HARROWING CORN
AND POTATOES.
“The best time to cultivate corn and
potatoes is before and after they come
through the ground.” With a team
and spike harrow a man can cover
three times as many acres per day as
he can later with a cultivator. By
adding one or two more horses and
harow sections, the ground covered
can be still further increased. The
too common practice is to leave the
crop after planting until it is large
enough to work with a wheel cultiva-
tor.

culty in breaking through. It also al- |.

Evaporation from the surface has
a decidedly cooling effect on the soil.

A Bellefonte Man
Gives Evidence
His Testimony Will Interest Every
Bellefonte Reader.
The value of local evidence is indis-
putable. It is the kind of evidence we
accept as true because we know we
can prove it for ourselves. There has
been plenty of such evidence in the
Bellefonte papers lately, and this
straightforward testimony has estab-
lished a confidence in the minds of
Bellefonte people that will not be eas-
ily shaken.
Joseph Alters, carpenter, 310 E.
Bishop St., Bellefonte, says: “I sui-
fered for a long time with backache
and kidney complaint. My back ached
so badly I could hardly keep on the
job. It was hard for me to do heavy
lifting or sawing. My kidneys acted
too often at times and the secretions
were scanty and highly colored.

warm up more rapidly, germination
will be better and quicker and there
will be less trouble with the rotting
of the seed.
Light harrowing also kills the little
weeds which start quickly on a crust-
ed soil. If they are neglected, hand
hoeing may be necessary to get them
out of the row. Some plants will of
course be broken off or uprooted by
harrowing after the crop is up, but
the loss is not serious if operations
are confined largely to the latter two-
thirds of the day when the young
plants are not so full of water and
brittle as they are early in the morn-
ing. .
It is generally best to slant the
harrow teeth backward and to drive
slantingly across the rows. In the
case of corn at least the stand is very
often too thick at any rate, and the
beneficial effect and saving in time
from harrowing much more than com-
pensate for the few plants destroyed.
