ChiIdren's Day

"Children's day" at the Presbyteri-
an church Sunday and at the Meth
odist church at night, emphasized the
fact that it was truly a childrens
day. Both churches were taxed to
their full capacity, notwithstanding it
was a suffocatingly hot day. The
exercises were simple but inspiring
and reflected credit on not only the
children, but those doing the Stag
ing. Handsome collections were
taken at both churches, which 60 to

the wceders, or wide section spike
tooth harrows; for these implements
enable one to accomplish all that could
be accomplished with a slower pro-
cess, such as is usually followed. The
weeders and harrows do SO much more
in a given length of time, and are.
therefore, much cheaper to operate.
When the crops are SO large that these
rapid working tools can not be used
longer, cultivators doing the most
rapid and most effective work should
be used. Rapidly in the work can not
be too strongly emphasized, and for
that reason the implement that re-
quires more than one operation to the
row to give a thorough cultivation
should be discarded.
The time OF and the number of cul-
tiyations to give must be governed by
conditions Generally speaking, after
each rain, when the soil is rapidly
evaporating the moisture supply, the
land should be cultivated, as we said
above, to save the water. When there
are weeds of any kind to kill, cultiva-
tion should be done, When the ground
for any reason has become compact,
cultivation should be done.
Knowing the objects of cultivation,
and the fact that deep plowing is not
at all essential to the profitable pro-
duetion of crops, and that there is real
economy in the use of the shallow
rapid-working implements, and that by
this means We must keep good
mulch on the soil to accomplish one
of the objects of the work, we are
ready to go forward to do our June

II farmers generally appreciated the
real objects of soil cultivation. and
would adopt the use OF more modern
cultiVating implements than are COM
monty used, more crops could be made
on the same soil with much less time
and expense.
Every one recognizes that one object
of cultivation is to kill weeds. This,
however, Is not the only reason. Aside
from. killing weeds, soil cultivation
should aid in the conservation of the
sell moisture by putting the ground in
such condition that more water will
enter in the form of rain. In addition
to this, cultivation should conserve
the water Of the soil by keeping it
loose, open in nature, and thereby pre-
vent evaporation from the surface.
Incidentally, as the soil is made more
open, a greater amount Of air enters,
the plants are fed better, the root sys-
TEN Of the crops spread more freely,
and at the same time the activities of
beneficial soil bacteria are promoted.
In the cultivation of the soil for any
OF the feld crops, it is not necessary
to so very deep to accomplish all the
above objects. IN fact, it has been
shown by experiments that shallow
cultivation, such as may be done with
harrows ana small cultivators, is much
more effective than the deeper plow-
Tag, such as is done with the double
shovels. Not only is it more effective
to cultivate shallow, but it is far
cheaper to do so.
When a good seed bed has been pre-
pared for the ordinary field crops, and
the seed planted on the level" the
first cultivation may best be done with
