CULTIVATE OFTEN. Having planted the seed properly and given the proper width between rows, say about four feet, and the proper dis- tance between hills, about two feet, the next step is to run the cultivator so as to throw the soil about evenly to and from the rows and then harrowing immediately until the soil is perfectly leveled and fined so that the cultivation may be commenced GROWING CORN SUCCESSFULLY. as soon as the stalks are fairly through the soil and the rows can be seen. The cultivat...ion must be continued at least once a week, and twice would be far better so that every facility will be af- forded for raoid and healthy growth. The first cultivations, when the plants are small, may be close to the plants, but after the growth has attained to the height of eight to ten inches 'the cultiva- tor should not go so close, but at all times it may be shallow, so as to not disturb the plant's growth by cutting the roots. If the.cultivation can be given twice each week and if it is kept up until the grain begins to harden there will be given the very best opportunity for the most perfect growth, other conditions being equal, and the greatest results may be looked for in the way of greatly improved seed.
