THE PRESS,
The Culture of Roots,

The culture OF roots can only be profitable
in good farming. With poor soil, defective
cultivation, weeds, stones, uneven blowing,
and all the obstacles of poor farming, root
crop cannot be grown with profit The ex-
pensiveness of the needed culture cannot be
borne unless the crop reaches at least 1000
bushels per acre. Root crops require heavy
manuring, good blowing, thorough harrow
ing, and the prevention of the growth Of
weeds. There must also be general high cul-
ture of the whole farm to support the live
stock needed to consume the large growth of
roots. Farmers who feel deficient in the re-
spects referred to cannot expect to become
more than beginners in the art of growing
roots. But there must always be beginners.
and every improvement comes after disap.
pointments and failures.
10 grow roots, then, the soil must be in a
good condition. 1t will not do that we use
raw manures alone for these exacting crops.
There must be ample supplies of easily di-
gested soluble food in the soil, and these are
furnished only by previous manurings, or by
the help of proper artificial fertilizers. The
soil must be in condition of unusual fine-
ness and mellowness. 1t must also be freed
from weeds by previous good cultivation, else
the hard labor of wedding between the roots
will exhaust all the return of the crop. If
these requisites are present, it will pay to
grow roots. Ii they are not, it will still pay
to learn how to grow them.
For those who are prepared, or for those
who will begin, the methods are the same.
A piece of fall plowed land should be selected,
or piece of clean stubble should be plowed
as soon as possible. The ground should then
be cross-plowed, and afterw1d opened into
burrows 30 inches apart. In these burrows
manure should be dropped at the rate of six
loads per acre. The burrows are then closed
by the plow, leaving a slight ridge over the
manure to mark its place. The surface is
then smoothed by harrow drawn upon it's
back, the best tool being flexible chain har-
row made for the purpose. The seed-four
pounds per acre of beets or mangels-is then
drilled or sown in a small furrow directly over
the manure; 200 pounds of superphosphate,
bone flour, or guano is scattered about the
drill and the seed is covered. The after.cuti-
walton consists in thinning the plants to 9 or
IL inches apart and keeping the weeds down
severely. By July the broad leaves of the
mangel will meet across the drill and prevent
the further growth of weeds, but the smaller
leaves of the sugar-beet will not do this. If
one root of six pounds weight is grown to
every foot of row the crop will be 81 tons or
1900 bushels per acre. For feeding, crop
OF mangels or sugar beets is worth from 10 to
20 cents bushel, so that the profit of the
crop may easily be estimated. The best man.
gel is the yellow globe-the best beet, Lanes
imperial sugar-beet.-N. Y. Times.

Corn for New England.

The value of corn as a crop for our New
England soil is gradually coming to be appre-
ciated. Mr.. j. f. G. Hyde, the agricultural
editor OF the CongregatiOnGlist, says: eve
are glad to see that farmers in New England
along the Connecticut River are once more
alive to their interests, and are giving up to-
bacco growing and going back to that grand
old crop. Indian Corn. We hope our readers
who raise field crops will decide to raise
corn" .vr r,,. t.t-t-
The Homestead states that at the last meet
ing of the Franklin Harvest Club the culture
OF corn in New England was thoroughly
discussed and some interesting facts were
brought out by men of large experience in
raising the crop. The following is an extract
from the report of the meeting: "Each far
mer brought sample ears Of the kind of corn
he raised, and on comparing notes, while ev-
cry one is liable to think he has s.the best"
lt was conceded that the model seed corn for
New England was small or medium-sized
ear, small cob of good length, and ten or
twelve rows OF kernels. Much interest was
manifested in the statement made by DR..
Nichols in the Journal of Chemistry, that "a
bushe of our sound Northern corn in the ear
is worth as much, fed to stock, as bushel of
shelled corn, such as comes to us from the
South and West"
M. L. Smith, of Smiths Ferry, stated that
He raiseu laSt year lUUU DuShelS OF ears on
seven and one half acres of land, using barn
yard manure principally. His method of plant
ing was in rows three feet, and the hills three
and half apart, leaving three stalks in hill.
Mr. Smith said that it was more profitable to
raise our corn than to buy Western meal,
now that tobacco brings so low price.
John M. Smith of Sunderland. said that by
careful calculations-and he had the figures
and facts to show 1.-THE could raise corn at as
low figure as thirty cents per bushel.
Charles Parsons, Jr., of Conway, said that
on piece of one and one half acres he raised
last year at the rate Of 80 bushels of shelled
corn per acre. He MANFRED heavily, putting
on as much as 20 loads of good barn-yard
manure to the acre; the fodder was very heavy
he estimated three tons, worth at least twenty
dollats.
l.. F. Mellen, of West Springfield, said that
there was more corn raised in New Eng.a
this year than in any year for the last ten, and
thought there would be quite an increase in
the average the coming year.
The plan of using horse-hoes freely through
the season reduced the cost of raising, and
produced more corn. 1t has been ascerlained
that "root pruning" applied to corn, has
the same advantage as when applied to fruit
trees. "-Boston Journal of Chemistru.
