Some Up-to-date Hints About Caltiva- tion of the Soil and Yields Thereof —Horticulture, Viticulture and Flori- malture. N response to no- tices sent out for samples of corn to test germination, sixty-two have been tested from various parts of the state. Germi- nation tests indi- cate that the crop of 1896 is not as bad as has gener- ally been supposed. It germi- nates well where it has been kept in dry places. A few tests are here given: Calico corn, an early maturing variety, saved at cribbing time; two germination tests were made, First test, 93.33 per cent in laboratory; second test in greenhouse, 98 per cent. Yellow Dent, collected in 1895 and kept in crib since time of collection; germination, first test in laboratory, 100 per cent; second test, in green- house, 100 per cent. Sweet corn, crop of 1895, in shock over winter, one ear—none germinated, second ear—100 per cent. Calico corn, crop of 1895, gathered after frost, kept over chicken coop dur- ing winter; first test, laboratory, 100 per cent; second test, greenhouse, 96 per cent. The latter probably in mid- dle of shock. White Dent, 1895, stored in corn crib, collected rather early; first test, labor- atory, 95 per cent; second test, green- house, 94 per cent. Same variety, 1896; first test, laboratory, 100 per cent; sec- ond test, greenhouse, 96 per cent. White Dent, 1895, gathered after frost, kept in crib; first test, 100 per cent. Same variety collected under same conditions, crop of 1896; first test, laboratory, 85 per cent; second test, greenhouse, 100 per cent. Calico corn, closed crib, 1895 germi- nation; first test, laboratory test, 98 per cent; second test, greenhouse, 100 per cent. Same variety corn 1896 open crib so that rain entered in from top; germination, first test in laboratory, 52 per cent; second test in greenhouse, 36 per cent. Same variety corn of 1896, but in a closed crib; first test in labor- atory, 60 per cent; second test in green- house, 44 per cent. The pop corn seed of 1894 and 1896 have shown a high percentage of ger- mination. One hundred per cent ger- minating. Sweet corns have not ger- minated as well. These germination tests indicate that all corn kept in open cribs or shock where rain has had easy access, should not be used for planting. Seed kept in dry places germinates well, so that farmers need not purchase expensive seed. The changeable condi- tions of moisture and drying, greatly injuring the capacity for germination. Corn ‘may show a high percentage of germination in laboratory and yet fail to germinate well in the field. If the weather is warm and soil has a suffi- cient quantity of water, the laboratory and field tests will nearly coincide, but with a soil soaked with water and cold weather, there will be a considerable loss. L. H. Pammel, Botanist. Iowa Experiment Station, Sugar Beet Soil. “The query that presents itself to most people when the matter of grow- ing sugar beets is presented, is what kind of soil is best for them? This may be replied to in a general way by the statement that any moderately fer- tile soil, such as will grow wheat, corn, potatoes, cotton, etc., will be found suited to sugar beets, and even soils too salty or alkaline to grow these crops will produce good beets. Sugar beets have been found a good crop to plant upon soils. somewhat alkaline, with a view of improving the soil, this crop having been found valuable for extracting and removing alkali in small quantities. Experiments have been made with growing upon ex- tremely light, sandy soils and upon heavy adobe and clay soils; upon very sterile and fertile soils, with results leading to the conclusion that extremes in all these classes of soil should be avoided, while medium soils of all kinds give satisfactory yields. One of the essentials is that the soil shall have depth—that is, it must he of a friable nature to the depth of a foot or more. Another is that there shall be no “hard pan” near the surface. A calcareous soil has been found to produce the greatest per cent of sugar. In too rich a soil the beets grow too large, have little sugar and grow too much leaves. In a poor soil the beets may be rich in sugat, but the yield will be too small to be a paying crop. In a wet soil the beets are too large and contain an in- sufficient amount of sugar. A dearth of water produces a small erop and woody structure. A heavy clay or adobe is not loose enough to be easily worked and requires too much care in {rrigating and cultivating to give good returns, The reports of experiments show that in Wisconsin the richest beets were obtained from a fertile clay loam. In Washington the best results were obtained from a soil intermediate between a clay loam and a sandy loam. In South Dakota a dark sandy loam and clay loam gave the most satisfac- tory crop. In Nebraska the best crops are grown upon a sandy loam. In Kan- sas the best results are from a loam. In Iowa a dark loam proved best. In Indiana most arable lands gave about equally good results though a moder- ately sandy loam seemed rather better than others. From these results the ideal soil for the sugar beet may be called a moderately fertile rather por- ous, deep sandy loam, with a porous subsoil.”