planting is necessary. it is generally
preferable to plant soy beans, pea
nuts, or some other crop between the
cor rows.
The cultivation of the corn crop
should always be level and shallow, ex-
cept in low, undrained lands, where
it may be necessary to plant in ridges
and to keep the middle clear to assist
in drainage. The first cultivation
should be made before the corn comes
out of the ground, and the best inn
plement to use is the harrow to mere
~ break the crust and allow the corn
to come up easily and uniformly. Then
follow with a harrow or weeder, going
both ways, and after the corn gets
six or eight inches tall, the two-horse
c%ultivator, which enables the operator
to cultivate both sides of a row at
once, is the best implement to use.
1t is always much easier and
satisfactory to prevent the growth Of
weeds or destroy them soon after the
seeds terminate than it is to attempt
their destruction after they have at
tanned a firm, fast hold. The sectional
steel harrow, or the weeder, on light
lands full of humus and so on are the
implements to use In cultivation.
The later cultivation after the corn
gets tall Is the small-tooth, one-horse
cultivator. Worked in. this way the
roots are unframed and the moisture
is kept right where they seek it.
Many carefully made experiments
have shown that the stalks, leaves

is because of the vacant hills and bar.
ren stalks attributable to poorly Sc
lected seed.
The method Of planting must be
adapted to the section and nature Of
the land. Where the soil is high and
dry soil, or where very dry weather
is likely to prevail during the grow
ing season, planting corn in the water
furrow is probably best. The soil
can be gradually worked to the corn.
Where the land is well drained, it is
generally best to plant the corr on a
level SO that fiat, shallow cultivation
may be practiced to the best adj
vantage. On wet lands, it is usually
best to plant on beds and give the
corr ridge cultivation.
The result of the experiment sta
tons seem to indicate that it makes
no particular difference in yield
whether the corn is planted in hills
or in drills.
The distance apart in rows and
drills must be settled for each To-
cality and each particular soil. The
amount of moisture and fertility Of
the soil must be considered in de-
Gliding the distance in the drill. Where

that is, as loon AZ the ears are well

The most important and valuable
invention in the connection with the
corn crop in recent years has beer
the invention of the silo, into which
the green corn is cut, preserved in 8
~succulent state for winter feeding and
for tiding over a drought In the sum

cattle.
More corn brings into. use the pas
lures and idle lands of the farms. II
is a basis for ting cheaper food supply
for the masses. Therefore, the pro
duction Of an abundant supply of corr
is one of the essentials Of good farm
ing. The south will be prosperous
when the necessary corn is GROVE
within her borders.
Where it is common only to gather
the grain and then turn the cattle into
the field to CLEAN the fodder, that
standing in the frost had become prac
tically worthless, the cattle ranging
over the soft and wet ground, puddle
the soil and do serious injury to it in
the future cultivation. Then, too, the
land is left bare all winter and loses
fertility in winter rains, when II
should have the green v crops or
1t at all times.
Modern machinery has greatly
lessened the labor Of cutting and
shocking the corn. We now have ma
chimes to cut and bind the corn, and
we have the huskers and shred6ers
that separate the corn from the stovel
and tear up the whole stalks and
leaves into such a shape that not only
is a far larger portion eaten, but the
waste part is in such a shape that i
makes valuable bedding.

INVESTIGATION ON
SOUTHERN FARMS
Corn Crop Peculiarly Adapted to
Soils in the South.
IMPORTANT CROP IN SOUTH
No Such Risks From Frosts as Menace
Farmers of So-CalIed Corn Belt
Only Necessary to Pulverize
Soil to Absorb Moisture.
(By G. H.

(By G. H. ALFORD.)
The long seasons Of the south make
1t peculiarly adapted to the cultiva-
ton of the corn crop, since there is
never any risks from early frosts
catching corn as there is in a large
part of what is now termed the corn
belt. The rainfall is sufficient to pro-
duce maximum crops and it is only
necessary to %pulverize the soil n
fill it full of vegetable matter and
plant food for from 5 to Is inches
deep so that it will absorb the rain
and conserve the soil water by fire.
quent and shallow cultivation.
Fertile soil and good seed are es-
sential to success in corn growing,
but without thorough preparation OF
the soil before the seed is planted we
have no right to expect a good crop
of corn. If we will only give u lands
the preparation that the farmers in
the central west give their lands we
can, by reason of climatic conditions
and natural fitness for the crop, easily
beat them in production, and the doing
of this is not a question of mere appli.
cation of SO much fertilizer per acre.
The results of the experiment sta.
lions seem to indicate that at the usual
price of corn and commercial fertil
izers, the profitable production of corn
upon commercial fertilizers is almost a
hopeless undertaking, unless the corn
crop Is grown in a systematic rotation
with nitrogen-gathering crops. The
Georgia station says: THAT at pres.
ent prices of commercial fertilizers
they cannot be used with profit" The
Ohio station states: I'm no case has
the increase in the crop been sufficient
to pay cost of fertilizers" The Wiz
lginia station says: I'm no instance
did the nitrogen application give q
gain equal to its cost"
An application of q medium amount
OF the fertilizer on average land will
usually pay a profit. Barnyard ma.
nure is a valuable fertilizer. 1t in.
the amount Of available fer.
tility in the soil, adds humus to the
soil and improves the mechanical O
ditions.
The average yield of corn in the
south is about Is bushels. 1t Is an
easy crop to improve in yield and In
quality. The yield to an acre can
easily be doubled with very little in.
crease in labor or expense by plant
ing better and more prolific seed in ad.
dition to increasing the fertility of the
soil and by better methods Of prepare
ton and cultivation.
The variety should be adapted to
the conditions of the soil and climate
in which it is grown. There is no crop
grown that is so much Influenced by
being transferred from north to
south of the section where the corr
is to be grown. Therefore, we should
avoid sending north Or south of our
latitude for seed, but should take at
the start the best corr attainable that
has been long grown in our latitude
and through careful selection, year
after year, bred up.
The average corn grower plows.
plants and cultivates one-fourth to
one-third of his corn acreage without
receiving anything for his labor. This

