MOISTURE IMPORTANT
IN CORN CULTIVATION
Primary Object is to Prevent:
Loss of Soil Moisture?
Keep Free of Weeds.

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. As long as rapid eva}X>ratior,

cold and the growth of the
corn will bo slow. 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. In some seasons this
may be effectually accomplished wit!
one or two cultivations; in other seasons
from four to six cultivations
may be necessary.

bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed t<> start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
