tion of the crop should he rapid and
thorough until the vines liecome so large
as to become injured. As a fertilizer,
like the Irish potato, the sweet potato
requires ono in which potash is the doffi
Inaut.
CORN.
In cultivating corn which do yon pre¬
fer, shallow or deep culture?
O. L. C., Bartow.
We believe in thorough preparation
and shallow cultivation. Experiments
have sufficiently demonstrated that in
nearly every instance shallow culturo
will give an increased yield. The in¬
crease is not very marked, but when
considered in connection with the in¬
creased cost attending deep cultivation,
forms a potent reason why this system
should be adopted.
MANURING THE ORCHARD.
Would it do well to give my orchard
a dressing with stable manure at this
season of the year? M. T. O.,
White Plains.
Stable manure should have been ap¬
plied in the autumn if used, but in onr
opinion it is not the best dressing, espe¬
cially for young orchards, for when ap¬
plied too literally it is likely to force an
undesirable growth, and experiments
indicate that it does not contain phos¬
phoric acid in sufficient proportions to
balance the amount of nitrogen it con¬
tains. A dressing of ground bone or of
acid phosphate is therefore beneficial in
conjunction. At this time of the year
it is best to ajiply a quick acting high
grade commercial fertilizer.
DISTANCE TO PLANT.
What do you consider the hest dis¬
tance to plant corn, and what cotton?
L. M. T„ Mt. Veruon.
The distance to plant either corn or
cotton depends on the character of the
sod, and the farmer must be governed
by this as no certain rules can lie given.
Again, the rules governing the two are
diametrically opposed to each other.
Thus on rich soil we plant corn close,
while we give cotton more distance. On
less fertile land tlie reverse is the case,
that is, corn is given more distance and
cotton planted closer.
