racial feeling in a number of cities.
protestants today prepared to make an
effort in another direction to prevent
the showing of the picture here.
What this step will be they would
not disclose, but it was broadly hinted
that the courts might be appealed to.
Il cannot say what the procedure
will be-" stated Rev. j. Milton Wald-
ron, who has taken an active part in
seeking action by the Commissioners,
but 1t is certain that we will do
the picture from being shown in Wash
lngton. We will not violate the law,
but intend to- go as far as possible
within the law to accomplish this end"
Have No Authority.
The Commissioners had been asked
to give hearing in the matter. but
refused the request when informed by
the corporation counsel that they had
no authority to bar the picture from
the capital.

thority might be raised the District
heads. said Rev. Waldron, had been re-

1t developed today that the Commits
sioners have received about thirty pro-
tests from associations and individuals,
all of them based on the proposition
that the picture tends to create racial
prejudice and, for this reason, should
not be shown.
Barred From Some States.
So far as could be learned, the Com
missioners have not been presented
with any records showing how the pic
ture was received in other cities, but,
according to Rev. Waldron. such in
formation would have been presented
at the hearing requested. He said that
the picture has been barred from the
states of Ohio, Kansas and Michigan
and that it has caused disturbances in
several cities, particularly in Boston,
Philadelphia, New York and d number
of towns in Pennsylvania.
Rev. Waldron also remarked that in

of court proceedings instituted else
where to prohibit the showing of the
film. He said ne had been Informed
that legal action had been successfully
instituted by opponents of the picture
in several cities.

profit. The fact is that the time is
near at hand when we must give great
err attention to the fertility of our soil.
What is needed is more clover, bet
ter use Of barnyard manure and less of
the continuous cropping with corn, oats
and wheat.
Fall Flowing for Corn.
There is a difference of opinion re-
garding the merits of fall and spring
blowing for corn. Among the advan-
tages Of fall blowing are the follow
ing:
/. The work is done at the slackest
time Of the year, when both men and
teams would otherwise be idle.
s 2. Having the ground already plowed
In the spring gives us time to better
prepare the ground, and, what is of
equal Importance, to get our corn in
on time.
8. A better prepared and a warmer
seed bed, and consequently better
stand Of corn.
4. Less danger from insect enemies,
especially in the case OF sod ground.
s. Weeds are prevented from seed
Ing and the seeds already in the ground
will mostly terminate and be killed by
the fall freezes before they have
seeded.
Some disadvantages of fall blowing
are:
/. Occasional losses from blowing
and washing on rolling ground.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1916-08-25

2. Unless the ground is disked early
in the spring there is a loss of moisture
and a consequent firing of the corn
during the latter part Of July and Au
gust, especially in dry seasons.
8. The fall blowing does not give as
good an opportunity to spread manure
during the late summer and through
the winter.
The soils department of the Iowa
State college has conducted many ex
periments with fall and spring blowing
in different parts of Iowa, and in every
case the yield of corn was greater on
the fall blowing than on the spring
blowing.
The mistake is commonly made of
leaving the fall-plowed ground without
disking until time to plant. The. ground
has become packed by snow and rain
and should be disked or narrowed as
soon as the oat seeding is over. This
will conserve the moisture and lessen
the firing of the corn in August, so
common to fall blowing.
Ground that is very rolling and like
ly to wash should not be plowed in the
fall.
Late Planting Bad.
One of the most serious losses to the
corn crop every year is due to late
planting. Experiments show that late
planted corn seldom yields as much as
that planted earlier. and the quality is
inferior. The ground becomes hard
and out of condition, the weeds have

