VlllG luOuSl IdI Ill SHOWS l1dt the
careful preparation of sod ground
brings proita BILE results.
ROLLING SOD BREAKING
Nowhere in all our wide ex-
perience for many years have we
seen so complete demonstration
Of the value of rolling sod or new
breaking as in the Panhandle of
Texas the present year.
At our Plainview model farm
we have fifty acres of prairie sod
that was broken with a fourteen
inch single sulky mould-board
breaking pillow just after the first
rain in early May. Care was
taken to turn the sod as near bot
tom up as possible, breaking as
near two and a half inches as pos
sible. Then the subsurface
packer was used and well weight
ed. This forced the sod down
flat upon the subsoil below. The
next step was to follow with the
common lever harrow, teeth set
slightly slanting back and the
harrow allowed to lap one half.
The effect of the double harrow
ing was to loosen the surface
enough to fill the cracks and open
places with loose dirt.
In this condition the land was
allowed to lie until late in June
when another rain of about three
fourths inch came. In early
June another rain of about one
third inch came but other wo, k
was crowding and no narrowing
was done. On the 18th of July
rain of over an inch came, the
sod then being thoroughly rot
ted Then this land was all
plowed again about six inches
deep followed closely with the
subsurface packer and the pack
err was followed by the Acme
harrow in about two weeks.
Under this condition the extreme
summer heat started the weeds
and the Acme harrow was again
used. About the first of Sep
TENDER light shower, less than
one-fourth inch helped the weeds
again and another narrowing with
the Acme was necessary, and a
few of the weeds that escaped
the previous narrowing were too
thoroughly rooted to be destroy
ed by the Acme were cut out by
one days work with the hoe.
] Today, Septem Der 10Th, this
field is in ideal condition for seed
ing The mulch which is largely
composed of small Jumps is about
two and half inches deep and
Immediately under this the soil
is fine and firm carrying all the
capillary moisture the soil can
hold, in short, is very moist.
This will be seeded on Septem-

Agricultural Department
Edited By F. W. Bowen.

When sod has been broken the
next consideration is its prepar-
alton for cropping. AS a rule
sod is expected to receive fall
crop and ideally should lay fiat
with every crack and crevice fill
ed, so as to form an air tight
blanket; the object being to facil-
itate decomposition where the
grass and sub-soil meet, and to
prevent loss of moisture below
the furrow slice. The sod should
be deposited as near the sub-soil
as possible without cutting clear
through the sod.
The proper way to secure an
air tight sod blanket is by first
rolling the sod with heavy roll
err or with a packer, disking with
the disks set so that they will
not tear up the sod and then har-
rowing to fill in the crevices.
The ordinary plans of disking
all to pieces, or of not working it
at all are errors. The first for
the reason that it defects desir-
able chemical changes necessary
to abundant fertility. The sec
ond for the reason that it leaves
too many open spots and too large
air spaces. The more intimate
the contact of rod and sub-soil
the more rapid the development
of the essentials of plant life,
nitrates factoria. 1t is usually
conceded that of two plans not
disking at all is better than disk
ing too deep; but the right way
is to leave the grass layer adjoin-
ing the sub-soil intact until it is
we'll rotted. The benefit of roll
ing or packing sod, though not
commonly understood, is worthy
of special emphasis. The fol
lowing experience from "Plain-
Vile model farm" shows that the
careful preparation background
brings profitable results.

sleeplness and inability to tell what

considered as evidence OF a close at
