At  the  End  of  the  Harvest 
Which  Will  It  Be— 
A  large  yield  of  well  fill-  or  A  small  yield  of  poorly 
ed,  sound  ears  of  Corn  jj~  filled,  immature  nubbins? 
Sound  Corn  of  high  feeding  quality  can  be  produced  only 
when  the  soil  supplies  sufficient  available  plant  food. 
Every  200-pound  bag  of  V-C  Fertilizer  used  per  acre  on 
Corn,  will  produce  under  good  cultural  conditions,  an  increase 
of  10  bushels  of  grain,  equivalent  to  100  pounds  of  pork. 
Compare  the  cost  of  the  Bag  of  Fertilizer  with  what  you 
get  for  the  100  pounds  of  pork. 
You  can  make  this  profit.  Ask  your  dealer,  or  write  our

Tightening  a  Leaky  Boat 
I  have  a  20-ft.  motor  boat  which  leaks 
badly  when  the  motor  runs,  due  to  vibra¬ 
tion  ;  it  is  built  of  clapboards,  and  leaks 
in  places  where  boards  lap  over.  Could 
you  tell  me  some  way  to  remedy  it V 
Some  told  me  to  cover  it  over  with  three- 
ply  canvas  duck  and  then  paint  it.  How 
do  you  think  it  would  work  and  last? 
Bernhard’s  Bay,  N.  Y.  H.  P.  H. 
If  the  boat  leaks  when  motor  is  run¬ 
ning,  the  rivets  must  be  loose.  A  boat 
with  an  even  bottom,  like  a  canoe,  is 
easily  covered  with  canvas,  but  it  will  be 
hard  to  make  a  satisfactoi-y  job  of  it 
with  a  clinker-built  boat.  Moreover,  the 
canvas  will  wear  out  rapidly  on  the  edges 
of  the  boards.  For  canvasing  a  very  light 
material,  as  used  for  sails  on  canoes, 
should  be  used.  First,  clean  off  boat  and 
paint  with  a  heavy  white  lead  paint ; 
put  canvas  on  while  paint  is  wet,  and 
brush  canvas  until  well  stuck  to  paint; 
let  dry  and  give  a  white  lead  paint  over 
canvas.  When  dry,  sandpaper  and  paint 
again,  sandpaper  and  varnish.  * 
I  think  the  boat  could  be  made  tight 
if  the  boards  are  sound  by  taking  out 
the  loose  rivets,  or  all  the  rivets  around 
leaking  spot,  putting  in  new  rivets. 
Where  the  rivet  holes  are  too  big,  plug 
them  up  with  wooden  pegs,  dipped  in 
white  lead,  and  bore  a  new  hole  next  to 
the  peg.  I  tightened  up  a  boat  in  this 
way  that  had  been  leaking  for  three  sea¬ 
sons  bad  enough  to  sink  in  a  few  hours 
The  vibration  of  the  boat  may  be  reduced 
considerably  by  making  a  bigger  engine 
bed.  F.  D.  G.
