Nitrogen Produce*
' Large Corn Yields
New methods for increasing com
yields in North Carolina are being
tested by a large number of grow
ers this year and the use of large
amounts of nitrogen per acre, when
the com is about knee high, i* one
of the moat important points in the
plan.
State College agronomists of both
the agricultural experiment station
and extension service call special at
tention to the five steps in increas
in corn yields. These five steps are
the use of a proven local variety or
an adapted hybrid; adapting the
fertiliser to suit the soil conditions;
providing enough plants to produce
desired yields; avoiding late, deep
cultivation, where possible; and
varying the topdresser with soil fer
tility and expected yield increases.
For yields up to 50 bushels per
acre, 8,000 plants per acre are need
ed; for 50 to 75 bushels, 7,tfl0 plants;
' and for 75 to 100 bushels, about 8,
400 plants.
Tests have shown that where land
produces from 18 to 35 bushels per
. 'acre with little or no nitrogen top
1 dressing, the following increases per
' acre may be obtained, if all prac
tices as to plants and cultivation are
followed: 20 pounds of nitrogen per
acre, 10 to 12 bushels; 30 pounds of
nitrogen, 15 to 18; 40 pounds of ni
trogen, 15 to 25; 80 pounds of nitro
gen 25 to 35; 80 pounds of nitrogen,
30 to 45; and 100 pounds of nitro
gen, 30 to 50 bushels of com.
Fertilization recommended at
planting of com in rotation with
heavily fertilized crops is 200 to 300
pounds at 8-8-8 or 5-7-5 and in ro
tation with legumes for seed and
small grains, 300 to 500 pounds per
acre. In rotation with legumes, the
recommendation is 300 to 500 pounds
of 4-8-8 per acre.

Grain Straw Will
Damage Lespedeza
The removal of straw Vrom grain
fields u a problem that has come
to us along with the combine, says
Enos Blair, extension agronomist at
State College. In the old days of
the binder and the thresher, the
neat stacks of straw left around the
barn were valuable as a source of
bedding, and as winter roughage for
dry cattle.
When the combine first came into
vogue many farmers simply left tie
straw on the field, in the hope that
it would rot away before the lespe
deza^>r clover which was growing
in the grain stable was ready to har
vest for hay. But instead, the straw
was usually raked up with the hay,
resulting in hay of low quality.
In some cases, extra heavy straw
would smother out the clover and
lespedeza.
A few fanners have tried burning
the straw, as left in windrows by
the combine, but this is not only
wasteful, but may also destroy much
of the young hay crop.
"It is well worth while to remove
the straw from grain stubble fields,
both as a help in producing clean
lespedeza or clover hay, and for its
own value as bedding and rough
age," Blair. The pickup baler offers
the easiest way of doing this.
"Another good way is to rake the
straw into windrows somewhat'
larger than those left by the com
bine, and bale it with a small port
able baler. If this cannot be done,
rake up the straw and haul it away,
stacking it on the edge of the field
or near the barn.

departure of men from origi
nal purity soon had its consumma
tion in widespread wickedness.
And God destroyed all .living things
on the earth by a deluge. Several
ancient races had traditions of
great flood which swepi away the
greater part of mankinu. In lower
Mesopotamia the arehaelogist finds
evidence of a flood fn the strata deep
down under the level of the' plain.
Here in Genesis we learn that
only Noah and his family and the
creature* with him in the arte e
caped. At length Noah learned, |
when the dove returned with i
olivt leaf in her mouthp that the
waters were receding ami at last
when the earth was dry he and all
with him went forth frpm the ark,
which had rested on the mountains
of Ararat
Almost the fust sign of life which
the lonely ol? earth saw was a
spiral ?f smoke curling heaven
ward from Noah's newly-built altar
of sacrifice. It was a burin offer
ing ? the whole was consumed. And
still God requires the gift of our all
to Him.
Two great promises God made to
Noah ? one the assurance of the sea
sons, the other that the raging wat
ers would nevermore sweep away
all flesh. How necessary the first
to man's continued life; how inspir
ing to the spirit is the rainbow!
Retribution must ever come upon
the persistently disobedient and im
penitant. But even for these there
is hope ? to the gate of the tomb
as long as the rainbow is seen in the
cloud. Beautiful token it is. Find
your rainbow in the cloud because
you admit Jesus into your hearts.
