The answer is that it should be cul-
tivated often enough to keep down
weeds and to maintain constantly
loose soil mulch until the corn has
attained it's growth. A greater num-
her of civilizations will be necessary
when rains at intervals of about
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-
tivator. 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
times greatly benefit the crop.
Saving Of Labor.
With 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
hor is worth consideration. With
properly constructed wheeled cultiva-
tor, covering two rows ut time, one
man has often cultivated Is acres per
day.
The shovels with which 1t 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 30 inches In width. The sweep
scrnpes along through the soil at
depth OF 2 to 8 inches. cutting off
weeds and allowing surface soil to
pass over them. falling level and dat

From the time of termination to
maturity corn should be given every
opportunity to make steady, sound
plants Is checked from any cause it
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 conse-
4uence 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. ThDifty corn plants
are thick, strong, and of dark-green
color.
Use Weeder Soon After. Planting.
Horse weedefs 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 favors shallow cultiva-
tion, except if excessive rains have
packed the soil, when deep cultivation
will help to dry and aerate the ground.
In cultivating it is important to avoid
breaking the roots of the plants. If
the plants have reached height of
2 or 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 3 inches in
depth should be maintained.
The question is frequently asked
how often corn should be cultivated.

PLAN TO SMOTHER BINDWEED
Alfalfa Is One Of Best Means Of Con.
trolling Wild Morning GIory-other
Crops Useful.

Alfalfa, because of its excellent
smothering effect and frequent cutting
IL receives, is one Of the best all-arOuno
means Of controlling bindweed (wild
morning glory) in sections where
alfalfa grows well, United States
Department Of Agriculture experts
find. Cowpeas. sorghum, .millet, soy
beans and buckwheat are also useful
as smothering crops, but are rarely
as successful as alfalfa. 1t is we'll
to follow alfalfa with clean cultivated
crop, such as corn.
Hogs are fond of both the under
ground and above ground growth of
bindweed. If the land is plowed it
will greatly assist the hogs in re-
moving the underground parts. Sheep
pasturing has been found helpful, but
it is not as useful a method as hog
pasturing. Grazing helps to hold bind
weed in check, but can not be de-
pended upon to secure eradication.
The use of chemicals other than salt
has not been successful except under
special conditionY and is not rec
commended. Care should he exercised
to prevent the introduction Of the pest

impure wheat seed; (2) manure

South spinach can be planted in Oc-
tober and remain in the open ground
all winter.
For growing spinach in the home
garden bed about S feet in width and
rs or 80 feet in length should be spad-
ed and quantity of well-rotted ma
nure worked into the top 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 " 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 start. If
the plants are too thick-that is,
crowd each othc.-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 desiracle as an early spring
green, as it contains plenty of iron and
other mineral matter. 1t should al
ways be used while young and tender.

USES OF BORDEAUX MIXTURE
Best Fungicide to Apply on Vegeta-
bIes, Grapes, Ornamental Plants
and Potatoes.

Bordeaux mixture is our best fungi
eide for use on vegetables, potatoes,
grapes, and ornamental plants. For
apples and stone fruits, lime-sulphur
replaces bordeaux. On potatoes bor-
deaux mixture not only protects the
potato plant against fungous diseases,
but also prevents the burning of the
leaves which comes in hot, dry sea-
sons. Sprayed plants outyield the un-
sprayed plants. For use on potatoes
to control the potato beetle, one-half
pound Of paris green, or two pounds Of
arsenate of lead may be added to the
bordeaux mixture.

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 lnjuring them. To be economical
it must be built as cheaply as is con-
sistent with durability. The fence that
is erected at q low initial cost is not
necessarily economical, for it may be
so short that it 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 cf 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 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 a more substantial
fence would require. If a. fence is
made of good materials and is properly
built, its repair and depreciation
charges should be very low.
The efficiency Of fence depends
upon the quality Of wire and posts
used and upon the manner Of con,

ture. Plant the seeds in rows IS
inches to 2 feet apart and 10. to -
seeds to the foot to insure full stand.
The seeds should be covered about 1
inch deep, and the surface slightly
packed with the back of the hoe after
the seeds are covered.
When the young plants are nicely
started they should be thinned to stand
about or inches apart in the row.
The plants thinned out are commonly
used as green's. Cultivate the same as
beets, and in cutting for greens re-
move the leaf stems, leaving the roots
and hearts of the plants to produce
more leaf stems. The thick leaf stems
are cooked the same as other green's.
