THO ROUGH SUMMER CULTIVATION

The science of cultivation lies In kill
ing the weeds and conserving the moist
ure In the soil. Never has this been So
well demonstrated as with Us this season
In New Hampshire, where drouth long
prevailed, and where to grow crops
means emphatically to conserve the
moisture In the soil. Our data are drawn
from about thirty acres which we have
In corn. In all OF the work connected
with the experimentation we have In
progress we see the effect Of thorough
cultivation and the destruction Of weeds.
We are making moisture determina-
tions twice every week on about hun
dred plats, and the results show conclu-
sively that it Is possible to conserve the
moisture in the soil by effective cultiva-
ton. Plats that have been cultivated
twice per week show 3 to 6 per cent
more moisture than those cultivated
every ten days and from to 10 per cent
more moisture than the plat receiving
no cultivation at all. We also note q
more healthy appearance Of the corn on
those plats frequently cultivated. The
stalks are stronger In appearance and
IN growth and will doubtless mature a
larger crop.
We want to suggest to readers here
not TO neglect cultivation during the
summer months when 1t Is so dry and
hot. Cultivation will be the one method
to save the crop. Keep always good
effective mulch by constant cultivation.
Keep out the weeds so the plants can
get the full benefit Of all the moisture In
the soil. Keep ut It. Work constantly,
and though 1t Is hot and dry, we believe
you will be able to bring your crop Of
corn to fair state of maturity. We
know the weather will be responsible
for a shortage in the crop, but the real
practical. scientific farmer can even gel
the best of the weather.-New England

which they doubtless kept their hunger

any particular discomfort from the

that all they wanted was drink OF tea.
