advantage over the Pacific coast states

that within radius of 500 miles from
Montpelier there is an urban population
exceeding 81 100000 or at least half the
urban population of the United States.
For the benefit of those who fear the
danger of over production of apples, at
tention is called to the fact that between
1899 and 1909 the apple crop of this

during the same deeaGe there was de-
crease of 50,47l 900 apple trees. Dur
ing that period the population of the
country gained l5,947 ,69l. There was a
remarkable growth in the apple can

producing foods. During the entire
time they should receive a few hand
fuls of sunfiower seeds each day, as
these are very good in helping to
loosen up the feathers. Feed with
care, however, as too many would
have a bad effect, causing an unnat-
ural mott.
Plenty of meat and green food are
very essential to getting fowls through
the mott successfully. Give them lots
of green cut bone or ground beef
scraps, and all they will eat of vari-
GUS kinds of green stuff, grass and
vegetables. A little linseed meal,
added to the mash two or three times
a week, will be found to be very bene-
fetal at this season.
See that the fowls have cool, fresh
drinking water at all times. Keep
down lice and mites, as many of the
deaths during the melting period are
caused by these pests and not on &C
count Of any hardship attending the
melting process, as many people sup
pose. Provide dust baths in which the
fowls may wallow whenever they
want to, and these will help to ex.
terminate vermin as well as furnish
healthful exercise and pleasure to the
birds.

IMPORTANT CORN CROP
Elimination of Weeds Is AbSo-
IuteIy Necessary.
SoiI-Mulch Theory Of Tillase Has
Been Fundamental One in Ameri-
can AsricuIture-Soil mois-
ture Is Conserved.

Corn is one of the most important
.rops in the United States. Cultiva-
ton is one of the most expensive op-
erations in the production Of corn. 1t
Is also the operation which of all
phases of corn growing, has probably
received the least study or about
which we have the least fundamental
knowledge.
The soil-mulch theory of tillage has
been a fundamental one in American
agriculture. 1t was long ago found
that by means of mulch, crops could
be grown in alternate years on land
receiving such scant rainfall as to
make 1t impossible to grow any salts
aCtory crop by other methods. In
tudying the effect Of the mulch it
has come to be generally recognized
hat in most soils moisture can be
'aved by maintaining the top portion
Of the soil in finely divided condi-
ion. 1t has also been found that fire.
duent stirring of the soil promotes
'apid nitritication. 1t would seem to
.ollow, naturally, that a system of
cultivation which promotes nitrifica-
ton and conserves moisture would
be an extremely valuable system to
apply to a titled crop. In practice it
has been found that in most cases fire.
luent shallow cultivation gives better
Yields than other methods of corn
tillage. Upon this experience tillage
philosophy has been developed and
tillage practice based.
To ascertain the ideal method Of
cultivation for corn in various sec
lions Of the country, experiments ag-
gregating 1875 and scattered over 2S
states, were conducted. These eX-
periments were simply removing the
weeds without stirring the soil or pro-
ducing a mulch, as against corn cult
walton. The measure of the relative
merits Of the two systems was, not
In the preservation of soil moisture
or the effect on nitrification, or the
making available Of plant nutrients,
but the relative yields Of corn pro-
duced.
These tests seem to indicate that it
Is the weed factor which makes the
cultivation Of corn necessary, or,

PROPER CARE DURING M0lT

The early-molting hens are the mos,
desirable ones, because they will have
completed the process and regained
their normal physical condition again
before winter sets in. and therefore
will be in better shape for the arrival

still further retard the mott and the
fowls will suffer quite a bit with the
cold.

stating the proposition conversely,
that cultivation is not beneficial to
the corn plant, except insofar as re
moving the weeds are concerned.
The reasons why uncultivated land
kept free from weeds should yield
practically as much corn per acre as
that given the most approved modern
cultivation are not clear The results,
however, point strongly to the con-
clusion that the principal object of
cultivation Is the destruction of weeds.
Where the weeds are kept down by
some other method cultivation seems
to be of no particular advantage. This
Is contrary to the accepted teaching
on this point, and the conclusion is
stated only tentatively
If 1t be true that weeds make the
cultivation of corn necessary the
problem Immediately presents itself
as to what farm management methods
can be pursued to eliminate or reduce
to minimum the weed pests of the
farm. our present implements for
cultivation are designed primarily to

1t is possible that newly designed i'm

TO weed control, could accomplish
this end with greatly decreased

In summing up the results of the
experiments Of the 1876 corn growers,
1t is shown that the weeded plats pro-
duced 95.1 per cent. as much fodder
and 99,1OS per cent as much grain as
the cultivated ones. II there was any
difference between either set of plats
In regard to thoroughness in keeping
down the weeds It was in favor of the
cultivated plats. Although It remains
to be demonstrated how far this prin-
ciple may be applied in any particular
section, as a general average for all
the regions in which this work was
done It may be concluded that the
proposition Just stated is substantial

control becomes the principal object
