Cooperative Demonstration Work.
Topic for Discussion in Novem-
ber-Deep Fall Breaking Of Land.
(BY C. R. HUDsoN.)
Raleigh, N. c., Nov. 9.--For a
number of years the Southern farm
ers have been trying to produce
large, profitable crops of corn on
shallow soils, The records of corn
growing show that they have failed
During this same period a few of the
more progressive farmers have been
breaking their lands from six to
eight inches, and even to ten inches,
deep, and have produced from thirty
to sixty bushels per acre at a small
cost. For forty years the average
depth of break . G&:Sland in North
Carolina has beer o0out four inches
with an average yield of less than
fifteen bushels of corn per acre.
Last year the men engaged in the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstra-
ton work broke three thousand acres
from six to ten inches deep and
harvested a little over forty bushels
per acre, The cost was about
twenty-five cents per bushel.
Can we not learn a valuable
lesson from the experience of
these farmers? Let us study,
briefly, some of the advantages of a
1eep soil. One of the most impOr-
tant problems connected with corn
growing is a properly distributed
supply of moisture. We cannot
have this on shallow soils. The
shallow soil is soon filled with water.
This keeps out the air. (Two things
cannot occupy the same space)
Corn will not grow unless air gets
Town to its roots. Therefore the
corn fails during wet spells of
weather The excess of rainfall
Usually does much washing under
such conditions. When the rains
cease, the small amount of water
held in a shallow soil is soon ex-
hauSted by evaporation and by be.

parts of the deep soil, letting the
air into the upper portions so that
the corn continues its growth. When
dry weather prevails the deep soil,
by having caught previous rains, is
able to supply moisture enough to
keep the corn green and growing.
In this section we nearly always
have a wet spell or a dry spell of
weather during the period of corn
growing. One usually follows the
other The effects of both extremes
can be largely overcome by having
a deep seed bed. Then, too, it
stands to reason that there is more
plant food in a deep soil than in a
shallow one.
Some exceptions to these state
mentS should be noted. A soil that
is filled with water during a consid-
cradle portion of the year is not
benefited by deep blowing. If such
soils were well drained, then deep
breaking would be good for them.
Many marshes and other wet soils
would produce big crops if they
were drained and deepened by plow-
ing Loose, sandy lands, with open,
porous subsoils; without any clay in
them or under them are not much
benefited by deep breaking. If
much humus is to be turned under
on them, then deep blowing gives
much better results.
The time of deepening the soil is
important. Many farmers wait till
spring to deepen their soils and Of
ten make poor crops because the
subsOil was too wet to be ploWed
after the winter rains had fallen.
The proper time to do deep break
ing is during the fall and early vii
ter, provided the soil and subsoil
are dry enough. This permits sew
eral weeks Weathering to take place
before spring planting begins. Land
that has never had the atmosphere
down into it is not a fit place to
plant seed. This also allows the
soil to be pulverized by the freezes
Both the air and the freezes are
very valuable in making plant food
available for the use of crops In
doing deep breaking at any time, it
is not advisable to turn very much
raw subsoil out on top. Those who
expect to make big crops next year
should begin now to deepen the
soil. If properly done, under aver
age conditions, no further deep
breaking will be necessary in the
spring. Then is the time to do a
lot of discing and narrowing in Or
der to make a nice pulverized seed
bed.

LONDON A BUYER
ON WALL STREET

NEW YORK, June 6.-Prices of
stocks broke violently to new
low levels for the year in the
late session Of the stock ex-
change today, after nervous and
feverish fluctuations up and
down for the most Of the session.
The break was coincident with
the circulation of reports that
the railroad presidents, who have
gone to Washington to protest
against the governments action
to enjoin western trunk line
freight rates, had given up hope
OF securing any modification of
the intended course of the law Of
ficers of the administration.
At one time the level had been
lifted 1 to points over the
closing level of Saturday quite
generally. London joined ac-
lively in the buying, as has been
the case at most periods of vio-
lent decline, and speculative senti-
ment took on quite a cheerful
hue. The excessive dullness into
which the trading fell at the ad-
vance argued an unwillingness
on the part of the buyers to fol-
low the rise and indicated weak
undertone, but 1t was hoped that
the hesitation was due simply to
q desire to await the outcome OF
the White House conference.
During the time of advancing
prices there was a supposition en-
tertained that some sort of work
ing agreement had been arrived
at between the railroads and the
government authorities for
solution of the rate controversy
on lines which would relieve the
anxieties of railroad officials. The
assertion OF President Brown of
the New York Central was taken
as a text for this supposition to
the effect that the eastern rail-
roads offered more than a month
ago to suspend the new rates
then under consideration pending
an investigation by the COM
merce commission as to their
reasonableness. This would be
in conformity with the require
ment of the new railroad law as
IT stands in its present form and
would insure the submission of
the proposed changes to the new
law. It was even suggested that
the new situation might bring a
change in the law in conference
between the houses of congress
which would permit agreement
on rates, the elimination of that
provision from the administra-
ton bill having prompted the ac-
tion to enjoin the new rates.
News of the crops and of
money conditions was taken to
account partly for the better
tone of the early dealings. Ex-
pressions of satisfaction were
heard from western banking au-
thorities over the benefit to the
credit position which liquidation
has been effecting in grain, cot
ton and stocks.
News of the sale abroad of
S25, 900 900 Southern Pacific bonds
was not generally known in Wall
street before the market closed
No attention was paid to any
thing but the expected conference
at washington. After breaking
from 2 TO over points prices re-
bounded l to points, with the
demand from the bears to cover
shorts, and closed in consider
able disorder.
Bonds were irregular. Total
sales, par value, s1,S54,0o0.
United States bonds were un-
changed on call.
