Suggestions For Corn
Club Members.
(By Andrew M. Soule, President
Georgia State College of Agricul
ture.)
| 1. 1t isfirst essential in produc
ing any crop to thoroughly pre
pare the land for receiviag the
seed.
9. In spite of the lateness of
the season, do not attempt to plant
until’the ground has been thorough
ly prepared.
3. Select uniform land for your
corn plat. See that it is naturai
ly wil drained. B 2 certain to
survey the land carefully and di
vide it off accurately. An acie
contains 43,560 square feet.
4. Do not attempt to plow the
land until 1t is in proper physical
condition. You can determine
C this by taking a bandful of earth
from the bottom of a furrow and
squeezing it in the hands. If it
readily crumbles the land is in
proper condition to plow and stir
' ring it to a depth of 8 to 12 inches
may be pursued with safety. If
the soil compresses into a hard
lump and is waxy, it is too wet, to
Cplow, and cultivation under these
conditions will impair its physical
condition and lessen its ability to
' produce a satisfactory crop.
5. As soon as the ground is
broken, or if needed, disc ard har
row until it has been thoroughily
leveled and a fine tilth secured,
This is an important matt:r as it
tends to bring the moisture to the
surface, thereby hastening the
germination of the seed and pre
venting the top soil from drying
out. ‘ 3
6. Should a drought set in,
roll the land before harrowing in
order to prevent loss of moisture
“m excessive quantities by surface
evaporation. Preserve adust mulch
by thoroughly harrowing before
and after planting, On sandy
lands the weeder may be used to
‘advantage: on heavy clay lands
deiicient in vegetable matter, a
gbd type of smoothing harrow
~ should be used.
7. Lay ,off the corn in4tos
foot rows, depending on the
,svtrer.gth of the land and the variety

of the corn to be planted. If big
eared sorts are selected, plant in
wider rows than where prolific
varieties are used.
8, Open a furrow with a turn
ing plow or a 20 inch sweep run
ping through the furrow, say
twice, so as to get depth and
width. Puat in the bottom of this
furrow from four to six hundred
pounds of fertilizer, depending on
the character of the land. On
heavy clay soils most of the ferti
lizer may be put 1n the drill row
with safety at the time of planting
the crop. On sandy lands one or
two side applications should be
made and a smaller amount put in
Ithe drill ‘row on account of the
danger of loss from leaching.
9. On the heavy richest type
of red clay soils and on strong
bottorm land use about an 8-3-4.
lOn loamy soils containing some
'sand, use 2 9-3-5-5. On sandy lands
use a 16-4-5. On extremely light
sandy soils as much as i 2 per cent
lof potash may sometimes be used
to advantage.
10. Paut in the drill row on the
lighter soils from five to six hun
dred pounds. Mix the fertilizer
thoroughiy ~with the sub-soil,
using a bull-tongue for this pur
pose.,
11. When yard manure or leaf
mold can be secured, puttwo to
five tons 1n the open furrow and
mix it well with the sub-soil. This
'will cause the roots to penetrate
more deeply in the soil and forage
|over a wider area in search of
;food, thus insuring greater ability
to resist drought and a larger yield
i because of an increzsed amount of
'plant food rendered available to
%t-he crowing plants. Y hen more
'than five tons of manure are avail
!ab!e for use per acre broadcast il
iand work into the surface scil
with a disc harrow, Green legum
inous crops plowed under the pre
vious season may be made to sup
ply the needed vegetable matter.
Remember that corn loves a soil
well supplied with humus. Spare
lno effort to get an adequate sup
| ply for use under your crop.
% 12. In the absence of any vege
table matter, it is not so necessary
‘to open the furrow and mix the
commercial fertilizer with the sub-

soil, though this would often be a
profitable practice where one de
sires to make extra large yields.
After mixing the manure and fer
tilizer with th e sub-soil, draw the
furrows together and plant the
corn on the level, except on sandy
soils where planting in a shallow
water furrow may often be anad
vantage,
13. Harrow the corn several
times before and just after it comes
up so as to keep the crust broken
and prevent loss of moisture. Cul
tivate every week or after every
rain. :
14, Within thirty days or six
weeks after planting, depending
on seasonal conditions, use a side
application of two to three hun
dred pounds of fertilizer per acre.
A second application of two hun
dred pounds per acre may be made
two to three weeks later. On
sandy lands apply the side applica
tion alongside of drill row; on
loamy and clay lands broadcast
ahead of the cultivator. If the
;corn is yellow in appearance and
not growing vigorously, use a top
dressing of nitrate of soda at the
rate of one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty pounds per acre.
The nitrate of soda should be put
on not less than ten days before
the corn bunches to tassel.
15. Keep the corn free from
grass, weeds and suckers. The
prolific varieties tend to sucker
much more than non-prolific varie
ties. Closer planting should be
practiced with non-prolific varie
ties on this account. Plant the
prolific varieties 15 to 18 inches in
the drill rows, depending on the
natural strength of the land. Plant
non-prol fic varieties or big-eared
sorts 18 to 24 inches apart, While
corn may be planted by hand, a
more satisfactory methed is to use
2 good type of planter which in
sures uniform distribution of the
seed to a satisfactory depth in the
soil. Plant the corn two to three
inches deep. Plant deeper in sandy
than in clay lands.
16. Select the varieties of corn
which have given the best possible
results in your community. Buy
‘the seed only in the ear unless you
lhave made your own selection at
home. Take five to ten grains

a Sign of Advanced Age.
A hbhald-headed person does not have
