How to Hoe Corn.

When | was boy, and first went into
the field to hoe corn, was quite puzzled
to know what my father meant when he di-
rected us to be sure and "hoe where the
corn wasn't" But after following him
few days and noticing the pains he took to
have all the ground well stirred as well as
the weeds cut up, and particularly when
saw how careful he was not to disturb the
ground deeply very near the young plants,
| understood his meaning. In long ac-
quaintanee with corn | have observed
enough to make me think he was right
The weeds must be cut up,root and branch,
to have good corn, that's certain, and the
ground must be loose enough to let the
heat go in, and the moisture to pass up
from below; and to allow the spreading
roots to make their way easily through the
soil in search for good picking. But I've
seen good many dash away with their
hoe close around the stalk, when every cut
there, if two inches below the surface, must
have broken number of the growing roots.
1t certainly cannot be of much use to feed
corn well, if you then go right to work and
cut off its mouths for the roots are mouths
to the plant So | always cultivate lightly
where the roots have extended, which is
about the length that the stock is above the
ground, and when the corn is up breast
high, | wouldn't let man go through my
field with plow, if he'd pay wages for do
ing it and find himself do not believe in
hilling corn-making the field like crop
of young flag staffs planted on small pima
cles. The crop has grown up into the air
where it is intended to stay, and it isn't
natural to partially bury it alive. People
do it to prop it up, so that the wind will
not level it. But if it be left alone it will
do its own propping by sending out extra
roots just above the surface, which go out
and anchor it all around. | have seen
field that was hilled laid fiat by storm,
while the next to it, that grew naturally,
stood up after the blow as militia captain
on training day. When it is hiled it will
try to send out second growth of support
ing rots but neither the first nor the second
will then become strong enough to be of
much use,
l therefore try to leave my ground nearly
level and thus also save the roots the trou-
bic of diving down again to get below the
gullies which are sometimes left after the
first plowing Selected.
