HOW TO GROW PROFITABLE CORN CROPS
"A Deeply Broken Well Pulver lied Soil, Filled With Humus
Planted to Good Seed and Properly Should
Yield"

plying these organisms as well as
for furnishing humus.
Good seed plays no small part in
producing profitable crops, often in
creasing the yield from 10 to so per
cent and sometimes 100 or more Dor
cent over scrub seed.
BY proper cultivation we mean
simply the frequent and shallow
stirring OF the soil around the grow
Ing plant" Sometimes, however, It IL
advisable to let the first cultivation
be rather deep, provided 1t Is done
before the plant roots get out into
the soil. Care should be exercised In
this since the plant roots grow sew
eral times as fast In length as the
corn stalk grows in height. After
the corn gets up considerable height
the cutting or breaking of these
roots is like pulling an animals
teeth and then expecting 1t to hustle
for the food 1t needs. Some times
farmers cut OF the yield of their
corn crop from to 10 bushels per
acre by deep cultivation, thinking
that only elbow grease Is neces-
sary to make good corn crop. Free
quent and shallow civilizations also
help to retain the moisture that
should be present In the soil to carry
the corn crop through a drought.
A deeply broken soil, therefore,
well pulverized, filled with humus,
planted to good seed, and properly
cultivated ought to mako . big yield
Of corn for any farmer.

When You Hire Help.

Messrs. Editors: One Of the fun

When you employ men, employ
only good ones, when you can.
Careful. honest, conscientious men
are treasures. A man so slow that
he never makes mistakes Is simply
y. G., and equally as bad Is the
rushing man who makes only mis-
takes and does nothing or little
right.
Stick to the man who works his
brains some. and his hands some,
too.
Fire the man at once who Is fiery
In temper. yells and storms about
the feed lot and barn, storms or

There are far more balky drivers
than balky horses; more kicking
mixers than kicking cows.

you. He Is wrong somewhere, you
may be sure.

lose good place or throw away
the fruits of a long time OF industry
and kick himself out OF good Job
by single lapse OF control. A kind

ENGLISH FTNANCIERS
 NOT ALARMED OVER
 AMERICAN INTERESTS
Especial from United Press.)

London, April 6.-In the belief that thirty years of financial operations in Brazil Argentina and Chilli has made their position practically unassailable, English inanciers are not unduly alarmed at the report from America that a syndicate headed by the Stand ard Oil and J. Pierpont Morgan was preparing to wrest control of the South and Central American banking inter ests from their hands. The position of English bankers. according to the statement today to the United Press of prominent Enancier who would Tot permit the use of his name. con templates a tightening of their hold on their present field. a fairly large one, rather than the exploitation of a new territory.
 At present the Rothschilds' influence in Brazil IS supreme. Besides having more than $500, o0O. GOO invested in that country they act as government bank CTS and issue all government loans. \
 English investors have also been hoarcirfg money for thirty years in BraziIsand Chi1i. The mere fact that concerns like the Earrings do a huge business in South America is sufficient to convince Eng1ishmen that the coun- try is a. good field for their money. If these concerns were jeopardized the investments made through them would cease.
