Forty-eight of the ninety-two elements are known to exist in the sun. Farm lands in Holland are so valuable that there are no idle, uncultivated farms. A study made in California showed that only one son in ten follows his father’s career. The first gamekeeper’s school in this country has been established in Hunterdon county, New Jersey. __

Airplanes in the United States flew more than 70,000,000 miles last year. The historic towers on the walls of Rome are being converted into studios for artists. There are no railroads in Iceland. A new building in London is made of polished black granite. The Field Museum of History possesses the largest model of the moon ever made, 19 foet in diameter.

Give Com Water for High Yields Need of Fertile Soil and Use of Legumes in Rotation Are Factors. No one ever saw a good yield ol corn on poor land nor during a dry season, unless the crop was irrii gated. Large amounts of water artessential to heavy corn production per acre. “Much interest has been created through North Carolina by our state mer-r that the average n>te yield of 1 corn should be at least 50 nusheis.” I says G. M. Garren, cereal agronomist at the North Carolina State college. “We have had a number of letters asking how to obtain such an average yield. In answering these, attention has been called to the need of a fertile soil, the use of legumes in rotation, liberal fertilization and other necessary factors. Need for Moisture. “It is also essential that we keep In mind the need for moisture in the soil. Some investigator has found that 300 pounds of water is needed by the corn plant for every pound of dry matter produced. This Includes the water evaporated through the soil as well as that transplanted through the leaves.” Therefore, it is Important, says Mr. Garren, that the corn grower conserve the moisture in the soil. This is the only kind that benefits the growing plant. The grower may increase the storage capacity of the soil by increasing its humus content, apd he may conserve the moisture by keeping a mulch constantly on the surface. This mulch must be restored wheheyer destroyed, and certainly after every rain. Three inches Is a fair depth for cultivation, and any implement that will produce the effect of a drag harrow may be used for the cultivations. For best results, level ' cultivation should be. given except in a very wet season. Then drainage be- : comes a problem. Conserve Moisture. Those who wish to grow 50 bushels of corn per acre must give close attention to the conservation of soil moisture. In many cases, this will call for a change of practice and the ■ securing of more suitable implements for cultivation. Select Turkey Breeders for Next Season’s Crop Before picking the Thanksgiving birds select the breeders for next year. Choose those birds which show good growth and development. The shanks should be heavy and fat and the legs well-set under the birds. A knockkneed condition reveals lack of vigor. Crooked keel bones are objectionable. They may be caused by poor feeding or they may be the result of breeding If possible, do not keep birds with crooked keel bones for breeding purposes. In the colored varieties, turkey growers prefer birds with good | color, but health and vigor are more : Jmportaut lhan color. | *; 3&”- “7T Application of Orchard Sprays to Save Fruit Nearly everyone has read and apI predated the truthfulness of this terse sentence —“Save the Sufface and Save all.” This statement may 1 be applied with equal effect and force to the application of orchard sprays. ; Like the paint on buildings and fences. , sprays, when applied to the surface i of the fruit and foliage at intervals I of from twelve to fourteen days up ! until five or six weeks of harvest ■ time, will save the surface from injury by insects and disease and may prove to be the best insurance against failure. Around the Farm X ❖.. . . r Put grease instead of oil on the farm machines when you store them. It is better because it stays put. * * • Whoever buys and plants cheap seeds needs no sermon on gambling—he is sure to learn by loss. * • • It’s easy to make money as a farm- ■ er. You just work hard for 20 years ‘ and then sell out to a golf club. Os course alfalfa is not grown for its fragrance and beauty, but these qualities should not be entirely overlooked. -« * • Half of the failures in getting windbreak trees to grow and thrive can be laid directly to faulty preparation of the soil. Commercial fertilizers applied according to recommendations will usually give paying increases in earliness, quality and yield. • * * Where trees have been entirely girdled and the bark eaten down through the cambium layer to the wood below, there is not much chance in saving them. • * * In seasons of late corn or in case of early frosts, ensiled corn may save the entire crop, where, under other conditions, the loss would be very heavy. Pavement design was not given much thought ten years ago. Today it is one of the broadest fields of research, resulting in much better roads than in previous years. * * * Peach leaf curl is easy to control when timely and thorough methods are ' employed and the prosperous grower . cannot afford to fail in providing his f orchard with an abundance of healthy > foliage. • * « Bridge-grafting the injured places on ! trees girdled by mice will prevent loss of the trees. Use of plenty of scions provide greater food-carrying capacity, i say Pennsylvania State college fruit specialists.
