Do Not Plant High Beds.

Small yields are due more to a poorly prepared seed-bed than to anything else. As rule. we do not appreciate the value of a deep thoroughly pulverized seed-bed. ln such seed-bed. more plant food is available. moisture is better con- served. cultivation is easier and more effective. It is better to de- lay planting few days, if necessa- ry, rather than put seed in a poorly prepared soil.
 A shallow, cloddy soil readily be- comes too wet or too dry. Too little or too much moisture in the soil for any length of time will pre-. vent the fullest development of the plant, since the moisture content of the soil controls, to great ex- tent. the crop yield.
 The moisture content of soil is controlled and regulated by the amount of organic matter in it. by it's depth and by the fineness of its pulverization. If either of these three conditions is absent, the moisture content cannot be proper ly regulated.
 Deep fall and winter blowing is necessary to the preparation of an ideal seed bed. The wet weather for the past few weeks has delayed planting Many farmers will make the mistake either of blowing their land too wet or planting on a poorly prepared bed. As soon as the land is dry enough. break it deep and thoroughly. Harrow or disc the land as soon as possible after the breaking Be sure that you have a deep, thoroughly broken, well pulverized seed-bed before plant ing.
 We should abandon the custom of planting cotton on high beds. Cultivation is more difficult and less moisture is conserved on such beds. The only place where even moderately high beds are justifia- ble, is on wet lands. But such lands should not be planted in cot ton until drained. The higher the bed. the more difficult the eultiva- tion, the more moisture lost and the smaller the yield. We have acquired the high bed habit. Let's quit it.
