Conserve Labor and Land.

Conserve Labor and Land.
Corn is the main support Of the
Nation. Grown in every State Of the
Union, it exceeds any other crop in
acreage, production, value, and null
tiplicity of uses.
When land and labor were abun-
dant, 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. 4.
The average yield Of corn per acre
in the United States is about 27
bushels. 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

time or actually injurious under cer-
tain conditions. Cultivation by a
hard-and-fast rule is likely to do more
harm than good. Government corn
specialists give the following general
principles as to time and manner of
cultivating corn:
Cultivation Has Three Objects.
There are three main purposes of
rultivatieal-to store moisture, co de-
stroy weeds, to warm the soil.
Keep the soil surface loose and open
This will let the rain soak in quickly
and reduce waste. In fair weather it
will prevent the subsoil from drying

out. A properly cultivated surface
soil will send moisture, laden with
plant food, up through the corn roots
and stalks to make ears.
Every weed in cornfield is an
enemy. 1t drinks up moisture and
consumes plant food that should go to
make corn kernels instead of weed
seed. Destroy weeds when they ap-
pear. Attack them, if possible, in fair
weather. You will then have the sun
as a powerful ally.
Evaporation of moisture lowers
temperature. A wet, evaporating
soil surface is cold. A dry soil sur
face is warm. A loose soil surface
| dries quickly and the blanket of loose,
| dry soil then checks evaporation,
drinks in sunshine, 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
escapes. 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 can not use it.
Watch Soil and Plants.
Do not waste cultivation. Cultiva-
tion may be actually injurious when
soil is SO dry and hard as to break
into large dry clods.
Failure to cultivate promptly when
| it 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.
While the plants are small, cult
vate as deeply as the conGition of the
soil makes necessary. If your seed
bed was not well prepared before
planting, 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.

ADAMANA NOTES

The political campaign in Adamana precinct just end ed partook somewhat of a vegetable flavor, for there were three candidates for justice of the peas and a pair of 'em got beets.
 It is now claimed by one of the defeated candidates for justice of the peace for Adamana precinct in the contest just ended that if he had have chosen a time when there were no other candi- dates in the field to do his runnin' his chances for cleo tion would have been ninety per cent better. We very much doubt this.
 A letter sent to "Cheery Annie," "the Los Angeles EX- aminer's love doctor, by one of the most popular ladies of Adamana, was returned to the writer with the infor- nation that the Examiner was not printed on asbestos paper.
 Baby Helen (Happy) Don ahoe has been quite sick the past week on account of the advent of a couple O teeth. Store teeth are so cheap now we see no reason why Miss Happy's parents could not get her a set and thereby save her so much annoyance with the kind she is trying to propagate.
 The Adamana Sunday school celebrated the finger ing spirit of Halloween at the school house Monday evening. Elaborate decora- tions suggestive of the myth ical characters surrounding this ancient holiday were employed throughout. very much to the delight of the children. Numerous stunts, games and fortune telling furnished entertainment for all. The program was con- cluded by the serving of a splendid lunch by the ladies in which pumpkin pie was the piece de resistence.

GREAT FUTURE FOR
 THE BOLTON FIELD
MOST IMPORTANT FIELD IN STATE
 FROM RETURNS VIEWPOINT.

The Iowa-Wyoming Oil Com pany's No. l we'll in the Bolton field has developed what is look ed upon as a freak producer. Three times during the past two weeks this well has flowed with terrific pressure and has satura- ted the ground with high grade oil for a great distance.
 The value of the well and it's tremendous production known to be the greatest shallow field in the state, is evidenced from the fact that the sand lies around the 1100-foot level in many places is of slightly lower depth, While gusher wells were not looked for, production of com mercial value was expected in this formation.
 This we'll is now cemented off and will be drilled in in the next ten days. It promises to be any place from $500 to 2500 barrel we'll. At present the we'll is filling 20 feet of ten inch casing every ten seconds.
 There are scores of smaller companies that are dotting the fringe of the structure.
 It is probable that the great est excitement and development will prevail there next year.

STATE BIOLOGIST DESCRIBES DAILY
 EXPANSION OF FIELDS.

By a bulletin issued by State Biologist c. B. Morgan who says; Tt is impossible to esti- mate the oil resources of Wyom- ing. There are seventeen oil fields in the state where oil is produced for the market. There are seventeen other fields where oil has been struck but not mar keted as yet. There are also scores of prospective fields or wildcat structures, some of which will probably be found to contain large pools of oil. It is roughly estimated that the Wyo- ming fields contain oil reserves amounting to about 400, 1000, GOO barrels. The discovery of new fields will naturally increase this figure. The total production up to 1920 from Wyoming fields ap- proximates 50. .000. 900 barrels.

TO INSPECT CATTLE
 AT STATE BOUNDARY

The Arizona sanitary live stock board at it's next meeting will consider a pro- posal by the New Mexico cattle sanitary board inspec- tors along the state bound ary to prevent the crossing of livestock without inspec- tion.
 The New Mexico board is making the proposal, which suggested that four inspec- tors be used and the ex- pense be shared equally by the states. It was pointed out that a similar arrange ment is in existence between New Mexico and Colorado.
 According to the New Mexico board, numerous complaints have been filed regarding cattle alleged to have been driven across the state line without inspec- tion. Reported peddling of beef in Springerville and St. Johns, Ariz., and in Reserve, Quemado and Luna Valley, N. M., was also mentioned.
