INTENSIVE FARMING
Conducted by FRANK s. MONTGOMERY, MS,
Instructor In Animal Husbsudry and Special investigator


The wet spring and the holding On
OF cold weather Is causing farmers
much uneasiness about corn planting
and, as a result, may lead to much
corn being put into the ground be-
fore the soil is thoroly prepared u

prove TO be a. mistake. Ordinarily,
with proper care and cultivation, no
serious concern over results need i've
had II corn is planted In Kentucky
any time between April 18th aud
May 25th.
In preparing clay soils for corn,
especial care should be taken not 10

tained. II ciods form during the har-
rowing they should be pulveriz d
with a roller. or sometimes a good
drag may do this work well IL should
be added that each days blowing
should be sufficiently worked and
smoothcd on the same day to pre-
vent the evaporation of soil moisture
which will be much needed later by
the corn crop. The extra work of un-
hitching from the pillow and hitching
to the harrow Will be more than COM
pcnsatcd by beneficial results to the
crop and the greater case Of getting
the ground In good condition.
The best time to plant corn-the
seed bed being we'll prepared-is
whenever the soil Is warm enough
and moist enough to insure quick
germination Of the seed. According to
Hunt In The Cereals in America"
the temperature at which maize will
germinato most rapidly is from 81
to SO degrees +. Probably In practice
field corn is nearly always planted
before the soil has reached this tenn
perature, but the time of planting
should be sufficiently late at last
to escape oil danger from freezing
and frost. The old time notion that
the changes of the moon have some
bearing upon succeeCful corn growing
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1913-04-24

Is now entirely diecreditcd. Neither
science nor practice longer support
this theory. Corn chould be planted
from one and one half TO three inches
In depth, varying with type of soil
and moisture conditions. Shallow
planting is preferable where the
moisture content Of the surface soil
insures good examination. Under nor
NAL conditions II Is best TO plant
the rows Of cCrn three and a half
feet apart, to row both ways, and 20
plant from three TO four kernels to
the hill, depending upon the fertility
OF the sell.
Corn is a plant which requires
much water for It's growth. Hence, to
produce the best crop possible 1t is
necessary to keep down all weeds and
to prevent the evaporation of mois-
ture from the surface OF the soil
These two things may be accomplish
ed by good methods of cultivation.
When tho soil Is not too wet, 1t is
good practice to run a spike tooth
smoothing harrow, or some form CT
weeder, over the corn field three or
four days after planting. This will
destroy most of the carly weeds, be-
sides breaking any crust which may
have formed over the terminating
seeds. This work would often en-
danger the young plants If done lat
or than four days after planting. The
first regular cultivation should be
given five or six days after the corn
Is up. and thereafter civilizations
should be repeated after each rain,
and besides, often enough to keep
down all weeds. Shallow cultivation
forming a surface soil mulch is the
best for a dry season, while even
during wet times the cultivation
should be In no case deep enough 10
break the roots of the corn plants.
During the first part of the growing
season the cultivation of the corn
crop should be SO thorough that It
will not be necessary to continue
cultivation longer than the time when
this work begins to break down the
corn.

not know that the member of Con-
