WEEDS AND CULTIVATION NJ.

The stirring of the soil for the pur
pose of conserving moisture rather
than the killing Of weeds should be
the primary object in cultivation. Fol
this reason the soil in which crops ar.
growing should be stirred frequently
whether there are any weeds in sight
or not. This point is nicely brought Out
in Il cross fence colloquy between two
corn belt farmers during the dry spell
last August The one who had given
his ground none TOO thorough prepare
ton in the spring and who somehow
had the idea that the sole purpose OF
cultivation was killing weeds was sorI
o codding his neighbor for cultivatiul
his corn so much when there were no
weeds in sight, his contention being
that the more the soil was stirred the
more the moisture would escape. His
neighbOr. at the moment turning tht
row with his riding corn plow, tried t.
explain to him the real reason for cui

At husking time the one who kept III

bushels per acre. while the fellow who
titled to kill weeds got only twenty five
bushels. And the only difference be
tween the two fields was the separat

Sunday. This was pleasing to Ike be-
cause it not only gave him chance to
exhort the negroes. but it absoved
him from any of the Sunday chores.
