report and concussion that shook
nearby buildings and was felt within
a radius of several miles At the same
time there came out of the mouth Of
the mine an immense cloud of dense
smoke and dust that foated across

Because of dense clouds of dust and
smoke it was believed that the mine
was burning and from this supposi-

until late In the day that the mine
was on fire.
Ventilating fans were kept In opera
tion almost without interruption, how

up to this time the rescuers have
found no fire any place In the mine.

low and 1000 pounds of Stacked
lime applied broadcast per acre
and mixed with top soil by going
over with a smoothing harrow.
The lime will correct the acidity
and improve the soil physically.
| do not think this land would
grow alfalfa, even after it has
been we'll drained. l should SOW
it in rcdtop or Bermuda grass
for permanent pasture or
meadow. Before it would be
proftab bic to use fertilizers on
this soil some crops, like cow.
peas, that would furnish organ.
ic matter should be grown and
plowcd under. After tho soil
has been we'll filled with organic
matter, fertilizers could be used
with profit. The humus would
absorb and hold soluble plant
food and prevent il from lccch-
ing on, and going off IN the

to be pu, in crops after i, has
been improved, do not use Der.
muda grass; plant either rcdtop
or lespcdeza, either of which can
be easily destroyed.

good results. Readers of the

plane of better farming; and
they know that like produces

it and help to spread good seed,

the land has been broke shallow,
the roots would be nearer the
surface. 1t must be plain that
if cultivation is deep enough to
cut of a large proportion of the
roots, the crop cannot have the
support that it ought to have.
Unless wet weather prevents
cultivation till weeds get too
much Of a start, a weeder will
give all the cultivation corn
needs for the first three weeks
or the first month of its growth.
Much of this time a harrow
could be substituted for the
weedcr.
Pay no attention to the claim
that the brace roots that run out
from the stalk into the air need
covering with earth. Whatever
cultivation will keep a crust
from forming on top of the soil
is deep enough for corn at any
stage of growth, except when
weeds have got such a start that
shallow cultivation will not kill
them. II it is a question OF kill
ing weeds or blowing so deep
that a large proportion OF corn
roots will be cut of, kill the
weeds; but aim to cultivate so
frequently that weeds cannot
get that kind Of start.
All should value the fact that
shallow cultivation does no,
make a heavy draft on the work
stock. 1t is another case If less
work and larger harvest.
More money from less hard
work is a good rule to follow.
