What Our Lands Nsed.

Keep the teams at work plowing ell
lands intended to be cropped next year
whenever the weather and the land Is
dry enough. 1t Is mistake to suppose
that because We have not the hard
frosts of the North to disintegrate our
lands in the winter that it Is therefore
time wasted to plow them In the fall
and winter. What all our lands need
Is more frequent and deeper plowing
and cultivation. The attempt to grow
crops with only one plowing and two
or three workings, is proven failure.
Let US amend the system and plow
and subsoil in the fall and winter and
repeat the work in the spring. Guilt
walton is much more nearly manure
and fertilizer than many are willing to,
concede. Besides these considerations
We need to plow in the fall and winter
to permit of the saving OF the rainfall
After the hot weather the surface OF
the land becomes so hard and baked
that instead Of the rain sinking into the
soil. it runs Off into the nearest creek
and river and is largely lost, when the
soil needs it badly to meet crop require
ments another year. Break and break
deeply and thus conserve the RAINFALL

disintegrate the soil when saturated

T. J. Watkins, prosperous North

way Of using manures:
I'VE find it most profitable to put
out the manure as fast as 1t accumur
lates. whenever the land is in condition.
to drive wagons onto ii. Rough man,
ure should go on the corn crop in its
season. corn being gross feeder, and
the manure puts the land in proper me-
chanical condition for this crop. The
side crops. such as sorghum, potatoes,
peanuts and such crops get their share
in their season. During crops growth
the stables are kept clean. In winter
when lands are too wet to run on the
manure is kept well sheltered until
such time as it can be hauled to the
fields. We use plenty Of absorbents to
save all liquids. We use retentive red
clay floors for our stalls, we'll beaten
down. AS yet We have never had
room to complain Of results obtained
from such floors. We much prefer
such to plank. Land plaster Is one Of
the best deodorizers; road~drst> is ale0
good. Where there is will the way
to properly manage manure will be
found In the winter months our lands
are generally too wet to go on with
teams, as We rarely ever have freezes
hard enough to bear up the wagons.
hence, as stated, We keep manure well
sheltered until such time as we can
haul it out to best advantage. Nothing
Is gained by running on lands too wet"
