HOW TO MAKE
BIG CORN CROPS


Let us urge the planting Of a
large part of our best lands to
corn. That is, the lands best suit
ed to corn, or those moist and the
best supplied with humus. we
need a large corn crop in 1915,
because it will probably be high
in price, and cotton, the only crop
that will be generally grown and
sold to get money with which to
buy corn, is likely to be relative
ly low in price. But we do not
need corn produced at the rate of
Is to 20 bushels per acre, for at
that rate it costs too much. Land
that will not grow more than ~
bushels of corn per acre with
good preparation and cultivation
should be put in cowpeas, pea
nuts, soy beans, sorghum or SOW
ed to lespedeza or other pasture
plants and grazed.
But there is little cultivated
land in the South that would not
produce more than 20 bushels OF
corn per acre if well cultivated.
1t is now too late to prepare land
for large corn production. Only
years of proper cropping, with
the addition of legumes or stable
manure plowed under in large
quantities will make a soil that
will produce large corn yields.
But thorough preparation, which
means a soil broken to good
depth and finely pulverlzed-
free from clods-and good cult
walton might alone increase our
corn yields five to ten bushels
per acre, and it is probable that
lust the area now planted to corn
would supply all our needs if each
acre produced even 30 bushels
per acre. This is not a high yield
and could be made the Southern
average with little more than
good seed, better preparation and
suitable cultivation. Large yields,
as already stated, can only come
after years of good farming by
which our soils are filled with
decaying vegetable matter to
supply nitrogen and hold the
moisture needed in such large
quantities by the corn crop.
In short, we must this year de-
pend largely on better prepara-
ton and cultivation to fill our
corn cribs. Commercial fertilizers
are only profitable on corn when
used in moderate quantities and
with more knowledge than the
average farmer possesses. Nitro
gen is the chief need of the corn
crop, but on most soils phospho-
rus is needed and on some soils
potash is also required.
We suggest that best means
left at this late date to increase
the corn crop are good breaking
and thorough pulverization of
the soil. Let us insist that no
corn be planted this year until
the ground is finely pulverized.
Clods can be broken more easily,
quickly and economically before
the crop is planted, and a day or
two spent in filming the soil will
not only make a better crop but
it can also be more cheaply Guilt
vited and will not be later than
the crop planted on land left clod-
DIV to save time and get it in ear
ly. After the crop is planted, on
well prepared land, the smooth
ing or section harrow is the best

and most economical implement
for early cultivation of the crop.
Labor-saving implements cannot
he used in cultivating if the land
has not been well prepared-The
Progressive Farmer.
More young colts probably die
from getting too much milk the
first few weeks than from any
other cause. Avoid overlooking
the mare the first two weeks and
if she is a heavy mixer increase
the feed slowly and gradually,
When the colt is two months or
more old it will take lots of milk
and the mother should be fed lib
orally on milk-making feeds
green grass, legumeh, hays, oats,
cottonseed meal 1.-TWO pounds per
day.. Corn is good, but alone it is
not suitable feed. Also start the
colt eating oats and good grass
hay as early as possible.-The
Progressive Farmer.
