Harrow Corn to Get Rid of
Weeds.

narrow corn to Get Rid of
Weeds.
The College of Agriculture has
recently received a number of in
quires from Missouri farmers
similar to the following
81 expect to harrow my corn
this spring. When should the
first narrowing be done and how
long can | continue it?"
In answering this question, c.
B. Hutchinson of the Department
Of Farm Crops says: 'The value
Of the harrow in cultivating corn
depends largely upon the season
and to some degree upon the
soil. In a normal season the Gull
tivation of corn should begin by
narrowing lightly before the
corn comes up, or at least once
or twice before the corn is large
enough to cultivate with a cult
vator. This is an especially good
practice if planting has been fol-
lowed by a rain that has packed
the soil and caused a crust to
form on top through which the
plants have difficulty in break
ing. This early narrowing will
also conserve moisture by stir
ring the top layer of soil and
forming a mulch which is i'm
portant in a dry season.
'On wet land and in wet sea-
sons the weeds and grass are
apt to be too far advanced for a
narrow 10 90 much good by the
time one can get on the field.
these conditions a deeper
running implement that will stir
the soil more should be used"
Weeds are more easily killed
as they are just coming through
the soil. Narrowing at this time
is much more efficient in destroy
ing weeds than deeper cultiva-
tons later in the season. The
most important function of corn
cultivation is the control of
weeds and the field should be
cleaned out just as early as pos
AN ordinary spike tooth har-
row with the teeth slanting
slightly backwards, or a weeder,
are best adapted for this pur-
pose. If conditions will permit.
it is well to harrow once before
the corn is up and again before it
IS large enough to cultivate in
the ordinary way. Where the
weeds are not too numerous and
persistent a weeder may be sue
'essfully used until the plants
are SIX or eight inches high"

survey of the production anc

United States, made by the De
partment of Agriculture, ind
Gates that the eight most impor
tant commercial strawberry dis
tricts are Central California
Tennessee, Maryland, Delaware
Southern Louisiana, North anC
South Carolina, Virginia, and the
Ozarks. In 1914, 1905 carloads
of Strawberries were shipped

quantities were shipped from the
other districts which are named
in the order of their Importance
From the Ozarks came 748 car
loads last year.
The authors of the survey.
which is published in Bulletin
1877 of the United States De
partment Of "A agriculture e,
strawberry Supply and Distri-
button in 1914" point out, how
ever, that the North plays a
more important part in the
strawberry industry than these
figures might Indicate. Great
quantities of berries are grown
in the North in small patches
and shipped to market by trolly,
express, or in the producers own
wagon. Only a very small por-
ton of northern-grown berries
are concentrated into carload
lots, the basis for the Govern
ment survey. In the South,
on the Pacific Coast,
berries are shipped long
distances it is economical to ar
range to have them sent by car
The bulletin already mentioned
a list of all shipping sta
lions in the United States where
shipments originate, to-
gether with the number of car
sent out in 1914. From this
list it appears that there was a
grand total of 14,553.2 carloads
strawberries shipped COM
mercially in 1914. OF these
2,312 came from California, the
States closest competitor being
Tennessee with a total of 1,571.5.
Another chart in the bulletin
shows the duration of the ship
ping seasons in the various sec
tons. Strawberries begin to
leave Central Florida as early as
December and the movement
continues until the end of March.
By the first of March the first
strawberries from Southern
and Southern California
find their way to the market.
About the middle of March the
Louisiana crop begins to move,
continuing about two months or
until the middle of May. May is,
indeed, the great month for car
.oad shipments. BY far, the
part of the Tennessee
and Virginia crop is shipped at
that time, as well as much of the
Southern Illinois, and
Maryland supply. By the end of
Southern California is al
most the only area from which
carload shipments are being
made. The Strawberries then on
he market are chiefly grown in
small quantities in areas close to
