Approximately 100,000,000 acres Of
corn in the United States are annually
given two or more civilizations. Guilt
vation is considered essential In the
corn production. The general purpose
Of cultivation is 70 promote the early
growth and later development Of the
corn plant. The usual type of culti-
vation is sometimes modified to meet
special conditions, such as retarding
the vegetative growth Of the plant by
cutting the corn roots in early cultiva-
,tion. The kind of cultivation will also
vary to some extent to meet the re-
quirements Of different methods OF
planting. ..-.-~
Some of tie most successful corn
growers begin their cultivation before
they plant their crop. They claim
that a deep cultivation Of the soil at
this time is of as much value as later
CIVILIZATIONS. It causes the soil to
warm more quickly, destroys early
weed growth, and incorporates the veg.
etable matter more thoroughly into the
soil. .r~ =. -.
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, to
warm the soil by drying its surface
quickly, and to save moisture by check
ing the capillary rise to the soil sur.

Corn should be cultivated often
enough to keep down the weeds and to
maintain loose soil mulch until the

SOLDIER NOTES

Word has been received that Or
lando Worrell has ben transferred
from Camp Mead, Nd, to Camp Lee,
Va. This probably means that he will
soon be discharged.
Miss 'Corinne Markley, former Soc
ial Service nurse here and Miss Letha
Leary, formerly on the nursing staff
of the Audrain county hospital, arriv-
ed in this city Sunday night on a short
visit. Miss Markley has been ten

been stationed at Camp Cluster, Mich.
Both were Red Cross nurses in the
u. s. Service. Miss Markley was sta
toned at the U. S. Base Hospital at
Gieivres, France. She said she had no
thrilling experiences and, as was Miss
Leary, was glad to be back to Mexico.
They are the guests of Mrs. Frank
Van Ness. They will remain here a
few days before leaving to visit their
respective families. The Ledger joins
their many friends in welcoming them
home safe and sound.
Hollie Bradford who has been over
seas for some time arrived in this city
early Tuesday morning. He looks fine
and every one is glad to see him back.
Bradford was a member of the 349th

After being discharged he came back
to Mexico. Bradford had been in the
service for over a year.

MANY BRITISH ARE
CHOOSING ARMY LIFE

London, Mar. 11.-Thousands OF
the British army who recently be-
came so war weary that they openly
threatened mutiny unless they were
soon discharged, have turned about
face and are volunteering for the
new army, according to the military
authorities, who assert that they are
satisfied that there will be little diff
ficulty in securing the 100000 men
who will do Great Britain's share in
safeguarding the peace the allies
have won.
The causes said to have sent the
men floeking back to the colors are
the Unexpectedly large war bonus Of
fered to men who take on" and the
acute industrial situation. The first
factor has been OF prime Importance
in the case of boys from IS to 21
who have been two or more years
already in the army and who have
no trade to fall back upon in civilian
life. In the new army they will be
fed, clothed and sheltered and draw
minimum of about IS week as
pocket money. They have quickly
awakened to the realization that
there is no such prospect awaiting
them on a return to "civies."
The Industrial upheaval plays the
main part in the decision Of the old
er men. In the first rush for de-
mobilization no man was permitted
to go who had not definite offeI
Of employment. The government
did all in its power to make certain
that such offers were bona-fide but
in spite Of every precaution thou
sands of men got their release OF
bogus papers. These men soon found
themselves in an unenviable position
They could not get work and the,
faced some very uncomfortable in
quiries IL they applied for the out
of-work pay provided for those wh'
are idle through no fault Of thei
own. The recruiting sergeant wa
an easy road out of their troubles
and that astute individual, VIII,
draws a bonus for each recruit, wa
not blind to his opportunities.

OFFICIALLY SUBSIDIZED

In North Dakota the non-partisan
league proposed in each county an
official state-owned newspaper.
As an example of crooked thinking
consider this extract from a COM
munication to the Spokane Spokes-
man-Review:
North Dakota is going to own
and operate the press. Each county
will vote its own managers and have
full control of the county paper.
That means the people can do their
own thinking without depending on
the political kept press"
What else would that be but "po-
litical kept press" run by politicians
its news selfishly colored by politi-
clans wanting to continue themselves
in office and power?
Probably the advocates OF that
dark practice of the middle ages
think it would be progressive. II
truth and history 1t would be the
most reactionary step taken by the
American people since the founda
tion of this government. 1t would bt
a reversion to political practices
adopted after the invention Of NOV
able types and the printing press
when the English government "own
ed and operated the press"

GREATER ACTIVITY ANTlCI'
PATED

Relative to the situation of west
ern metal mines prominent pro-
ducer says: 1T would seem as
though the turn has come. There
has been some little business doing,
chiefly for March delivery, and sales
February 9th for instance amount
ed to probably 100000 pounds.
Small, it is true, but encouraging.
Manufacturers must realize that
at prevailing prices they are getting
copper below the cost of production.
The price of lead also seems to
have touched bottom and started up.
No one believes that an era Of
Industrial depression which would be
indicated by wholesale closing down
Of factories is about to set in. Much
Of the present buying apathy is due
to lack of confidence in the present
price level-to a desire on the part
of merchants and distributors to
postpone purchases until values be-
come cheaper, but so far as western
metals are concerned the bottom
seems to have been reached.
Meantime the manufacturing cur
tailment that is now proceeding is
the best assurance that the markets
will not become glutted with goods.
The readjustment to peace basis
seems to be working out slowly and
surely and satisfactorily and to be
reaching the point where greater ac-
tivity might soon be reasonably ex-
pected.

NO TIME FOR PEssIMIsM

Despite the demand from organiz-
ed labor for higher wages and the
reluctance of commodities to drop;
despite the threat of bolshevism,
this is no time for pessimism. The
needs Of the hour are vision and
courage, faith in the United States
and faith in ourselves. The league
of nations looks fine in theory and
