SMUT IN CORN.
“My coin is attacked by smut
balls on the stalks and ears too,
and such stalks make no corn.
How can I get rid of it? - ’
Smut is carried to corn by
the manure and soil and not by
the seed. Cattle will eat the
smutty fodder and the pores
will be carried in the manure
and spread on the land. Keep
flu- smutty fodder away from
>th e feed lot and you will have
less of it. Then farm in a good
rotation and do not grow corn
year after year on the same
jpnd. —The Progressive Farm-

When a preacher gets a repu

What causes one man to run

WINTER PLOWING TO DE
STROY GET WORMS.
One of the troublesome pests
of every truck grower is the cut
worm. The winter stage of this
pest is passed in the ground in
the form of a half grown worm.
By plowing the land in late fall
and exposing these worms to
the cold, a large* percentage of
them can be destroyed. There
fore*, every truck farmer should
turn during late fall or early
winter all ground that is not
growing some winter crop. This
fall or winter plowing will not
lolly destroy cut worms, but
many other harmful winter in
sects, among them being white
grubs. Plowing should be good
and deep, however, in order to
get at this white grub, because
of the fact that it goes quite
deep into the ground. Too
much stress cannot be placed
upon the value* of fall and win
ter plowing to destroy the pests
mentioned and many others. —
