When ready to plant, harrow nicely and plant with a corn planter. This is in every way better than bedding and planting either on the bed or in the water furrow. Make the experiment yourself, and you will not need any argument to settle Lhe question. Corn roots need a deep soil, and this prepa ration can not be too well done. By good worfy and heavy manur ing jjr is just as easy to grow forty bushels per acre as ten. The heavier the yield, the cheap er the corn. If only chemical fertilizers are to be • used, put them on broadcast, and do not be afraid to put them on. Only be careful to proportion the stalks left per acre to the manure used. Small yields of corn do not pay. Grow big crops. How shall we prepare for cot ton? Much the. same as for corn. Remember that cotton has deep roots as well as., shallow, and that in fruiting season ton requires great quantities of water. So you must break deep •and thorough. Bedding the rows for cotton is a mistake. Only one good can it do—make it easier to plow the first time— but subsequent plowing is more difficult, and often does vast in jury by admitting direct sunlight to the roots and drying the ground when moisture is needed. Harrow nicely, and plant on a level. We must insist on one thing; Never plow, harrow or plant when your ground is wet There are many other crora, but it is beyond the scope of this book to enter minutely into the details of aU of them.