—Wm. Stowe Devol, in Bul- letin 28, Arizona Experiment Station, A Peculiar Practice. The Washington Star of the 13th inst. makes a vigorous and just pro- test against the practice of the treasury department compromising oleo prosecutions, says Chicago Pro- duce, It is the practice of the govern- ment officials when a dealer is ar- rested for violating the internal rev- enue laws, to give him every oppor- tunity to pay his fine and escape Prosecution, thus making his offense disagreeable to him in no way eX- cept in the loss of a certain amount of money, the aggregate of which may not be as great as one month’s profits from his fraudulent practices. In the case of one retailer in Chi- cago who was recently apprehended for illegally selling oleomargarine, the internal revenue collector sim- ply called him up, secured from him an offer to compromise, and for- warded this offer to Washington for approval of the treasury depart- ment. If the offer is accepted he will suffer no further inconvenience from this case, and the public will be none the wiser. His case will not Serve as an example for other of- fenders. It will be necessary for the presecutors to hunt up individ- ual cases and prosecute each separ- ately, The Star puts it very pointedly and very justly in an editorial of some length, in which it says: “There is grave doubt whether the principle of compromise, as applied to criminal cases, operates to the advantage of the community by the discouraging of crime. It has even been asserted by Some observers that compromises tend to foster daring operations in defiance of the law, especially when no ques- tion exists as to guilt and conviction is within reach. In the case of the pending oleomargarine prosecutions the officials of the internal revenue bureau acknowledge that they are now considering the advisability of accepting an offer made by the al- leged violaters of the law prohibit- ing the sale as butter of imitations of that product, who propose to pay a heavy sum in consideration of the dropping of the cases against them. This method of settling proceedings under the law is permitted by the statutes, and involves no impeach- ment of personal integrity, but it is a serious question whether the best purposes of the law are furthered by acquiescence in such suggestions. The chief purpose of the penalties provided by the law is not to mulct the offenders to the enrichment of the treasury, but to discourage further vio- lations. The people of the district and others who suffer from the operations of these dealers in imitations of butter, who persist in marketing their prod- ucts as the genuine article, are not concerned in the least in the state of the “fraud fund” of the internal rev- enue office, into which these compro- mise payments are paid, but they are deeply interested in the success of the efforts to stamp out the frauds, and to this end they hope to see the law re- lentlessly applied and the just penal- ties incurred exacted to the letter when convictions are obtained. An offender who is confident of securing an acquit- tal will not generally offer to compro- mise and such an offer may be taken as fairly good evidence that he fears conviction. If he anticipates benefit from the lack of positive proof or from the interference of some technicality, he will save his funds and defy the of- ficers of the law to prosecute him. His offer to pay a large sum, even when more in amount than the fine that would be imposed in case of convic- tion, would not serve the full pur- poses of the law, which also calls for a term of imprisonment. It is this latter mode of punishment which is most likely to deter an evil-doer from a repetition of his crime. The money fine may only be partially representa- tive of the profits of the illegal prac- tice at which the law aims, and a system of fines without imprisonment would practically amount to licensing a fraudulent business. The imprison- ment is dreaded by violators, and as long as there is the least opportunity to secure conviction which will result in the application of this penalty all offers of compromise should be reject- ed. If, however, there should be enough doubt of success in case of ac- tive prosecution to warrant the accept- ance of a compromise offer, the fine exacted in this way should be large enough to put a heavy premium on good behavior in the future.” This “compromise” feature of the internal revenue law is one of the greatest obstacles in the way of en- forcing the oleomargarine act. New Asparagus Blight.—Professor Byron D. Halstead, of the Rutgers Col- lege Experiment Station, gives a some- what emphatic warning concerning the evil results of neglect to combat the new asparagus rust. This has already been reported from all the Atlantic states north of Virginia, so much so that no other known rust has been so overwhelming in its attacks. It is a fungus growth, and as it develops the field turns prematurely brown, while the stalks themselves seem blistered, and are heavily covered with lines of prown. The spores germinate most quickly in the warm, moist weather of spring. These must be destroyed im- mediately after the season's cutting is over, and it is necessary to take the additional precaution to carefully burn all brush and remnants in the fall. Burning the fields may do some dam- age, but it is not to be mentioned be- side that induced hy the ravages of the rust. The variety Palmetto seems to be partially exempt from attack.—Ex.
