The winter grain crops of Europe, with the exception of Germany and the Netherlands, ere repotted; to have made favorable progress during the month of March. In Germany the groinnd was expesed to late frost with injury to wheat and rye. It is also reported that a great shortage of farm help may follow the keen demand for factory ,hands in that country. This may reduce the sugar beet acreage and lessen the, ability of Germany to re-enter the sugar export trade on a broad scale this year. The Italian Itheat harvest can be no more than a :rah- crop, while Rournania's acreage ie raueli below that of last year. Protecting Leather Coo. It is important to keep leather from mildewing. The mold will not do serious damage, however, unless it re- mains too long. The simplest plan to -follow is to store he leather in a 'well -ventilated, dry, well -lighted plaee, preferably one with an ex- posure to sunlight. Mold makes little growth where there is plenty of sun- shine. Where mildew has developed on of all sorts on corn 01 14.9 bushels. On wheat the average increase over no fertilizer was 11.3 bushels. On oats it was 11.3 bushels, arid on clover and timothy 1,764 lbs. On these tests' fertilizers were applied in the usual farm way in addition to the rotation of crops. - At Indiana Station, where fertilize(/' was applied in 1920 to corn, an -in- crease of 42 bushels per acre was ob- tained, while on wheat under similar conditions the increase was 12.9 bushels per acre. Actual, farmers' exPeriences have paralleled and in many cases exceeded the results obtained at Experiment Stations. ; In 1920 Stanley Merrill of Lambeth, Ont., applied high grade fertilizers on a one-fifth acre block of potatoes, ob- taining as follows: No fertilizer ....... .... 137.5 bus. 500 lbs. per acre ... . . 187.5 bus. 750 lbs. per acre 216.6 bus. 1,000 lbsper acre , S00.0 bus. Cr°P Farms Acres Income • More bushels and tons of produce in 1922 spell more dollars/return. This fact is beyond question. During a period of low prices tie farmer who gets the biggest yield per rre makes the ano.st total dollars and- in the end has the greatestnet return. -A very striking illustration is provideby the University of Ohio in discussing -the relationsof crop yield to farm returns, in a pamphlet published in 1929. It reads as. follows: It Pays to Grow Large Crops. The following 'table is based 'upon figures secured from 80 farms in Washington toNviiship, Montgoin,ery County, in: 1916.. The farms were di- vided into two groups, those farms having yields above the average going into one group, and those with yields below the average in ariother. Crop Yields and Labor Income.

The report of this test reads: "The plot manured and fertilized is by all means the best. The corn was tall and nearly all Of it ripe.

A ,Worth -while Life. A reimth ago the writer "attended the funeral of his best friend, a farm- er boy who grew up with him in the same comniunity andwith whom he had been closely asseerated a-llthis life. As ea boy he was industrious and thrifty and eorded the money neces- sary -for a start in farming. He mar- ried a fitting 'helpmeet and settled down to the business �f his life; first - on a rented farm, later on a farm of his own, where his industry and thrift ancr good management contributed to the earning -of a competence, in addi- tion to bringing up a fine family of three children. But the choicest; among his achievementi Was the place he won in the community in which he lived, a_place Whieh was attested by the host of friends and acquaintances who attended his 'funeral when he was stricken down in the prime Of ;his manhood, a.*' the trikaites they one and all paid him. He' lived a worth -while life. His greatest success was his wholesome influence on the' community in which he lived. Ills life was worthy of emulation by all of us. It measured up to the cyitical standard by 'which all of us must one day be judged.
