The Corn Crop.

The corn crop is the most important
crop grown in this country. for the
reason that it gives not only a large
amount of grain but also larger pro-
portion of long food than any other.
No matter how low price corn may
reach in the future, Its value as COM
bination" crop will always make il de-
sirable on the farm. Ii thrives on a
greater variety of soils and over q
larger extent Of territory than any
other staple crop, aud Is a substitute
for many articles that can not be pro-
duced in some sections. Ii is almost
exclusively an American plant and is
source of wealth and q security
against famine. and places this couu-
try in position TO which no rival can
attain. The very ease with which il is
grown and its adaptability to nearly all
sections have caused much careless
ness in It's cultivation To properly
cultivate crop OF corn means to thor
oughly clean the land of weeds and
grass. Corn should therefore DO grown
in rotation with other crops and the

WEEKLY CROP nULIFTYM.

Washington dispatch: The signal
Office weekly weather crop bulletin,
issued to-day, reports the weather for
the past week generally favorable for
all growing crops. Reports show i'm
proved conditions over tho preceding
week, although the cold weather in the
extreme northern sections has probably
retarded the growth of corn. In the
wheat regions OF Minnesota and Dakota
the conditions were generally favorable
for the rapid growth of oil crops, In
the corn states of the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys the weather was gen.
orally favorable, although more rain il
needed in the southern portions Of
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Missouri.

cultivatIng Sorghum.

So far as possible the cultivation
should begin early. Even under fay
orable circumstances sorghum plants
make but slow growth and they need
all the encouragement possible. If
the soil has been well prepared and
carefully planted. so that it is left in a
good filth. the cultivation can nearly
always be commenced with . harrow.
In great majority of cases the har-
row can be used earlier than the Guilt
vator and will require less time while
II will work closer around the plants
than can ordinarily be done with cul-
tivator.
In raising sorghum it is quite an item
TO keep the weeds down while the
plants are young, and when the condi-
ton OF the soil will admit the harrow
is the best implement to do this. The
more thoroughly the weeds are de-
stroyed at the start the easier they can
be kept down and the better the con-
dtion that the soil can be kept in.
Except in wet season, when it Is abb
solutely necessary to use the diamond
plow in order to destroy the weeds and
SSoA AuG CulLlNAlOT
should be used, stirring the surface of
the soil as thoroughly as possible and
keeping reasonably level. At the first
working, at least, care should be taken
to work as close as possible to the
plants, taking care, of course, not to
cover the plants. Usually the first
three civilizations should be done dur
ing the first four or five weeks of
growth. Once the plants get we'll
started TO grow they will grow very
rapidly, and in short time will shade
the ground so that the weeds will make
very little growth. and under ordinary
conditions one more cultivation will
generally be all that is necessary. But
sufficient cultivation must be given to
keep the weeds down and have the
soil mellow.
AT first the plants are very small and
tender and need clean mellow soil in
order TO grow well. and the surest
plan is TO commence when the plants
and weeds are small II the weeds are
allowed to grow and get good start
the work Of keeping clean. as we'll as
mellowing the soil, will be matoeIlly
increased. so that it is quite an item to
keep clear from the start and this can
only he done by commencing early |
and repeating sufficiently often to keep |
down the weeds and loosen the soil up |

CHICAGO, Dec. ga dispatch from
Omaha, Neb., says: "The failure of several
Nebraska banks within week has caused
considerable uneasiness throughout the
state. These failures, however, are not due
to financial stringency, and, in some in
ST tances, it looks as though there was de
liberate purpose to defraud on the part OF
those conducting the institutions. The
state laws governing private banking are
very lax. The statute requires that all
corporations engaged in banking shall
annually make a report under oath 10
he state auditor of their resources an,
liabilities. There is no provision for state
inspection, and, owing to this oversight
mushroom banks have sprung into exist
ence. Ever since the big swindle perpe-
trated by the Valparaiso bankers, less than
month ago. the press Of the state has been
vigorously urging the need of q revision of
the banking laws, and one of the first mat
ters which will be acted upon by the coming

portant subject"
