USE SMOOTHING HARROW
 WHEN LAND TT DRY

smoothing harrow is the best imple- ment for cultivating corn until the crop is six inches high. When this Implement is used, however, it is Snport;.nt that both the land and the corn be dry. If the cultivating is done in the afternoon. after the sun has dried out the soil, the best results will be secured.
 Be sure that the teeth of the. smoothing harrow are kept free from soil cIods and stone, otherwise the corn will be injured. smoothing harrow kept clean will not damage the crop. The harrow is one of the best methods of catching early weeds and cultivating close to the corn.

FARMERS FAVOR
CROPS OF MILLET

CROPS OF MILLLGT
 Millet is increasing in popularity in some sections as a forage crop. It may either be cut as hay or used as fodder for livestock or for ensilage
 From now until about the first of July is the time to sow milIet. There are three varieties of this grain, Japanese. Hungarian and Siberian. Careful ana lyzation of soil conditions is necessary if best results are to be obtained from mil- let. Soil which is naturally dry and not very rich should be sown with Hungarian millet, about two pecks to the acre for fodder and twice as thicAly for hay.
 Land very rich and in fine condition should be sown with Japanese niIlet, in about the same quantities as other varie- ties for fodder and hay. The Siberian variety is a half way" variety-suited for lands which are neither very rich nop very poor
 It is always best to use manure gener- ously as featilizer before sowing millet. Or if this material is not available, ASA fertilizer will help the crop.
 Farmers are often undecided whether n1illet makes good crop to SOW with grass and clover. Under certain cendi- tions this can be done successfully, but only the Hungarian variety is suited to this purpose As a general rule, however, millet does not make satisfactory croD to SOW with clover and grass seed.
