CORN LAND PREPARATION IN
THE GREAT PLAINS AREA
^Experience has shown that the
production of corn for fodder
or the silo is at least a safe crop,
and perhaps as productive as any
that could be grown in the Great
Plains area. The response to the
different modes of culture and
crop sequence, however, is great
er in the southern and central
portions of the area than in the
•northern, according to the new
bulletin, No. 219, by the U. S.
Department of Agricultural.
Some 14 field stations are situated
in the Great Plains*area, which
covers I ft states Montana, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming

Palace of Liberal Arts each day at 8
o'clock.
The amazing voice amplifier is but
one of many revolutionary scientific
advances demonstrated at the Exposi
tion. The invention has made possible
the transcontinental telephone, and the
principle which is applied has not been
developed to Its fullest extent It Is
said that with the probable develop
ment of the long distance wireless tele
phone this new invention will make it
possible to project the human voice
halfway around the globe without the
use of a telephone wire. Contrast the
era sixty-five years ago, when the pio
neer required njonths to cross the
plains, with that of today, when the
orator In New York may address his
audience in San Francisco.
And there are many other develop
ments aa wonderful and as revolution

world's progress In the arts, sciences
and Industries. If you are interested

pressed air drills. Walt moment and
you may witness an explosion in the
mine. A gong rings an ambulance

In the Palace of Machinery you may

a miniature mine patterned after one
of the lateat types of the submarine

The altitude of the country varies
greatly, and the southern por
tion of the territory has a higher
average altitude, rainfall and
rate of evaporation than the
northern portion. Thee liinate
is often clasilied as semiarid, bui,
as the variations in humidity from
season to season are so great
some yeai\s have a relatively high
precipitation, and may be follow
ed by years of drought. Thus the
climate and distribution of rain
fall play a very important pari
in determining the size of the
corn crop. Necessarily, in a bul
letin dealing with such a wide
expanse of territory, deductions
when not applied to a specific
station must be very general.
(lorn growing possesses merit
as a preparation of the land for
crop of small grain. When Mies
two factors yield of corn oi ,uu
der and the influence of the crop
on the soil, are combined in nm
cmp they make its growth double
importance. Corn is the only
crop that at present oilers this
advantage in the Great Plains
area, and which, at the same time
lends itself to a large acreage a »d

en grain s'Twiiums, which fit

to the whole of the Great Pia'.os
area, and i'urtnerinore have not
in general, shown effects as bene
ficial as corn on the following
crop. Potatoes as a crop may
have the same effect as corn on
the follow crop, but does not lead
itself so weii to growth on a
large acreage
Such crops as spring wheat,
oats and bariey in the Great Plain
area, when following corn, have
consistently given higher yields
as compared with other methods
cf preparing a seed bed for these
crops. Very often these small
grain crops have yielded the high
est or approximately the highest
yield when grown on disked corn
land, and when the cost of pre
paration is considered, this plan
was also found to be productive
of "the greatest profit. There
fore, in the growing of corn much
importance is attached to the
fact that it leaves the field in ex
cellent condition for the crop fol
lowing.
In the experiments conducted
at these 14 field stations, the op
tions at each station were made op
erations at each station' were
made as uniform as possible,
the main. difference being the
choice in the seed used. At most
stations early maturing varities
were planted, this -being absolut

ritory. The corn was harvested
when matured or when growth
was stopped by frost. The date
of planting was fairly uniform

of the Exposition Is to show not only

June l.The distance between the
plants at the various stations
varied according to the locality,
jand the amount of moisture avail
able in the soil, and upon the ex
pectation of producing grain.
At Judith Station in Montana, the
corn was not expected to produce
grain and the stand was thinned
to a distance of 0 inches between
plants. However, in the south
ern stations, where the season is
much longer and the amount of
water available less, the distance
between plants was increased un
til in some cases it was fully 2
inches. The various methods of
preparing the land for planting
cor,n are giving in the accompany
ing table which also shows the
cost per acre at 8 stations and llie
total cost of production.
In general farm practice in the
Great Plains aera, corn is
THERE
either
to he siloed or fec| in the bundle
rather than shelled and sold o:i
the market, For thai reason the
cost of corn here computed is for
corn in the shock. In arriving at
the total cost of production
in
bushels per acre, 7ft to To pounds
to a bushel were allowed. A lix
ed wage of $2 per day for a man
and $1 a day for horse was adopt
ed in arriving at the cost of pre
paring the land seed was charged
at the rate of 22 cents per acre
interest and taxes on the land in
vestment calculated at 8 per cent,
on a valuation of $20 per acre
and deterioration and repairs to
the binder at 15 cents per acre.
The wages allowed the man and
team were considered sullicient
to cover the item of deterioration
of other farm equipment.
The average farm price of corn
on December 1 in the four states
of North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska and Kansas for the past
10 years was 51 cents per bush
el. Corn in the sock is figured
at 40 cents per bushel, since ii
is estimated th'at it costs ap
proximately 11 cents per bushel
for husking, and putting corn in
the bin. The value of corn fod
der or stover is difficult to esti
mate, but the farm price of hay
in the above-named states on Dec
ember 1 for the past 10 years was
about $6.22 per ton. Estimating
that corn stover, of quality pro
duced in the dry farming sections,
is worth 2-3 as much as hay, the
value of fodder or stover is com
puted to be about $4.00 per ton.
In accompanying table of the
comparative co&t per acre for
producing corn by different meth
ods, it is shown that with grain
worth 40 cents per bushel in the
farmer's bins on December 1 corn
which was grown on listed land
at 8 of the stations must only pro
duce 15 bushels in order to cover
the cost of production, whereas
the »pring plowed land requires
some 17.8 bushels, fall-prowed
18,7 bushels. Summer-tilled
has charged against it
twice as much as the listing
or 30,9 bushels.
is something helpful and
inspiring for every one at the
Exposition. Said Vice Presi
dent Marshall recently: "Who­
ever can, even at a sacrifice of some
thing which for the moment appears
necessary, should come to see a real
work of art never equaled, even by a
mirage. If there be any one in Amer
ica with a thirst for knowledge and for
beauty and a longing for a liberal edu
cation, such a one can obtain it here.
"This is the university of the world.
It has a chair fully endowed to meet
the wants and needs of each. The eye,
the ear. the mind, the heart, the soul,
each may have its horizon here enlarg
ed. I came to bear a message. I re
main to become a student I leave the
feet of this Gamaliel of all expositions
with regret" And Miss Helen Keller,,
who, as all know, Is both blind and
deaf, having acquired the faculty of
speech, although she has never heard
any one speak, said of her visit to the
Exposition that it was the most inspir
ing period of her life. Said Dr. Fred
erick J. V. Skiff: "Here the world Is
shown In epitome. The visitor from
whatever realm here enters into his na
tive land."
Apart from Its costly and compre
hensive displays, the great Exposition
Is an inspiration in itself. In its archi
tectural beauty the Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition surpasses any
of its predecessors. At night the great
Tower of Jewels stands out satin
white, sparkling with a thousand
changing colors, as batteries of search
lights play upon this pyramidal monu
