Spriny Flowing for Dry Years.
Farmers in this county will not do as
much fall blowing as usual this year.
One reason for this is that many have
become convinced that grain does better
on spring plowins. especially in a dry
year. This has been noticeable in a
marked degree this season. On many
farms, land plowed in the fall yielded no
return. while that plowed in the spring
grew good crop. The reason for tins
is easily apparent. The winter winds
blow the snow off plowed ground, leav-
ing it dry IN the spring, while the stubble
| holds and accumulates the snow which,
melting, leaves the unplowed land moist
and in good condition for seeding. THIS
point is worthy of consideration at the
hands of the grain growers. At any rate
It can do no harm if they experiment
next season with field of spring plow-
ing.
