OUR GREATEST ?COD CROP
But for corn, the world war might
have been won by Germany. We not
only shipped large quantities of it
abroad, but we ate more of it during
the war period than at any previous
time in our history. Corn was the
one acceptable substitute which we
could use in almost unlimited quan
tities in place of wheat. Without it
we would not have attained the ad
vancement and development which
now characterizes this nation. Corn
furnishes the chief concentrated food
of our work animals, and it Is the
basis of practically all rations used
for the fattening of livestock. There
fore its cultivation is of universal
importance.
Corn is, in its possibilities, the
greatest food crop in the world be
cause with a suitable climate and soil
it will produce about twice as much
grain per acre as any of the other
grain crops. The fact that so much
of the United States has a climate
favorable for raising corn and con
tains so much good corn land ac
counts very largely for her wealth
and prosperity.
Corn is native to America and was
unknown to the civilized world before
America was discovered. At that
time the Indians all over North and
South America were cultivating corn,
and it certainly has been grown for
many hunderd years before white
men landed on the shores of the new
world.
Ever since the first settlers ar
rived. corn has played a very import
ant part in the history of our coun
try. Every boy who has studied his
tory knows that the corn that these
Indians shared with these early set
tlers actually kept them from starv
ing. The Indians taught the white
men how to raise corn, and for a long
time it was the principal food of the
colonists. Certainly the rapid settle
ment of the colonies would have been
impossible without the corn crop.
Later this same crop made it possi
ble to settle and develop the great
central part of the country so rap
idly.
In 1917 3,065.000.900 bushels of
corn valued at $3,528,303,000 were
produced in the United States, or
three-fourths of all the corn grown
in the wolrd. These figures are so
large that one cannot comprehend
them. If this corn could be evenly
divided, every man. woman and child
in the country would have thirty
bushels of corn. If all the grain of
all kinds grown in Europe was evenly
divided, it would give each inhabi
tant but about fifteem bushels. If
the corn crop of the United States
could be put in wagons holding fifty
bushels each, and each wagon allow
ed a space of .twenty feet, it would
require seventy-five rows of wagons
reaching from New-York city to San
Francisco, a distance of 3,000 miies.
to hold it all. The wheat crop is the
most important crop of the world,
but the corn ' crop of the United
States is three-fourths. as large as
the wheat crop, of the world. .It is
one and a half times as large as the
oat crop of the entire world, by
weight, and one and a half times as
large as the rice crop or the rye
crop of the world. Is it any wonder
that corn is called “King Corn” in
America?
You may wonder , why corn-is not
more extensively grown in other
countries since it is, such a valuable
crop. As a matter of fact, corn is

probably nearly as extensively grown
as possible, for outside of the United
States there are few large areas
where the climate and soils are suit
able for the crop. Argentina ranks
next to the United States in pro
duction, but it produces but about
one-fifteenth as much as this coun
try. Considerable corn is also pro
duced in Europe in the countries
that border on the Mediterranean.
The preparation of an ideal seed
bed should begin in the fall rather
than in the spring. Most lands in
Georgia can be easily and profitably
broken to a depth of ten inches.
This is especially true of r.orth and
middle Georgia soils. A cover crop
of rye or oats should be sown on all
fall plowed lands in order to pre
vent washing and also to utilize the
plant food that becomes available.
Unless this is done leaching will oc
cur. If the land has a good growth
of any kind on it, such as velvet
beans, cowpeas, or simple native
grasses and weeds, it should be turn
ed early and left rough if no cover
crop can be sown. I
Winter or fall breaking has many
advantages over spring breaking.
First, it is done at a time when
work on the farm is not rushing;
second, it stores up a. large amount
of moisture for use of the next crop;
third, it warms up earlier; fourth,
it destroys a great many insects and
makes use of the vegetation.
In planning for a large yield of
corn three things should be noted.
First, that corn requires a large
amount of water through the grow
ing season: second, it uses large
amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and
potash; and third, it requires a fer
tile, well drained soil that is rich
in vegetable matter.
