From the time of germination to maturity corn should .bo given every opportunity to make a steady, sound growth. If the development of the 1 plants is checked from any cause it may reduce the yield 110 matter how favorable the later treatment. The most successful corn growers realize the importance of thorough, early cultivation in order to prevent any check \in the growth of the plants because of weeds or crusted soil. As a consequence of heavy rainfall, the stalks may increase rapidly in height and at the same time, for lack of cultivation or of soil fertility, or for other reason, they may he slender, too tender, ;'ir of poor color. ' Thirfty corn plants are thick, strong, and of dark-green color. Use Wecder Soon After Planting. Horse weedors and harrows should he used when needed to break a surface crust, check insect depredations, or kill young weeds that start before the corn is up. While the plant is very small, narrow shovels that throw the soil but very little should be used, and fenders are usually desirable to prevent covering the plants. Experience favors shallow cultivation, e\ccpt if excessive rains have , packed the soil, when deep cultivation will help to dry and aerate the ground. In cultivating it is important to avoid breaking the roots of the plants. If the plants have reach- ; ed a height of 2 to Ji feet the soil in the middle of the rows should ' not be cultivated deeper than four inches and sometimes less. For retaining soil moisture a loose soils' mulch 2 or '? inches in depth should: bo maintained. The question is frequently asked how often corn should be cultivated.' The answer is that it should be cul-J tivated often enough to keep down; weeds and to maintain constantly a loose soil mulch until the corn has attained its growth. A greater num-| ber of cultivation-; will l>o accessary i when rains at intervals of about a work can. o the surface soil to run together and crust. This crust must be broken and the . (.il mulch restored, or evaporation will soon rob the soil of much of its moisture. An essential object of cultivation is to restore the -oil v>ulch as soon after a rain as the condition of the ground will permit.

Hetween! the liijjh and the low waistline it; chooses the latter and makes a compromise between long and short 1 sleeves with the three-quarter length, flaring style.

Often 11 glimpses a bright color. cultivated tho dirt will break up into clods. M any crops arc cut short by stop-1 ping the cultivation because the corn is too tall for use of a twohorse cultivator. If the condition of the soil demands it, shallow cultivation should continue, even though the corn is tasseling. Blocks nailed to the handles will protect the hands from the corn blades. Iron mowing machine wheels dragged between the rows will sometimes greatly bene fit the crop. With a good riding or walking! double cultivator one nan can cultivate as many acres as two men with one-horse clutivators. This saving of labor is worth considerations. With a properly constructed wheeled cultivator, covering two rows at a time, one man has often cultivated 15 acres per day. The shovels with which it is best to eouip either single or double cul tivators must l>c determined by the kind of soil, the size of the corn, and size and nature of growth of weeds to be destroyed. For sandy land sweeps are in great favor, and vary from (5 to 30 inches in width. The sweep scrapes along through the soil at a depth of 2 to .'? inches, cutling otV weeds and allowing surface soil to pass -over them, falling level and flat behind the cultivator. All forms of shovels should he so adjusted that the\ loosen the soil and make a fine and even covering for the lvrder soil beneath. Almost all stv'e* of double cultivators are made either with handles as a walkcultivator or with a seat as a riding] cultivator.

CI JAPAN DOESN'T WANT WAR American Just Back Tells State' Department?General Hostility. Washington.?"Japan does not want war," is the statement of a very prominent American who has just' talked with the state departj ment. "It is true that the ?iiilitaiy party U for the moment in the ascendancy over there. It is also true that the military party in any country may thrust that country into war by its appeals to pride ami racial feeling. Hut the majority of the Japanese do not want war, any more than the majority of any people want war. Further, the military party is retaining: its hold of power by such a very slender majority that it may he turned out at any moment " There cheering statements are sup plemented and modified, how ever, by his statements as to the hostility that all classes of Japanese seem to feel for the United States. The most extraordinary attacks upon the United States, her people and her statesmen have recently been made in public gatherings in Japan by Japanese who are regarded as among' the prominent members of the race.

It may be said, however, that a few years ago his name was known to every American as the engineer as one of the greatest projects ever put through to success and as the personal friend of President Roosevelt. He will return to the Orient soon, and his public utterances must, therefore, be marked by extreme caution. His comment on the personality of Secretary of State Hughes is almost more interesting. Is Admirer of Hughes. "People told me," he said, "that Hughes is a man without a sense of humor. That's rot. I never met a| more genial, likeable, human man. He has the speed and nerve and control, too, that any good American desires to see in the holder of this responsible post." He went on to tell an incident that as a business man of wide experience and accustomed to great affairs impressed him immensely. "1 handed to Mr. Hughes a ten page typewritten report" ho said, "that I had prepared on the situation in the Far East. He took it, sat flown and began to chat with me on a dozen topics only remotely connected with my visit. All this time he was turning over the pages of my report. He would cast his eyes down a page and then turn it. He did not pay the tribute of careful attention to a word, it seemed to me. Quickly (Jot the Point.
