in doing away with all clods and

big corn crop this fall. We have

enough corn to supply our home de-

st. Tammany lost several hundred
bushels of corn last year by the

that this article is written.

cultivating his crops. He had no
other for harvesting and spring teeth

SIDE DRESSING CORN PAYS.

When one has not used barn lot
manure literally no money could be
spent any safer than in buying about
IS pounds nitrate Of soda per acre
and useing it as side dressing. Most
all our pine lands are deficient in
available nitrogen. and the average
farmer does not want to buy high
priced ready-mixed fertilizer-it will
cost too much for what you get out
of it. Some Of the plant food in all
ready mixed stun does not become
available for some six weeks. 1t
would require 4 more quick acting
mixture to get full value for your
money. This we get in the form of
nitrate of sode. It contains 18 PEI
cent amonia and all Of it Is used by
the crop in maturing. Fifty to sew
enty-dve pounds per acre on corn
left standing ~ to 80 inches In T.
foot rows will be sufficient. Road
dust or ashes or sand can be used
for. filler to bring the mixture up
to where one can distribute 1t over
an acre. The nitrate should be ap-
piled at last cultivation.

total number of trips per row dur
ing the season were as follows:
Twice to the row with small scoote,
then hoed and thinned. Next run
around with 16-inch sweep, twice
to the row. When corn was about
waist high two burrows were given
with turn plow and later the middles
were plowed out twice to the row
with one-horse plow. A total o.
eight burrows, three more than the
above method, and one hoeing. Tho
yield was 80 bushels per acre. Now,
any one can see that any man who
, is determined to ntinue the use OF
the pillow and the old way in his corn
cultivation is not only loosing time
but corn and money. 1t costs a,
least 60 cents per acre, with man
and plow, to run the extra three fur
rows. or $3.50 per acre, and five
acres make q total of $500. Then
there was loss of five bushels OF
corn per acre, which, at Is cents per
bushel, give 1915. and five acres
makes q total loss of 1856. Ad.
the extra cost of cultivating $4,000
and on the five acres $27.75 was lost
and should have been and can be
avoided by any farmer. The amount
buy the implements necessary to do
away with the sweep, lister and pillow
in cultivation of the crop. The
spring tooth cultivator and Planet

cost 81 and $9-$16 for the two.

Tomatoes are 80 easy to grow that
