Success With Corn By Jas. D. McGregor, Clencarnock Stock Farms, Brandon, Manitoba Part I. With the majority of farmers now realizing that the keeping of livestock is necessary for successful farming, there has been the need of a crop which would take the place of the bare summerfallow and at the same time produce a lot of good feed for either horses, cattle, sheep or swine. Corn will do this better than any other crop} The combination of | awards. 4 which we grow. corn and livestock puts the produc-} tion of wheat on a basis which does not méan ruin if the wheat crop falls. Corn which is put in on well prepared land and properly cared for will put the soil in as good or better shape for growing small grain as will the best summerfallow. Says League Is Without Life Dean Tucker, of London, Speaks of Selfishness of the World Some of the greatest evils which af- flict nations today have come out of mansions; the idle and degenerate rich are as great a inenace to society as the degenerate poor; the world needs a uniform social order; jeal- ousies which caused the world war still exist. and the League” of Na- tions is but a great skeleton without life. - These were some of the declarations of Very Rey. Dean Norman Tucker, of London, Ontario, who addressed. a large gatheiing of delegates (o the an- nual meeting of the Social Service Couneil of Canada at Hamilton. Worldly things found a paramount place in the discussions of the people of today, Dean Tuckerr declared, and they were concerned mostly in stocks, dividends, socjal parties, aseball, golf, bridge parties, dance halls, theatres and movies. -He deplored such selfishness which, he sald, was u denial of the spirit of Christianity. Capital and Ia@bor, which should be working in co-operation, were antag- onistic to each other, and adding to social disorder.. Man, he contended, would have to be reconstructed before social order could be regenerated. - Additional Prizes Provided Saskatchewan Aberdeen-Angus Club Decides On More Awards The Saskatchewan Aberdeen-Angus Club has decided to give additional prizes for Aberdeen-Angus classes at the Regina and Saskatoon fairs this summer to encourage the breeding ot this class of cattle. ‘ It was decided to award three prizes of $230, $20 and $10, in addition to the regular prize st, to the boys’ and girls’ Aberdeen-Angus calf classes at the winter fairs to be held at Regina and Saskatoon, and, in addition, $5 will be presented to the owner of each calf exhibited.

This should be worked as soon as possible, in the spring, with the cultivator or disc and then harrowed.

We have had some ex- cellent yields off of manured grain stubble which | was plowed in the spring and well worked.” As a rule ground which is plowed in the fall will produce corn that will mature a week or s0 earlier/ilan that on spring plow- ing.
