What the Editor of the Cultivator
Thinks of the Williamson
Corn Plan.
From Southern Cultivator.
We have been asked our opinion
as to this "stunting theory"
of Mr. Williamson's. YY'e endorse
every word of this plan except
this "stunting idea" anil using a
"turning plow" in cultivating
his corn. YVe would prevent the
overproduction of stalk, by
having the corn thick. VVe
would have ours in four foot

X^ould cultivate Willi scrapes or
Pto.net .Jr. cultivators. We have
always advocated putting manure
around growing crops. Our
father made 70 bushels corn on
poor land, during a dry season
by putting 150 pounds in drill at
planting?200 pounds on side at
second p'owing and 150 in the
middle when laying by. We
believe in plantingc >rn early or
lato. We have made as fine
corn as we have ever seen with
similar manuring by planting
after grain on first of dune This
!*r p will not hit as often as the
tr.kidy planting hut will he made
much cheaper. Have made 75
bushels per acre on rich land,
with t'Vo plowing. On the
whole Mr. Williamson's plat> is
excellent, but if is airainst nature
lo "stunt anything" for
best results. To keep coin or
any crop in growing condition is
best. Mr. Williamson succeeded
in making fine yield in spite of
his stunting, by deep and thorough
preparation of his land, and

with a fertili
high percentage of

How To Soak Corn To Pre- cl
vent Bud Worms. 21
rt
Southern Cultivatoa. al
Will you kindly furnish me cr
with the formula for soaking ti
corn in chloride of lime, in order I
to prevent ravages by bud 111
worms? l'ln.ise l?t m? lioar frr?m IS
you at onee and oblige.

Comment by the Editor:
Having received severat such sf
inquiries, we will publish this
receipt again. Dissolve one
pound of chloride of limo and
one and one lourih pounds of p
copperas in enough water to t0
cover one bushel ot seed corn. H}1
Soak several hours, l'our off ra
water, and sprinkle with corn- ju
meal or dust, so as to make the
corn drop hotter.
Need or Improved Machinery
u
w
Good machinery and laborsaving
tools are becoming more u<
of a necessity every year. Labor h>
lis the largest bill ot expense on sc
the farm, and any tool that will "~
lasfien labor in a money-waver. Li
The "hired man" who can do ali
most any thinp, and works faith }
i folly for his employer's interest,
iis not so common as he used to
he. There is still pood farm help f'j
to be had, but the supply is not
i equal to the demand. Our bright XI
lyounp men have been lured Ar
away to the city bv the prospect Lv
of better wapes and less arduous O
labor. When we think of the way ft
work was done on the farm fifty ft
years apo we can hardly blame ?
them; but now, aside from the <;?
lack of society, the younp man tjJ
can do as well on a farm, as atj
| manual labor in the city. In fact, _
he will have more nwmev it t li ^ I
lend of the year, for while Ins
! wages may not bo as large, his
i expenses will be proportionately
| less.? Farmer's Voice.
