Just now this all Important fiber either stays In India, cr on its way. to our shore* gets no further than the Enropean bsttlefront Because of the resulting shortage fer­ tilisers have to b* shipped In large bigs, ten to the ton, Instead of 12,19, and even 90 td the ton, as was form­ erly the common practice, Tq meg unaccustomed to handling thMe heav­ ier packages this means inconvenience and even actual hardship, rising the larger bags economizes burlap—In fact saves 15 million yards for more urgent needs. What farmer would' hot be glad to share this in­ convenience if he bnt. realized „that one of the big reasons for the burlap shortage Is" that our soldier boys are using it In the trenches? Every sol­ dier on going to the firing line takes with him one Or more burlap bags. During the day, an th e embankments are worn down by continuous shell fire; these bags are filled with- earth hr sand and then a t nightfall are thrown up to repair the parapet, Here it is not a question, of conveni­ ence—It is a question of necessity. The boys in tbe trenches must have first call on the burlap supplies, - The larger bags even hare certain advantages. When emptied they may be used to carry .crops from the field to' the bin or crib; a 200 -pound bag holds two bushels o f potatoes. Very' few men ever Carry two sacks of po­ tatoes In a-single trip, even though each sack "Contain* but One -busheb On the other hand most men cap eas­ ily carry two bushels When they are In the -same bag, and hence do this part of their .work more rapidly.' % It happens that the'iarge bag become* * very'real !ab»r «iy<avsrid this a t * rime whati all fatmewr must cut cor< tettW te adpntegeaAW rite '"'afi'fiiVMIhuilte Yti&riiPssft broil fhaa ate- m nap o nride* moet productive a labor a »w S «ll teo ah e rt s i smalter «**•*,- % can be cut up tor paririiil purposes and used la etteur waya.

Tbe l&l7 corn crop la very poer ini quality. Much ef it is soft, so soft that i t tells to keep in storage. A re­ cent crop report from the United State# Department of Agriculture indicate# an average condition of 75.2 for the 1017 eorn crop over against an S i pet eeat average for the last ten years; this valuing mature com a t 100 ,,. Early frosts sad cold, late growing ^seasons are responsible for much of !h# se tt corn loss in th t com belt. W* •annot control the weather but by C oper cultural methods, we can hasten atarity e f the oora by from one to two week*, thus ripening the crop be­ fore the arrival of disastrous frosts. Cutting short the growing season of C t crop seven to fourteen days will the majority of Cases, make nine tars eat of ten marketable Instead of two ears oat ef three a* during the |a s t season. Proper Varieties Ksesntiai. One great cause for the'iarge amount K soft com produced la the planting >f varieties which am not adapted to sllmatic condition* under, which they #rt grown. In our terror for bigger trope, we hava $ftsn gone South for large yielding varieties which require longer growing Masons than prevail lb most sections of the com belt. Most if these varieties are large-eared and weigh heavily because they contain a larger percentage of moisture than our #orth*m grown varieties, and thus mislead the farms* but not the grain tester, For much of the grading is done in a b a ils ef moisture content, ■atanoed Pfantfeed Insures Crops. Perhaps the biggest reason for tits large amount of soft com produced In 1917 and in other years, is the lack sufficient available plantfood la the mil to g ift the crop a quick atari to enable if to take advantage of every growing day and to properly fin the ears and hasten maturity. All other condition* being equal, the use of stiffi- Clent amounts of a well-balanced, avail- gble pteatfood will shorten the grow­ ing season ef a corn crop from tin to fourteen day*. This ten to fourieer leys often means a difference betwes k crop of marketable ears and a m Vhich is hardly worth harvesting. Is PAULBUTCHER ■OW iBD VITOS, A n * . * A u n r s j u m o M , c m * .