The above requirement will gen
erally be found in a well drained
bottom soil rather than on average
upland. If a bottom soil is selected
on which to make a record yield, it
should not be subject to overflow,
and. in order to insure the proper
drainage that is essential for a max
imum crop, the water table should
not be nearer than three feet to the
surface.
If upland is selected for a large
yield of corn, the same requirements
should be considered. Do not expect
a large yield from droughty land un
less the season is especially favor
able as regards rainfall. There is no
assurance that the season ■ will al
ways be favorable, therefore, this
kind of soil should not be used if
other is available. The best kind of
upland soil is a loam, sandy loam
or clay loam. Either of these types
of soil should have a heavy loam,
sandy clay or clay subsoil that will
naturally retain the film moisture
as well as the soluble plant food
within reach of the plant roots.
The soil is a medium for holding
water and food in an available foi*n
for the plants to use as it is needed
by them, and, briefly stated, a good
corn soil should be naturally fertile,
productive, well drained, and one
that can be retained in a good me
chanical condition.
A good seed bed is 50 per cent of
the crop. Upon this depends the
success in producing a large yield.
The seed bed is th ehome of the
plant and from it will receive the
largest part of its food and water.
Therefore, in order to insure a plen
tiful supply of food and water, as
well as a favorable conditon of the
soil for the penetration of the plant
roots, the seed bed should be deep,
well pulverized, friable and thor
oughly mixed with vegetable matter.
When natural conditions are right
farm manures generally give good re
sults, though they may often be sup
plemented with commercial fertilizers
to an advantage. When manure is
not to be had in sufficient amounts
commercial fertilizer may be used
to supply the plant food needed by
the . crop in excess of the natural
fertility. As an example, suppose a
field will produce twenty-five bushels
of corn per acre without any fer
tilizer treatment, if the yield is to
be increased to fifty bushels per
acre, a sufficient amount of available
plant food must be supplied to the
soil to meet the needs of the in
creased yield.
Application of 400 pounds per acre
of fertilizer composed- of equal parts
of acid phosphate and cottonseed
meal is recommended by some for
ordinary yields. This could be dou
bled whi re large yields are expect
ed. Soils that are rich in organic
matter need nothing further than
acid phosphate at the rate of 400 to
800 pounds per acre.
Estimates on Sugar Beets
Heaven may temper the wind to the
shorn lamb, but does not always add
sweetening to the pulp of a sugar
beet during a sugar famine.
Figures compiled by the bureau of
crop estimates show a slight falling
off in the amount of sugar extracted
from the sugar beets in 1919 when
compared, pound for pound, with 'the
crops of preceding years. In the
United States, and including the best
crop from 50 acres in Ontario, 5,8'87,-
557 short tons of beets produced. 726,-
451 short tons of sugar in 1919, while
5,577,506 tons of beets from the same
sources in 1918 gave us 760,950 tons
of sugar.
In 1919, moreover, the average pro
duction of beets pei' acre was 9.27
tons, while the average in 1918 was
10.01 tons.
The 1919 crop sold for $11.74 per
ton of 2,000 pounds as against $lO
for the 1918 crop, and the total value
of the two crops was $75,420,000 and
$59,494,000. resneetivelv.
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Dear Miss Meredith:
I am a girl of seventeen summers
coming to you for advice. Can you
please tell me what will remove
pimples? Should a girl write to a
boy and not let her parents know it,
if they object? Do you think I am
too young to have company and go
with young men if another girl goes,
too? I have two very dear boy
friends and my parents object to me
speaking to one of them and I love
him dearly. They don’t like for me
to go with any boy which they think
I like. Both of these young men
have proposed to me. One is a farm
er, twenty-four years old, the other
is a soldier, twenty-six years old. I
like both of them but like the farm
er the best, and my parents seem to
hate him. I have known him for
several years and know him to be a
good boy. Do you think it is all
right for a girl to marry without
her parents’ consent? What should
a girl tell a boy when he says he
loves her and asks her to marry him?
Is it all right to correspond with a
boy you have not met personally? I
will finish high school this year. Do
you think 1 am too young to marry?
About ten boys have proposed' to me.
