Then too there is a residual or sec­ ond year effect from the fertilizer which the corn does not use up. It ds always seen in the improvement in the grain crop which follows the corn. One of the important things in using fertilizer on sweet corn1 is to see that the fertilizer does not come in direct contact with the corn that is planted. Best results are ob­ tained by drilling in the fertilizer with a drain drill so that it will be deposited in the damp area of the soil and will at the asme time be worked thoroughly into the soil where the seed corn is planted. Farmers who watched Mr. penhale’s test will be especially interested. In these results and all sweet corn growers will bei interested in the possibility of increasing their re­ turns.

If prices .are fair, yield of ears per acre can he raised to a point where they leave a ’ satisfying net return. Be­ sides, the grower has the corn stalks for green feed or silage. Mr. A. J. Penliale, of Exeter, has 'been, a prominent grower of sweet corn f-or some time. During the last three’ years in co-operation with -the Department of Chemistry, O. A. -C., he has been investigating means • of improving his crop. In 1929 he •tested an application of 2-12-6 fer- ■filizer in addition to th© manuring which he usually supplies from his -■corn field. This gave him an in- •crease of almost two tons per acre. In 1930 he tested 3-10-5 and-0-12-15 fertilizers and obtained almost two •tons increase from 3-10-5 fertilizer, but not During his test -6 and 'same proportion of plantfood as 2- 12-6. His total increase this year was greatest with the 3-18-9 fertil­ izer which gave him 2.4 tons in­ crease per acre. This was closely followed 'by 2-12-6. A closer view of the, 1931 crop {gives some, interesting information. $"The test areas were, carefully weigh­ ted up, recording the weight of ears ■and the weight of stalks harvested. ‘The results ere as follows: Fertilizer 2-12-6, stalks 14.8 tons, ears 4.7 'tons total 19.5 tons. Fertilizer, 3- 18-9, stalks 16.3 tons, ears 4.3 tons, total 20.6 tons'. Fertilizer 0-14-6, •stalks 14.4 tons, ears 4.4 tons, total 18.8 tons. Check, stalk’s 13.7‘ tons, -ears 4.4 tons total 18.1 tons; 1931 was an especially favorable •year for the growing of sweet corn, hence the comaratively small differ­ ence in the yield of ears. However, there was a gain of 4-10 ton -of ears from th© addition of 3-18-9 fertiliz­ er.’ If ear corn is worth $12.00 a ■ton the gain would be worth $4.80. At the same time there was a gain ■of 2.5 tons stalks per acre which at $3.00 a .ton would be worth $7.50 making a gross increase worth $12.- '30 per acre. The fertilizer which was applied in this case would cost •approximately $8.00, hence there is •a net return of over $4.00 per acre for an investment of approximately $8.00. While this is not a large re­ turn, still it does show the possi­ bilities of increasing the net return of the sweet corn patch by balanc­ ing the plantfood. -Mr. Penhale is a careful farmer and, believes in sys­ tematic order of his cropping. His ■sweet corn usually , follows clover turned under and receives ten to twelve tons of manure per acre. Ac- -cording to Mr. Penhale’s results, AN OLD LADY AND THE MOON Among the many old ladies liv­ ing in Exeter there are many of them who though living alone ap­ pear to be happy and contented. They read some, think more and of­ ten are able to have the great joy of helping someone in trouble. One of these bright and happy old ladies is Mrs. alone' in the daytime delights in go­ ing over th$ memories of other days besides doing considerable % day­ dreaming.

But the modern savage is a thousand times more cruel and more destructive than the worst of his .spiritual ancestors. His method is to attack the credit of so'me business- man or of some business firm by starting some rumor that has no foundation in fact yet which does its destructive best to utterly destroy the work the business firm or business man is carrying forward. A more contemptible practice cannot be thought of. We have, just seen a publication that is doing this very work.

This is very bad news, for till: this question is finally settled: the finding of the new normalcy is difficult to. the point of impossibil­ ity. The difficulty is simply this: Some of the nations to whom Germany owes money do not 'believe Germany when she says she cannot1 pay the amount she agreed to pay when the Great War end­ ed. Germany says she- cannot pay the sum she promised. The reply made is that Germany means that it is not convneient for her to pay the sum she owes, in other words that Germany .can pay if she really wants. France reminds her of the day when the Ger­ man heel was o>n the neck of the French, the day when the much lauded German Chancellor declared that he was prepared to bleed France white. France has heard something about Germany’s hav­ ing ever so many million men who are ready to take the field with arms made in Germany. France, declares that the war made too deep a wound in her side to forget the people who. talkd about a solemn treaty as a scrap of paper .‘Folk, tell France that Germany never will repeat her conduct of 1914. France replies, “We’ll take good care that she doesn’t.” So there you are. There’s no use for men to confer so long as each other believes that the other is not telling the truth. The modern situation in all its aspects fundamentally is a moral one. In the meantime, civilization comes hourly nearer to. her Gethsemane. Moral laws and spiritual forces cannot be thwarted with impunity. History laughs at the makeshifts of the ignorant and the selfish. The nations that will not face the salutary simply because it is disagreeable, invite disaster.

Mrs. Paul Crippled by Rheumatism “ I had been suffering with rheu­ matism for about 2 years, and about this time last year was laid up for 10 weeks. Aly hands and arms and knees were the worst affected. I could noir get about at all. I could not wash my lace or coinb my hair. All this had to be done for me. At the beginning of this year I started taking Krusehen Salts every morning and I am pleased to say I am quite well now and able to see to my home and can go out in all kinds of weather without it affecting me.”—Mrs. P. K. Rheumatism is associated with an. excess of Urie Acid in the system. Two of the ingredients of Kruschen Salts have the power of dissolving uric acid so as to render it capable of being easily washed out of the system. Other ingredients of Kruschen assist Nature to flush out this dissolved uric acid through the bowels and the kidneys. Other ingredients still, prevent food fermentation taking place in the intestine, and thereby check the formation not only of uric acid but of other impurities which poison the blood and pave the way to ill- health.
