the right dheotlon. .

Crop ‘Production Ia a general term and we should look fox-home of the . principles ‘underlying it, Once we have the best seed obtainable, in order to secure a crop we ‘must have a home or seed bod for it, the

qulrements, heat, light and plant food. Many think of fertility first and ofiten think of it in the terms at fertilizers. We should Indeed be in a ‘bad way ff nature had not ‘pro- vided us 99 per cont. of the require- ments of our crops at almost I10 cost to us. The one per cent. we supply looks very .big ‘to ‘us, but i doubt if It is even one per cent. We stir ‘the oil already there. for the seed bed. We sometimes do a little to remove surplus water. The heat and light are entirely he- yond our control for farm chops. We sometimes add a small pe- centuge of the ‘food actually used by our plants ‘and .lT costs us a lol of ‘real money.

Increasing Production. We can increase crop pnoduction

Ing plants from enemies. By 1m- proving the home and soil condi- Lions, by controlling to some extent moisture conditions and by supply lng increased plant food.

The use of the Ybest seed ob- tainable is a vital tractor in crop ‘production. Protection from ‘euc- mics is necessary. We have in- sects and diseases that lf not cou- lrolled ‘destroy crops.

The preparing orthe home or the field for the crop ls one of the real problems in crop production. We ha've secured u lot c-f data ‘from some 300 plo.s under cultural ex- periments for several years. ‘Some of thelac experiments have greatly helped us in our farm practice. Fl‘l1e early plowing of sod land has in- arenserl ‘the yields oi‘ ‘all our prin- cipnl crops. Sod plowed in August. burrowed occasionally during the autumn, gave better results thnn lllllllllfl or spring plowing. ‘lt ‘Inns been found that it. is not necessary t0 plow land after o. hood crop ‘for grain. The working of the land with ‘cultlvators and barrows gave better rwulls wllhout plowing. The autumn rldgiug of the land is not - only a preventative ‘from wwshin! but destroys ‘the routs 0t eliilllu o. our worst perennial weeds. Illdged laud is ready ‘for working from a week to ten days before land left. flat. This often means the dlf fen-nee between a ‘poor crop and a good one. There are many other factors in connection with keep- ing the home In order ‘for ‘the plan-ts throughout the growing sca- sou that we do not have time ‘to mention, unless you have questions you wish to ask. Some of the best
