and then pet out and think what
a nice lob he has done. not rea-
liZing what he has done To the
corn. By billing up. the roots
are inclined upward and, when
once they have been given that
direction. they are set IN the
earth never TO change. When
that is done, the roots will be
exposed TO the hot sun in the
summer time and can not collect
and deliver plant food. Futher-
more, they will be subject to
destruction by the plough in any
sort Of necessary cultivation. To
obtain maximum corn yield the
roots must grow in the right di-
rection under such mechanical
and other conditions as will en-
able them to secure a maximum
food supply that the plant can
manufacture into stalk, leaves
and grain.
In the course Of my life | have
torn the roots. not knowing
what | was doing. But | have
found out that the roots are
what make the corn, and we
must protect them.
After we have inclined them
lownwards, every time the soil
IS worked We give them more
protection from the hot sun.

YOU can 90 get a good stand.
Let us take the corn plant
for an illustration. We plant a
grain Of corn and it sends a
spr0ut up out of the ground; but.
until God gives this little plant
roots TO feed with, it is de-
pendent on the mother grain
from which it sprung for life
The farmer never,lived who could
feed that plant until ii puts out
its roots. Right here the farmer
can MAKE a mistake which viii
cost him aIlot his work.
When the roots start out we
must train them So they will be
protected when the hot sun does
come. Those Little roots 20 out,
and they need warmth from
above. as well as moisture below.
At this time ! advocate going
over the ground with : section
harrow. We want 10 aerate that
soil. By aerating, letting air
and warmth in, we incline the
roots downward. Then give a
deeper plunging and, after thar,
plough shallow.
The first thing the farmer
usually does is to Hill it up high

ing machines can do.
II will speak briefly now, Of
agricultural methods. Why is il
that each year the promises of
rich yields in corn and cotton
have not been redeemed? There
are several reasons. One is that
il is due to faulty cultural meth
DDS. ! have found farmers, even
some seventy-two years old, who
have failed for this reason. We
must watch the growth of the
plants not only above, but also
below, the ground. We want to
adopt a plan of planting to
prepare for the first cultivation.
Il believe in planting all grain
as deep in the earth as we can
to get a good stand. That
brings up the different meth
DDS adaptable to different parts
Of Texas. We have a State with
every variety of soil, and in
which almost everything can be
'aised that can be grown in the
temperate zone; therefore, we

IL isof little service We com.

September, and We want to
commence storing II In the earth
in the autumn. What falls after
wards adds just that much to
our supply. When the autumn
nal and winter rains go into the
earth, the moisture begins to
manufacture food for the plants
by changing the chemical prop
critics of the soil. The longer
before planting this is done, the
better.
After it has gone into the
earth, if we take proper care Of
it, it is there until it is needed
for the plants. The question is,
how can we store this water?
If you have your soil prepared
as has been suggested, and there
comes an inch Of rainfall, the
moisture will go ten to fifteen
times deeper than it would in
unprepared soil. II will take the
