Land intended for corn should be thoroughly prepared. Deep plowing te accommodate tha deep root system of. the plant is advisable. It is essen tial, that orgapic matter be added to Georgia soils cither in the form of green manuring or as barnyard man ure or in the form of leaves 'and lit! ter from the woods, or in compost. This gives r.ot only protection against drouth, but the deoay adds humus and plant food. Corn requires a soil rich in nitro gen. One hundred bushul* of corn removes front the soil about 150 pounds of this element. At the time of planting apply net less than 500 pounds per acre of a fertiliser analyz ing four per cent organic nitrogen, 9 per cent phosphoric acid and two or three per east potash.

Obtain seed of a variety that lias done well In your locality, test the seed fo( germination strength and plant seed only from ears showing high record in germinal len. Give frequent, shallow cultivation till the ear is fully daveloped.. CJultl' vation is often stopped at the Wrpnp time. Deep plowing during cultlva tlon destroys roots and does much ir. Jury. It is therefore important that only shallow cultivation be given and that a nmlch be maintained as con stanlly as possible between the rows Pm Culture In Geargia J. W.
