The Roots Of Corn.
BY c. r. BARNS, Extension
Division, Minnesota Univer-
sity Farm.
+ :. :. :: :. = :: :. :. :. :. :. !. :. J. j. :.

Actual stigation-during which
the roots of corn plants, supported On
wires. run horizontally through the
surrounding soil, were exposed to
view as they naturally grew, by wash
ing away the soil with water from a
sented herewith, showing the spread
and depth of the root system of
mature corn plant Each of the dotted
squares represents foot of space. 1t
will be noted that the roots have
spread horizontally about three feet
that they have penetrated to depth
OF four feet The drawing has not
been carried out in as much detail on
the left as On the right side; for the
fine. Elementary roots grow alike on
all sides.
The Illustration should impress
everyone with the unwisdom of deep
cultivation for corn after the roots
have begun to spread. When the disk
Or cultivator blade peGetrates to
depth of more than two inches it is
certain to destroy a large proportion
thus rob the plant Of food it would
otherwise draw from the soil. Where
corn has been placed in lister" fur
rows, as is much practiced in Kan
sas and other states, cultivation to a
depth Of three inches is safe. But
listing has not yet been proved de-
sirable in Minnesota.
A Sioux City paper tells of overnear-
ing the following conversation be-
tween farmers:
"The ground is very dry, Mr..
Brown" said one of the men, land we
must put the cultivators down deep,
SO as to get thick, heavy mulch on
top. | am told that deep tillage con-
serves the moisture"
That's exactly it, replied the other
man. THE third time l went through
my corn stirred the ground to a
depth of five inches, till could fairly
hear the roots crackle If that doesn't
get HE good crop don't know what
will. That is certainly thorough cul-
tivation"
These two farmers afforded an ex-
ample Of misapplied information such
as is by no means uncommon. 1t is
true that deep tillage conserves
moisture" but the time for such til
lage is, first, before the corn is plant
ed; and, second, after the planting,
but before the roots have begun to
spread. No later cultivation should
be deeper than two inches. This is
sufficient to destroy the weeds, aerate
the soil somewhat, and create a soil
mulch which will retain the moisture
