Vast Riches in Corn.

The greatest hoard of the yellow
metal ever gathered in any country

ON CORN CULTIVATION.

How 20 cultivate corn 10 the best
advantage Is a question very much
alive. IL seems that no rule can be
laid down which is best. The object
of cultivation is TO produce the most
favorable conditions for the growth
OF the corn. and while the ideal condi-
ton is largely the same always. the
methods OF reaching Il are many and
vary according To- surrounding circum-
stances. conditions and methods OF
previous tillage.
The condition 90 be attained Is TO
hold In the soil the fullest amount OF
moisture that does not retard the
growth OF the crop. and TO keep the
weeds from growing. Every farmer
knows that by blowing mp the weeds
he destroys them and that by main
tanning a surface mulch he keeps the
moisture In the ground.
Knowing the object sought. every
one growing corn should carefully
study the conditions prevailing In his
own fields and use such methods that.
In his best judgment will turn these
conditions 20 good account The meth

edge and seeks to apply II To- specific
cases.

of cultivation and apply the one that
