Deep or Shallow Culture For corne

Deep or Shallow Culture For Corn"
Shallow culture, for the following
reasons:
l. In the average season o larger
yield will be obtained.
2. The plants are able to withstand
drouth with less damage.
8. Cutting the roots OF the corn
plant is avoided. In large number
of experiments made at the Missouri,
New York and Illinois stations, it has
been clearly shown that the cutting or
pruning of the roots is in every in
stance injurious to the corn plant.
The extont of the injury will be largely
governed by the amount of moisture
there is in the soil at the time the
roots are grown. In very dry weather
the injury is serious. In wet weather
it is of comparatively little conse-
quence.
4. An acre of corn can be kept free
from weeds and properly crushed on
the surface by surface tillage for less
money and with less effort than by
deep tillage.
5. The land is left in a condition to
be better protected from washing and
more easily handled the next season,
or can be sown to grass, wheat or
oats very much more conveniently
than if ridged, as will be the case in
deep tillage. Experiments at the Mis-
souri, station show that by shallow TIL
lage the moisture within the first foot
OF soil is larger in dry seasons than in
similar deep titled plots. This is pre-
sumably due to the fact that the mulch
formed by shallow tillage implement
is more evenly distributed over the
surface, more uniform in depth. more
perfect, and thereby more effective
than from the ordinary deep tilling
cultivators. When these deep tillage
implements ere used, the fine earth
that should be spread evenly over the
surface is instead thrown in ridges,
and the furrows are left bare to eva
porate the moisture
In the best corn growing sections
OF Missouri, some form of shallow TIL
lage is almost universally practiced
now, whereas ten years ago this sys-
TEN was ridiculed by the most expert
enced corn growers.
1t should not be forgotten, however,
that the weeds must be kept down. If,
owing to long continued wet weather,
the weeds get the start of the farmer,
he must use thai system of tillage
which will most effectually and most
promptly destroy these pests. Often
times deep tillage at this iuncture is
necessary. As. soon as the weeds have
been completely killed, ,thowever, the
land should be made as nearly level as
possible and kept in that condition
throughout the remainder of the sea.
son.
The old theory that in dry times
deep tillage was necessary in order to
plow the moisture up to the surface, I"
is radically wrong. Any moisture
brought to the surface at this timo
will be quickly evaporated. Any roots
that are cut in the process will; prove
very injurious to the plants, and deep
tillage at such a time is the worst
thing that could be done. Professor
H. j. Waters, in Farm, Field and
Fireside.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.


When q piece of embroidery is

placed on top of three OF four thick
