Harrowing For First Cultiva
tion.
A great deal of planting has
been done during the past two
weeks and more i^ to follow. The ;
cultivation of the young crops
of corn and cotton will soon en
gage the attention of the farm-;
ers. In the early part of the sea- ;
son there is plenty of moisture
in the ground and plenty of rain
fall. The greatest difficulty a
bout the rain-fall at this season
is usually the abundance of it.
Hence the main thing in early
cultivation is to keep the crop
clean of grass and weeds apd 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 harrow across the
rows will tear up the ground,
the weeds, the grass and corn
and cotton, 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. Especially is this
true of coton crops. The cotton
‘ plant is so small and delicate at
first and so strong and sturdy at
i maturity that it make? a wide
contrast, and the average man
; fails to give enough 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.
The corn should be pushed as
soon as it is up. Keep the crop
clean and in a growing condi
tion. It is necessary to use ev
ery bit of time you have in cul
tivating your crops in the early
part of the season, because there
is so much rainy and bad weath
er in the spring that it is hard
to keep from falling behind with
your work and letting the weeds
and grass get the start on you.
The effects of stumps and trees
left in the field are impressive
in w'et seasons, because it is so
hard to keep the weeds and grass
killed down around them. Bet
ter get rid of all the stumps and
trees you can. They are a heavy
tax on the farmers’ labor and pa
tience.
juuuk. vseii alter cue pigs anu
calves. A good liter of pigs well
cared for through the spring
and summer will make meat for
a family next year. A good calf
will be worth enough to buy
shoes or school books for the
children next fall. Remember,
that without stock farming
as an industry would be a fail
ure. No nation can prosper as
inn agricultural people, without
: live stock on the farm, and
| plenty of it.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

Brave Girl Rural Carrier.
Batesville, April 19.— Miss
Gladys Massey, who carries a ru
ral mail route in this county, had
a thrilling experience near Alon
zo a few days ago. The young
lady goes over her route alone,
and for some cause her pony be
came frightened and ran away.
She jumped from the buggy
just before the vehicle struck a
small tree, being stunned for a
few moments, but not badly
hurt. Recovering from the
shock, she started in pursuit of
the animal, which had come to a
-top near a stream, after tear
ing the buggy to pieces and
breaking up the harness. Miss I
Massey succeeded in catching i
the animal, led it back to the j
place where the mail was scat
tered in the road, and after
gathering up all the letters and .
packages and placing them in
the mail sack, she mounted the
pony bareback and delivered the
mail to its destination.
