Farm Pointers For June.
June is the farmers businest
month and will require his best
efforts and skill to get fullest
returns from his crop. Keep the
surface fine by rapid, shallow
and frequent cultivation, this
can best be done by using broad
cutting tools such as; gee whiz
and cultivator. Don’t allow a
crust to form after rains, by
keeping the surface pulverized
the young grass and weeds
will be destroyed before they
take root. All crops should be
gone through with the Cultiva
tor every 8 to 10 days if the |
weather will permit. Bring all
crops to a stand promptly,!
plants not needed will if allow
ed to stay rob the ones intend
ed to stay of plant food and
moisture. The chief object of
cultivation is to make plant
food available, hence the culti
vator should be kept going
whether there is any weeds and
grass or not. The killing of
weeds and grass is a secondary!
consideration. Constant culti
vation means constant growing
Be sure you don’t neglect the
garden and truck patches.
Wheat harvest will claim your
attention this month, let it get
fully ripe, cul when dry, . k
well and handle with care for
the crop is short and most of
the grain will be needed for
seed. All the stubble land
should be sown in some legume
crop for hay. I think cow peas
are best suited for this section.'
For the peas that bunch sow one,
and a half to two bushels per
acre, for those with a running
vine onb bushel of peas with
one gallon of sorghum seed or
one peek of prolific corn to an
acre. If land is tight plough in
with shallow running turning
plough if loose double cut with
disc harrow and drag land
smooth to facilitate mowing.
Don’t sow when the land is wet
