Ituw to Cultivate Young Corn and Cotton.
A great deal of planting has been
done during the past two weeks
and more is to follow. The culti
vation of the young crops of corn
and cotton will soon engage the
a tention of the farmers. In the
early part of the season there is
plenty of moisture in the ground
and plenty of rain-fall. The great
est difficulty about the rain-fall at
this season is usually the abun
dance of it. Hence the main
thing in early cultivation is to keep
the crop clean of grass and weeds
and the ground stirred to keep it
from getting packed. The harrow
is a good implement to use when
the corn or cotton first comes up.
Running the harrows across the
rows will tear up the ground, the
weeds, the grass and corn and cot
ton. but it will prove a good means
of early cultivation, and leave a
sufficient stand, too. One of our
troubles is in having the cotton and
corn too thick on the ground. Es
pecially is this true of cotton crops
The cotton plant is so small and
delicate at first and so strong and
sturdy at maturity that it makes a
wide contrast, and the average
min fails to give enough room be
tween the plants. They should
have room to grow and spread and
room for plenty of air and sunshine.
A thinning process should be kept
up at each cultivation until it is
thin enough to make strong, sturdy
plants, with large, strong limbs and
plenty of bolls.
i ne corn snouia oe pusnea as
soon as it is up. Keep the crop
clean and in good growing condi
tion. It is necessary to use every
bit of time you have in cultivating
your crops in the early part of ,the
season, because there is so much
rainy and bad weather ’ during the
spring that it is hard to keep from
falling behind with your work and
letting the weeds and grass get a
s art on yoi. The effects of
stumps and trees left in the field
are impressive in wet seasons, be
cause it is so hard to keep the
weeds and grass killed down around
them. Better get rid of all the
stumps and trees you can. They
are a heavy tax on the farmer's
labor and patience.
Look well after the pigs and
calves. A good litter of pigs well
cared for through the spring and
summer will make meat for a fam
ily next year. A good calf will be
worth enough to buy shoes or
school books for the children next
fall. Remember that without live
stock farming as an industry would
be a failure. No nation can pros
per as an agricultural people with
out live stock on the farms, and
plenty of it.

Ucyjrding School Conso'U at) in.
In a conversation with Mr. Geo.
S. Prestridge, general manager of
the Union Saw Mil! Company, tf is
week regarding the consolidation
of the Harper Springs arid Huttig
school districts into one district
and establishing a first class high
school, he expressed hi < self v. b -
ing in favor cf it and raid he wtuld
guarantee that the Union Saw Mill
Company would do their part in
the matter.
He said if ground was wanted to
establish a demonstration farm in
connection with the school the
company would donate the land be
tween Mr. A. E. Lucas and Mr. C.
A. McCormick for that purpr.se and
expressed as his idea of the best
way the matter should be handled
at present would be to m arge the
present building here until the
school was firmly established be
fore erecting a new building, as the
needs of the district would be known
then, and the money at present be
spent for the benefit of the chil
dren in giving them a good school
at once. He was not adverse to
building later on. when just what is
needed is known, and when the
building could be designed in the
latest style for the comfoit anu
convenience of the pupils.
