soil, though this would often be
profitable practice where one de-
sires to make extra large yields.
After mixing the manure and fer
tilizer with tt e sub-soil, draw the
burrows together and plant the
corn on the level, except on sandy
soils where planting in a shallow
water furrow may often be an adj
vantage.
10. Harrow the corn several
times before and just after it comes
up SO as to keep the crust broken
and prevent loss of moisture. Gull
tivate every week or after every
rain.
IA. Within thirty days or six
weeks after planting, depending
on seasonal conditions, use side
application of two to three hun
i L
dred pounds of fertilizer per acre.
A second application of two hun
dred pounds per acre may be made
two to three weeks later. On
sandy lands apply the side applica-
ton alongside of drill row; on
Ioamy and clay lands broadcast
ahead of the cultivator. Ii the
corn is yellow in appearance and
not growing vigorously, use a top
dressing of nitrate of soda at the
rate of one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty pounds per acre.
The nitrate of soda should be put
on not less than ten days before
the corn lunches to tassel.
Is. Keep the corn free from
grass, weeds and suckers. The
prolific varieties tend to sucker
much more than non-prollfic varie-
ties. Closer planting should be
practiced with non-prolific varle-
ties on this account. Plant the
prolific varieties Is to Is inches in
the drill rows, depending on the
natural strength of the land. Plant
non-prol.fc varieties or big-eared
sorts IS to "a inches apart. While
corn may be planted by hand, a
more satisfactory method is to use
good type of planter which IN
sures uniform distribution of the
seed to satisfactory depth in the
soil. Plant the corn two to three
inches deep. Plant deeper in sandy
than in clay lands.
16. Select the varieties of corn
which have given the best possible
results in your community. Buy
the seed only in the ear unless you
have made your own selection at
home. Take five to ten grains

/. 1t is first essential in produc-
ing any crop to thoroughly pre-
pare the land for receiving the
seed.
3. In spite of the lateness OF
the season, do not attempt to plant
until,the ground has been thorough

3. Select uniform land for your
corn plat. See that it is natural

survey the land carefully and d.
vide it off accurately. An acre
contains 43, $50 square feet.
4. Do not attempt to pIow the
land until 1t is in proper physical
condition. You can determine
Z this by taking handful Of earth
from the bottom of a turrow and
squeezing it in the hands. If it
readily crumbles the land is in
proper condition to pillow and str
ring it to depth of s to - inches
may be pursued with safety. If
the soil congresses into a hard
lump and is waxy, it is too wet, to
Hplow, and cultivation under these
conditions will impair its physical
condition and lessen it's ability to
' produce satisfactory crop.
5. AS soon as the ground IS
broken, or if needed, disc ard har-
row until it has been thoroughly
leveled and fine filth secured.
This is an important matt-r as II
tends to bring the moisture to the
surface, thereby fastening the
termination of the seed and pre-
venting the top soil from drying
out.
6. Should drought set in,
roll the land before narrowing IN
order to prevent loss of moisture
in excessive quantities by surface
evaporation. Preserve a dust mulch
by thoroughly narrowing before
and after planting. On sandy
lands the weeder may be used to
advantage: on heavy clay lands
deGcient in vegetable matter, a
Aod type of smoothing harrow
should be used.