In fact, I never go with a boy hard
ly but what he asks me to marry
him. I tell them I am too young.
But several have joined the army on
that account. How soon should a
girl answer a boy’s letter? Thank
ing you for your advice, I hope to
see this in print.
“BROWN-EYED BEAUTY.”
I expect your parents have a
reason, when they forbid you to
accept the attentions of a man
they dislike. Your mother and
father are your best friends, my
dear, and when they give advice,
as a rule, they know what they
are talking about. You are still
very young and life is just open
ing its doors to you, why not
try to get some of its whole
some pleasures without filling
your head with so much ro
mance? Men are all right and
it'is nice to have them as one's
friends, but you are so young
1 wouldn’t think of marriage just
yet. And don't deceive your par
ents. In after years you may
, regret it. Just go ahead and
‘ have an innocent, good time,
wait until you are older then Mr.
Right will come along and you
will then know what real love
is. But don't let them fill your
head with a lot of nonsense.
They don’t mean all they say,
you know. Be careful of your
diet, don’t eat a lot of greasy
food, keep the face free of pow
der for a while, and use a good
soap, castile is the best, rinse
witih cold water, that will have
a tendency to close the pores of
your skin.
I am a jolly girl, coming to you
for advice; age eighteen and’ in the
ninth grade. I want to finish high
school; am not in any hurry to
marry. I am in love with a young
man, twenty years of age; he has

Questions Answered
I.—Q. Is there a difference be
tween a raisin and a grape?
1. —A. The word raisin is generally
used to refer to the dried grape.
Raisin grapes are usually the product
of warm climates and contain from
20 to 30 per cent of sugar. The prin
cipal and most valuable class of
raisin grapes is the muscatel. The
seedless raisins of commerce are
largely Sultana grapes. The smallest
ones come from the currant grape.
2. —Q, What effect have increased
freight rates had on the price of
men’s' clothin?
2. —A. Very little. The association
of railway executives has advertised
that whereas the pre-war cost of
transporting a suit of men’s clothes
more than 2,000 miles was 16 1-2
cents, the present cost is but 22
cents, an increase of only 5 1-2 cents.
3. —Q. Was Canada ever invaded by
the Irish?
3. —A. In 1866 a proposed expedi
tion of 10,000 men resulted in 500
Fenians crossing the border from
New York and Vermont. They de
feated the Canadian militia, but were
forced to abandon their campaign for
lack of reinforcements and supplies.
4. —Q. Who and what are the “Rice
Leaders of the World?”
4. —A. “The Rice Leaders of the
World” is, an organization composed
of one representative concern from
each class of industry in the world.
Being a member of this association
signifies that, in the judgment of a
committee'of certain people of note,
that firm is the leader in its line.
5. —Q. 'What was the number of the
airplane in which Quentin Roosevelt
met his death?
5.—A. The air service department
says that the airplane in which Lieu'
once loved me better than any other
girl in the world and was true; he
would tell me everything. He is a
fine boy, liked by everybody; he has
been at work twenty miles away
from me for seven months and he
seems as if he has grown careless
since he has gone there. He had
never been with any other girl ex
cept me, and hasn’t been with any
other one as I know of until he went
away this fall. I think he goes
with some of the girls there now.
He and I have been going together
regular for three years. He always
gives me nice ’ presents Christmas.
He gave me a nice one last Christ
mas. I did and still put more con
fidence in him than any boy I have
ever been with. The man he works
with has a family and is a flirt with
the young girls. He is nice and
pleasant when he comes io see me
now. I don’t care anything about
any other boy in the world. I know
there is no time lost with me in
getting married. He hasn’t asked
me to marry him, but said for me
to finish school and he would do
some kind of work until I finished.
Would you' advise me to forget
him only as a friend. Or what do
you think would be best for me to
do? We never get mad and fuss
any. I* say something to him about
the othei’ girls sometimes.
Please give me advice.
I think the young man still
things a great deal of you but
he is in another town and like
so many other men, sees a great
deal of other girls. The mar
ried man might have a bad in
fluence over him, but I wouldn’t
give him up if I were you.
