TIIE methods of corn cultivation to general use In one section of the country differ greatly from those in ttnother svtiou That certain kind of cultivators or flows or methods of planting have been In use In Georgia or Iowa for many years dies not prove that Imple ments or methods found successful In ther states might uot be used there to advantage. Fall plowing cannot be recommend d for all soils and loon titles, but should be more generally practiced than at present If a cover crop or aod Is turned under In the autumn decomposition will Increase the amount f plant food available for the crop next summer. This is true to some ex tent even though sod Is not turned un er. Inasmuch as the simple loosening f the M1 admits atmospheric oxygen and Increases chemical action upon Tegetable and mineral matter. Kail and winter plowing is one of the best methods of combating Inject pests. Because the surface of grouud plowed Id the fall is drier at planting time in the spring than that of ground not so treated, it does not necessarily follow that there Is less moisture In fall plow ed ground. The fall plowing has en abled the rainfall better to penetrate the subsoil, thus relieving the surface of its excess of moisture. In the spring fall plowed fields usually contain much more moisture, but at the same time have a drier surface than fields which lemaln nnplowed until spring. In sec tioBS where there Is much rain during to winter It is better not to harrow th tall plowed land in the autumn. am t .. H Haft IOWA COES. 3Bis is especially true of fine clay soils that run together and pack readily. Deep spring plowing and spring sub olllng are likely to result In diminish ed crops, especially If done after the spring rains. For a deep, rich soil deep plowing la Best provided It is done In the fall r does not render the soil too loose and dry. For thin clay soils subsoillng la better than very deep plowing. The flowing should not be at the same iepth from year to year. A little sub soil turned to the surface occasionally allows the elements to act upon it, lib erating plant food, and as It becomes mingled with surface soil and vege table growth the soil depth will be In creased. It la well to plow a little deeper each year for several succes sive seasons and then for one season five a plowing at about half the depth f the deepest plowing. The plow should be so adjusted that It will turn all the soil and leave the Burface smooth. In every Instance spring plow ed land should be pulverized the same fay It Is plowed. Corn planted early most often gives the best yield. Corn should, of course, not be planted In cold or wet ground, but by good drainage, full plowing, etc., every farmer should strive to have Us land in good condition to plant at Itie proper time. Underground drainage will prove most profitable In the end In handling low, wet land, but as this Is rather ex pensive It Is sometimes desirable to se low. flat land for corn before It ti possible to have It tile drained. Some times such fields are plowed in small trips or "lands" 4 to 6 feet wide, and row of corn Is planted on the ridge or Bc furrowof every "land." This places the plants above surface water and for this reason is satisfactory during wet weather, but the high situation of the talks Is a disadvantage during dry weather. In a method of planting giv ing general satisfaction for such fields the ground is back furrowed In lands eight feet wide, making thereby dead i fit- M. ? ! as 4A I a aU V . mmiws every eight foot. On eachsMa and two feet from nob. dead furrow shallow rows are marked off, aud In them the corn Is plained. The labor saved by the us of plant ers Is so great that for profitable corn growing their use Is Indispensable. Kvery spring the planter should be thoroughly tested and adjusted. The proivr depth to plant must be governed by the quality and moisture of the soil. If It Is a stiff, heavy clay, containing plenty of moisture at plant ing time, one Inch Is siinVluiitly deep, but If It Is a light, open, dry soil three or four Inches Is a satisfactory depth. Fortify agaltist dry weather by plant ing the seed In a furrow, covering It lightly, aud then gradually cultivat ing the furrow full of soli as the plants grow. This method of planting la es pecially well adapted to deep soils where dry weather is likely to prevail during the middle or latter part of the growing season. The lisler fulfills the requirements of this method. The lister Is used for planting fields tbat have been thoroughly plowed and i also for planting directly In last year's cornfield or stubble field without previ ous preparation This latter practice, however. Is not recommended for shal- i low or stiff clay soils. J Perhaps more corn Is now planted by ( means of a check rower than by any I other device. Soue successful growers i of corn have found it profitable to use ' two row markers set the same width j as their checkrower. A protH-r number of stalks evenly distributed constitute the best stand for the production of ear corn. If , planted thicker than this the weight of j stover increases and the production j of good ears decreases. If planted ' thinner the weight of stover, as well as i of ears, decreases. Small growing va- j rletles should lie planted thicker than varieties producing tall stalks. The distance for planting lu a particular j soil should be decided upon and the , planter adjusted to plant accurately i and regularly. Spots missed by the ; planter, as well as those depleted by crows. Insects, etc., greatly decrease the yield per acre. The custom of planting many times thicker than the stand of stalks desired is not a good one. If the seed germinates poorly It should not tie planted, for, although a ' stand may be obtained by very thick planting, the stalks will not be thrifty, 1 and a reduced yield will result from using the poor seed. If the seed shows i a germination of 07 per cent or more ' In a thorough germination test and It '" is then properly planted the stand will ' be almost erfect unless very adverse weather ensues. In which case all the plants will lie so injured that the planting of the entire field again will ! be preferable to replanting the missing ; hills and will be more easily accom- pllshed. If a field has been drilled In but j one direction and for any reason a poor stand is obtained It can be replanted with a checkrower set to drop one kernel at a time and operated without the tripping chain. The checkrower Is , driven at right angles to the rows of . the first planting and Is operated so as i to plant Just as it crosses each row. ! For this purpose two men will be re- quired, one to drive and one to trip the cneckrower as it crosses the corn rows. The most successful corn growers realize the importance of thorough ear ly cultivation, thus preventing any check in the growth of the plants be cause of weeds or crusted soil. Thrifty corn plants are thick, strong and of dark green color. Horse weeders and harrows should be used when needed to break a sur face crust check insect depredations or kill young weeds that start before the corn Is up or large enough to be worked with other Implements. Dur- I big he first cultivation, or while the 1 plants are very small, narrow shovels ; that throw the soil but very little ' should be used, and fenders are usual- i ly found desirable to prevent the cov ering of the plants. Many comparative experiments of deep and shallow cultivation have been made, and, on the whole, the results are in favor of shallow cultivation. If excessive rains have packed the soil and kept It water soaked deep cultiva tion will help to dry and aerate the soil. Breaking the roots of the plants must be avoided so far as possible. After the plants have reached a height of two or three feet the soli even in the middle of the rows should not be j W,1T ' P'ay It would be cruelty to ani cultivated deeper than four Inches, and 1 muls." Washington Star. usually a shallower cultivation will prove better. For retaining soil mois ture a loose soil mulch two or three Inches In thickness Is advisable. Corn should be cultivated often enough to keep down weeds and to maintain constantly a loose soil mulch till the com has attained Its growth To this end a greater number of cul tivations will be necessary when rains at Intervals of about a week cause the surface soil to run together and crust This crust must be broken and the soil mulch restored or evaporation will soon rob the soil of lu moisture. It Is a mistake to think that the longer the drought the more frequent should be the cultivations. After a fine mulch of about three Inches In depth has been produced Its frequent stirring Is not necessary, except In so far as It Is required to keep weeds from starting. Many crops are cut short by stopping the cultivation, be cause the corn is too tall for use of a Houble cultivator without breaking down the stalks. If the condition of the soil demands it shallow cultiva tion should continue, even though the corn Is tnsscllng. It Is sometimes profitable to remove weeds by the costly process of hand hoeing and even at as late a date as the silking time of the corn. With a good riding or walking double cultivator one man can cultivate as many acres as two men with a one horse cultivator. ay 1 All men look flensed when they smoke this choice tobacco for nil men like the rich quality and true, natural flavor of n i Smoked in pipes by thousands of men everywhere known to cigarette smokers a "the makings."
