but crooked rows is certainly

but crooked rows is certainly a
slouchy farmer.
When hitching to a corn planter, a
drill or a land marker 1t is essential
that we have neck yoke that is
rigid and fastened so that when one
horse moves the other will hold the
pole in place and prevent a crook in
the row.
If properly hitched both horses will.
have to go out Of line to make 8
crook in the rows. While It is very
difficult to estimate the value OF
straight rows In dollars and cents.
yet 1t is very apparent that many
hills OF corn. potatoes and other cul-
tivated crops are ruined by the cult
vators when they are out OF line.
Then again there is something
about long straight rows that indi-
Gates the character OF the farmer.
When we see straight rows we natur-
ally look for a good farmer who takes
pride in the appearance vi his fields.

The depth to which corn may be cuL

One exception is found in soils that
are much prone to settle too adhes-

these 1t may be necessary or at least
advantageous to cultivate somewhat
deeply the first cultivation that is
given. This, however. will depend
somewhat on the size of the corn when
the first cultivation is given. II the
corn has reached say foot high be-
fore such cultivation is given. some
caution must be used about going down
deeply, as the lateral roots of the
corn will have pushed out far from
the plants and not far from the sur
face. If the first cultivation given is
deep. then the civilizations that follow
should be less deep.
A second exception Is found in that
condition of soil which not infre-
quently occurs in the west when a
crust forms below the line of the shall
low cultivation. This crust may be
lower than some of the lateral roots.
This brings up the question, will the
corn suffer most by breaking the lat
eral roots when breaking the crust or
by leaving the crust unbroken. The
best authorities favor the breaking up
of the crust. and doubtless they are
right. This can only be done by send
ing the cultivator down deep enough
to accomplish the end sought.
There is also a difference OF opinion
as to when cultivation shall cease. 1t
would seem safe to say that 1t should
usually continue longer than is the
case in the average experience OF the
farmer. But after the crop gets high
the work of cultivation becomes more
costly, as 1t has to be done with one
horse cultlvator. When thus man.
aged, 1t may be continued until the
forming of the ears.
The objects sought in such late cul-
tivation are two-fold. The first object
is to maintain the covering Of loose
earth so as to prevent evaporation.
and the second is to destroy weeds
that would otherwise mature. Wild
oats, for instance. may terminate af-
ter the usual time for maturing seed
ceases, and the same is true OF mus
tard. A corn crop will not result in
all the benefit that may result from
growing it, unless 1t is kept perfectly
clean.
