THE SEED BED.

Next to securing good seed that will
grow there is no other respect in
which the tiller OF the soil should ex-
ercise greater care than in the prep
aration OF the seed bed. More farm
ers fall down here and lessen the ca.
pacity OF their land to produce large
crops to a larger extent than in any
other single way. Valuable land
should receive something better than
this thirty cent care. which IS likely
praciced as generally as it is because
the sinners along this line don't real
ize that for small grain to grow prop
erly the bed in which it is planted
must be loose enough to make possible
a ready circulation Of air and moisture
from the surface down and from the
subson to the surface.
