prepared by the United States Depart

From the time of termination to
maturity corn should be given every
opportunity to make steady, sound
growth. If the development Of the
plants is checked from any cause 1t
may reduce the yield no matter how
favorable the later treatment. The
most successful corn growers realize
the importance Of thorough, early cul-
tivation In order to prevent any check
in the growth Of the plants because of
weeds or crusted soil. AS a conse-
quence Of heavy rainfall, the stalks
may increase rapidly in height and at
the same time, for lack of cultivation
or of soil fertility, or for other rea-
son, they may be slender, too tender,
or Of poor color. Thrifty corn plants
are thick, strong, and Of dark-green
color.
Use Weeder Soon After Planting.
Horse weeders and harrows should
be used when needed to break sur
face crust, check insect depredations,
or kill young weeds that start before
the corn is up. While the plant is
very small. narrow shovels that throw
the soil but very little should be used,
and tenders are usually desirable to
prevent covering the plants.
Experience fayors shallow cultiva-
ton, except If excessive rains have
ma cknd tha soil when deem cultivation
will help to dry and aerate the ground.
In cultivating 1t is important to avoid
breaking the roots Of the plants. II
the plants have reached height Of
or 8 feet the soil in the middle Of
the rows should not be cultivated
deeper than 4 inches, and sometimes
less. For retaining soil moisture a
loose soil mulch 2 or 8 inches in
depth should be maintained.
The question is frequently asked
how often corn should be cultivated.

South spinach can be planted in Oc-
tober and remain In the open ground
all winter.
For growing spinach in the home
garden a bed about feet in width and
% or 30 feet in length should be spad
ed and a quantity Of well-rotted ma
nure worked into the top 8 inches Of
soil. Three pounds Of commercial fer
tilizer should also be scattered over
the surface and well worked into the
soil. Six or eight ounces Of seed will
be sufficient for this space. Sow in
little drills or burrows running length
wise Of the bed, the rows to be about
6 or inches apart. The seed should
be covered v inch deep and the soil
slightly firmed over it. Watering
may be necessary If the weather
should be extremely dry following the
planting of the spinach seed.
Spinach grows quickly and requires
very little cultivation, except to loosen
the soil trifie between the rows and
keep weeds from getting a start. II
the, plants are too thick-that is,
Grove each othe--they can be thinned
out and those removed in thinning
cooked for greens. The plants left will
then have room to grow larger. Spin
ach is very desirable as an early spring
green, as 1t contains plenty of iron and
other mineral matter. 1t should al
ways be used while young and tender.

QUALITIES OF FARM FENCES
To Give Satisfaction Barrier Must Be
Made to Turn All Stock Without
lnjuring Them.

Farm fences should combine two
qualities service and economy-says
the United States Department Of
Agriculture. To give satisfactory
service the fence must be constructed
SO as to turn all kinds Of stock with
out injuring them. To be economical
1t must be built as cheaply as is con-
sistent with durability. The fence that
Is erected at low initial cost Is not
necessarily economical, for 1t may be
so short that 1t will be very expen-
sive in the end.
The cost of maintaining a farm
fence Is determined by such factors
as interest, repairs, and depreciation
on the fence Itself, interest on the
value Of land rendered unusable, and
the expense Of keeping down weeds.
The cost of repairs and the annual
depreciation depend largely on the
construction. If a fence Is made Of
a cheap grade Of material and is
cheaply constructed it will need fire.
quent repair and will be short lived.
Such a fence will have high repair
and depreciation charge. which In
most cases will more than counter
balance the increased investment cost
that the erection of more substantial
fence would require. If fence Is
made of good materials and is properly
built, it's repair and depreciation
charges should be very low.
The efficiency Of a fence depends
upon the quality of wire and posts
used and upon the manner of con-
struction.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1921-05-20

The answer is that 1t should be cul-
tfvated often enough to keep down
weeds and to maintain constantly a
loose soil mulch until the corn has
attained it's growth. A greater num-
Der of civilizations will be necessary
when rains at intervals Of about q
week cause the surface soil to run to-
gether and crust. This crust must be
broken and the soil mulch restored,
or evaporation will soon rob the soil
of much of its moisture. An essential
object of cultivation is to restore the
soil mulch as soon after rain as the
condition of the ground will permit.
If the ground becomes hard and
baked dry the crop will suffer great
ly and when cultivated the dirt will
break up into clods.
Many crops are cut short by stop
ping the cultivation because the corn
Is too tall for use of two-horse cul-
tlvator. If the condition Of the soil
demands it, shallow cultivation should
continue, even though the corn is tas-
selling. Blocks nailed to the handles
will protect the hands from the corn
blades Iron mowing-machine wheels
dragged between the rows will some
Zines greatly benefit the crop.
Saving OF Labor.
With a good riding or walking dou-
bile cultivator one man can cultivate
as many acres as two men with one
horse cultivators. This saving of la
Dor is worth consideration. With a
properly constructed wheeled cultiva-
tor, covering two rows at a time, one
man has often cultivated Is acres per
day.
The shovels with which it is best to
equip either single or double cultiva-
tors must be determined by the kind
of soil, the size of the corn, and size
and nature Of growth of weeds to be
destroyed. For sandy land sweeps
are in great favor. and vary from 6
to 80 inches in width. The sweep
scrapes along through the soil at a
depth Of 2 to 8 inches, cutting of
weeds and allowing surface soil to
pass over them, falling level and fat
behind the cultivator.