"FOUR CORNERS" TRAFFIC
SQUAD is FIVE YEARS OLD

1t is just five years ago since the
Newark Police Commission regulated
traffic at the -Four Corners by the
establishment of traffic squad. The
intention at that time was to make
the traffic squad permanent institu-
ton, if the scheme worked out well,
and subsequent developments have
shown that it worked out even better
than the greatest expectations of the
commissioners.
Many an accident and much con-
fusion has been averted at. the
second busiest spot in the country
by the efficient work of Sergeant
Michael Tully and his four aides.
Sergeant Tully, well known to
everybody in the vicinity of Market
and Broad streets, has been in charge
of the work ever since its inception.
The complexion of the squad has
changed, new officers being detailed
at the corners from time to time,
but, like the brook, Tully "goes on
forever"
The present squad is composed of
Patrolmen Faraher, Cleveland, Crow
ley and Rottenberg. The original
squad comprised Patrolmen Schmidt,
Fine, Reilly and Gaynor.

When one imbued with any spark
OF sentiment listens to the delicious

the mind the lines, "Orpheus' lutte

pathos in the face and voice of Edith

beautiful golden hair and her eyes

Fun Reaps Whirlwind of Laugh
ter In "0yer Night" at

RISIBLES GIVE AUDIENCE
NO CHANCE TO BE SERIOUS
Gloom Receives Tremendous
Setback When Hilarity Gets
Clutch ON Spectators.

! All honor to Philip H. Bartholomae,
author of cover Night" His play at
shubert's here, this week is really a
philanthropy.
Is there any gloom in your life?
"over Night" will chase it. Is there
thorn that turks among the roses of
your joys? See "Over Night" 1t will
pluck out the thorn and leave the
perfume of the roseate petals of hap
piness in your heart.
1t Is all fun and without any tres
pass. True. the subject of the play
comes near the border line, beyond
| which il would tread heavily upon the
toes of good morals, for it tells of the
accidental mix-up between two newly
welded couples, the husband of one of
whom finds himself marooned with
the bride of the other, and vice versa.
But so cleverly has the playwright
avoided the ethical cliffs and shoals
that in all the play there is never
/ the least departure from the proprie-
ties nor any suggestion that would
call down the censure of the most
austere or mantle the cheek of Mod
esty with a blush.
The opening scene is on Hudson
river steamboat, where two bridal
couples meet. Percy Darling, q stall
wart, husky, self -assertive young fell
low. has Just taken to wife Elsie, a
meek, shy, retiring young woman,
whose loftiest ambition is to please
| = La
Richard Kettle and his bride are in
an inverse ratio to the other couple;
Richard. milksop. with a lisp and
funny sort Of giggle, his bride, de-
termined. energetic. business-like
virago, who almost begrudges herself
the opportunity of allowing honey
moon trip to break in upon her sterner
duties as a suffrage leader.
While the misnamed Percy Darling
and the seething Georglna Kettle go
ashore to look after their respective
baggage, the boat pulls out with tear
full Elsie Darling and the apprehen-
sive Kettle aboard. And from that
point on laughter gets a graphing
iron hold on the spectator and never
lets up until Mr.. and Mrs. Spectator
are ready to cry and beg for mercy.
The scene shifts to hotel where
to escape the breath of scandal. ever
ready to bubble from the lips of Caro-
line Patchen and Mrs. S. Rutherford
Cleveland, Kettle and Mrs. Percy
Darling pretend to be husband and
wife. The subsequent episodes are
uproariously funny. They eliminate
in a scene in which Darling and ket-
ties robustious wife overhear a
mediterranean conversation between
Kettle and Mrs. Darling, whom they
have followed to the hotel. The con-
versation was intentionally made to
TEEN with expressions of affection to
hoodwinI the two scandal-monger
women. But Darling and Mrs. Kettle.
who hear themselves spoken of most
disparaglngly by their respective
spouses, have every reason to believe
that the endearments between the two
are genuine.

can gentle Elsie ever hope to regain
the confidence OF her Percy again?
The authors creative genius is
really admirable in this seemingly i'm
possible task.
A hypnotist, whose entrance into
the play at the opportune moment is
brought about in a most natural man
ner and without anything farfetched
in it, puts Elsie into hypnotic
sleep, during which her guiltlessness
and that of Kettle are made so plainly
manifest that even the jealous OAR
ling is forced to admit that the
breath of suspicion must be a most
foul calumny. And, to crown the fun
of 1t all with fitting climax, Kettle,
although retaining the lisp, takes the
sceptre of domestic premiership from
his wife and, like Petruchio in
Shakespeare's Tanning of the Shrew,"
makes her dance to the tune which he
delights to whistle.
