cially winter wheat, turning yp the sub

quircs than does that portion of the soil

mold too far below the surface for the
corn roots to reach early in the season,
unless the surface has been heavily

way for corn, and also for potatoes, is TO
use subsoil plow, which breaks up the
hard underscil, but does not bring it to
the surface. This allows air and water
to penetrate the subsoil. enabling the
