Preparation, Planting and Guilt
walton of The Corn Field.

walton of The Corn Field.
The wet spring and the holding
on of cold weather is causing far
mers much uneasiness about corn
planting, and. as a result may lead
to much corn being put into the
ground before the soil is thorough
" prepared to receive the seed.
This practice would prove to be a
mistake. Ordinarily, with proper
care and cultivation, no serious
concern over results need be had
if corn is planted in Kentucky any
time between April 25th and May
25th
In preparing clay soils for corn,
especial care should be taken not
to work the land when so wet that
pudding will take place or that
baking will follow. The disk har-
row is generally the best tool to
follow the pillow and after this
some form of smoothing harrow
should be used, repeating the har-
rowing until smooth and very
finely pulverized seed bed is OBJ
tanned. If clods form during the
narrowing they should be pulveriz-
ed with a roller, or sometimes a
good drag may do this work well.
1t should be added that each days
blowing should be sufficiently
worked and smoothed on the same
day to prevent the evaporation of
soil moisture which will be much
needed later on by the corn crop.
The extra work-of unhitching from
the pillow and hitching to the har-
row will be more than compensat
ed by beneficial results to the crop
and the greater ease of getting the
ground in good condition.
The best time to plant corn
the seed bed being well prepared
is whenever the soil is warm
and moist enough to insure quick
termination of the seed. Accord
ing to Hunt in THE Cereals in
America" the temperature at which
maize will terminate most rapidly
is from 81 to SO degrees F. Prob
ably in practice field corn is nearly
always planted before the soil has
reached this temperature, but the
time of planting should be suffi-
GENTLY late at least to escape all
danger from freezing and frost.
The old-time notion that the chan
ges of the moon have some bearing
upon successful corn growing is
now entirely discredited. Neither
science nor practice longer support
this theory. Corn should be plant
I'D from one and one-half to three
inches in depth, varying with type
IF soil and moisture conditions.
Shallow planting is preferable
where the moisture content of the |
surface soil insures good germina-
ion. Under normal conditions it |

Among those Kenna farmers
who thoroughly believe in the
silo, and who will install one
for this falls crop if possible,
are G. Il. Priewe, j. R. Holman
j. 7. Abbott and Frank Parker.
1t should be remembered that a
silo is a silo if it is a round hole
only 10 feet in diameter and 10
feet deep. One man can do all
the digging in a hole that size
by himself. The cement for the
Z inch layer of plaster on the
sides of this hole will cost only
SO. 90 or $500 at most. All the
silage can be lifted out with a
pitch fork with the greatest
ease. Mr.. Nichols of Red Lake
east of Elida laid down 30 ton
per day capacity silage cutter at
Elida, from Montgomery, Ward
& Co. for $27 so. He runs this
cutter with a SO. 90 second hand
horse power. Such an outfit
would do very well for 3 or A
sllos in your community. If
these B or 4 men would further
cooperate they would fill each
silo in me day.
