HOW LATE TO PLANT CORN.
A Kansas Farmer Talks On The
Question,

In view Of the fact that some Of the
corn in this locality has yet to be plant
ed the following article from a Kansas
farmer in tho M all and Breeze will be Of
interest:
We write this at the beginning of the
last week in April. When this is read
it will be May 5. If we knew what all
of us will know when this is read, we
would know more about the progress of
corn planting. just at present the
weather is excellent, and the writer OF
this has an etching" because he cannot
be in the field at work this fine morningl
instead OF writing this weekly batch of
'stuff." However, just one soaking,
rain in day or two, and the face of
things will be changed. Itwould mean
that the already late start with the corn
crop would be later by week and per-
haps longer. Anyway, it is not out OF
place to say Just few words about late
planted corn. II the weather continues
favorable, we will not have great deal
of it, but let one series of rains come
now, and by the time the weather fairs
and the fields dry the same old question
how late to plant corn, will again be
confronting US.
During the wet spring of 1908 we
thought we were having late start with
the corn crop when the first of May
rolled around and little was plan ted {.
However, as May went by and June
came and still large acreage was to be
planted, what might be called real
late season was upon US. That year we
planted corn as late as June 10. 1t was
case of planting then or not at all, We
planted some OF the then implanted
ground to corn and some to Kafir corn.
or course we raised small crop of each,
and crop that was not fully matured
when frost came, butt paid us for the
planting, as it made gooo cattle feed.
No one needs to be discouraged, even
in Kansas where the corn planting sea-
son often opens promptly on April l, if
he still has corn to plant by May 10.
There is still plenty of time for the crop
to thoroughly mature before frost, and
the only thing to fear is dry weather
during the early fall, That is the only
drawback to May planted corn--the
dry weather it is reasonable to expect
after earlier planted corn is matured.
