THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , MAY 4 , 1906 When To Plant Corn. Men's opinions vary , some xvh.it , as to the proper lime to plant corn. Some begin as rarh as tlu iO of April , it the J tli < ' weather is at all permiss- ib'r , while other * may be found planting as late us June. Of course , eillier extreme Is not The season has a great deal to do with the proper time to planl. Whenever the days be- tome warm and the nights are > iot too cool Ihis kind of weath er-remain * for a considerable time , then it is time to plant. The ground must b e warm i nougli long enough to encour age immediate germination and s-peody growth. We think that stunted corn is a * bad as a s.tnnted pig or calf or colt. Stunted corn is that which is planted beiore the ground is warm , ft lies in a semi-coma , tose state , germinates slowly , and finally sends forth a weak stalk. To this spindling stalk the warmth of the day just about equalix.es the cool of the night , and little growth is made. Hut the corn that is planted at the proper season germinates quickly and vigor ously , sends forth a strong thrifty stalk which grows rapid ly and gathers strength as the days go by. We once knew one of the very best corn growers in our community - munity who said that he would not plant beiore the 7th of May. And yet another who thought that when the hedge leaves beJc gun to come forth was the pro per time. Hoth of these men grew good com , and it always seemed to us that according to nature and the season , the coming - ing of the hedge ought to be a pretty good symbol of the pro per time to plant , as out of this source might be indicated the development of the season. Of course , the variety of corn has much to do with when it should be planted. There are varieties which are hardy and which may be planted early with impunity. There are some varieties of Yankee corn and # qua\v corn which m a y be planted with good results in the latter part of April. Men with a fore-Sight to growing good hogs plant this kind of corn in order to have an early corn for late sunnner'feeding. This corn ripens so early that it makes hog feed much earlier than the regular varieties of field corn , We think it is well for every man who keeps plenty of hogs to plont a few acres of this corn for early feeding from the stalk for forage and for the ear also , Summarising the proposition , we should rather recommend planting a little lute than too early. Get the ground in the best condition , and this may not be done quickly. The later planting gives opportunity of thoroughly discing the ground before plowing it , and this is an important thing. This applies full as well to listing , Then when the corn comes up , it will grow rapidly , and will give you a better opportunity to handle the weeds with best results , The early planted corn that grows slowly is soon outclassed by the weeds which are not easily retarded in their growth because of bad weather. The time to get the weeds is the first time through the Held with the cultivator , and if you can not get close to the corn because - cause of its being too small , it will be difficult to get the weeds which grow close in the row , and are in truth the most in jurious weeds of -Nebraska Farmer.
