low cultivation. Occasions when
deep cultivation is preferable are
few. The roots of the plants must
not be broken. They will produce
other roots. but at the expense Of
vitality and food supply.
After the corn is two or three
feet high, the soil even in the mid
die of the rows should not be Gull
tivated deeper than four inches, and
usually a shallow cultivation will
prove better. Maintain a loose soil
mulch two or three inches thick
This prevents the escape Of mois-
ture already in the soil and soaks
up the rainfall rather than letting
it run off.

quent should be the civilizations.
After the mulch has been produced,
it's frequent stirring is not neces-
sary unless weeds become trouble
some. Many crops are cut short by
stopping cultivation because the
corn is too tall to use a double Gull
tivator without breaking down the
stalks. If conditions demand it, con-
tinue shallow cultivation even
though the corn is tasseling. It is
sometimes profitable to remove
weeds even by the costly process of
hand labor at as late date as the
Silking Of the corn.
Under some conditions SIX or
eight civilizations are advisable,
while under other conditions three
MAY be sufficient. The maximum
yield is not obtained by the num-
Der Of civilizations. but by keeping
the soil in the proper condition.

should examine his Irish potato

Interest in stump eradication is

recently at COrdee, Ga, illustrated
the ease with which a geld of stumps
may be turned into q producing and
valuable plot of ground.
\ group of prominent business men
were invited recently to witness

field, full of stumps of all sizes and
shapes was chosen for the expert
ment. One OF the largest. which
looked as though it might defy the
mightiest power to dislodge it. was
chosen first and the machine hitched
to it. Mr.. Williamson directed that
the triple-power lever be used, and
by the watch, the huge stump was
out of the ground within four min
utes. AS the cable frightened for the
job, Mr.. Williamson remarked that
the pressure on the rope was close to
12Q tons.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 5.-That
the use of American domestic potash

of DR.. A. c. Summers, state chem

THE WILT DISEASE OF THE
TOMATO
V. R. N, Macon, Ga, writes:
would like 10 know how to treat tomato
! plants when they suddenly and seemingly
without cause begin to wilt, and soon
die.
There is nothing in the world you
can do for tomato plants which sud
denly Wither up as yours are evil
IDENTIFY doing. When this occurs they
have been attacked by what is
known as, the wilt disease. This is
fungus which finds access to the
plants very likely through the roots.
When it gets into the plant it grows
up through the warer-carrying YES
sells and chokes these, thereby caus-
ing the sudden death of the plant.
This fungus lives over in the soil
apparently from year to year, hence
after tomatoes. Rotate this crop in
your garden. By doing this you
will frequently be able to raise a
satisfactory crop where failure
would otherwise result. Do not use
yard manures for fertilizing tomato
thrown out in the litter, and when
this occurs the spores are provided
with conditions favorable to their
development -
The writer had much difficulty in
growing tomatoes for several years
where yard manures were used. By
rotating the crop in the garden and
using. commercial fertilizers this
trouble has been successfully over
come for several years. ....
Some varieties of tomatoes are
much more susceptible TO this dis
ease than others. In e purchasing
seeds or buying plants secure those
which are accounted to be the most
resistant. Whenever a plant shows
evidences of whiting, you should i'm
mediately pull it up and burn it. Do
not throw it out on the ground
where it will tend to spread around
lot more spores to reproduce the
disease anther year.
In your present case the best
thing to do is to plant a few more
tomatoes in a section of the garden
removed as far as possible from the
location of the present plants. Pos
sibly in this way you can raise a
good late crop during the present
year.

what Causes Wart9

Wart is caused by a parasitic
fungus (Chrysophlyctis endobiotica
Schilb), which penetrates the outer
layers of the potato and stimulates
them to abnormal development, thus
causing the characteristic warty
outgrowths. Millions of reproductive
bodies. called sporangia, are form
ed in the wart tissue and are re-
leased into the soil when the wart
