The Escape of Moisture From Soils
Bearing Crops.

Several experiment stations have dem>
orstrated the fact that moisture escapes
much more rapidly from soils bearing
says an exchange. The Investigations re-
rerred to have shown that scotland and
soil bearing different crops always main-
tain less moisture than cultivated soil of
the same character 1t is undoubtedly
true, says a late United States farmers
bulletin, that the injurious effect of weed
is due fully as much to the moisture which
they withdraw from the soil as to the plant
food which they consume. The poor
growth of crops near hedgerows and WOODS
is due largely TO withdrawal from the soil
of moisture required for The proper growth
Of the crops. II is a wen-knoWn fact that
the culture of crops in orchards may prove
injurious to fruit trees, especially in dry
seasons, This is due mainly to the with
drawal by the crops of moisture needed
by the trees. Moisture may be said to be
the great controlling factor in the growth
of plants, and in humid regions like our
own. which is occasionally subject to
drought. the great aim of the farmer
should be the economzing of the soiP $
moisture. Subsoiling is perhaps one OF
Che most important of the means to this
end Its influence may be described, as
given by the Wisconsin experiment station
TO be as follows: % 1t increases the stor-
age capacity of the soil for moisture. (2)
1t Increases the rate at which water will
sink into the soil. 90 1t decreases the
rate at which it may be brought back to
the surface. 1t also increases the amount
of moisture available TO crops since
plants are capable of utilizing a larger
proportion of the moisture present in loose
and coarsely grained soils than in fine
grained and compact soils. In soils which
are underlaid at a comparatively short
distance below the surface by a subsoil
which the roots of plants penetrate with
difficulty and from which they can draw
little nourishment. and also causing the
roots 10 spread out near the surface, sub
soiling encourages deep roofing. and thus
enlarges the stock of water as well as
pant food at the command of the plant
To prevent loss of water from the soil bv
evaporation, it is necessary to check the
rise of water by capillarity to the surface
of the soil. This can be accomplished to
some extent by subsoiling but in order
to continue and complete the work that
the subsoiling has partly accomplished.
the surface of the soil should be kept COW
cred with mulch of loose, well-broken
up soil by means of frequent cultivation.
This not only allows root growth and pene-
tration, but by breaking up the continu
ity of capillary tubes In the soil conserves
and economies the moisture in IT,

The most advantageous soil is best indi-
Gated by observing the condition where
the pecan or hickory naturally thrives, says
the Horticulturist. Its habitat is usually
on made anuvial lands or river bottoms,
where the soil is rich, deep, friable, moist,
but not water-soaked, except from an oc-
casional overfiow-an event by no means
unfavorable to its thrift when not too pro-
fonged or OF oVerfrequent occurrence; still,
as a tree it adapts itself and win sue
coed satisfactorily in growth and bearing
in varying degree upon every class of
soils. We have seen good results both on
thin, sandy lands and upon pine flats I'm
questionably, however, the deep alluviums,
or river lands, even those liable to occa-
sional overflow, and such as are in conse-
quence of little value for other purposes,
constitute those of greatest value to pant
the pecan upon, and l draw special atten-
tion to fact of such deep significance.
For the rest, it is not advisable to select
land to plant on with too compact a sub
soil, likely 10 hold surface water. or keep
ing the roots soaked beneath too contin.
uously, though even these least desirable
Of all lands to plant on are not barren of
good results. A happy mean in respect to
moisture afforded is the point to aim at,
and a fertility natural if it be possible, or
Otherwise approximated by due and regular
addition of fertilizers. 1t is self-evident
that the pecan calls for about the same
draft upon the soil as would a crop of
corn. The pecan is a gross FODDER you can
not expect TO raise a premium crop OF corn
without a fertile soil, and in this respect
the pecan is exactly similar in its require
ments.

central part of the ear of corn. and found
that the kernels from the tip of the ear
yielded more than either of the others,
says the American Cultivator. At the sta
items in Kansas and Ohio stations they
found lhe same result, the tip kernels in
Ohio producing TWO bushels of corn more
to the acre than those on the center of
the cob. They also proved stronger and
more reliable in terminating.
In both Kansas and Ohio the butt grains
produced a larger yield per acre than the
central grains, while in one test in New
York the central grains gave a bushel
more to the acre than the butt grains, and
we believe in another test this was nearly
reversed.
We were brought up, as many farmers
were, to reject the tip and butt kernels in
painting seed. but, il the stations are cor
rect, we were selecting our seed by a
wrong method, and were grading down in
stead of up. II this is true of field corn,
il is likely 10 be also of our garden sweet
corn, and gardeners should take note of
il, and of another fact which was brought
out in these experiments. The corn grown
from the kernels on the lip of the ear

well known that all classes of Iegumes-
clovers, cow-peas, vetches and beans OF
various sorts-have the power of absorb
ing and fixing this nitrogen by means Of
organisms which live in the root nodules
of these plants. From the Investigations
of scientists it seems that different organ
isms are especially suited to the different
kinds of leguminous plants, and that to in
sure the greatest growth of the plants the
earth must contain a sufficient quantity Of

Rroom corn in southern Georgin.

H. NJ. r. asks how broom corn is grown
and if ii is adapted 10 cultivation on pine
lands of Southern Georgia." . Broom
corn can certainly be grown on pine"
land IL the land is only rich enough. Such
land as produces corn or sorghum profit
ably. 1t is grown just like sorghum.
Rows four feet apart and the stalks aver
aging about six inches n the row.
Doubtless II. NJ. IT. has noticed that
prices for broom corn is unusually high
this season. and he may conclude that the
same prices will prevail after the next
crop has been harvested. But this is alto
gether unlikely, as no doubt the acreage
has been greatly increased in those sec
tons of the country where broom corn has
been a staple crop for many years.
There is no reason whatever why the
South should not grow her own brooms,
and il a sufficient number of farmers in
any particular locality would grow the
corn, TO warrant a factory 10 work up the
product, no doubt the crop would pay a
very fair profit; in all probability, more
than the same area would in cotton.
