VVALLoRY'S MODE.
The Only Successful, Practical, Cheap
and Easy Way to Subsoil and to
Hold Winter Rains.


that is to turn the soil with one team.
ana follow in the same flnrow with a
subsoil with another team. Wll sNo
the objections to this mode.
l. Often when the soil is in condition 70
turn the subsol is too dry ana nara 70
be SUBSIDIZED with an ordinary team
?. OFTEN when the soil Is in condition 70
turn the subsoil Is too wet to be SUP
soied but by this mode YOU have got TO
so ahead and make a morn or spoli u
spoon.
8 BY this mode it takes two teams to
do the work ana few farmers nave over
one.
= BY this mode the land is broken
broadcast and leaves Il smooth surface
and the winter freeze wont reach as
deep as YOU have SUBSIDIZED. Also, the
first heavy rain will run the land together
and form Il crust, which will be tough to
pull in the spring. and a great portion of
all the other heavy rains will float off TO
the rivers before it viii have time to
soak through the crust into the ground,
thereby carrying Off great amount Of
fertiiZing properties which is in the rain.
1t is next to an mpossibility 10 DO :.
job of deep blowing the old way.
New, for u successful, practical, cheap
and easy way.
t. Use the I2-inch ouble-turner point
with the medium right and left wings,
which will form a Right and lett turner
in one. As early in the fan as practical
bic lay off your land with the terrace
or on q level ? feet apart which will
form terrace and ditch every 2 feet
al over the land. which viii hold an the
winter rains ana viii get the freeze as
much deeper IS the depth of the fur
row
2 II the subsoil is too dry and hard,
walt until it rains; il the suhsoil is too
wet, wait until IL gets dry and in condi-
ton
3. Take Off The l2-inch point and wings
and put on The subsoiler point and wings.
and put one subsoi furrow in the bottom
OF each Of tho large burrows. This will
break the ground from the surface to a
denth of 10 to u inches. and the subsou
win pun almost as easy as the soil
did
This viii finish the fan and winter
Flowing. The large furrow forms a hop
per TO hold the winter rains, and the sub
soilor forms d flterer TO filter the fer
tilizing properties out OF the rains ana
serves as a reservoir to hold winter
ralns for summer droughts 1t will alb
solutely keep land from washing.
In tine spring your land is already laid
off The subsoilcr has undermined tho
bed. The sunshine. air freezes and rain
have softcned and nellowed the bed so
il win plow much softer than it would
il ii had been broken broadcast
AS the land is laid off feet put
the fertilizer III every other furrow and
the rows will be feet wide Crhe rows
can be laid Off wider or narrower as
desired. j mention feet as it is the
general custom Of the country to have
cotton rows feet 50 the next year corn
can bo planted in each cotton row; also
affect rows IS the full capacity of the
plow) Then take the 2-nch double
turner point. the left-hand medium wing
and the subsoil rlght-hand wing and list
on the fertilizers with the subsoii side
next to the fertilizer. This viii form
beautiful low bed to plant on and high
subsoiled middle TO work back to the
growing crops. and takes only two fur
rows 10 the row in the spring to be ready
10 plant.
If 3 more thorough spring work IS de-
sired, take off the gauge wheel. use the
suDsoilei and put four burrows 10 tina
row This VIII form low bed and
have the whole business subsoiled with
only four burrows
This spring work can be done with
any Ordinary pillow but Of course. not os
sleep and good or II you wish to get
rid OF the ridges and have YOUR land q
smooth surface, use disc harrow, and
you can harrow 10 your hearts con
lent.
by this mode ali winter turning and
subsoiling is done with one team
BY this mode. all winter rains are held
on the land. and each row gets IT'S own
share.
BY this mode the subsoiling IS done
only when tine subsoi is in condition
BY This mode the land can be prepared
10 . inches deeD and have the rows
