plural was decided by the International Gladiolus Soci ety some years ago the word gladiolus would be both sing ular and plural I have found it pays to re move all the foliage down to within two or three inches of the soil before you start dig ging For this purpose I use one of the snap type run ners which have a steel blade cutting down on a flat plate The foliage when clean and free from thrips and diseases can be to the home compost heap Otherwise the leaves will need to be burned to prevent rcinfeslnlioa next year The best Implement for limine gladiolus dah lias carinas etc Is a garden fork Youll do far less dam age with the latter than you would with a shovel By digging in late October the stems will still be firmly attached to the corms When you remove them from the ground

Representative for York County Along with many York County com growers I took in the special Corn Day program this week at Leavers Farm near Com yield were high there this year Growth all through the season was good with lots of moisture on ft well drained soil I think the point thai came out most clearly was on plant populations close lo the right thickness of stand is a tricky business with varying sizes of seed and planter plates often not well suited to it With the same planter used at Leavers plants per acre with different hybrids ranged from about sixteen to forty thousand Rod of these extremes gave poor yields The problem costs us a lot of com every year Trials of different hybrids showed again that the early ones put up the most grain with less hulk for silage Corn here in York this year is generally quite good Silage put in last week had well matured grain and on well drained soils good tonnage too Richard Udora lias combined some already but only a little to get started We have some top crops on the east side of this year I expect that they will yield right up with crops in the south 1 1 in I have a higher heat unit rating Wet weather stopped wheat seeding

treat bulbs for gladiolus Here we have a tiny Insect which Is hard to see and which does a tremendous amount of dam age in comparison to Its size Its a sucking Insect which removes the plant juices from the leaves You can tell If have been attacking the leaves because it will create a silvery streaked con dition and the blossoms are often discolored blotched or deformed this time the remaining leaves will come easily to gether with the old conns which were pi tinted in the spring For Ihc average small gar den the best way to store idem is to place each variety in separate mediumsized pa per bogs To each bag odd of live per cent DDT dust Hie hag you use would ho about the same size as fivepound sugar bag lie sure and shake vigorously so that a fine coaling of the DDT dust will completely cover all sides the conns For amateur gardener who specializes in gladiolus wooden seedling flats are per- haps the best Ive also seen people who have made up special flats metal screening on the bottom In this way you dont place them more thai two or three deep In Hals or the I rays The Ideal temperature for storing gladiolus wilt be from to degrees hut this Is hard to achieve in most modern homes The tern can go higher with out loo much harm but a damp cellar should be avoided as this will provide the Ideal condition for diseases to start Ive found It pays to make thorough check every

Ontario increases more and more attention is on the involved in handling and harvesting ihe coin A majority of the grain corn is still harvested by picking the cobs and storing them in cribs This system while considered by some to be old fashioned has some advantages Not considering the labour required to handle the com it is cheap er to store in cribs than in grain bins on the farm Drying is nalrna and thus cheaper The coin is readily acceptable to all buyers Likely the major problem in crib storage is controlling birds and rodents However share of corn harvested by picker- shelters and

on the cob Experts say the ideal mat urity for field shelling is at Ihe percent mois ture level If you pick your corn harvesting ef ficiency is highest when corn is al per cent moisture Field shelling makes some means of drying absolutely essential unless you store it as high moisture corn in an airtight silo With the cool damp weather common at corn harvesting season moisture has to be removed from the corn Various drying systems are available You can have it cuslom dried where facilities exist in your area If you dont consider the initial cost of Die equipment for drying the actual drying operation costs about the some for or cus tom drying The integrated harvesting system a home dryer makes possible has some advantages But careful cost studies have shown that you cant afford to own dryer unless you put at least 10000 bushels a through it And in estimating the size of dryer you need allow for drying capacity about percent below your harvesting capacity This allows for matcbing drying harvesting capacities equally in case of down lime with harvesting equipment or lost lime due lo bad You will requite storage for wet coin equal to about one days harvesting capacity You will
