CULTIVATE SHALLOW
Fred H. Phillips, Commissioner oil
Agriculture, Gives Timely HINTS
TO Arkansas Corn Growers.

The time for corn cultivation is
here and we should learn early the
fallacy of blowing corn 100 deep.
Deep blowing is very necessary IN
the fall and winter, but deep culti-
walton should not be practlced at
this time of the year.
Deep cultivation of corn has TWO
bad results: Many plant roots are
injured, perhaps killed, and much
moisture is lost. Thirty days after
planting corn the roots will have
met if the rows are only three or
three and one-half feet apart.
These roots lie within two TO SIN
inches of the surface. Deep cult
walton will cut or break many OF
these roots. Some Of them VIII
wither and dry up, while all OF
them will be injured to a more OF
less extent. The plant itself is IN
jured in proportion to the INJURY
received by the roots which are the
feeders of the plant.
Deep cultivation causes the loss
of much moisture. At this time OF
the year we do not feel the need OF
conservation of moisture. But we
should try to hold as much mois-
ture in the ground as possible since
it will be needed later on. We
should practice shallow, intensive
cultivation. Cultivation should be
intensive in order that all grass and
weeds may be DESTROYED when they
are young, thus obviating the ne
cessity for deep cultivation. A dust
mulch will prevent the loss OF an
excessive amount of moisture. A
crust on the surface of the ground
causes the moisture to be drawn
from the subsoil to the surface
where it is quickly lost by evapor-
alton. A light rain m0istens only
the first two or three inches OF top
soil and creates crust. When this
crust has formed the water below
will move rapidly to the surface
and will be lost by evaporation. If
this crust is not broken, the land
will dry out very quickly and after
a few days the soil will contain less
moisture than if it had not ralned
at ALL Run a light harrow over the
ground as soon as possible after
each rain and thus prevent the for
nation of crust. Harrow often
enough TO maintain a two or three
inch dust mulch. II is only in this
way that we can conserve the mois-
ture in our soils.
| want the farmers of Arkansas
to write this Department for in
formation on agricultural subjects.
It will be gladly furnished.

Commissioners of Agriculture.

To Double Sunday School Attend
anna

To double the Sunday school at
tendance in Arkansas by September
%, 1912, the Arkansas Sunday
School Association proposes the
following:
1. All churches without Sunday
schools are urged to organize,
2. Lay leaders in the stronger
churches are asked to assist the
weaker in organizing and maintain
ing Sunday schools.
3. Schools are urged to maintain
organized classes to enlist adults,
and teacher training classes to pre-
pare for more efficient teaching.
4. County Sunday school officers
are asked to organize the townships
into associations to meet monthly
to discuss Sunday school plans and
methods.
5. On Monday, September IS, 1911,
statewide Sunday school census is
to be taken by committees from the
Sunday schools. Every Sunday
school is asked to hold a rally on
the Sunday previous. The census
visitation is to be followed by a sys-
tematic personal effort to win all
out of Sunday school membership
in it.
6. Some Sunday school light
houses are to be erected by the en-
listment of six communities in an
effort town every person to en-
rollment in Sunday school; twenty
five, to enroll three-fourths ;fifty,one
half-all to seek to maintain an av-
erage of rs per cent of the enroll
ment, not counting the Cradle Roll
and Home Departments. The unit
of territory for such effort may be a
municipality, school district or
township.
Z. Articles on these movements
are to be furnished weekly to one or
more papers in every county in the
state.
8. The Arkansas Sunday School
Herald, Little Rock, will give illus
trations and explanations monthly,
setting forth in detail information
for carrying out these movements.
Caution is urged against overdue
emphasis on quantity or numbers in
Sunday school, and undue emphasis
on quality. Efforts merely for num-
bers, as in most contests, is often
harmful more than helpful. Church
members should be sought first,
then others.
Yours in the work,
S. G. Parish,
Conway, Ark.

The acreage Of cotton that has
been planted in this vicinity this
spring is far larger than ever plant
ed before, and seldom has the stand
been better or general prospects for
a good crop been brighter. The
weather conditions have been ideal

farmers have been taking advan-
tage of those favorable conditions
by keeping hoes and cultivators
busy from morning until night.
