Mr. Perkins retorted, uIndividualism is as dead as a smelt." Mr. Perkins* reasons for his belief are outlined in the following article:? By GEORGE W.

ILD, CONWAY, 3 O MOISTURE IMPORTANT IN CORN CULTIVATION Primary Object is to Prevent: Loss of Soil Moisture? Keep Free of Weeds. Corn shoulil Ho #?nif i\?of <\.-i ?...!? ^ -- ? v vti Vi V IWV'.I VIM^ when one or mone objects will be accomplished by the cultivation unu when the total effects will be more beneficial than injurious, according to United States Department of Agvi culture Farmers' Bulletin 773. Some beneficial effects are tl) preventing weeds from robbing the corn of soil moisture and fertility; (2) putting the surface in condition to tuk?? in rainfall, thus preventing run-oft' and erosion?losses of water and soil fertility; (3) warming the soil by drying its surface quickly and (4) savingmoisture by checking its capillar* rise to the soil surface. Some injurious effects are (li breaking corn roots, which otherwise would use some of the moisture ol light showers before it evaporates; and (2) forming large clods and holes, thus permitting dry air to enter and j dry the soil. In droughty regions corn cultivation is more essential and requires more good judgment than in mo. other sections. The primary obji ct of cultivate t j s to pigment loss of moisture. Mo is. | ture. losses are caused by run-oft ; evaporation, and, most of all, wecc growth. A most important object el corn cultivation is the keeping out o Weeds. It takes but little Stirling ol the soil to kill weeds immediately after they germinate and before the; have used much soil moisture, but i destroy the weeds that are well rooted the soil must be worked deep';' and thoroughly. This requires muc! O.l - i uiuur unu can not be accomplished without breaking and destioyinf many corn roots, In many sections., on in aeosonA when the seed gei'rnk nates slowly, It la advisable to ha*ro\\ once or twice or to cultivate iit'te planitng before the COl'll fcotUfee up. Deep cultivation should iteVftr b? clone close to the plants after the., are a foot tall, as much harm would be done l?* breaking' the corn roots. Aside from destroying weeds, timely cultivation is beneficial in prevent ing the loss of moisture by evaponi tion and also in hastening the warm ing of the soil. The loss of soil moi ture by evaporation continues mud longer from a compact, damp surfai than from a loose, dry surface, an the evaporation tends to keep ti.i soil cold. In northern localities and at hig" altitudes the conservation of heat i frequently as important as the con serration of moisture. Luckily, hot1 heat anil moisture may be conserve* by good timely cultivation. Heat i wasted in evaporating or wasting i soil moisture. Making the surface i loose and dry saves both soil hou land soil moisture. Cultivating after heavy rains is : good practice. To be most effectiv the cultivating should be done a> soon as the surface is dry enough t work well. If the soil is allowed t dry until it breaks up cloddy, niuc1 moisture will bo lost, a good mule can not be obtained, and harm is more likely to be done to the corn roots.

In order to cover large areas quickly, cultivators which I work two or more rows are a great advantage. | The number of cultivations neces1 sary and the est time for them depend upon weather and soil condi-1 itions. Weeds should not be allowed I ! to grow; a mellow surface should b? j maintained.

It is guaranteed t<> start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work.
