Preparing Land For Crops.

One of the most successful farmers
in this country, says a writer in Farm
and Freside, whose success lies in
thorough methods and profits rather
than extensive operations. harvested
this fall a crop of corn on land which
three years ago was not capable OF
producing any kind of grain crop. This
corn is simply perfect, and there We're
eighty bushels to the acre, ana fifteen
acres in the field The first thing this
man did after he bought the land was
10 thoroughly prepare this poor field
for clover. He sOwed the seed, ana
the crop came on with a good stand
That clover was not cut, but left to
rlpen and fall upon the ground. For
two years this plan was followed, ana
last fall the field was plOwed deep
and thoroughly. This spring the har-
row and the disc We're put on and the
ground made fine and loose. The corn
was drilled in rows three and one-halt
feet apart and twelve inches in the
row. Thorough cultivation was given,
but IL was not different In character
from the plan usually followed in the
neighborhood. The only fact signlti-
| cant in the history of this corn crop
was the preparation OF the ground for
producing the crop. That field had
| become famous for It's poor crops. The
| purchaser was pitled by half the peo-
ple who heard that he had bought the
land. He adopted the simplest and
cheapest way to bring the ground back
to producing basis. He was out tne
use of the land two years, for ne ana
not even pasture the clover, but that
figures small when compared with the
profits from this one crop.
In commenting upon the methods en-
ployed to raise this big crop OF corn,
farmers admit the correctness of the
theory, but urge that only those farm
ers who can afford TO deprive them
selves of the yearly income from the
field could adopt the method. They OBJ
lect TO the length of time required 10
bring about the results. Their position
Is that they must have the returns
every year in order to keep even with
theis expenses. The reason cannot be
disputed, but it is little different from
the case of the man who habitualy
buys his supplies on time. His reason
for doing so is that he does not have
the money to pay cash. He pays at the
, end Of every month, but insists that he
does not have money to pay as he buys.
/ Ii he would practice economy for Just
= one month. during which he paid Tor
= things as he bought them, at the END
4 of the month he would not have to pay
for goods already used, and could phr'
chase where he pleased by paying cash
and getting goods cheaper. 1t Is SO
with the farmer. With an extra enor'
@ he can get along without the income
d from iield OF two that Is run down
. until he can build II up, and thereby
$ actually receive more. with greatly
l less labor. than IL lie had continued
II hopelessly and without reason to planl
S and plant ard never harvest to his sat
o lsfaction. The plea is to get the lanc
n in condition for growing crops. To dc
II this successfully the needs and require
q ments of the ground must be ascer
~ tained.
