' Butter Out of Stamp List Because of British Need WASHINGTON. June 2. (AP) - Secretary Wlckard said the ag riculture department had stopped distributing butter to needy fami lies in order that Great Britain might be supplied with dairy pro duces. Withdrawal of butter from the surplus food list available under the stamp and direct relief dis tribution programs was neces sary, the secretary said, because severe drought conditions east of f PIUS VALUE IN J Advised the Mississippi river had reduced milk production. Butter prices have gone up con siderably in recent weeks, reflect ing, Wickard said, the curtailed production of milk and demands of the British for cheese, evapo rated and dried milk. New Hybrid Type Of Sweet Corn Increases Yield Hybrid sweet corn is being ex tensively planted, following the lead of hybrid field corn, which has increased the yield of farms. Home gardeners may depend upon an increased yield, if they sow hybrid sweet corn, and some varieties have been produced which are among the earliest, and at least rival in delicious flavor the old favorite. Golden Bantam. There is one point about the .hybrid strains, however, which should be considered. Alf plann of a given strain tend to mature within a very brief period. This is fine for the market grower, but home gardeners may prefer la longer period of harvest from a single planting. The hybrids have another merit, resistance to Stewart's disease, and in re gions where this trouble is prev alent, they should be used. Sweet corn is best only when eaten immediately after harvest ing, because the quality and flav or deteriorate rapidly after the cals are pulled from the plants. The higher the temperature, the greater the deterioration and the loss in flavor will usually be at least forty per cent in corn which is obtained in the mar ket. Advice on Planting A patch of six rows, each 13 feet long, need not occupy more than 15 square feet. In normal seasons, planted to the pedigreed strains, it should yield 120 to 180 ears. In both white and yellow kerneled sorts, there are early, late and mid-season varieties. The earliest will have cars ready for table in seventy days, while the larger, later varieties require ninety to one hundred days. The ears are ready for pulling when the silk has turned black. Nothing is gained by planting corn' before both soil and weath er have become thoroughly warm-warm weather, rich soil, anil moderate moisture are best for corn. The seed is quite likely to rot in cold soil. The seeding plants arc very delicate, and cold weather checks their develop ment, so that often later plant ings do better than early ones. Seed may be planted cither In rows or hills. It Is better to en rich poor soil in hills, dropping five or six seeds per hill, spaced 3 feet apart each way. If plant ed In rows, they hould be spaced 2! to 4 feet apart, depending upon the height of the variety, dropping the seeds at the rate of five or six to the foot, and covering them about 2 inches rii-eo. When the plants reach a height of about 4 or S inches, it Is best to thin them to 8 or 12 inches apart, end to keep them hoed until the ears are set. it is considered better to plant corn in blocks of several short rows, side by side, rather Jhan In one long row. The pollen does not fertilize the ears well when planted In slgle rows. A balanced plant food should be applied at the rate of 4 pounds to 100 square feet. Sweet corn is reasonably drought resistant so long as it is cultivated frequently. Enjoy Trip to Lake F. L.

At the same time, a representative of the state de partment will explain details of Oregon's egg grading law and show how farmers can get the most for their eggs once they are produced.
