Leave the Corn Clean.

We are opposed to much hoe
work on the farm. We think a
great deal OF labor has been lost
by using the hoe 10 do what the
plow could do so much better.
For long time we have endeav-
ored to raise crops without the
hoe as near as possible. By good
blowing and plenty of it, the
hoe work can be made a very
small part of the expense. Still
little work with the hoe is nee
essary even in corn. Sometimes
we have none of it done in the
corn-field until the corn has been
plowed for the last time and then
the hoes are carried through the
corn to remove weeds and bunch
es of grass left by the plow.
Leave the corn-field clean if you
want to raise heavy crops of corn
and peas. Do little hoe work

AS the weather gets hot and

ton to quit the crops too soon is
very great. Some people quit
working their crops too soon for
tear they will injure them, when
really they are injured by not
being worked late enough There
is very little danger of hurting
crops by working them late un-
less the roots are plowed up and
damage comes In that way. Some
farmers seem to think about two

the best corn growers now give
it three TO four pIowings. We

Keep working ii until few silks

needs blowing aud you will find
later that you have not done too
much for it. On,account of heavy
manuring, cotton grows about a
month later than formerly. This
makes it necessary to work it
later. Many good farmers have
a rule to plow cotton one time
in August. Don't get in a hur-
