Minneapolis, May. ia moderate
demand now appears for general mer-

chants are buying for actual needs
only and, with the busy seeding season
on,agricultural requirements are much
curtailed. Seeding is about finished
and the soil conditions are favorable
throughout the northwest. Acreage
of spring wheat is estimated as about
normal. Local retail trade holds up

sale trade is not heavy though it is
reasonably good, and there are no
special developments during the week
Reordering continues in moderate
amounts and some orders are being
placed for fall delivery, but a heavy
business is not expected to be booked
until crops are well under way. Col

TREATED
BETTER FARMING EXPERT GIVES
VALUABLE ADVICE ON
CORN RAISING.

In discussing the corn crop recent
" in a speech a representative of the
Better Farming association gave some
pointers upon corn planting which
may not come amiss at this season.
Among other things he said the corn
should be planted in hills. Sometimes
it may be necessary to use hand
planter or hoe for a small acreage. It
is best, however, to plant the corn
with the ordinary corn planter Use
a. planter with a check row attach
ment. The planter will drop all corn
at a more uniform depth and if corn
is carefully graded, will drop it more
uniformly than would be possible
with the ordinary hand planter. The
best distance apart for the rows is
either #. s inches to tt. 6 inches.
If the planter is set for 8 it inches,
plant at that distance rather than to
change it to it. 6 inches. In most
sections of the state planting corn 8
it. 8 inches apart in rows is found
most satisfactory.
soil conditions. AS a general rule, it
should be planted down to moisture,
but preferably not more than two or
three inches. This depth varies with
conditions. Plant shallower in
heavy than in light soil. The soil
must be studied at planting time to de-
termine what is best depth.
Corn should be planted as soon as
the ground is warmed up, but late
|enough so that there are not likely to
be a number of late spring frosts
which will catch the crop. In the corn
|contest of last year the most success
full growers planted their corn between
the 9Th and 18th of May, the greatest
majority about May 10th. ~:
The number of kernels which should
be planted to the hill depends upon
the size of the corn that is grown and
the richness of the land. The varie-
ties that are generally grown in this
state should be planted at the rate of
four kernels to the hill. The tip and
butt kernals should be separated from
1.-THE remaining kernels Of the ear. These
are of odd sizes and will not plant as
uniformly as will those from the cen.
ter of the ear. It is also advisable to
grade the corn SO that it will be Of
fairly uniform size. 1T is also often
done by using one Of the large size
Escreene in the ordinary farm tanning
mill. The essential thing to bear in.
mind is to get the kernels as nearly
uniform as possible so that the plan!
ter will handle them to- the best adj
vantage. = z, ~ = ~ ..45&.8
o. After the corn is planted, it should.
be narrowed once or twice to kill any.
weeds that may be started. After the.
corn is once up It is not advisable to
use the harrow on it. Every effort
should be made to preserve a good