I wouldn/t chide him for his
indifference but when you hear
from him or see him, casually
mention some other boy’s name.
A man likes to have some one
else in the race. A woman never
won a man yet by nagging him.
I would keep up a correspond
ence with him and write him
very lively, interesting letters
and he will see there are things
you are interested in besides
himself. That will hurt his van
ity and he will be nicer to you.
The minute a man sees a woman
is in love with him then he be
gins to lose interest. I know of
a married woman’s husband who
is a great flirt, and would leave
her in a minute if he thought
he could boss her. She is deeply
in love with him but she acts
indifferently and seems to like
the society of other men, but she
knows that is the surest way of
holding the husband she loves.

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
GAMBLING —A WORD TO BOYS
AND GIRLS
In the early periods of my life
church people and country people did
not gamble and play cards.
Good country schools were scarce,
but I was able to attend a school in
Oxford, Ga., and one of the qualifi
cations for the town was the fact
that people did not dance, did not
drink liquor and did not play cards.
Eighty years ago those things were
dangerous, as before stated, and my
parents wanted their eldest little girl
to board and attend school in a com
munity where good people lived, and
where they were sane and sensible.
In those days when persons professed
to be religious the members of the
church did not dance, v did not get
drunk and did not play> cards. Either
of these ailments would call tor a
church committee and a church trial
and more than likely a dismissal from
the ledger of the church as a com
municant and a member. I am not
going to say anything about phurch
members who dance or those who get
drunk. The prohi amendment takes
care, or should take care, of the
drinking of intoxicants. A good
many people contend that?a person
has the full liberty to drink all the
liquor he wants to drink, even until
he sees snakes and dies in delirium
tremens. If such a person could be
isolated from society and could hurt
nobody but his own poor fool selft.
there might be some force in the con
tention. . But the sot can kill his
wife, starve his children and shoot
his neighbor while he is insane from
the intoxicants.
Common sense and common jus
tice demands that everybody shall
behave themselves, and no person
shall be granted liberty to shoot up
the community because he is willing
to make a hog of himself by getting
drunk and playing the fool generally.
I, therefore, confine my written re
marks at this time to the gambling
craze that is pervading the United
States, and which will drag many
poor souls to perdition and carry
thousands to the penitentiary and
some to the gallows, for history al
ways repeats itselr.
A good many years ago, while the
good Queen Victoria reigned in
Great Britain her son Edward, heir
to the throne and jater the king of
the British dominions, was called
into court to testify as to a dreadful
gambling cheat and in which he was
known to be present and a player.
It was a dreadful mortification to
his mother. She and her husband.
Prince Albert, were Christian peo
ple, and stood for good things ev
erywhere. But tehir son was not so
particular in his habits or his com
pany. If he had been the man he
should have been, he would not have
been caught with gamblers who
cheated and were exposed and prose
cuted,.
The prince had to confess that
checks or "counters” each valued at
$25, were shipped into his sleeve,
because the gang were delighted to
play in royal company, and he was
not.above taking his chances in the
game. He never regained the high
place he had once field in the es
teem of his subjects. He was lucky
to escape a term in prison.
Dear boys (and girls, too), play
ing such games, fosters" habits and
incites gambling passions that are
dangerous and which grow with their
growth and endure to the end. The
easily tempted are sure to go down
and under. As a rule, they crave
intoxicants to spur tuem on, just as
the demimonde crave liquor to make
their low life tolerable. I may be
an old fogy, but I am so afraid of
gambling insanity that I never touch
a playing card,. I might perchance
escape and die in my bed. but J
might by example tempt somebody
who could not refrain until they
were ruined and destroyed.

> placed in the drinking"
< . X •.T'A water, will positively
Ip save your little chicks
from all such diseases.
Inside of 48 hours the-
IFL sick ones will be as lively
w as crickets. Avicol keeps
them healthy and makes
„ them grow and develop. '
Mrs. Vannle Thackery, F. D. 8, St.
Paris, 0., writes. ‘‘l had 90 chicks and
they all died but 32. Then I commenced
on Avicol and haven’t lost any ainceJ
They have grown wonderfully."
