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.
