SUCKERING CORN.

We are receiving many inquiries
about the advisability of removing
suckers from corn.
For any particular year no one
can answer this question, because he
can not foretell the weather and crop
growing conditions. AS general
practice extending over a term of
years, it is pretty we'll established
that it does not pay. Some years a
little better crop may be obtained
but taking the average of number
of years it will not pay for the cost
of labor. Suckering is increased by
an abundance of plant foods and
moisture in the soil and by thin
planting. The prolific varieties are

one bushel of peas sown on an acre
of corn at laying-by time will return
more profit than one bag of high
grade fertilizer used any where else,
there would be less sick and sorry
farming.
An old and successful farmer near
me has demonstrated the above value
of peas, and advises that if farmers
will SOW more peas they will need
less commercial fertilizer, while their
lands will become more productive
and easier to cultivate.

sow PEAS IN EVERY CORN FIELD

Messrs. Editors: The time to SOW
peas will soon be here and | am sure
that you can do the farmers a great
favor by calling their attention to
few facts about this profitable crop.
Most farmers believe in a vague
sort of way that peas sown after
small grain and in corn at laying-by
time will improve the soil.
Now, if they only knew that peas
form the basis of fertility on all
first-class Southern farms, and that

also more inclined to sucker than
the single-eared varieties. If it could
be foreseen that after these suckers
are thrown out the weather will turn
dry and unfavorable for corn grow
ing, possibly it might pay to remove
the suckers, but, on the other hand,
If the weather continues favorable
and there is sufficient available plant
food in the soil a better crop will
be made by leaving the suckers on,
for some of them under such condi-
tions will make small ears. We do
not, therefore, advise the suckerins
of corn.

surface, the corn roots do not pene-
trate so deeply, even in dry weather,
as they do in we'll broken deep SOIL
1t may be that they do not go into
this hard soil so deeply because it is
hard; but another reason is, that It
does not contain soluble plant foods
in large quantities, and even if it is
more moist the plants cannot live on
water alone. UnQuestionably this is
where one of the chief benefits from
deep breaking comes in. The plant
roots, in going deep in dry weather
for moisture can do so without leav-
ing the soil which contains the larger
amounts of plant foods.
To cultivate land broken only or
inches deep to depth of inches
would scarcely be called shallow
cultivation" In such land, perhaps
1 J inches, or inches at most, would
be the best shallow cultivation.
But merely to cultivate shallow,
without regard to the method or the
implement used, is not doing the
most toward saving moisture for the
plants.
The Implements to Use for Conserv-
ing Moisture.
If the soil be cultivated 2 inches
deep with plow or a sweep that
leaves the top 2 inches of soil piled
up around the plants, or in a ridge
between the rows, greater rather
than less loss of moisture is likely to
take place. Plows and sweeps and
scrapes may be necessary for killing
save soil moisture and the writer is
convinced he has seen shallow culti-
vation" with these implements, given
solely with the idea of preventing
loss of moisture by evaporation, that
actually increased the loss of water
and did harm instead of good.
To save moisture best, the imple-
ment must leave the top 2 or 8
inches of soil right where it found
it, and with cultivator or harrow
teeth merely stir it and break the
crust or prevent the settling together
of the top soil or mulch. The i'm
plement that leaves an uneven sur
face aids loss of moisture in two
ways: CD By piling the soil in
ridges more of it is exposed. In
other words, it is a greater distance
over the top of the ridge than
through it at the base, but this is
not the only way that loss of mois-
ture is aided. CD In getting the soil
to make the ridge, or to pile up
around the plants, other parts of the
surface are left bare of the mulch
that covered them. This soil is moist,
more compact, and in the best condi-
ton possible for the evaporation of
moisture when exposed to the hot
sun by the removal of the loose soil
taken from it to form the ridges.
In giving the advice, then, to cul-
tivate shallow for the purpose of saw
ing soil moisture, it must be given
with all these reservations and stipu-
lations, that it be the right sort of
shallow cultivation and done with the
right kind of implements.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette., 1911-06-17

wi wears about shallow cultlva-
,,on and the danger of stopping the
s,ltivation too soon, or of laying-by
too early.
In anv discussion of such sub
;oct there is danger OF the reader
toking statements too literally. The
rriter must deal with general, or
more correctly speaking, average
oonditions. From such standpoint,
late shallow cultivation is the best
General rule, and yet there may be
times when late, shallow cultivation
will he useless. Late, shallow cultiva-
ton is not likely to be injurious to
the yield under any conditions II
done right, but it may be useless.
But late cultivation is generally for
the purpose of preventing unneces-
sary loss of water by evaporation from
the SOIL Of course, if weeds or grass
exist they should and will also be
killed, but weeds and grass in the
corn field at laying-by time means
either faulty early cultivation or an
unusually wet season.
Why Cultivate in Wet Weather.
Where there is an abundance of
moisture in the soil the manner of
cultivation is less important. ANY
body can be a good farmer when the
season is just right" When the
weather is wet the main object is to
keep down grass and weeds, although
the greater circulation of air in the
soil secured by cultivation may also
be of benefit. In such cases deep
cultivation may do no injury not
compensated for by the killing of the
grass and weeds and the greater
aeration of the soil. 1t is true that
the roots of the corn plant are near
er the surface in damp soils, but the
wounding of few roots is not inn
portant when moisture is so plentiful
that those roots left intact can sup
ply the plants with all the water
needed.
Late, shallow cultivation therefore,
becomes of great Importance only
when moisture is scarce. This con-
dltlon is likely to occur almost any
tme on our thirsty Southern soils,
even when for the early part of the
season moisture has been abundant.
just What Shallow Cultivation
Means.

He SPEAKS FOR GUYER.
Governor Stubs Tells Kansas Cityans
TO Support Him.


Kansas City, Nov. 2.-W. r. Stubbs,
governor of Kansas, spoke to q crowd
that filled a hall and although the hall
was cold and everyone wore overcoats
during the entire evening, few left the
hall. Mr.. Stubs spoke in the interests
of U. S. Guyer, Republican candidate
for congress from the Second Kansas
district.
The crowd applauded loud and long
when the governor declared that the
terms of federal judges must be short
ened and not made a berth for the
friends of the trusts and corporations
to spend the remainder of their lives
in ease.
How to shorten Judges Terms.
''And the only way to shorten the
terms of the judges is to send men to
congress who believe in the recall and
short term for the judges, and MI
Guyer believes in it, he said
What the people want is free com
petition, and that is what the pro-
gressive element of the Republican
party is trying to give them. Our boys
are closed from the doors of oppor-
tunity and can not engage in any OF
the great Industries. Why? Because
they are controlled by few men who
have formed a combination, and these
combinations must be smashed.
Charles Sessions, secretary Of state,
a member of the governors party,
spoke in the interests of Mr. Guyer- as
also did Judge l.. c. True of Kansas
City, Kan. The party left last night for
lola, where the governor Will speak
for Mr.. Guyer today.
