Potatoes that were five or six ground it mellow will grow a crop with fewer cultivations. Wheat on the Chicago board is rapidly advancing.

The short crop last year was less than for many years past. A great deal of winter wheat has been killed in Kansas and Nebraska. The dry weather has had its effect.

Rows that were left uncovered, occasionally a stalk escaped. Why this? Can any one tell? Don't get the blues over the frosts.

Watch for a few days of warm genial sunshine to come, and behold how nature will mend her frozen fields.

If your plants and things are badly pinched, plant again. The season is yet early. Try again, is an Old maxim worthy of heed. The late freeze seemed to bound from one locality to another like the cyclone. It seemed to be general all over the continent.

Some places it froze everything others little. It was not a frost but freeze, and the wave that traversed the continent danced up'and down like a clown. Anything placed over a plant to prevent radiation of heat Frost every night for two weeks past. Corn that was planted ten days ago is only peeping through the ground. which was up, is frosted, turning yellow, and looks as if it had the chills.

Have faith, Warm days will come again. The darkest part of the night is just before day. If we don't have a good corn season there will be a large grain crop. We have been so abundantly blessed in the past with good corn crops that we 'think there could not be a short one.

One of the essentials of corn culture is early and thorough cultivation, without this the crop will prove a failure to the extent' of its neglect. This will be noticed by every close observer. Now the question is, what is thorough cultivation? This may and does vary with conditions, if the field is an old corn stubble and foul with weeds it will become necessary to commence cultivation as soon as the corn is planted.

This is done by plowing with the cultivators throwing the dirt on the corn and then WHAT THE NAMES OF STATES MEAN. 1. Alabama, (Ind.) here we rest. 2. Arizona, (Ind.) sand hills.

In this case if the work is well done, no weeds can start to damage the crop until large enough to allow dirt from the cultivator to be thrown to and'around the stalks in the hill. No weeds or grass should be tolerated in or around a hill of corn. We have had men tell us drifts of winter. It will penetrate that they do but littlo damuge to er. 8.

Then rains come and wet everything and keep everything damp.

Then comes a long season of dry weather when everything must be irrigated to preserve live. It is true that flowers bloom and fruit can be had in great abundance. Insects flourish like the balmy breezes to destroy it. It is a battle there to keep the fruit from being destroyed by tho insect creation. Then the orange tree has its scale that will soon suck the life out of the tree unless sprayed with some deadly poison.

It is a fight there as well as here against the elements and insect creation. Iowa has its drawbacks and so has all other places on the globe. dise is always a little ahead of us. What kind of a plow or corn cultivator shall I use is the question I often asked and the answer will be varied; If the ground is well mellowed up the surface culivator of I some kind will be the proper instrument.

King, Vice Ki of plows that will do excellent work so that any one can take their choice. If the ground has become hard then nothing is better than the old fashioned.long pointed shovel cultivator. Corn ground must be soft and mellow in order to produce good When ground is in proper condition the greatest end to accomplish is to cultivate olten enough to keep down all weeds. When ground has been allowed to seed with weeds, should be cultivated at least once a week, Weeds will grow high enough in two weeks to be hard to cover with the cultivator. Hence it is that the hills of com in the majority of fields are and weeds and the No ioul land should go longer than one week without cultivation, for if so weeds will cut short the crop.

The number of cultivations depend on the condition of the ground. Old ground should be gone over once a week until the corn is large enpugh to shade the ground well. After this weeds will grow but little. New mistake. Weeds like any vegetable vakes sustenance to sustain them and corn that stands in proximity with them must divide it.

As well say that the garden can be filled with weeds and grow fine vegetables as to say that grass and weeds can grow among corn without detriment. Clean corn, then, for good yields must be one of the maxims of tho successful corn raiser. The frost of May the llth was one of the soverest known for years. On Saturday warning was sent out Qf waterfj to all the towns of the state to take heed as the weather conditions favored a heavy frost. In our garden were beans, peas, early corn, cabbages, young beets, and tomatoes two inches high.

The last we covered with strips of cloth and paper which were frozen to the ground except one single stalk which was covered with about an inch of dirt, this came out with little damage.
