EARLY PLOWING
KEEPS IT GROWING!
Shall o\v Working of the Corn'
Crop is Generally Preferred
Though.
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. If the ground!
becomes hard and baked dry the
crop will u;fer greatly and when

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. The latest fornix of rifling
cultivators are easily and readily
manipulated and do good work.

JAPAN DOESN'T

American Just Back Tells State'

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.

"1 do not bebeve that Shautang
will ever ho willingly given up by
I the Japanese," he said, "in spite of
[their promises. They arc planning
to stay forever, and their liking to

Ihe Chinese, these would make excellent
soldiers. 1 do not believe the
Japanese can, however. The Chinese
hlood is to<> strong. In a generation
the Japanese invaders would be
swallowed up by their involuntary
hosts."
It is impossible to give the name
of this gentleman. 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.

" 'This is a dickens of a note,' I
thought to myself. 'Ho isn't interested
in what 1 have to tell him. I'm

'me. He did not refer to that report
