Hints About Corn.
=.

One object of a corn crop should be to
prepare the land for the crop that is to
follow, as the corn requires constant cul-
tivation and leaves the ground clean and
free from grass and weeds. The first pre-
paration should be deep blowing and
thorough pulverization of the soil, which
permits of greater feeding capacity to the
roots and allows the plants to go deeper
down for MOISTURE The adherents of
deep and shallow cultivation of the crop,
after it is well under way, now admit that
the mode preferred depends on the kind
of soil and the rainfall. 1t is now known
that the corn roots should not be dis
turbed or broken, as is done by deep Gull
tivation, but that when the season is dry
the shallow cultivation, or simply keeping
about an inch of the soil loose, conserves
moisture and assists the crop by the top
soil serving as mulch to arrest the proc
ess of evaporation. This will also keep
down the grass and weeds. If the soil is
lightly stirred after each rain a vigorous
crop cannot be severely injured unless by
a long-continued drought.

AIanures For Corn.

An old piece of sod land plowed in the
fall in order to destroy the worms and
allow the frost to pulverize it, and the
land well-manured and cross-plowed in
the spring, if not too wet, is conceded to
be the best for corn. The roots of the
compliant interlace each other and cover
the whole ground, feeding on all kinds of
plant food that can be appropriated. Any
kind of cheap fertilizer will give the plants
a good send-off if applied in the hill. If
the soil is rich and has been well MANFRED
the cheapest substance TO use in the hill
is land plaster, as it attracts moisture and
assists in disintegrating the particles of
plant food already existing in the soil.
As the sod begins to rot the corn-roots ap-

SENATORS German, Vest, Vance and
others are vigorously combating the
growing sentiment among the Demo-
Gratis in the House to accept the Senate
tariff bill as better than no Legislation
on the subject. They argue that the
Senate bill is more Objectionable than
the existing law, as it increases the
.dnties on articles in which the masses
are directly interested-notably iron.
cotton and wool. They contend that
when the bill is referred to a conference
committee, the Democratic conferees
should be instructed to take a firm
stand in behalf of the necessaries of
life, and let the Republicans take all
the responsibilities of framing a tariff
bill to suit themselves in the next Con-
gress. The other side of the question
is represented by Representatives Will
son, of this State, and Catchings. of
Mississippi, who arc Of the opinion that
the Republicans would be greatly dis
appointed if the House should agree
to the Senate bill, and for that reason
they favor doing so, as the measure
contains some good thing and is there
fore better than no bill. They contend
that as long as the Republicans claim
to have carried the election on their
tariff ideas that they should be allowed
TO pass their bill. This is the status of
the matter at this time, but those who
are in position to know say that the
Senate bill will never be considered by
the House.
