fwczlHs of Winter Brings Soil lnll
Setter Tilth @ Spring.

As much plowing as possible should
be done IA the fail on the western
farm The soil turned up is exposed

trate # to considerable depth. It
has been found that soils that are
covered with sod are not penetrated
more than half as deep by the frost
as are those soils recently plowed. It
is desirable to loosen the earth below
the depth to which the plow goes.
This Is especially valuable In clay
soils. With ground plowed well be-.
fore the coming Of frost, the soil will
be found frozen often to the depth
Of 20 inches. This means that every
particle to that depth is moved, to a
small extent The expansion Of the
particles Of moisture pushes apart
and breaks up the most retentive soil.
Clay soil that has been well drained
is thus made friable to a great depth,
and when spring comes and the frost
goes out Of the ground the soil will
be SO loose that air can penetrate to
q great depth and chemical action be-
made way for
The manures in the surface soil are
disintegrated and some Of them are
washed down. to the depth the frost
has gone, says Farmers Review. The
following result is that the roots Of
the plants seek the cool moist earth
below If there be in It plenty Of plant
food, and the plants supported by the
roots are the more able to resist any
drouth that may come in summer.
Where drouths are common it Is de-
sirable to have plants root as deeply
as possible.
Fall plowed land also will be found
freer Of cutworms and other injurious
insects in the spring. Some OF these
insects try to get below the frost
line, or at least to a point where freez-
ing and thawing in the early spring
is not possible. The blowing Of the
land turns up these insects and,
though they be still covered by the
soil, leaves the ground so loose about
them that they freeze, and that sew
eral times in the late fall or early
spring and are thus killed. While
fall plowing does not entirely wipe
out the army of cutworms that may
be in any ground it greatly lessons
their number.
