Contrary to general belief, cultivation does not It does kill moisture, ■keep water in the soil, weeds that would use however. The roots of the corn located in the first six or ches of soil. It is in this layer of soil that the most nutrients are to be found. Summer rains of one- quarter to an inch moisten only about three inches of soil. Stirriny of this layer aerates and dries out the oil and prevents the roots from securing food and moisture.
