is small enough to permit their use.
While the plants are small, narrow
shovels that do not throw much soil,
or disk cultivators set to throw the
soil from the corn should be used.
Tenders are desirable to prevent cover
ing or injuring the small plants.
Many tests Of deep and shallow cul-
tivation have been made, and results
are decidedly in favor of shallow cul-
tivatiOn. Occasions when deep culti
vation 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 sup
ply.
After the corn is two or three feet
high. the soil even in the middle Of the
rows should not be cultivated deeper
than four inches. and usually shall
lower cultivation will prove better.
Maintain loose soil mulch two OF
three inches thick. This prevents the
escape Of moisture already in the soil
and soaks up the rainfall rather than
letting it run off.
Cultivate often enough to keep
down weeds and to maintain con-
stantly a loose soil mulch until the
| corn abs reached its growth. More
CIVILIZATIONS will be needed if rains
are frequent. The crust which forms
after every rain must be broken anG
pulverized.

WILLARD DEFEATED IN
THREE ROUND BATTLE

TOLEDO. O.-The title of World
Heavyweight Champion passed to
Jack Dempsey on July 4th after an
easy victory over Jess willard. The
bout was tagged in the mammoth arena
built at Bay View Park, Toledo. The
attendance was not as large as ex-
pected as the total of about 10000 Oc-
cupied only half the seating capacity.
Exactly twelve minutes after
Dempsey and Willard entered the ring
and just nine minutes of actual fight
ing. the superman of the fight world
'threw up the sponge" to the rugged
young Dempsey. who is fifteen years
his junior.
Dempsey was borne out upon the
shoulders Of his admirers while the
defeated champion went to the wait
ing automobile amid the jeers of the
many who had put their money on the
tall giant.
Already Jack Kearns, Dempsey S
manager, is receiving offers from fight
promoters who are anxious to stage q
bout on Labor Day between the new
heavyweight champion and one Of the
several ambitious young fighters who
are already after his scalp.

Corn Is sometimes injured more
than aided by cultivation, say special
lists in the U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture.
"Plow 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 practice
after the plants have attained any
considerable size. Some successful
growers, who have averaged 100
bushels Of shelled corn to the acre on
hundreds Of acres. say the best single
cultivation they can give their corn is
one eiHht or ten inches deep-just be-
fore idanting. But after the corn is
up, each succeeding cultivation should
be shallower than the last.
Methods of cultivation in one Sec
tion 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 off and the loss Of moisture by
evaporation. Proper cultivation should
secure these results regardless of the
specific means used. Some of the most
successful CON growers practice fire.
Quent early cultivation. Early culti-
vations will stimulate the growth of
thetToung 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

About 1900 pieces of baggage find
their way into these 'graveyards' OF
the business, eighty percent OF them

The present campaign aims to cure
this trouble.
Pointing out the tremendous grow
tn of the express business in recent
years, Agent hurry stated that more
than 800, 600 900 shipments year are
being handled by the American Rail
way Express Company, which is op-
Grating the express business on all the
railroads of the country. About 1885,
900 employees are now engaged in var
ious branches of the service.
He declared that this made 1t
the most extensive transportation or
ganization in the world and that the
centralized management has made it
possible to strengthen and better the
service since the merger Of the pre-
Viously separate lines. The consoli-
dation has also cleared the way for
an aggressive drive to improve inter
nal operating conditions and methods
and the Better Service Campaign Is
the first step in this direction.

This FAMILY
ESCAPED FLU
Georgia Farer Declares That all His
Neiehbors Had the "Flu"; Several
Deaths Among Them and His Fam
ily Escaped. Says That Dresco
Kept it Off.

81 believe that my family escaped
having the flu because we all took
Dreco. and kept our systems in good
condition, that We just threw it off
instead of taking it," are the words
of the well known and highly re-
spected farmer, Mr. E. F. Jones, of
Byron, Ga r
II have suffered more or less all
along from headaches, constipation,
kidney trouble and their complica-
lions, and even though have taken
many different mericines, they seem
ed to only give temporary relief.
Dreco was being so widely adver-
tised that | decided to try it, and
am mighty glad that did for it has
proven to be the best medicine that
l ever had in my life. My wife, my
self and the children take it three
times q day, and it has done every
one of us good, and | am glad to say
ward in the papers that may induce
some other person to try it, for |
know will be doing them afavor."
Dreco is made from the juices of
roots, herbs, barks and berries,
which act on the bowels and relieve
constipation, revives the liver to full
action, thereby relieving headaches,
dizzy spells, sDots,T dancing before
the eyes, foul breath, flweary eyes
and billiousness. Dreco strengthens
the kidneys which in turn stop rheu-
matism for we all know that rheu-
matism comes from the kidneys;
banishes catarrh from the head and
stomach by acting through the
blood, WHICH is the only way to ac-
tually and fully get rid of catarrh.
