CORN CULTURE.


Tao Modern Idea Is to Kill Weeds
and Keep the Soil Well Stirred.
The culture of corn in general sense
consists of doing two things-killing
weeds and stirring the soil. Weeds are
injurious because they consume the
plant food and to that extent they rob
crops They also take large quantities
of water from the soil Stirring the soil
aids in the formation of plant food,
aerates or ventilates the soil, influences
soil temperature, improves filth, and
in measure controls the supply of
moisture With these two leading
thoughts in mind we will let them gov
ern us throughout the corn growing
season. says writer in The New Eng
land Homestead, in preface to more
minute directions in which the follow
ing items occur:
After the soil is well plowed thorough
pulverization~ is necessary. The disk
harrow, the spring tooth and smoothing
harrow, and drag, or roller, make a
good combination for this work. A few
days after planting, just before the corn
plants begin to come through, go over
the field with harrow This helps
with the further pulverization cf the
soil and kills all the little weeds
In week, when the corn is two
inches above the ground go over the
field a second time with the harrow.
This leaves the soil fine and mellow,
the field clean and active, and the corn
plants not hurt particle Begin cult
walton at this stage for an additional
reason viz. stirring the soil to control
the moisture supply. Water comes up
in the soil just as oil in lamp wick. 1t
has capillary fow-that is, little tubes
are found in the soil and water rises
from soil particle to soil particle and
when it gets up to the top of the ground
it vaporizes. In stirring the soil we
simply break off the top of these tubes,
and the fine dirt acts as a mulch, there
by keeping this water in the soil.
About two inches, all things consid
cred, is the best depth for cultivation.
Cultivating in clods or to an unusual
depth destroys the roots and Injuries the
plant Neither does it furnish an effect
i've mulch.
Summing up, the following should be
borne in mind Begin the cultivation
of the corn before planting time, har
row the ground at least twice after
planting, cultivate after every rain to
break the crust-cnltivation is needed
as much to conserve moisture as to kill
the weeds-keep cultivators away from
the corn roots, never plant corn in
clods, have the cultivatcr leave the soil
level and even, but not in ridges. Fight
the weeds; they are the worst enemies
of corn.

TERMINATING SPORES OF EARLY BLIGHT.
merous sharply outlined, dark brown
spots ON the leaves. The late blight
manifests itself as progressive wither-
ing or dying Of the leaves, spreads more
rapidly than the early, and usually pre-
sents readily seen white, moldlike
growth on the underside of the leaves.
Both diseases often appear together,
especially on late varieties. Both of
these diseases are spread by spores.
The figure presented by Professor Lam
son of the New Hampshire station in
his 'Notes ON Apple and Potato Dis
eases" shows the curious shaped spores
of early blight (magnifed) terminating
preparatory to injecting the host plant.
The spores of the late blight are egg
shaped.
Repeated experiments have shown
that both these diseases may be profit
ably controlled by spraying with Dor
deaux mixture.
For early blight on early potatoes
Professor Lamson advises to spray when
the vines are about two-thirds grown
or as soon as the disease makes its APP
pearance. Repeat the spraying in about
two weeks.
For both early and late blight on late
potatoes spray three times-the middle
of July, the LIST of August and the mid
die of August
