CULTIVATION OF LISTED CORN. It is an idea with many farmers of the districts where corn is checked entirely, that listing is a slack method of corn culture. In the past listing has been practiced most generally by farmers who grow large areas. Hence the methods of cultivation adopted have been those which accomplished most in the least time. This was often carried lo excess, even to the detri- ment of the crop. Some growers harrow the ridges before the corn comes up, especially if the weeds start early. Others wait until the corn is two or three inches high and then harrow. By both of these systems, clods and corn stubs (if the old row has been listed out) are rolled into the furrow. In the former case these obstructions hold the sprout beneath the surface, and in the latter bury the little plant. In either case the weed seeds which were thrown out on the ridges away from the corn, are now returned to the furrow before the corn has had time to get ahead of their growth. Rolling with a heavy roller has some advantages in that instead of hurling the clods into the furrow, it simply pushes them down, crushing a great many. The idea of these last two methods is to level the ridge for the SINGLE ROW DISC CULTIVATOR WITH SLED AND KNIVES FOR LISTED CORN. This type of cultivator with varying attachments is commonly known as the ";.
