Emndné:, state agent in charge of the boys and girls’ club work carried on by the Connecticut Agricultural college, the State Board of Education and the U. S. Department of Agriculture have sent out another letter to the members of the New Lon- don County gom club regarding the preparation of the plot, the planting of the sced and the cultivation of the plot. The letter reads as follows: Much work can be done in your corn club plots previous to the time your corn is up, so don’t spare any pains in plowing and harrowing your corn field and if you have a weeder be sure to go over your corn field with it. ¥ “Read over the following instructions carefully and carry them out con- scientiously and they will save you a great deal of work later in the sea- son. Preparing the Plot. The field for your corn plot should be as good a piece of land as you can find. Sod land is good sod on a ‘good grass sod. Old run out pasture land is not often the best for corn. Manure—Spread evenly ‘before plowing, 15 to 20 loads to the acre. If the manure is fine and well rotted, save part of it 3o harrow in after the plowing. Plowing and Han-owing—l’low the Tand as early as possible and g0 over with. a :disc harrow the-same day or the next day. The plot can then be left until a few days before planting, when it should be harrowed untn a fine mellow seed bed is made. Don't be afraid to spend time in harrowing. Fertilizer—If you plan to use com- ‘mercial fertilizer, it can be put broad- cast just before the harrowing or put on with the corn planter. Fertilizer is expensive this year and. if you have good manure use for fertilizer only 400 pounds per acre of acid phosphate. If you have no manure, use 1000 pounds per acre of a 4-10-0 formula. Planting. If you drop by hand, mark out the plot into squares, 2 feet by 3 feet and drop 5 kernals at the cornmers of the if it is clover| Moth and Bug Killers .
