Farmers f who exercise all means to this end at I jjianting time will be well repaid at I the harvest* Here are some suggesL tions from specialists of the United I States Department of Agriculture I u in may aui in securing, as lar as | possible, the proper number of plants [( t').% acre.: I 'Pne best distiibution of plants over [ the land is obtained by making the distances between single .plants in the P row and the distances between rows ' tie* same. With such an equal dis/ tribal ion, the least possible loss from | cotnp til ion is expos ieneed. II' w ' ever, in order that sufficient plants be grown upon an acre to utilize most j completely the resources of the soil and climate and at the same time permit intertillage vnd other desiratf^fcnractiees, it is usually accessary ifcril ice some of the advantages t? be gained by even distribution for P 11.< st.' to be gained by other dcsiiabie cultural practices These cult lira1 t i 11-niethods 1'requentl.j may be alter**! , so as to reduce this loss, and Lho gnatest saving in this connection i by means of implmnnets specially to adapted to this work.

Tl'.f se ason iv, of course, the inousi imp? riant factor influencing- the sUund required and, as'^is character eiwi uii>'. be foretold, it is irvident that sjuv/ui. advice in this connection can not b | given. In practice, con? is commoniy yA-iii cm in stands rangrg-r from .0 to 7.2C?U plants per aciv, or (i to )2 sx/i+v.i feet per plant. M!* st stands of i.uui have been planted with an allow.u/w ? o;' 8 to \2 square feet per plant. One<iof the most..(deplorable due to defective .stand is from t.U blank spaces seen to>\a greater or liv.:-' extent in practically *?vcry field. T.o> : ability of the plants Jo utilize; exhnn space rapidly diminishes as the disl tance increases, am! tlhe practice 1 lir.-vit probably does not exceed f> or f>; feet. Beyond this distance the lo&s so far as the corn crop is concerned is complete. Good seed of a uniform sLjp and sfanpe is an important factor i^securnig ji stand, as it. makes pos-j sible a mere -uniform distribution by the planter. Burrowing animals and birds frequently do swious damage to the I stand by eating the seed or by pulling j tip the very yiumg plants. Odoiou? | sub.ctances have been tried jn vaii-| ous ways to prfv/ent such attacks | The substance tlu t is most favorably considered for litis purpose at pres ent is coal tar, beouu.se it secnu sue. cessfiu as a repellent, it will not in-J jy e the seed, costs very little, ami j < M i i. i * nr^ry oe ?urieu .so as ik plant Lreely in, a machine. It is recommended that the seed be wot with wvirm water be fore adding the tar. A teaspoon fid of the tar v/ill be sufficient for a peek of corn. The mass must be thorough ly mixed and then dried before plant- j jr. p. Jn wet, cold land the sood some- ] times is covered with too much soil. < On such land the seed should be plant < cd just deep enough to have it in con- < tact with moist soil.

From 25 to .??0 pounds c of nitrate of soda per acre, applied * with the com drill at the time the ? corn is planted, will quickly force the j young plants past the period of g reat est loss and thus greatly increase the a chances of securing a stand. 1 Whenever it is at all difficult tc c get the desired stand, extra seed s I CHARGES CRIMES \ BY FOOD PIRATES j U j Washington, June 9.?Assistant j,Secretary Vrooman of the departmcnt of agriculture, who has just re- j, turned from a tour on which he ob- y rei ved the food situatoin, declared in ^ a statement today he hatl seen much ^ ha:?lvhip and suffering, especially among the poor, because of the i "crime being perpetrated against the j \mcrican people by the control of (j food prices by disloyal food pirates.'' > j "Everywhere J have found a grow- y ?ng feeling that there must soon come y a reckoning with the manipulators of ^ the nation's food supply," said he. j "Foui classes of men are vainly try- y ing to nostuone that dav of reckon (] i"g. 2 "First, the impractical theorists j who on principle are so opposed to any increases in the authority of the ^ federal government, however tornpenary, that they would rather risk the safety of the nation than to sac-. i d ice their thee>ry on the altar of national efficiency. * "'3ee?o:i(lly, the fanatical pacifists V-..ho are unwilling to take* any step, i i that will make this government into j are -efficient war machine. i "Thirdly, the>so sordid, unscrupu- 1 h us. denize ns of the business ..junylc . * ' v ho in this decisive- world conflict art j | * intent only upon filling their -own ; .pockc.'ts with the price of economic | treason te> the republic and the' blood i * me ney of hungry men, wonwn and , / chileiren.
