMENT Select a uniform strip of land 40 rows wide across your corn field. Count four rows for each plat—lo plats in all —and leave numbers 1, 4, 6 and 10 unfertilized as checks. This precaution is essential. Unless you have tried it you will be surprised at the variation in yield in a short distance. Apply whatever fertilizer you may be using according to the following plan. Keep a record of the exact composition of the fertilizer as shown by the guarantee tag, or better still, keep a tag to send in with your report. Harvest the plats separately, calculate the size of each plat, and report the yield, in bushels to the acre, to the Soils and Crops Department. We will tabulate the reports and publish as soon as we have sufficient data. Plat 1. Unfertilized. Plat 2. Drill in the row with fertilizer attachment 100 pounds fertilizer to the acre. Plat 3; Drill in the row with fertilizer attachment 200 pounds fertilizer to the acre. Plat 4. Unfertilized. Plat 5. Drill in the row with fertilizer attachment 100 pounds fertilizer to the acre and broadcast 200 pounds to the acre. Plat 6. Broadcast 300 pounds of fertilizer to the acre. Plat 7. Unfertilized. Plat 8. Check near hill 100 lbs. of fertilizer to the acre. Plat 9. Check near hill 100 lbs. of fertilizer to the acre and broadcast 200 pounds to the acre. Plat 10. Unfertilized. Note—ln plats 2, 3 and 5, let the fertilizer drill continuously even though the corn is checked. Th’e broadcast application may be sowed on top by hand and harrowed in or drilled with fertilizer wheat drill, as is most convenient. The latter method is preferable. In either case, plant the corn first so that the com rows may serve to locate the plat exactly. Plats 8, 9 and 10 will have to be omitted in the case of drilled com. Cooperate in this state-wide test If you possibly can. Get your neighbors to make the same test so that you will have doubly valuable in-

formation for your own locality. Notify us by postal card when you get the experiment started so that we may file your name for a report blank which will be sent you in the faU. Additional copies of “Directions for Conducting Experiment” will be furnished upon request. Address all correspondence about this experiment to J. B. Abbott, Experiment Station, LaFayette, Ind. Arthur Gross, Director Indiana Apple Show. The second Indiana Apple Show will be held early in November, 1912. This show is not dominated by real estate corporations having land to sell, but is held under the auspices of one of the oldest horticultural organizations in the middle west—the Indiana Horticultural Society. $5,000 in premiums is to be distributed this year. Your chances to exhibit are numerous and you should see that your name is placed on the Apple Show mailing list to receive the premium list just as soon as it is out. If you have only one tree there is a class for you; if you have 1,000 acres there is a class for you; if you are a county organization there is a class for you, in fact there is a place for everybody. The classes will probably be as follows: 1. Bushel Box Class. 2. Tray Class. 3. Plate Class. 4. Public Institution Class. 5. County Organization Class. 6. Individual Orchard Class. 7. Special Classes. There will be special classes too numerous to mention. Write for the premium list to C. G. Woodbury, Secretary, Lafayette, Ind., and pick out the classes that you are going to save fruit for. 1 Had His Leg Broken. William Snavely, the coal dealer, had the small bone in his leg broken last Wednesday night when he was thrown out of the Elmer Strieby auto on his way home from Goshen. The machine went into a washout and threw him up against the top and then out on the opposite side of the machine. His leg was put in a plaster cast the next day and he has been able to get around on crutches. Although it was an unfortunate accident he feels very thankful that he escaped as well off as he did. An Important Decision. A ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission last week, makes it possible for a passenger to get off a train before reaching the destination point of his ticket and collect from the railroad for the unused portion of the ticket.

They say the wheat crop in that part of the state will be the poorest in several years. Emanual C. Miller, a veteran of the Mexican and civil wars, an old resident of Wolfe Lake since 1853, died at his home at noon last Thursday of senility.

The young men were in a canoe near Howard park when Clemens lost his hat. In attempting to reregain it, the canoe up set and the men were thrown into the water.
