NEITHER EXTREME DESRABLE, Greatest Total Growth of ‘Stalk Made From Pjanting In May of June— ' ¢ “Experiments of State Stations Corroborated. _. (Prepared by the United States Department : of Agriculture.) ‘No gain is made in yield or maturity by planting corn before conditions of soil and atmosphere are right, in the opinion of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. Corn growers in localities with & long season have observed that early and late plantings of the same variety usually show wide differences in growth and number of days required to reach maturity. In general, corn which is seeded early requires a longer time to come up thah 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 Agri- culture at the Arlington experimental farm near Washington, D. C,, in order to obtain data which would supplement that obtained earlier at the various state experiment stations. Numerous experiments have been conducted by the state agricultural experiment sta- tions to:.determine the influence of the different dates of planting on corn ylelds, The state experiments re- viewed -indicate that the best yields of grain may be expected from the early seedings and the most rapid de- velopment and greatest growth from the later seedings. Neither the ex- tremely early nor the very late plant- ings 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 yleld. The results of these studies, which extended over a five-year period, are presented In Department Bulletin BEMIDJI'S BRAND NEW HALF-MILLION-DOLLAR HIH SCHOOL IS OPEN (Continued Frem Page 1) and the “architectural ~ ability of Architect E.

B. Brown and H. 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 germina. tion of corn Increased in rapldity as the date of seeding occurred later. When sown early the short-season northern varieties came up sooner than the varleties from the central and southern states. When sown later the differences in this respect were not usually apparent. "' May or June Favored. The total growth of stalk was greatest from the seedings In June and Plant Corn in May or June for Best Growth and Yield. May. The total growth was least and rate of growth slowest from the April seedings. Development was more rapid. in-the later than in the earlier seed- : The number of ears per-stalk, the size of the ear, and‘the:ameount of suckering bore no consistent relation ] The, pollent ‘sheading period was in plants from the early seedings’ thah*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 ip 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 May 20. Start Vegetables Early, .

Public Entertainments Entertainments of a public nature wher;ang:. admission is charged /may be arraged to be held in the school auditorfum and assembly rdom, al- though ' Superintendent West¢, and the beatd of education do not plan to rent the use of the.school auditerium when @dmission is charged, rActual cost of ‘upkeep and runmag expenscs will be charged when entertainments of a public nature are put on free of charge to the public. The school board will regulate the use of the building at all times. Admission will be charged, however to those entertainments which are to be staged, by the school, as in the past. The completion of this audi- torium will provide Bemidji a very valuable place for public meetings. The beauty of the new school can not be done justice by mere words as the writer endeavored to say n the beginning of this article, and as some noted man, probably from Missouri, . once said: “Seeing is Be- lieving.” Therefore, it is recommend- ed that all persons interested in the structure view it for themselves. They are sure to be proud of it too! FIRE DAMAGES LOCAL GARAGE SUNDAY NOON (Continued from Page 1) pleted the work of estimating the loss., work of repairing the ‘loss will begin.
