EARLY FALL FLOWING.
It's Advantages Considered from
Scientific NIr,vpoint

The advantages of fall blowing over
the same operation ia the spring are
dwelt upon by Prof II. Snyder. of the
College of Agriculture OF The University
of Minnesota.
Fall blowing keeps the humms and
nitrogen of the soil in better condition
than late spring blowing. Nitrifica-
ton goes on in the soil until quite late
in the fall. and in the south the process
goes ON the entire year. The change is
most rapid near the surface. where
there Is plenty of oxygen from the air.
In early fall blowing the available nj
trogcn formed from the humus is near
the surface. where it does the sproutine.
seeds and the young crops the most
good. With late spring blowing. this
available nitrogen j. pIowcd under. and
inert organic nitrogen is brought To the
surface.

also necessary TO nitriication in the soil.
In water-logRed soils the humus does

oxygen. We thus see that nitriiication.
although sometimes a serious source Of
loss. may be largely controlled by care

The press Of the country is fun of

that she loved Errington, and he loved

silence. What woman could not read
