THE WEEKLY LETTER
 OF JOHN H. PAGE
Commissioner of Mines, Manufactures
 and Agriculture

The presence of dogwood blossoms reminds us that it is time for corn to be planted In fact thousands of acres have been planted and much of 1t is coming up. Good preparation of the land before planting is half the battle in making good crop. The corn and cotton should both be plant ed In flat seed beds if practical. If the ground is too low, then bed it just enough to protect from standing wat CT After planting if baking rain forms crust the harrow should be run over before the crop comes up. The first blowing of corn may be deep If 1t Is thought best. After that. cul- tivate shallow and level. Two inches IS deep enough. Good seed good land preparation, and keeping out the weeds and grass, are the main things that man can do to make crop. The stirring of the soil has something to do with the moisture and the letting of air into the soil. Shallow cultiva- tion tends to hold the moisture, and deep cultivation turns up the moist earth so the moisture will evaporate and escape.
 A recent experiment was made in Illinois that will prove interesting. Six different methods were emplyed in corn cultivation in the same field all the land being prepared alike and planted alike. In the first the crop was not plowed or cultivated at all, but the weeds and grass were scraped away with the hoe. The crop made 6S.2 bushels to the acre. In the sec ond the crop had four shallow culti- vations and made TOP bushels to the acre. In the third there were four deep cultivations, and the corn made 667 bushels to the acre. In the fourth the crop had eight shallow cul- tivations, and made 72.8 bushels to the acre. In the fifth case the crop had eight deep cultivations, and made 6412 bushels to the acre. In the sixth there was no cultivation at all. and no crop was made. If the experiment had been made during a drouth or dry season the difference would have been greater.
 Cow peas have been scarce and high this year. Do not fail to grow some this season. Plant few acres in the drill, and gather and thresh them Get you pea thresher. They are not expensive, and are useful. Every farm should have one. Plant peas on every run down part of the farm, and be sure to follow your oats with peas.
 By all means provide good pas ture. You will need it for your work stock. A good pasture saves lots of money. It will keep the stock going

on light feed when not at work Re member that it costs about twice as much to feed work horse as it does to feed farm hand. Every hour the work stock spends in good pasture s saving of money. Pasture for the summer and hay and forage for the winter will help you to be a success as farmer.
