Although killing weeds is what the
farmer has uppermost in mind when
blowing corn, IL is a question whether
the greatest good he does is keeping
the corn clean or whether it lies in
saving moisture. In the latter there
is certainly the greatest benefit some
seasons. On land where weeds are
not bad and during dry seasons, con-
serving moisture becomes the impor-
tant factor. This, of course is done by
mulch" over the surface, which acts
like a blanket In preventing the evap.
Grafton Of moisture.
With plenty of moisture the impor-
tant consideration Is weed killing
The Missouri farmer has learned that
clean corn usually makes good, and

weeds are kept down, a reasonable

given when the corn is too small for

soil and kills large number of small

time of year and by using the harrow

Ordinarily the plowings should be
about ten days apart, and as the
plants grow larger, the plow should
be run shalower and further from
the rows. There are few roots to be

some wet seasons when weeds are
bad the wise policy II often TO go
after the weeds regardless OF tho
corn roots. But if the weeds can be
handled, shallow cultivation is al
ways to be recommended after the
first. 1t not only does less damage
to the roots, but 1t is more efficient
in conserving moisture.
At the Missouri Experiment Sta.
ton an experiment was conducted to
determine the relative value of deep
and shallow cultivation In this case
the shallow plowed corn yielded 1879
bushels more per acre than that deep
plowed. During the same experiment
the amount OF moisture In the soil
was determined every week for eleven
weeks, II was found that the
plot receiving the shallow cultivation
had an average OF 1l.6 per cent more
moisture than the deep cultivated
plot
This experiment and others have
demonstrated that practically every
season there is an abundance Of
moisture in the soil to mature corn
crop But ordinarily a large amount
of this is evaporated aud some ia
used by weeds. so that II the latter
part of the season is dry the crop
suffers. In such season the methods
OF tillage adopted should be those
that will allow the least waste of
moisture.

We feel that Governor
Haines is to be commended
for the effort he has made to
ascertain the real facts re-
garding the financial condi-
tion of the counties, cities,
school and road districts thru
out the state. The task he
has asked the tax commission
to perform is a hard one, but
if the information called for
by the Governor is secured in
detail and presented to the
public in the proper form, il
will undoubtedly result in
much good, and should form
a basis from which the state,
county, municipal and other
officials will be able to operate
more intelligently next year.

Modern legislation is re-

high cost of living. Laws
for iniative and referendum
and recall elections, special
elections every few months
on the prohibition question,
mothers and widows pension
laws, impractical personal in
jury pensions and traps for
the increasing of taxation
are other causes contributing
to the high cost of living.
These things call for increased
numbers of officials and com
plicate the public service,
making government more ex-
pensive. Then we have the
modern scientific advance
ment along health and hygen.
ic lines, higher ideals of liv-
ing and a better standard OF

cholera could be completely
stamped out in Idaho by the
mere passage of a law, it
would probably be worth
while calling the Legislature

a bill appropriating $4,000 for
