Successful corn culture depends as much upon the "know how" as does success in any other business. Of course, a deep, humus-filled soil is the first consideration, but much depends! upon the cultivation given the] corn after it is up The farmer, who understands and practices j the best principles of corn. growing, who knows the root-| system, the movements of soil j moisture and the uses of soil' mulches, will make a good corn ! crop in spite of adverse seasons of rainfall and drought. The! one who does not understand | these things attributes his: failures to the wet weather, the dry weather, the hot weather, I the cold weather, or something else the effects of which he should be able to obviate. In the Farm Demonstration Work last season some big crops of corn were made where no rain fell from the time the corn wasj planted till it was mature. Yet the yield of corn in this country ; are more dependent upon rain- \ fall during the growing season j than upon any one thing else. This i should not be. But let us see that we J understand what proper cultiva- J tion does. Every good farmer; knows that cultivation is to save the moisture, to destroy germin- i ating weed seeds, to liberate plant food and to warm and aerate the soil. If the first two are accomplished the others are too. The successful farmer' never allows his soil to become crusted over because he knows that it is then losing moisture. To prevent this crusting also destroy weed and grass seed that may be coming up in the soil. So we see that all that is necessary is to cultivate often enough to keep the soil loose on ! top. One of the Experiment Stations has found that during very dry hot weather a single corn stalk will take from the soil and eqaporate as much as ten pints of water in one day. It; requires about 300 pounds of water to produce one pound of dry matter. So we learn that corn is a crop that requires immense amounts of moisture.

H. DeBUTTS, Division Passenger Agent, Charlotte, N. C- THE DANBURY REPORTER have sufficient rainfall every year to produce two or three corn crops on all our land. The wise farmer is he who has learn ed how to catch the rainfall and keep it in the soil until it is needed. As to depth of cultivation, we i must remember that corn belongs ' to the grass family and therefore ' has a fine, fibrous, extensive root ' system. By the time corn is a I foot high the roots may be i lapping between the rows. The ! roots grow outward through the soil from two to four times as fast as the stalks grow upward. !To destroy these roots in | cultivating is to cut off the | feeding powers of the corn. It ; very often happens that the soil i needs a rather deep stirring ! while the corn is small and be- I fore the roots get out far. If this is the case, it should be given, but care must be taken not to cultivate deeply later. The Indiana Experiment Station has : shown that corn cultivated about two inches deep yielded '42.36 bushels: that cultivated ! four inches deep yielded only 137.92 bushels. Another station ; found that shallow cultivation j yielded 81.8 bushels per acre, 'but deep cultivation gave 74.1 ! bushels. i As to the number of times to 1 cultivate corn, this will depend i upon conditions. The thing to keep in mind is to keep a mulch on the surface until the corn has fully tasseled. In many cases it will pay to cultivate until some jof the "silks" begin to turn 1 brown. If is a critical time with corn when it is maturing the grain. It should not be neglect ed then. C. R. HUDSON. Raleigh, N. C.
