Flow Shallow to
 Retain Moisture
And Keep The Soil In Condi- tion- To Withstand Any
 Dr0uth.

The presence of dogwood blos- sons remind us that it is time for corn to be planted. In fact, thousands of acres have been planted and much of it $ coming up. Good preparation of the land is half the battle in making a good crop The corn and cot ton should both be planted in fiat seed beds if practical. If the ground is too low, then bed 1 it just enough to protect from standing water. After plant ing if a baking rain forms a crust the harrow should be run over before the crop comes up. The first blowing of corn may be deep if it is thought best. After that, cultivate shallow and level. Two inches is deep e. nough. 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 inter esting. Six different methods were employed in corn cultiva- tion in the same field, all the land being prepared alike and planted alike. In the first the crop was not plowed or cultivat- ed at all, but the weeds and grass were scraped away with a hoe. The crop made 68.2 bush els to the acre. In the second, the crop had four shallow culti- vations and made 70.3 bushels to the acre. In the third there were four deep cultivations, and the crop made 66.7 bushels to the acre. In the fourth the crop had eight shallow cultivations, and made 72.8 bushels to the acre. In the fifth case the crop had eight deep cultivations, and made 64.5 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 gath CT and thresh them. Get you a pea thresher. They are not ex- pensive, 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 a good pasture. You will need it for your work stock. A good pas ture saves lots of money. It will keep the stock going on light feed when not at work. Remem- Der that it costs about twice as much to feed work horse as it does to feed a farm hand. Every hour the work stock spends in a good pasture is a saving of money. Pasture for the summer and hay and forage crops for the winter will help you to be suc- cess as farmer.

Kendrie, who appeared at the festival
as coming from Boston, but who is
now a resident of South Bend.
The letter says in part:
Since the festival is in the nature
Of public welfare and interest pri-
marily, il does not seem right 10 us
who have been Mr.. Gritfith's earnest
supporters, that he should be held for
the deficit especially after his untiring
and unrewarded efforts. AS Editor
Watt Of the Music News says, South
Bend has long since learned 10 regard
Milton 3. Griffith as a fine musician,
a capable business man and a thor
Oughly dependable persOnage-one
whose word is as good as his bond
and who never lowers his standard nor
recedes from a well taken position
