In dry season you can notice an ad-
vantage of the deeper broken soil over the
shallow broken. because the roots, being
able TO penetrate deeper, are enabled TO
find a larger supply of moisture than those
confined TO a shallow soil In a wet sea-
son. the deeply broken soil, being able 10
hold more water, less runs off over the
surface to wash away the top soil. As the
water sings into the lower portion Of the
loose soil, the upper portion dries quicker
and cultivation can begin earlier.

planted with corn. one was SUBSIDIZED the

Planting in Orchards.

The question is perpetually recurring
one, should orchards be planted in ordi-
nary crop? The general answer is never.
after the trees come into full bearing.
writes DR.. w. l.. Jones. Previous to that
certain crops may be grown in orchards
The general opinion, based upon long ex-
perience, is that small grain crops should
never, under any circumstances, be grown
IN orchards except as cover crops to be
plowed under before they mature Like
wise grass should never be grown in or
chards. except in cases where the soil is
so very rich that the trees do not fruit
and need their growth TO be checked to
induce fruitfulness. Up 10 fruiting time.
young orchards may be cultivated in cot
ton, in Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes and
other crops, which call for clean culture
and do not produce too much shade. OF
course, in cultvating such crops the young
trees are cultivated also, and this is one
OF the reasons in favor of planting other
crops in orchards it prevents neglect Of
the trees. Strangely enough, so many
people fail 10 realize that fruit trees need
cultivation. Because trees grow IN the for
est and by the roadside without cultiva-
tion, il is assumed they can do the same
in orchards, forgetful of the fact that a
fruit tree growing in a forest would bear
very litle fruit, and that, too, of very in
ferior character. In the cotton states the
best crop 10 plant in a young orchard is
cotton. II calls for cultivation of the same
kind. and during the same period of the
year that the trees do-that is, from April
TO July. A space OF four feet should in
tervene between the row of trees and the
row of cotton nearest to It. Moreover.
ihe cotton should be literally manured. so
that it shall not take away from the soil
of the orchard more plant food than was
given 10 it. OF course. when the cotton
Is cultivated each row of trees should re-
eeive the same cultivation that the rows
Of cotton do.

Turning Stubble Under.-Speaking gem
orally. stubble should be turned under as
a preparation for the coming crop. This
course tends to keep up the amount Of
humus in the land and to make it light
and friable Nevertheless there are cir
cumstances under which it become a
question whether il is better to turn
stubble under or burn it, If the land
is already full of humus, the immediate
necessity for adding to the supply is not
so pressing; If 1t is already quite light
further tightening may be an injury rath-
er than u benefit. If it be impossible 20
turn the stubble under long enough be-
fore the next crop is planted to permit
the stubble and accumulated trash to
decay. turning 1t under may fill the
ground with interstices which destroy the
capillarity, and If the coming season
should be dry the crop win be destroyed
for want Of moisture. A hill of corn
dropped on a bunch of unrotted etubble
beneath the surface might just about as
we'll not be planted, unless the season
following should be very wet all through.
These are some of the circumstances
which modify the rule that stubble should
be turned under. 1t should always be
turned under on land that is somewhat
heavy or that is deficient in humus. and
1t should always be turned under. too
If 1t can be done in time to give 1t on
portunity TO rot before the next crop sea-
