INTEREST IN CORN CLUB.

Jackson, Miss, April 20.-With the
planting season throughout the state
fairly on, both with senior and junior
farmers, and with the season retarded
unusually owing to stress of weather,
the demonstration forces of the state
are unusually busy. Especially is this
true of the county demonstrators,
whose services are in constant de-

many of these agents would be glad
if it were possible to multiply their
personality, and be able to be in a
dozen parts of their territory at the

throughout the state is claiming the

up, Mr.. Cobb has addressed general
battle cry letter to them, through their
county superintendent, with instruc-
tions to be followed at the outset, es-
pecially as to soil preparation, fertili-
cation and other essentials to success
full operation. This letter, which will
be mailed out in few days, is as fol-
lows:
Letter of instructions.
ITO Corn Club Boys-The planting
season is on in most parts Of the state
and I hope you have your acre pre-
pared well, that you have good seer,
that you are using barnyard manure
and other fertilizers as are necessary.
Preparation is more than half the
battle. Don't stop till you are sure
that you have your acre in the very
best possible condition. Disc or har-
row in your manure. If you are to use
fertilizers it will be best to use acid
phosphate, cottonseed meal and nj
trate of soda. Put out your acid phos-
plate before you plant. Do the same
with the cottonseed meal. It is safe
to mix the phosphate and meal togeth-
er, 200 or 800 pounds of each. Be sure
to mix the fertilizer well with the SOIL
If you are planning to use nitrate Of
soda, put that out about the time
your corn is waist high using from rs
to $50 pounds per acre.
PLANT On the level or wide beds
(some can plant below the leveD, use
twice as much seed as you wish to
grow.
Begin cultivation before the corn
comes up, using a section harrow, or
one-half of a section harrow. Just
after your corn is up use the section
harrow, running it diagonally across
the rows with the teeth slanting back.
If you have had several hard rains it
may be a good plan to cultivate deep
before the corn is more than 16 inches
high. 1t is dangerous to cultivate
deep after corn is more than Is inches
high. Cultivate once each week, when
it is dry enough, till the corn is in
roasting ear Cultivate just as soon
after every rain as possible not to cul-
tivate too wet. If you would plant
peas in your corn it will be necessary
to lay by earlier than just suggested,
perhaps when the corn is punching for
tassel.
"By all means don't forget to keep a
record of everything you do to your
acre. A record book is inclosed In
which you may keep your records.
Read this book carefully and hang 1t
up on a nail so you can find it. Hang
it up just as you would an old-fashion-
ed almanac. This record means more
