]E5HRM BOYS

HOW DEEP Do YOU CULTIVATE?
You are probably engaged just
how in one of the most strenuous
Jobs of the year;i e. the cultivat-
ing of corn.
The question is, what rule do you
follow in regard to the depth of
cultivation; and how can you tell
whether you are stirring the ground
to the proper depth or not? E
You have probably noticed that
different farmers have different
ideas regarding this, for while some
are using large shovels others are
using small ones; and you may have
decided from this that the depth Of
cultivation is matter of little con-
sequence.
Have you ever made a careful
study of the root system Of corn?i 4
Some plants, such as alfalfa and
the clove1s, have large, long tap
roots which give off many branch
es as they go down Others have
no tap roots at all but great
bundle of thread-like, or fibrous
| roots, spreading in every direction
from the base of the stem instead.
Corn belongs to this latter class
| Of plants. While it is small, the
root systems do not extend out far
| between the rows; but by the time
it is half grown they have usually
become so long that the roots
from adjacent rows haave met be-
| tween the rows. If you should dig
into the ground at present in your
corn field, for example, you would
probably find that this meeting of
the roots will soon take place; and
you would also find that many of
the long fibrous roots are within
three or four inches of the sur
| face.
| This is the way to tell how deep
corn may be cultivated. Corn grows
much faster than most other plants,
which means that it needs much
more moisture and plant food. Is
it not reasonable, then, to say that
none of it's roots, which are bring
ing to it thiss large food supply,
should be severed by the cultivator
shovels if we wart the plants to
make their best growth?

RIDING FISH TO DEATH
is NOT CATCHING THEM

Appleton Wis, June 17.-Rid-
ing fish and killing it is not catch
ing it. Such is the decision of the
state game wardens in the case of
Hiram Beveridge.
The water in the Fox river has
been low of late and Hiram saw a
siX-foot sturgeon in shallow pool
below the, John street dam. He tried
to catch it by the tail, but failed.
Then he jumped and landed on it's
back 1t was worse than riding a
bucking broncho, but he seized a
stone when the fish was floundering
in shallow water and beat it to
death.
Hirams knees were scraped raw
and his legs cut, but he got seventy
pounds of fish and furnished the
basis for new legal decision to
ring down the ages.
