Cover Crops and Flint Corn. 
Y OUR article in January 16 issue about 
cover crops and traction engines, etc., 
reminds me that your readers should 
know my experience, that it is best to de¬ 
lay plowing under clover and vetch until 
they have made a good growth. There 
are many crops that need not be planted 
until June 1. Flint corn is really for 
most purposes better than any other; 
some was planted here the first week in 
June; it was cut and stacked by the 10th 
of September. If a field of corn be har¬ 
rowed or cultivated every week, there is 
a great saving in labor to have a va¬ 
riety that takes hut 12 weeks’ growing. 
Crimson clover and vetch can be sowed 
after the corn is cut and taken off. The 
legumes will then have time for their 
greatest efficiency by growing until June. 
We bad a very severe drought season be¬ 
fore last, yet the soil seemed damp and 
friable. Where the legumes were grow¬ 
ing their deep roots must bring up mois¬ 
ture. The land can be plowed easily from 
June 1 to 15. 
Here in Southern Maryland the dent 
corn, which is the usual variety, grows 
to great height, the stalk is strong aud 
woody, the leaves far apart. When the 
kernels glaze, the leaves below the ear 
are taken off aud bundled and tbe tops 
are cut off, leaving tbe ears on an empty 
pole to ripen. The ears with the busks 
ou are, when hard, taken to the barns, 
and the fields are left with stalks like 
posts all over them. These are cut down 
before replanting and generally burned ; a 
great waste certainly. All the flint corn¬ 
stalk is eaten by the stock; it seems to 
be sweeter and tenderer. At any rate the 
enormous stalk of the dent corn is waste, 
and that of the flint is food. According 
to a test it is shown that one-third of 
the feeding value of a crop of corn is 
in the stalk and leaves. 
An experiment made in Kent County, 
Del., seems to prove that having the fields 
growing Crimson clover and vetch when 
the corn is not, makes the soil grow con¬ 
stantly richer, and the crop of corn is 
every year better; this experiment covers 
six seasons. This past season I mowed a 
field of Crimson clover and vetch about, 
June 1, and it. proves to be excellent hay 
for feeding. I am glad to read the good 
words, for flint corn in your Hope Farm 
notes. We have grown it on our farms 
as long as I can remember, nearly 50 
years. ELBERT WAKEMAN.

FROM OUR FARMS TO YOURS 
Rapid-growing Shade Trees. 
I HAVE two tall pines in front of my 
house, one on each side of the walk. 
They have become ragged aud un¬ 
sightly, and I want to remove them. 
What trees can I put in place of them? 
House faces southeast. I want shade 
and ornament, and reasonably quick 
growth. I like the maple. Soil is sandy, 
with gravelly subsoil. Wild cherries 
grow luxuriantly here, but they are a 
nuisance. M. A. P. 
Lynbrook, N. Y. 
Any of the trees described below will 
be quite suitable for the location men¬ 
tioned in the inquiry: Silver-leaved or 
soft maple, extensively planted, of very 
rapid growth and very desirable for im¬ 
mediate effects; easily transplanted. Ash¬ 
leaved maple, a large tree of very rapid 
growth, desirable where an early shade 
is required. Somewhat irregular in form 
but withal a beautiful tree. Suitable to 
all soils, easily transplanted. Wier’s 
Cut-leaved maple, one of tbe most remark¬ 
able and beautiful ornamental trees, with 
cut or dissected foliage. It ii of rapid 
growth; the shoots are slender and droop¬ 
ing, giving it a habit almost as graceful 
as the Cut-leaved birch. Suitable to all j 
soils. Oriental plane (sycamore), a well- 
known tree from the Orient, of quite 
rapid growth, valuable ou account of its ' 
immunity from injurious insects and dis¬ 
eases. More compact in form than our 
native sycamore. Foliage deep cut and 
handsome. Very desirable for lawn, 
street and park planting, owing to its 
quick growth, succeeds in all soils. Sal- 
isburia adiantifolia, the Maiden-hair 
tree or ginkgo. A handsome tree of me¬ 
dium size and rapid growth; beautiful 
fern-like foliage, thick and glossy. Suit¬ 
able to all soils. k.
