RECORDS PROMISED IN 1920
Public Highways and Transporta.
tIon Facilities.

The year 1920 promises to develop a
revolution in Americas two great
problems-highways and transporta-
ton.
All over the country great interest
is being manifested in better roads
and improved transportation facili-
ties.
The coming Of the pneumatic-tired
motortruck has given an impetus to
the movement for a national highway
system that is sweeping everything
before 1t.
State after state has passed. with
out noticeable opposition, appropria-
tons for millions Of dollars to build
and improve main market and inter.
county highways.
What these activities portend can be
visualized in some measure when It Is
said that Of the 100000 miles Of
roads in this country only 200. 900 miles
are improved.
Motor transports work at highest ef-
ficiency on good roads, although the
pneumatic truck tire Is rendering con-
spicuous service In transporting
heavy loads over swamp ground and
the sandy soil Of fruit groves.
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1920-06-12

Evaporation Of moisture lowers tenn.
perature. A wet, evaporating soil sur
face Is cold. A dry soil surface Is
warm. A loose soil surface dries quick.
~ and the blanket of loose, dry soil
then checks evaporation, drinks in sun
shine, and becomes warm.
Watch your soil-its condition
should determine when to cultivate. Do
not let cracks form. They are holes
through which valuable moisture es-
capes. Do not cultivate when your
ground Is dry or wet enough to form
large clods. Clods tie up plant food
so that the corn roots cannot use it.
Watch Soil and Plants.
Do not waste cultivation. Cultiva-
ton may be actually injurious when
your soil Is so dry and hard as to
break into large dry clods.
Failure to cultivate promptly when
1t is needed to prevent the soil from
becoming cracked, hard, or weedy will
materially lessen the corn yield.
In addition to watching the soil,
watch the plants Their progress de-
termines how you should cultivate.
4 While the plants are small, cultivate
as deeply as the condition Of the soil
makes necessary. If your seed bed
was not well prepared before plant
ing, deep cultivation when the corn is
small is desirable. Get your soil into
open condition so that the corn roots
can reach out for food.
After the plants become foot high,
shallow cultivation only should be
given. The roots have spread out close
under the surface Of the soil and
would be injured by deep cultivation.
Never cultivate deeply close to corn
plants after they are foot high. Such
cultivation will break feeding roots and
cause injury to the plants.
Conserve Labor and Land.
Corn is the main support Of the ma
ton. Grown in every state Of the
Union. 1t exceeds any other crop In
acreage, production. value, and multi
plicity Of uses.
When land and labor were abundant,
production could be increased to meet
increasing demands by planting more
acres to corn. But the demand for
corn Is still increasing while available
labor is decreasing. The only way to
increase production is to make each
acre yield more bushels Of corn.
The average yield Of corn per acre
In the United States is about q BUSH
els. With good seed, fair soil, and
timely, careful cultivation, the yield
can be doubled, the specialists say.
That may be too much to strive for this
year, but proper methods should enable
you to obtain. with limited labor. as
good yields as you formerly grew-un-
less. Of course, you have always fol-
lowed the best cultural methods.
