D
Farmers do not sufficiently APP
preciate the importance OF early
fall blowing. SO soon as tho
small grain 10 stacked, which
should be done ~ quick as
possible after cutting, tho ground
should be plowed before tho weeds
perfect their seed. This insurcs "A
clean farm. When the weeds, grass
and stubble arc green, and tho wealth
or is warm, turned under they soon
ferment and decay, making a large
amount of fertilizers. But IL tho
ground Is permitted to remain I'M
plowed until the weeds ripon and
tho weather becomes cool, the
seed viii be carefully protected for
an early start the next spring, and
tho weeds and stubblo do not rot
until after the crops are plowed next
spring. No threshing, visiting, or
even centennial excursions, should
interfere with fall blowing. As
much as possible should be done In
the month Of August. Those who
do their fall blowing after frost, arc
not the kind the Rsyister classes
among good farmers. In view OF
the trouble with weeds next year,
and the benefit of the grocn crop
turned under as manure, tho iinpor-
lance Of early blowing assumes u
position which cannot be overlooked
by the good husbandman. And tho
late rains have been opportuno to
