y Maize, or Indian corn, is a remarkable plant, botanieally as well
,as BKrieuliurally.;
. It is entirely unlike any other crop and has very few relatives in
the plant world. ;
The early explorers found eorn in general cultivation in all the
agricultural area of Noi?h and South America, but no wild form
haft been discovered.
; Where maizef originated is still a question.
(Possibly in Mexico, where the grass called teosihte crosses read
ily with maize, and may be the ancestral form.
; And possibly in Peru, where- peeimens of cultivated corn are
fonid in ancient graves, and where, probably ages before the Pyra
mids were built, agriculture wa& carried to such a degree of per
fection es would, amaze the modern world.
The gold 'of; the Incas made spain the wealthiest and most
powerful nation in Europe. But Peru held another treasure much
.more valuable toi the nations of Europe than the golden booty of
Pizarro. It was the potato! Put nobody understood the value of
the potato, and its Peruvian origin was generally 'forgotten before
the plant beeame generally well known.
j The potato and corn were the basis of the ancient Peruvian
nation, as they 'have now beeome the great food crops of nearly all
tin; world. j
''Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be
taken and the'other left spoke the Master, referring to the custom
. that was then older than history and still persists in that region of
grinding grain irVa hand mill by two or more women; the grain
referring to corn as to other grains. The women1 ground and still
grind the grain at daybreak and accompanied and still accompany
;the grinding with songs and weird chanting. In the towns of the
Neari East, where a number of women join in grinding with the
Jargcr mills, they serve the purposes of the alarm clock for their
sleepy masters. The Scriptures mention the want of the noise as a
mtrk of desolation. (Jer. 25:10; Rev. 18:22.)
, The Hebrew j word for corn included corn, grain, seeds, peas,
beans, cleansed corn, provisions or victuals.
Parched cornfwag r-part of the food of the Israelites.
Now corn is raised almost everywhere; it grows at an elevation
f over 12,000 feet in the Andes mountains; it is raised at water
level on the margins of all the seven sea
j ."More Cows, More Corn, More Clover, More Hogs, More Money,"
is a slogan that rang through a number of corn shows in Oregon
and Washington for several years, before and in the early part of
the war. 1 ' ,
At a corn show in Wallat Walla in 1915, J. IJ. Boyer, of College
' Place, Wash., took the first prize for the highest yield to the acre
149. bushels of shelled corn, 56 pounds to the bushel. .
A, that time, Mr. Boyer said the most important thing in grow
ing corn in this section is the selection of seed. The selection should
be. dore in the field; taking the best earswhere there are two or
more cars to the stalk; then dry in a heated room, and keep dry.
Deep1 plowing, good cultivation, and proper soil makes tip the rest
of the story.
The district around Salem can grow as good corn, and as much
to the acre. Last' year, a poor corn year, for reasons the reader
v ill find by reading the Salem Slogan pages, Wm. Blake, five miles
below .Salem, grew as much as 75 bushels to the acre, and averaged
50 bushels.
' J. O. Shnider, Howell Prairie, sa-s he raises here as eood com
as the' best Minnesota cornand he is from Minnesota and was
"raised ia a eorhfieId." , He turned off last season 251 pound
. hogs at 7 months, fed on the corn he raised,
i (Jilbert & Patterson, bonanza farmers, grow corn successfully ev
ery year, over in iPdlk county.
- . A. N.Fulkerson, out on Route 4, tells how he swats old H. C.
Ij.; with corn.
: i. JL V. Bliv'en, below Salem, is selling his feed corn now at $1.96
a Imshel. and lis seed combat $3.36 to 44.48 a bushel. And corn in
'Chicago i $1.38 to $1.39. Our growers get the benefit of the
freight, an.I will for a long time to come.
: JcsKe Iluber rawed corn in Ohio. He has raised 80 busliels to
.thr at r neir Salem, and he says that, with proper seed selection.
a yitia as nign as me aerage crop of Eastern corn can be mattwed
1 1 etc.
;k The average yield for the whole of the United States is 24 bush
els t the acre.
:? A. IJ. Southwick. from over in Polk county, has sold seed com
as high as 10 cents a pound, or $5.60 a Wshel, and he has raised 60
luslicl to the acre. He says this is a good eorn countrv.
. .But tlie reader should study all the articles by and from inter
views with the actual growers around Salem. It is very important
that; in building up a symmetrical prosperity for the country of
wb.eh Salem is the center, more and more corn should be grown.
And it can be grown profitably with handsome direct returns and
st'tll more alluring indirect returns.
T "More Cows, More Corn, More Clover, More Hogs, More Monev. "
That is a splendid slogan.
Others by constructive thinking
or by combining thought with
hand.
But all of us depend upon
our eyes for our success in what
ever vocation we follow.

Polecats Lead in Clou
Rivalry at Willamette
Have fruit trees been damaged by
thp record cold weather which, a
few weeks ago. crep over this por
tion of Oregon?
Orchardists from all over the
state have been sending twigs, buds
ard limbs to experts at Oregon Ag
ricultural college to get information
as to the extent their trees nave
been injured. They also ask for In
lormation as to what treatment
should be given their trees.
A report of these investigations at
O. A. C. has just been made public
by Prof. W. S. Drown, chief of the
horticultural division.
In his preliminary report Frof.
Brown says that the most serious
injury was found in the trunk just
above the snow line and in the main
Hmbx. It shows as discolored bark,
cambium layer and sometimes the
wood itself. The tender growing
points and sometimes the inner por
tion cf the frfiit spur have been af
fected especially on sweet cherries
and pears.
Injuries Vary In Extent.
"All praduations of injury are
found." says the report. "Among
the causes for this difference are
condition of tree at time of freez
ing, variety of tree and location. In
a few Instances the portion of the
tree just above the snow line was
entirely killed, while in others the
bark and wood were not so seriously
hurt as to prevent recovery, though
be crop will not set for next year.
"In some trees, the limbs on the
south and, southwest sides of the
trees may be killed while the remain
der will recover. On some limbs
patches of bark may die. having lat
er to be cut out and painted and the
place bridge grafted."
But little to remedy the damage
can be done just now. the report re
cites. Pruning except on neglected
trees, is not advised until the ex
tent of the Injury appears in April
or May. Limbs that are needed lat
er might be cut now and the unin
jured buds in the tops will be need
ed .to help pull up the sap in early
spring. The more of these buds. re
moved the less will be the circula
tion pull. The sap should be taken
to all parts or the tree to prevent
drying out and to give the, injured
camDium-a cnance to recover.
Pruning 1m Xot Advlfted.
"If the trees has been killed It
It only throwing away money to
prune when pruning can do no good"
the report continues. "Further
more, large cuts made by removing
big branches expose considerable tis
sue to drying out. thus injuring cir
culation of the sap.' '
Badly neglected trees that show
but slight damage may be thinned
out. but if hard hit no pruning is
aavisea. wnen the condition of the
tree is definitely determined later in
the season all wounds made by re
moving larger limbs should be paint
ed over with white lead and linseed
oil. sometimes bordeaux which keeps
out fungi.
A statement on methods of prun
ing the Injured tree will be issued
by the station horticulturists as soon
as the character of the injury defi
nitely appears.
