CORN PLANTING.


In discussing matters pertaining
directly to the interests Of the far
mers Of the South, I come once
more to the subject of corn PLAN
ting, and desire to call attention
to the Importance of corn growing
and to its many benefits to the
agriculturists of the Southern
States.
First and foremost, to grow corn
at profit, a rich, friabIe soil is
needed, and this should be tho
roughly plowed. ana perhaps fer
tilted. When planting corn one
must be sure that the seed is
sound and of the best varities for
the locality. Do not throw up
high ridges to plant in, as broad,
well-shaped ridge, four or five
inches in height, is the best.
When practicable, use corn plan
ter for dropping the seed in the
drill, and let it be set to drop the
grains from one foot to twenty
inches apart in the drill, or closer
or wider. ss may suit the fancy of
the farmer.
It is we'll in planting corn to see
that it is not covered too deeply.
A covering an inch and half to
two inches is sufficiently deep for
corn, and when covered it should
be Immediately rolled to firm the
ground around the seed for the re-
tention of warmth and moisture,
and to induce growth.
As soon as the young corn
plants have pushed out through
the earth and are strong and large
enough for the first working, the
first and the best thing the farmer
can do is to run around the young
corn with either "a spring tooth or
harrow, running near enough to
the plants to break and tear up
the top crust of earth which usu-
ally forms in the spring-seas on
newly plowed land, especially if
the season is wet.
/ am we'll aware that on many
places il is the custom to bar of
young corn first, and then to fol-
low soon after throwing the soil
back to the corn rows. This l
consider waste of time, energy,
labor and msney, and to no good
purpose. The progressive farmer
of today cultivates his corn with
improved implements, using the
plow only when absolutely COM
PEELED to, and then probably only
for breaking out the piddles.
The successful corn grower cul-
tivates his corn shallow and often
he carefully keeps all the burrows
and drains open to free his fields
of standing water during seasona
of excessive rains. S
| Fertilizing corn after it is plan
ted and up may b. accomplished
with little expense aud with good
results. As little 8 thing as q
handful of cotton seed placed BY
each hill of corn produces good
results. From 200 to 300 pounds
of cotton seed meal drilled along
on each side of the young corr
plants, if put on at the first work
ing and narrowed into the ground
near the corn, works like magic
on the young plants, increasing
the yield Of grain wonderfully.
In closing this letter on the sub
iect OF corn planting 4 desire t
