Corn is sometimes injured more
than aided by cultivation, say special
lists in the United States department
of agriculture.
Pillow deep while sluggards sleep;
And you shall have corn to sell and to
keep.
Is excellent advice when preparing
the soil for planting, but Is bad prac-
tice after the plants have attained any
considerable size. Some successful
growers, who have averaged 100 bush
els of shelled corn to the acre on hum
dreds of acres, say the best single Gull
tiyation they can give their corn is
one eight or ten inches deep-just be-
fore planting. But after the corn is
up, each succeeding cultivation should
be shallower than the last.
Methods Of cultivation in one sec
ton Of the country differ greatly from
those in another section. Farmers
should not cease trying to learn bet
ter methods because of these differ
ences- The most valuable information
can be obtained from unprejudiced OBJ
servant corn growers of many years
experience.
Purposes of Cultivation.
The main purposes of cultivation are
to prevent weed growth, surface run
OF and the loss of moisture by evap-
grafton. Proper cultivation should Sc
cure these results regardless of the
specific means used. Some of the most
successful corn growers practice fire.
quent early cultivation. Early cult
vations will stimulate the growth of
the young corn plants by aerating and
warming the soil. They will also check
injury from worms, insects and mOles.
Harrows or weeders should be used
before the corn is up or while it is
small enough to permit their use. |
While the plants are small, narrow
'hovels that do not throw much soil,
)r disk cultivators set to throw the |
'oil from the corn should be used.
Tenders are desirable to prevent COW

lature for financing the elevator Is ex-
pressed by state Officials who are In

recently.
A meeting to seek means Of dispos-
Ing Of the bonds In order to begin

when the matter was thoroughly dis

during the first three weeks In April
08.2 per cent of such men discharged
