LAND FOR WHEAT AND CATS.
SUGGESTIONS as 10 Preparation OF Soils
For Small Grains.

If the wheat or the cat crop is to
follow q crop Of peas, whether the
land should be rebrollen deeply will,
as stated, depend on the conditions.
# the land was we'll broken for the
peas and there is not too much
trash" on it, there is no necessity
for re-breaking, and this is especial
ly the case if the peas were cuItlvat-
ed or grew in the corn. In fact, bet
ter results will probably be obtained,
under such conditions, if the land IS
notre-broken for the wheat and oats,
unless it can be done at least month
before sowing the small grain and
be otherwise properly prepared.
Breaking the land for the fall
growing Of small grains, and also
frequently for the sowing OF peas,
is often DELAYED or rendered more
difficult by the hard condition Of the
soil at these seasons. Even though
it be possible to ploW the land, 1t
NAV break up into large clods III
such a way as to render the securing
of a proper seed bed difficult and eX-
pensive. II such cases the follow
ing method will often completely
solve the difficulty: First, disk the
land once or twice, or as often as Is
necessary to cut up the top surface
which VIII also best dispose OF any
trash which may be on the land
then break the land to the desired
depth ard stop Flowing soon enough
each forenoon and evening to thor
ouphlv harrow that which has beer
broken that same morning or after
noon. By this methods land tina
would otherwise break up into clods
will usually be easily pulverized b.
the smoothing harrow.
It is much more difficult and ex
pensive task to pulverize clods witt
the disk after they have been turne'
up than before the land has bee
broken. Moreover, the use of tn
smoothing harrow, as suggested
before the clods have dried out, wi
be much more effective than unde
the usual practice Of blowing tn
whole field before it is narrowed.
