S 2 ; Agricultural ^ Department? June Work on the Southern Farm, w Prof. \V. P. Massey in tiie I'rogress- w ive Farmer. CI Juue is a busy month on a cqt- ra ton larm, for if you "get in the gra86,? now and the rains of July Q, overtake you, the crop id about I hopeless. But after the "long ' raiuy spell" that we are apt to have late iu May, and, in fact, are now haviug where I live?it P1 is called here 44the blackberry 113 storm," as the blackberries are ei in bloom?it takes rapid work -v< to check the grass. 13 And right here comes the val- 01 ue of the level planting and the use of the weeder and smoothing harrow in the early stages of the crop. With these one can get over the ground so rapid- " lv, and destroy the weeds and al grass when .just starting, that P' we can go into the May rain 3C with land clean, and it will ,r be easy to keep it during the j P" usual dry weather in June. Then, during June, if the ^ weather turns off dry and hot, tc as it js apt to do, don't put plows j " and sweeps into the cotton and ^ mound the soil up to dry out,;*? but keep the two-horse riding -v< cultivator goiuit two or three inch a( es deep between the rows so'* as to constantly preserve a loose dust blanket on the surface that! will prevent the evaporation P' that will take place Irom a hardcrusted surface. , When well started in May, ^ cotton needs very little rain du 111 ring June if the crust is cou-jln Hiantly kept broken shallowlv. ^ Hut throwiug up earth to the j cotton increases the amount of ar surface exposed to evaporation, I a and you lose moisture !hat!t0 should have beeu kept below.'Cr The man who runs a turning ai plow four time to each row, is cc not only turning up moist earth to dry out, but is using manj 18 times the amount of human la- HI bor he should, and is thus add-,s'' iug greatly to l he cost of the crop. | I an THK RIOHT WAV TO CULTIVATE QX CORN. C0 What I have said about the rt early work in the cotton field applies also to the corn field. The harrow should run over it rj before the corn is up, and after w that the weeder will get over ja the corn very rapidly and ac should be run both ways as in the cotton field. Hoe work in the cotton and corn fields is the ^ most expensive sort of labor, ^ and we should u-e every effort, j to have as little as practicable, j j Some must be done in the cot-| ton field, but it has been many a long year since I sent a hoe re into a corn field. With the j a(. early harrowing and weeding by j horse power before the weeds; and grass get a strong hold, we can do awav with all need fr r a ' ,< ... ai hoe iq the corn held. ; A year or so ago a man in Baltimore County, Maryland, ^ cultivated a corn tield entirely or with the weeder. With row* running straight across the tield.j Le took out two teeth thai hit two rows alter the corn got too tall to run all tlie teeth, and .() thus straddled the rows. The (j( shallow scratching of the weed- jQ er destroyed all the weeds in>9V reach of the surlace near enough w to germinate, and by the time the cultivation was finished all w these had been destroyed and,; no fresh ones brought up to the snrface, and the corn field at maturity was perfectly clean. We could not do this around iia ?ur Southern hills, but it showed n. v well that shallow and level ^ ^tion will keep the^'andl^r * WAAd<4 A f THE LANCA8 lowing will be avoided.
