has been thoroughly prepared so that
the weeds do not get started before
the corn terminates, and if witch
grass has been controlled, the hoeing
should not be very lengthy or diff
cult operation If, on the other hand,
witch-grass has come up quickly after
planting, and gains considerable
Roadway, the job Of hoeing Is much
more disagreeable and probably, as is
the case ON certain farms, two hoe
ings are necessary in order to keep
the weeds in check until the corn can
take better care of itself.
The best method of hoeing is
thorough preparation and the amount
of land that the grower can handle
in sweet corn will depend primarily
upon how much hand hoeing he has
to do. 1t is one of the governing fac
tors in the amount of acreage man
can prof1tably take care of.
CULTIVATION
The principal reasons for cultiva-
ton are the control of weeds and the
conservation of moisture. BY early
and continued cultivation countless
numbers of small weeds will be de-
'stroyed.
With a crop that takes out as much
moisture as corn it is very essential
in most years to conserve as much az
possible of the ground water, and in
order to do so 1t is necessary to
break up the systematic evaporation
that will take place unless a dust
mulch is secured. BY breaking up
this escape of the ground water a
steady and uniform supply Is secured
which should assist materially in
carrying the crop through critical
drought periods.
Cultivation should be begun early,
with a weeder or leveling harrow be-
fore the corn breaks ground, and con-
tinued regularly once each week or
10 days, and in dry seasons continued
into August or until such time as il
is impractical to drive through the
piece. Short whiffletrees and muzzles
on the horses will assist materially in
the late civilizations. While the plants
are small the cultivation can be fair
ly deep in order to get at the more
deeply rooted weeds, but as the plants
develop and the small feeding roots
come nearer to the surface, the cult
walton should be made more shallow
each time, and finally maintained at
as small depth as is possible.
With the two-row cultiyators, 1t is
much easier to handle this part of
corn culture than was the case sew
eral years ago. and there IS no reason
why corn should suffer in this respect.
HARVESTING
There are few crops which require
such careful attention in harvesting
as does sweet corn. Probably there
Is less danger OF picking too soon
than in delaying picking until the
corn has passed its best stage, and in
order to put out high grade fancy
1t Is necessary that this matter be
given careful attention. We have no
way OF knowing just what the weather
conditions are to be and during the
last two years there Have been hot
weeks in September when the corn
matured very rapidly, so that it has
been very essential to have facilities
ready to handle the crop in the least
possible time.
Some growers have found that q
picking sled with a capacity Of 10 OIL
more baskets or boxes and drawn by
horse has materially assisted il
speeding up this operation.

THE B. H. S. SPORTS
The Hare and Hound Chase and Hunting
Contest.


Contest.
The annual events in the B. H. S. social
life were anticipated this year with more
enthusiasm than usual and consequently
the program gave a great deal of real
pleasure. The girls met at the school
building ST. ortly after IL o'clock under
the direction of their respective captains
and chaperons.
The hares were captained by Katrina
Kelley with Mrs. Daniel McInnes and
Miss Esther F. Evans as chaperons.
They left on the chase at H. 80 going up
Miller to Congress, over Congress to
Little River. thence over the fields to tho
shore front with the City Park a. their
objective point. They marked their route
with pieces of paper on posts, trees, ETC.,
fov the Hounds to follow. The notes of
instruction contained several stunts
for their pursuers, s)me of which were
the 'real things that test"
The Hounds were captained by Gladys
Trundy and chaperoned by Mrs. S. A.
Parker and Mrs. VIM. L. Luce. They
left about thirty minutes later than the
Hares and to win should join them at the
| City Park Just that much later.
Handicapped by taking an unknown
path and also in following out their in-
structions the Hounds were informed
that they were several minutes late.
On arriving at the Park preparations
were made for the supper consisting of
frankfurts. rolls, cake, doughnuts and
coffee. The boys were to share the sup
per with them on their return from their
hunting contest, so the girls spent their
spare time with games.
The captains of the hunting teams were
chosen from the Senior class by the St-n
dents Council president and were Ran
dali Knox and Harold Greenlaw. Last
Thursdas the teams were chosen and list
of game posted, the list being: Rabbit, SO
points; partridge, 25; gray squirrel, 5;
raccoon, 25; porcupine, 5; skunk, Is;
woodcock, so; fox, so; duck, 25; goose,
so; heron, 25; crow, 5; hawk, 25; musk
rat, 10; mink. Is; devil-diver, 20; red
squirrel, s.; fisher, so; weasel, 25.
The boys chose their own fields for
hunting, the only stipulation being that
they should leave at Principal Fosters
desk, where they were going. At four
o'clock they were to return to the school
ho1se and there learn where they were to
join the Hares and Hounds for supper.
When all the game was reported it was
found that the Knox side had won by SIS
points; they having $50 points to Green
laws side Of 4o5 The boys also took
occasion to tease the girls with squirrels,
etc., and play games until the supper.
AS one boy remarked the supper with cup
and spoon reminded one of the meas time
at Camp Devens.
After supper all went to the Armory
where a musical program was enjoyed
and the evening hours devoted to danc-
ing. 1t was pleasant ending of a very
happy day for all.
