harrow set to run straight, corrugat-
ed roller or surface packer. Ii a
smooth roller is used, it should be
followed quickly with the harrow to
mulch the surface and stop evapora-

The proper preparation of the seed
bed is very essential in order to have
the soil as free from weeds as possible,
and the maximum amount of water
stored in the ground at planting time
for the use Of the crop. In addition
to this, however, careful attention
should be given to the collection of
seed corn, planting the seed so that
it will terminate, cultivation and
the most economical methods Of using
the crop. When all this is done, corn
should find an important place on
many farms.

A single Bordeaux nozzle uses
about two and one-haH gallons of
spray per minute at pressure of 200
pounds. Two nozzles therefore, will
use about five gallons per minute. If
you have two leads of hose and two
nozzles each your pump must supply
10 gallons OF it will be wasteful.
Most pumps on the market cannot
supply 10 gallons per minute and keep
the pressure above 200 pounds.
In order to have this capacity two
horsepower engine is needed.
If you intend to use two leads of
hose with Il single nozzle you can get
small size pump and possibly one
horsepower engine would do. You
will find that must pumps on the
market have a capacity of seven or
eight gallons per minute. Some of
them are even equipped with three
horsepower engines in order to do this
work we'll.
A pump throwing eight gallons is
large enough for these nozzles only
unless you wish to shut down the
nOzzles. 1t seems to me that it is
not economy to use two nozzles to
one man and a single nozzle to the
second sprayer. If you intend to use
two lines of hose yon will find your
spraying can be doue cheapest by let
ting each lead carry TwO noZZles. Ii
You want to get small pump that
has capacity for two nozzles would
suggest putting both nozzles on a
single lead and in that way dispense
with the services of one man.

be cut with a sharp disc in the
autumn, as indicated above. Where
blowing is the first operation in the
spring it should be done early, as
early as the soil is in good working
condition. To settle the soil, cause
weed seed to terminate, and check
the loss of water by evaporation, the
harrow should follow the pillow closely
and thoroughly. A loose mulch must
be maintained and the weeds thorough
ly destroyed just before the seed is
planted.
(3). Another excellent way of pre-
pairing land for corn is to disc in
the early spring, some time before
the blowing is done. This checks
evaporation, mixes the stubble with
the surface soil so that it turns under
we'll, covers the weed seed lying on
the surface of the ground and causes
them to terminate. When the land
is thoroughly disked and narrowed in
the early spring, two or three weeks
before being plowed, the soil usually
turns over in very mellow condition,
a crop of weeds being killed at the
same time.
Very seldom is there enough work
done on spring plowed land to give it
sufficient tirmness for a good seed
bed. When the blowing is done in
the spring, whether before or after
disking, the soil should be we'll COM

PREPARING LAND
FOR CORN

washington OGdL6 COlloB0, dnu d SIodG
many farmers, that corn can be rails
ed profitably on much of the wheat
land of eastern Oregon, eastern Wash
ington and northern Idaho, during
the year the land lies idle as summer
fallow. To make corn a successful
crop, however, it must be given a
"square deal.'' Wheat, oats and
barley principally the former) have
been our great staple, money making
crops. Because of this these crops
naturally receive first attention.
Corn is planted after the proper time
for sowing other spring grain. This
makes it very convenient to allow the
coru land to lie unplowed until time
to plant the seed, or until the other
spring work has been finished. The
loss of soil moisture by evaporation
is very rapid in the spring from land
that has become packed by the winter
rains. Unless the seed bed for corn
is properly prepared, two conditions
usually result which contribute
materially towards making the crop
unsuccessful.
Q). When corn land is plowed late,
just before the crop is planted, the
soil usually has become SO dry that
it breaks up in hard clods and chunks,
A great deal OF work is then required
to put the seed bed in good condition.
Owing to the dryness Of the soil it is
frequently difficult to make the seed
terminate sufficiently to give a good.
uniform stand.
~. Like other crops, corn requires
considerable water in order to make
profitable yields. When the soil
moisture that should be used by the
growing crop is permitted to evapor
ate from the surface of the ground
before the seed bed is prepared. We
should not expect maximum returns.
Especially is this true in a region
whose dry season comes during the
summer months, that is, at the time
corn makes it's principal growth.
The seed bed for corn may be pre-
pared successfully in at least three
different ways:
~. Deep fall blowing is usually
best. Ii the ground is covered with
heavy stubble, it should first be
thoroughly cut and worked into the
surface soil with a sharp disc harrow.
The stubble will then be covered
better by the pillow and more thorough
ly distributed in the soil, very
essential item in retaining moisture
and causing the stubble to decay.
Fall blowing loosens and opens up
the soil. This permits much OF the
rain and snow water to sink deeply
into the ground that would be lost as
surface run-of were the surface soil
compact. Loose, porous soil does not
freeze so hard as compact soil. Fall
blowing will often permit the ground
to thaw out quickly enough to receive
a great deal of water from heavy snow
that would be lost were the ground
frozen deeply. During the winter
the rains settle fall plowed land to
about the right degree of firmness, so
that enough surface cultivation to
destroy weeds and maintain a loose
mulch from early in the spring until
planting time completes the prepare
