by and Mothodical Col.

Last IQ!! there was s. `marked re.

duction ln the acreage in corn, both for grain and fodder, as compared

:fiber with 1917 or 1916 in‘Ontarlo. n corn for husking the acreage last year was 196.000, as compared with 159.000 the year before, and ln fed. our wrn ve had 381.000 acres an 1918 as ala-Inst 511,000 in 1917,

The decline in corn is partly ex-

plained by the increase in beans, but is malnly'_attri_hu_table to the shortage of labor. Neither factor will tell against corn'iti .1919. Labor supply will almost certainly be normal, and after the disastrous experience in the effort to market last season’s bean crop, beans, instead of showing an abnormal acreage this year, are like- ly to fall very much below the usual.

Corn is. after all, the king of cui-

tivated crops in this province. N0 other field crop is so little affected by vicissitudes ‘of the weather; none is so free from attack by insect or other ellernies; none gives such at large bulk of valuable feed per acre in return for labor bestowed; fed either to beef or dairy cattle it al- ways shows a satisfactory cost return per acre. For all _these reasons there is every reason to expect. with labor conditions again normal, at least the usual acreage in corn this year.

For the central and southern

counties of Ontario the general favorites in varieties are Wisconsin No. 7, Golden Glow and White Cap Yellow Dent. For the more northerly districts there is nothing better than Salzer's North Dakota or Longfellow. Wisconsin No; 7 has proved particu- larly satisfactory where grown. It gives a lot of fodder, is a most ex- cellent cobber, and matures early enough for the silo all over central

Ontario.

Corn is a hot weather plant, but,

as last seaaon's experience proves, thc effects even of a cold season can be largely overcome by cultivation. ln 27 counties of the province aver- age yields of ten tons per acre or better were secured, and in Perth the average ran over twelve. For the whole province the average was

10.35 tons.

Cultivation is, provided thc sced

is right, everything in corn. This should begin as soon as the land is fit for work ln preparation for seed- ing. With thorough cultivation he- fore sowing the land is not only warmed up and put ln good tilth, but the labor of preventing weed growth after seeding will be much

In sowing for eusilage corn the

almost universal practice now is to; sow in rows, the distance betweeni rows varying from 38 to 42 inches._

The writer began with 42 inches, but
