DISEASE-FREE SEED CORN YIELDS BETTER/ . ! Series of Tests Carried Out by e Plant Specialists. Increase of 10 to 30 Per Cent Obtaifed Over Kernels Infected by Harm- ful Organisms—How -In. fection Is Indicated. Seed corn that gave 100 per cent ger- mination but. showed infection by harmtul™ organisms was matched against corn that showed no infec- ition_in a series of tests carried out; / by plant specialists of the United| | States Department of Agriculture inj co-operation with theé Indiana experi-! ment station. The disense-free seed | igave an increased yfeld of ten to thirty | ‘per cent above its competitor. i ' Further results of the test seemed to prove that when corn was planted too thickly in hill or drill row it was| '1nore susceptibld to disease than when |; ‘hetter space was given it. In a sin: ‘flar test at Bloomingtop, IIl, the dis: -ease-free seed gave an increase of 23 per cent over the other corn, which was selected for high germination | 1s! 4t 5t Fi Ici t i iDrying Seed Corn for Next Year’s Crop J only. ,0.01 to 1.5 tons in favor of the seed by ‘Antonin P lon the fiftieth founding of the French Republic.

Apiary in Big City. ~ It seemhs 4 little odd to think of domlciling bees in a great city, yet there has been discovered in New York a man who successfully attempt- ed this,. It was this man's love for natural history and particula ly for Insects that led him to experiment in keeplng one aplary on the roof of his home on One Hundred and Sev- enteenth strect. He procured a hive, stocked It and awalted results. The bees sallied forth, but not to starva- { tion. - In a short time they had combs "in process of construction and were filling them with honey.

H ‘SHEEP DESTROY MANY WEEDS E’ | Animals Convert Noxious Plants Into Wool and Mutton and Add Fertility to Soll. —_— | “Did you ever stop to consider what | a band of sheep is worth as a weed exterminator?” asks a California de- partment of agriculture expert. “In ‘the first place the band is worth as much in the destruction of weeds as 2 man with a team and cultivator or "weeder through the season. “Secondly, there is a big difference in cultivating weeds out or mowing 'them and sheeping them off.' Culti- ‘vating or mowing is an expensive method for which you get nothing but a little added humus to the soil, whereas sheep turn your weeds inm; marketable products at good prices, to, 'say nothing of added fertilizer in the| form of sheep manure deposited on| 'the fields. “It has been remarked that a small band of sheep adds $1,000 to the av- ‘erage appearance of the ranch in five years' time, from the standpoint of! weedless fields. However, in the long run it is more than that. It is an| lactual source of steady income.” % LOSS BY PLANT DISEASES ||| Here are some of- the losses to American farmers in the United States in one year by plant dis- eases which might have been prevented If known control meas- ures had been immediately ap- plied: Wheat, 122,000,000 bus els; oats, 50,000,000 hushels; corn, 80,000,000 bushels; toes, 50,000,000 bushels; potatoes, 40,000,000 bushels (two- fifthd of the total crop); toma- toes, 185,000 tons; cotfon, & 000 Dbales; peaches, 5,000,000 bushels; apples, 16,000,000 bushels.
