The corn is always planted on clover or grass sod, and after it some small grain follows for one or perhaps two years when the field is again seeded, and after two or more years the corn comes in the rota tion again. So If com smut appears In one crop it has no chance to propagate except what is blown Into adjoining fields, or is carried to the luirn and so disseminated through the manure pile. In the West the growing of com after com on the same land was continued so long that the fields were filled with stntit and the land had to be seeded down so as to allow the smut spores to die out. Growing corn aiter corn also developed the burrowing worm, which Is hatched in the tips of ears while ten der, and eat» Its way Into the corn while In Its succulent stage. This worm has sometimes appeared in Eastern States where a great deal of corn Is grown. It is probably true that no crop can be ex clusively grown in any section without sometime finding an Insect enemy or some fungous disease to destroy It. So though two crops of corn will not ex haust the soli more than would a crop of small grain after the com, and in most cases not so much, it is not beet to put them together. The com stubble is necessarily left naked during the fol lowing winter, and Is therefore subject ed to more freezing and thawing and more washing away on the soil than if the land were seeded quickly after it— American Cultivator.

The whortlel>erry and Its near relative, the huckleberry, are always grown wild, as they need just the dampness and shade 1 that they find in forests and low, wild land. But the wild blackberries and raspberries still constitute a considera ble portion of the fruit sold In city mar kets. In most cases this self-grown fruit Is regarde«! as the property of whoever wishes to gather It. The huckleberry patches are. however, often reserved by owners of the land, and those wishing the fruit must pay for It. or, as is usually done, dividing it after it is picked.
