Thy and How Corn
Field Cultivation
Should Be Done

approximately 100. 100000 acres Of
corn in the United states are annually
gwen two or more CIVILIZATIONS. accord
Ing TO the United States Department
OF Agriculture. Cultivation is cons!-
dered essential in the corn production
The general purpose OF cultivation is to
promote the early growth and later de-
yClopment OF the corn plant. The usual
type of cultivation is sometimes modi-
tied TO meet special conditions such as
rptardiny the NEGATIVE growth OF the
plant by cutting the corn roots IN early
cultivation. The kind OF cultivation
will also vary To some extent 10 meet
requirements Of different methods OF
planting.
Some Of the most succe ssful corn
growers begin their cultivation before
they plant their crop. They claim thar
a deep cultivation of the soil at this
time is Of as much value as later cui-
tivations. IL causes the soil 10 warm
more quickly, destroys early Weeo
growth. and incorporates the vegetaose
matter moro thoroughly into the soil.
Corn is cultivated TO prevent weeds
from robbing the corn OF soil moisture
and fertility. to put the surface IN the
best condition to absorb rainfall. 10
warm the soil by drying its surface
quickly. and to save moisture by check-
ing the capillary rise to the soil sur
face.
Corn should be cultivated often

crop has attained its growth To sat

The crust must be broken and the soil

and evaporation will soon rob the crop
OF much needed moisture. Promptness
in restoring the soil mulch after eacn
rain is Of great importance. This WORK
can he rapidly and less extensively
performed by use Of double cultiva-
tors. and by driving astride each alter
nate row. as by this practice the mulch
Is restored in half the time necessary
to drive astride of every row.
Corn should not be cultivated so long
as the soil mulch is in good CONDITION
and free OF weeds. Corn should ne
cult!ated when the soil turns UP IN
clods, breaking the corn roots and per-
hitting the soil to dry out TO a greater
depth than it would if not cultivated
