why Farmers should Aim to Make Them
soils Deeper and Richer.

Why Farmers should Aim 10 MHke AuesE
soils Deeper and Richer.
Prof. Sanborn has been making a
series Of experiments by subsoiling.
The result is that il all depends on the
circumstances, just like deep and shall
low blowing. Subsoiling. it must be
understood. is properly breaking up
and meIlowing the sub-stratum Of the
earth. and not turning it up to the
surface and turning the soil down un-
der. There i rarely : case where this
practice would be desirable. It is al
most always great damage 70 land.
and il will take years for il to recover its
former fertility. The greatest advan-
tage in subsoiling Is to increase tine
amount Of moisture and 70 make it
available for the plants. This condition
always tells most favorably in the time
Of drought, but It's proportionately
disadvantage in wet season. Ii is
then always an injury. and these two
conditions are shown BY the expert
ments Of Prof. Sanborn. Plants grow
near the surface. or rather. mainly feed
near the surface. Their natural home
Is in the soil. and this extends but a
few inches beneath the surface. II
Is the vegetable matter humus. as
chemists call il. which fits the soil
for plant growth. II is more important
then that the farmer should increase
a. much as possible the amount OF or
panic matter in the soil. This Il the
foundation OF growth rather than in q
deeply stirred or broken up amount Of
the ground. III IL could be known be.
forchand that the season would be dry,
then subsoiIing would be the thing u
do. 50 that the surplus waters Of ths
spring might remain in the more open
ground. and be available when tns
drought should come. A deep soil i

and this Is always damage.
