the next two or three weeks you could
almost see the corn grow, and it

some corn, frost or no frost But
the weeds were growing fast. | saw
they would have to be cut out at once

get hoed or the weeds cut for week
or ten days, and it showed 1t in the
corn. The next week | cultivated 1t
for the last time with two-horse cul-

high. Just after this we had heavy
rain, with wind which blew lot of
my corn down 1t took me part of
two days to straighten 1t up.
"Along in August, Mr.. Mcbride, the
county agriculturalist, sent some seed,
consisting of sweet clover, crimson
clover, rape, soy beans and vetch, to
be sown between the rows. This seed
I sowed and cultivated in with one
horse cultivator; going twice in the
center of the row, because / did not
want to get too close to the stalks and
injure the roots. The soy beans and
sweet clover did not come up good
the other seed did nicely.
"At this time | noticed the lower
end of my field was suffering from
the dry weather, | mulched it with
straw, which kept the moisture very
good and gave me more corn
early in September we had heavy
frost which killed all the leaves of
nv corn, but the stalks remained
green. and on account Of this / did
not cut my corn for a month after the
frost and this helped to ripen it a
lot.
