Corn, of one variety or another, is our most widely distributed cereal crop. Therefore, any single disease that takes a to!! of 4 per cent is a matter for serious consideration. The United Slates Department oi Agriculture estimates the damage done by corn root rots in 1!)1!) at over 125,000,000 bushels. Multiplied by the average price of corn Tor that year, we have before us the unpleasant fact that these rots exacted a tax of over $200,000,000. When it is considered that one of the same organisms which causes corn root rot also causes wheat scab and that these organisms carried over on corn stubble may infect a field of PEOPLE OF OUR TOWN Hope blooms Eternal in the Spring an< so do Weeds, which Is why the Enthusi nstie Gardener Is Going To It so Hard Let a Single Li'l Spear of Grass rais< Its Head and he Massacres it.

They! I affect the kernels of corn in such a? I way that while they germinate they I _ fi- :n i " j'. *i 1 oiiun wiii piouuce sicki.v, niseaseci i (plants which may die in early stagesi or produce infected corn. These dis-j eases weaken the plants at the lower; joints, and if they come to maturity! the damage is perpetuated. Theoretically, corn root rot is pre-: ventable; practically, it is so to a1 large measure. If all corn stubble,j ; weeds, and grasses that act as winter i hosts could ho removed and destroyed, there could be little lodgment for corn root rot. Rut to carry out such r control measure is not practicable. There is a better, more practical way to prevent the disease, namely; see' ing that none but healthy seed goes I into the ground, and that the young I plants have the privilege of being I "born right." There is only one known method of assuring perfect | seed and that is the improved ger'j mination tost. It is necessary for j farmers wishing to avoid corn root rot to germinate kernels from every ear of corn to be used for seed. The simplest method of making a test is by means of an improved rag-doll germinator. This, in its essential features, consist of nothing more than a broad strip of muslin backed by moistureproof fiber paper. Rows of seed kernels are placed on (lie cloth which is rolled up and left in a warm box. The results are, of course, checked against the ears from which the kernels were taken, and only perfect, or nearly perfect, ear? are kept for seed. This germinatoi is very simple and furnishes a practi1 cally complete test. ' Bleached or unbleached muslin car be used for the raj; doll. The cloth which usually comes in 54 in. width is torn across into 12 inch strips 54 inches long. Before being use< the cloth is boiled, and it should b< damp when the seed are placed on it This cloth is laid on a strip of p;laze< paper, a little longer than the cloth to allow folding over at they ends fresh newspapers being placed on th table under the paper to avoid infec tion.

The box has damp gunnysacks on the bottom, and is! placed inside of a larger box, the' space between being insulated with damp sawdust. The rag dolls are| sprinkled twice daih, and at the end of seven days are taken out, unrolled | and inspected. The appearance of! the sprouts is a guide to the quality! of the seed. If more than one seed shows signs of infection, the infected ear is thrown out. If the farmer has I enough corn it is best to throw out an ear lor a single bp/1 kernel. Destroying the Stubble. 1'oot rot is carried over in stubble,' land every effort should be made to destroy or plow under as much stubble as possible. Increasing the fer-l tiMty of the soil and crop rotation i have also been found beneficial. One 'difficulty about rotation as a remedy is that root rot affects corn and! 1 A. - 1 ? 1 . 1 I wncai ana in many localities is ai-, ways present on the farm.

POTATOES TAKING OLD RANK AS AMERICAN STAPLE FOOD With the continuing drop in price, potatoes have receded from their temporary status as a delicacy, and are assuming their old rank as a great American staple food. This is to be assumed trom iigures lately coin pi led by thu Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture, which shows that between harvest time, and January 1, this year, 287,172,000 bushels of tubers were moved off from the farms on their way to the table. This is 50,71)1),000 bushels more than left the farms in the corresponding period a year ag.>, or a half bushel additional for every man, woman and child in the United States. The potato crop of 1020 was the largest in the history of the country, amounting to <130,458,000 bushels, and of these only 145,280,000 bushels were estimated as remaining in the hands of growers and dealers January 1. In I DID the crop was 355,773,000 bushel? and the amount in the hands of the growers January 1, 11)20, was estimator! te 127.400.000 bushels. j When the potato crop has been ady for :ers see Hardwick s. c. \ Agents A\ sJA \ for V yo .
