Therefore if the ground i:
plowed in the fall for corn, the
thorough preparation of the seed
bed should be commenced al
once. In short, before commenc-
ling to plow either in the fall OF
the spring, make up your mind
as to the kind of seed bed you
wish to have, or rather, as to
what is an ideal seed bed. 1t
differs very little for different
crops. Then ask yourself as to
whether the course proposed
will tend to do that, and what
further action may be necessary
after blowing.
Some farmers in the cutover
sections claim that fall blowing
is disastrous, and that the land
will not recover from it for two
or three years. They say this
land has lain so long without ex-
posure to the air, and the frosts
are usually so light in that sec
tion on account of the ground be-
ing covered with snow all winter,
that it really does not get the
benefit of winter freezing. They
claim that what it needs is break
ing up in June, getting the ben
eft of the summer heat and rain,
this putting it in shape for the
production of crops.
1t will therefore be seen that
this question of whether to plow
either sod or stubble in the fall
or spring is a very large one,
and that many things enter into
its solution. An observation of
the results of either method in
any neighborhood will help far
mers to quicker solution of the
problem. In farming in center
Iowa we always aim to plow sod
ground in the fall, and as we
SOW clover and timothy with
every grain crop, we do not us
ually have any question as to
whether we shonld pillow stubble
in August or early September or
leave it until fall or spring.
Whether the land is plowed in
the fall or the spring, the far
mer who is intending to grow
corn on that land should COM
mence preparation of his seed
bed as early as he possibly can
after the ground is in good work
ing condition in the spring.

Fall or Spring
Flowing.

We have a NUMBER OF queS
tions that come up regularly
every year, and some of them II
the very nature of things do moi
admit of a definite answer ap
plicable to every condition o.
soil and climate. Among these
the question as to whether it /:
best to plow in the fall or spring
is prominent. A subscriber from
Bates county, Mo-, writes as fol-
lows:
rs it better to plant corn on
spring plowed ground, the soil
being a stiff clay soil that packs
easily? l planted some on fall
plowed ground, and notice that
the corn stopped growing and
the stalks are thin; whereas my
neighborS who planted on spring
plowed ground have better corn.
l used about sixty pounds of fer
tilizer, consisting of bone meal
and potash, to the acre, and
thought that had something to
do with it; but the four rows l
left without fertilizer to be, used
as check rows show no difference;
so it cannot be that"
The best way OF answering
this question that we know of is
first to inquire: Why do We
pillow? There are various rea-
sons: one is, to enable us to pre-
pare seed bed; another, to fight
to the best advantage against
noxious insects in sod land.
Speaking generally, farmers pre-
fer to pillow sod land in the fall
and Stubble land in August or
early September. They pillow
sod land in the fall, particularly
if it is clay, for the purpose OF
getting the assistance of the
heavy winter freezing in prepar-
ing a seed bed, and also for the
purpose of exposing the various
roxious insects to the frost and
the birds. They pillow stubble
land in August and early Sep"
TENDER for the purpose of clean
ing it of noxious weeds; and in
both cases for the purpose of dis
tributing work over the year.
AS our correspondent does not
say whether the land he has
plowed was sod or Stubble, we
cannot answer his question as
definitely as we otherwise might.
His land is some distance south
of Kansas City. In those lati-
tudes it often happens that they
have an open winter, sometime S
with heavy rains. In that case
the farmer by blowing does not
get the aid of nature in prepar-
ing his seed bed, and fall plowed
land may in the spring be sol
sodden that it is in worse condi-
ton than it was before it was
plowed. This seldom occurs,
however, north of latitude ~.
Dur correspondent is in latitude
SS:4O. We have always cautioned
our readers south of latitude Al
about blowing their ground in
he fall, whatever its other adj
rantages might be, for the sim
Die reason that they do not get
he benefits that come from fall
blowing father north.
Northern farmers frequently
complain that stubble ground
bowed in the fall dries out worse
han if plowed in the spring.
While we do not wish to speak
N this subject very definitely,
ret we have a feeling that per-
laps the failure of fall plowed
bubble to hold moisture is due
o the way it is managed. If it
S allowed to stand without cul-
ivation until the time to plant

here is a great waists of mois-

congress ought to remain in session

$500 on his person, in march within
the city limits of Lacrosse.
His body was found last Sunday
