The Only Successful. Practical,
Cheap and Easy Way to Sub
soil and Hold Winter Rains.

The world has known but the one way,
that is to turn the soil with one Team,
and follow In the same furroW with
subsoil with another team. l. Will give the
objections to this mode. -
l. OFTEN when the soil IS in condition to
turn the subsOil Is too dry ana nara 10 Dc
subsoiled with an ordinary team
-. often when the soil is in condition 10
turn the subsoil Is too wet 10 he SUB
soiled but by this mode you have got TO
10 ahead and make horn or SpoA Il
:. By this mode It takes two teams 70
do the work and few farmers have over
one.
1. by this mode the land is broken
broadcast and leaves a smooth surface
and the winter freeze won't reach as deep
as YOU have subsoiled. Also the first
heavy rain will run the land together and
form "a crust which VIII be tough To pun
i'm the spring. and a great portion o. All
The other heavy rains will float off 10 the
rivers before IL will have time To soak
through the crust into the ground. there
10y carrying off a great amount of fertil-
izing properties which Is in the rain.
Now for the successful, practical,
cheap and easy way.
/. Use the 12-inch double turner point
with the medium right and left wings.
which will form a right and left turner
in one. As early in the fail az practical
lay or your land with the terrace or on
"a level feet apart. which will form
terrace and ditch every > feet all over
the land which will hold all the winter
rains and will get the freeze as much
deeper as is the depth of the furrow.
- If the subsoil Is too dry ana hard
wait uutil II rains. If the subsoil is too
wet wait until 1t gets dry and in condi-
tiOn.
B. Take off the Pinch point and wings
and put on the SubsOiier point and wings
and put one subsoil furrow I'm the bot
tom OF each of the large burrows. This
VIII break the ground from the surface
To "A depth of 10 to l. inches and the sub
soil Will pun almost as easy as the soil
This Will finish the fan and winter
plowiug. The large furrow forms a hop
per to hold the winter rains. and the sub
soilcr forms filtcrer to filter the fertil-
izing properties out of the rains and
serves as a reservoir to hold winter rains
Tor summer droughts.
In the spring your land is already laid
off. The subsoiler has undermined the
bed. The sunshine. air, freezes and rain
have softcned and melOwed the bed 50
ii will plow much softer than 1t would
if il had been broken broadcast
As the land is laid off feet. put the
fertilizer in every other furrow and the
rows viii be I feet wide. CThe rows can
be laid off wider or narrower as desired.
/ mention feet as II is the general Gus
tom of the country to have cotton rows
{ feet. So the next year corn can be
planted IN each cotton row. Then take
the Pinch double turn point the left
hand medium wing and the subsoil right
hand wing ana list on the fertilizers
with the SubSoli side next to the
fertilizer. This will form a beauti-
ful low bed to plant on and high sub
scilcd middle to work back to the grow
ing crops. and takes only two burrows
to the row IN the spring to be ready to
plant.
II "a more thorough spriig work is de-
sired. use the subsoiler and put four fur
rows T. the row. This will form a cow
bed and have the whole business sub
soiled with only four burrows.
This spring work can be done with any
o~Ginary plow. hut If course not as deep
and good.
By This mode all winter turning and
st-4soiiing is iCpe with Cne team.
By this mode all winter rains are held
on the land, and each row gets its own
share.
BY this mode the suhsoiing is done only
her the subsoil Is In condition.
I;v this mode the land can be prepared
eight q twelve inches deep and have the
rows laid off i'm less time than it would
take 10 turn it broadcast four to five
inches deep.
MaIorys Combination Plcw will do the
job ana any other work you wish 20 10
