business would benefit them. They
needed more power. and TO secure
this Mr.. Gould bought the water
power al Belle Isle. near Richmond
which was owned by the Old Domin-
ion Nail Works. which manufactured.
among other articles, horseshoes.

Fight the Drought.

Inc Experiment station Is re-
ceiYing go many inquiries in re-
gard to the proper methods OF
caltivsting corn during dry
weather tina! u is deemed advis-
able to cah attention to some
means OF saving coil moisture and
of fighting the drought that is
threatening the entire state this
summer.
Very little can oe done to save
the uncultivated crops like oats
and grass but 80 far as corn or
any other cultivated crop is con-
cerned a drought may be effect
lively fought by continued and
persistent cultivation of the right
sort. II mulch Of loose dry soil
is kept on the ground a great
amour, of water will be saved
that would otherwise come 10 the
surface of the soil and evaporate
sRd he lost. The most effective
mulch is one about three inches
deep made by small shoveled
shallow running implement that
will leave the ground practically
level. A spring tooth cultivator
with six or eight shovels on each
gang is one of the hest imple-
ments for dry weather or a one
horse garden pillow after the corn
is too large to work with the ordi-
nary eultIvator. IL other imple-
ments are used they should be
run shallow 80 as not to disturb
the corn roots at time when
they are so badly needed. These
small toothed implements leave
8 loose dry layer OF soil on top for
O mulch which acts like a blanket
thrown over the ground and keeps
the water from being lost by
evaporation.
The drier the weather the Of.
'tener q man should ouitivate IN
order to keep good mulch and
cultivation should be done at least
once a week in drought. II is
a good plan to continue the oulti.
vation even after the corn is too
large to plow with the ordinary
cultivator. A one horse garden
plow or even an old mower wheel
weighted down and dragged be.
tween the rows will give good re-
suits and in such dry weather as
the present will add considerable
to the yield of the crop.
Some people have the idea that
it does no good to cultivate corn
during dry weather when il is
clean and the ground loose but
this is a mistaken idea. The Of
tener one cultivates the more
water he will save for il the
ground is left unstirred very long
the particles settle together again
and water can get through the
mulch to the surface Of the ground
and hence be wasted.
The only way to fight drought
in the corn field is by continued
and persistent shallow and level
cultivation, and the man who fol-
lows this plan will win out when
he goes to harvest his Drop.