PREPARING SOIL FOR CORN
BY PROF. P. G. HOLDEN,

There are no 'ironclad" rules which
may be followed blindly for the grow
ing of corn any more than in other
farm work.
There is no one best method suited
to all sections or to the different soils
of a section nor even to the different
fields of the same farm. Frequently
two very different methods may give
equally good results.
slave good ground, do the work on
time, and do it thoroughly" should be
the motto of every corn grower.
Nothing can make up for poor
ground. Too many are trying to raise
corn on old "worn-out" ground that
has produced corn, oats and wheat for
years. j met man at an institute in
Illinois who said in all seriousness that
he was satisfied the seasons were less
favorable for growing corn than they
used to be, as he could get no such
crops as he used to raise. Inquiry de-
veloped that he had grown corn for II
years in succession on the same piece
of ground. No wonder the seasons
were becoming less favorable"
Let us remember that it was but a.
few years ago that the farms Of the
corn belt were broken from the virgin
soil, and that because we have been
able to crop the ground continuously in
the past, is no assurance that we may
continue to do so in the future with
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1916-08-25

in lumpy, dry soil. The moisture is not
sufficient for rapid termination, much
of it sours or rots, and the remainder
comes up unevenly, with large per
cent Of sickly plants. This condition
is most frequently found where the
spring blowing is not followed by the
harrow the same day or where the disk
was. not used in preparing the seed bed
and especially when these two condi-
tons are accompanied by dry, cold
May.
Cultivation.
Cultivation should be level and fire.
quent when the corn is small. 1t may
be deep at first, but it must be shallow
later.
Many assume that there is nothing
more to do after the corn is planted for
two weeks, or until it is up and large
enough for the first cultivation. There
are others who believe in narrowing
and even in cultivation before the corn
is up, but on account of the pressure Of
work neglect it. Where ground is left
two weeks and often longer it becomes
foul with weeds, which take up the
moisture and plant food and also make
it difficult to work the corn. The
ground becomes packed by the rains
and baked by the sun until it is hard
and dry.
It is especially important in the case
of corn that it should not become
stunted when young, as it never fully
RECEIVERS even under the mcBt favorable
conditions.
The time to kill weeds is before they
come up and before they have deprived
the corn of moisture and nourishment.
Where it is possible to do SO it is a
good plan to cultivate the corn once
before it comes up, following the culti-
vator with the harrow.
This practice of cultivating the field
before the corn is up following the
planter marks as guide, is a good
one, and especially on old and badly
worn ground or heavy clay ground and
land that has become foul.
It is a common practice with some
to harrow corn after it is up, but pre-.
fer to cultivate and harrow as de-
scribed above, especially on cornstalk
ground. Even on stubble ground the
harrow does considerable damage to
the young corn.
It is very common mistake to cult
vate shallow when the corn is small
and '1ay it by with deep cultivation.
The reverse will be more profitable.
There is little danger to the roots from
deep cultivation the first time and
there is great advantage going deeD
enough to secure a good mulch.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1916-08-25

First, because the weeds which have
been started will be prevented from
seeding, and the weed seeds will be
brought near to the surface, where
they will terminate and be killed by
the frost before they have seeded in
the fall; and second, there is more
spare time for the work.
Late fall blowing is best for soil be-
cause:
/. 1t gives US the benefit of late SUM
mer pasture.
2. 1t is the best possible place to
spread the barnyard manure during
August and September, as there is the
least danger of washing or teaching.
8. The ground can be much better
prepared and with less work than when
ploWed in the spring.
4. There is less danger from damage
by cutworms and other insect enemies.
Spring Flowing Abused.
We often abuse our spring blowing
by turning the earth up to the sun and
dried winds to bake and dry out, de-
p0uUlQS upon IL SHOWER 10 luOl1OW C1AG
ground before planting time.
With spring blowing it is a good rule
never to leave the field at noon or
might without narrowing the newly
plowed ground. In my estimation no
ground can be properly prepared, CIV
ing a good seed bed for corn, without
the use of the disk.
Deapth to PIow.
What is known as deep blowing is
not advisable in the corn belt.
There is seldom any advantage in
blowing more than six inches deep. On
heavy soils the bad effects of too deep
blowing are often apparent for several
years.
Too Deep Planting.
Too deep planting is especially bad
when the seed is weak or the spring is
cold and backward When the ground
is not well prepared or is very mellow,
there is danger of putting the seed down
four or five inches when two inches
would be better.
Dry, MeaIy Surface Bed.
On the other hand, there is no more
serious mistake than shallow planting
