FARMERS COUNCIL

Contrary TO the usual understand
Ing that an agricultural agent should
be responsible for all movements for
improved farming and marketing
methods. Benton county has also an
agricultural council of farmers who
meet with the agricultural agent L.
NJ Lampson, regularly for the pur-
pose Of assisting him plan the work
which should be undertaken for the
good OF the industry in the county.
This council is responsible for def
mite work in carrying these plans in
to effect
The agricultural agent visited
each farmers organization in the
county and requested that an agri-
cultural committee of three be elect
ed whose duties should be to pro-
vide a program of useful work for
the organization. The chairman Of
this committee would be the repre-
sentative of that organization upon
the agricultural council of the
county. These representatives from
all the farmers organizations in the
county should meet regularly to
make a systematic study of the farm
ers' problems in the county as a
whole and in the various communi-
ties and advise with the agricultural
agent relative to the most important
necessary lines of work to be under
taken.
The work of the agricultural
agents office during the past year
was reviewed and discussed. Recon-
mendations were made relative to
those phases of his work which
should be continued and emphasized
during the coming year and in which
the council would interest itself. The
policy of the office on marketing was
outlined and was strongly favored
for the coming year.
\ motion recommending that the
county be represented by a credit

passed unanimously and a motion
was passed providing for the APP
pointment of a State Fair Commit

CORN HINTS
Non-irrigated Districts

From now until corn is ripe the
most important operation is cultiva-
ton. You should cultivate to accom-
plish two things.
|. Keep the corn clean from
weeds Even a few weeds will rob
the corn of much plant food and
moisture and reduce the yield
2. Keep the surface loose and
mellow in order to hold the moisture
and permit the air to enter the soil
more readily.
If soil becomes crusted after "a
rain it should be cultivated. Guilt
walton should be shallow and the sur
face of the soil should be kept level
Long, sharp-pointed cultivator teeth
cut off many corn roots and injure
the crop. The deepest cultivation
should be given while the corn is
small (4-10 inches high) but should
not be over three or four inches
deep. the later civilizations not being
over two or three inches deep Leave
as few tracks as possible to lessen
evaporation. 1t is not usually wise
to cultivate with horse after the
corn begins to tassel because Of the
danger of breaking the brace roots
which come out near or above the
surface and of knocking down the
corn.-George Severance, State Col
lege of Washington.
Irrigated Districts
The ground must be cultivated
enough times to keep the weeds en-
tirely out and prevent the soil from
baking around the roots of the corn.
This surface mulch will save the use
of too much water before the tassels
begin to form. The less water and
the more cultivation until the tassels
start, the better.
Any attempt to supply the corn
with water by surface irrigation in
stead of conserving the moisture al
ready in the ground by cultivation
will prove fatal to your corn crop.
Repeated pouring of water from the
surface and allowing it to eyapor-
ate because of lack of mulch on
the surface will bake the soil, a con-
dition to which corn roots are ex-
trmely sentisitye. This is generally
the cause of corn turning yellow.
The corn should be given only
enough water to keep the leaves
from curling until the tassels appear

was to go to trial before Judge Geo.

The fistic encounter that resulted in
the issue of a warrant is alleged to
