oN SuBsoIILING AFTER DRAlNAGE.-IIow frequently
we hear Of Farmers, who having subsocd poor thin
skinned land, lind that their first crop is diminished
| thereby, particularly if corn CROP and therefore
| suoSOlng Is at once condemned. Now, this result
| might naturally have been expected. 1t Is quite
clear If you disturb deeply Very shallow soil on
stllt clay SubSOl you ought to increase considerably
your supply Of manure the first two or three years
TIL the hungry subratum becomes full of roots and
| organic matter, \ 0u must bear in mind, this Un-
drained subso has been like stiff Suffolk chccsc-a
dense mass of poverty, unoccuped by or worms
and unacted upon by the gases of the atmosphere.
| Of course by disturbing and intcrmxng with the
cultivated surface, it naturally rub il of par of its
GOODNESS and lmparts to it portion of its poverty
1t often happens on bringing up the SubSoil crop of
weeds grow up from long buried seeds. | therefore
strongly advise root crop after SubSOling, because
then the land Is well manurCd, often hOcd and when
the crop is removed, vast quantity of strong roots
crop. Al dccp iap-rootcd crops do well on newly
subSollGd land, such as beans root and rape; but |
prefer the land becoming more solidifcd for white
crops, particularly wheat consider it profitable to
SuD-so or rcncl-plow tor every root crop even if
you grow them alternately with wheat it only adds
trlhe to the expense, and | am it makes more
than double that difference in the quantity of roots
