Keep the cultivators running,
breaking .rusts, killing weeds and
saving moisture. A corn tleld in
June is about the thirstiest tiling we
know of. and it is simply astonishing
the amount ot water the growing
crop needs. During the average
growing season plenty of moisture
falls, but. because of lack of cultivation.
out crops often suft'et from a
shortage at a critical period in their
growth. A fine dust mulch two incites
thick will hold the watei^in tie
soil anil save the crops in time of
drouth.
Watch the cultivators and lon'i
throw any higher ridge to the con
and cotton than is absolutely necessary.
The t ndencv of all cultivation
is to raise the drill and leave tin
crops on a ridge, but careful wort,
will keep this ridge front getting toe
sharp. Hy all means avoid laying b>
any crop on a high bed. As I'nol.
John says the high-bed disease h
one of the very worst pests we have
Making high beds usually means thai
roots are cut. and then leaving th<
land In ridges exposes a great deal
more surface to heat adn evnpora
tlon, and wilting and "firing result
as a matter of course.
To cultivate deep enough to keej:
a good dust mulch and at the sann
time allow enough not to sertouslj

py medium?is not always easy. Th?
truth is that any cultivation deej
enough to establish a dust mulch at
all effective in saving moisture I;
deep enougn to cut a good many
roots. Likewise. destroying grass
and weeds simply cannot he done effectively
without destroying plant
roots as well. Generally we coulrl
flav that any cultivation less than one
mulch too shallow to be most effec
tive in holding moisture, and any
thing deeper than two and one-hal]
or three inches will do more harn
than good because of excessive rooi
Injury. Our preference, on an av
erage, would be for cultivation some
where arou.id two inches deep. /
mulch of this depth will usually holt
the moisture pretty effectively, ant
while ?ome roots will be broken it
making Itr this is an unavoidahi
j evil.
