For small grains | double disk the
land Immediately after harvest, says I,
writer in the Orange Judd Farmer.
Ii rain comes between the time the
ground is disked and plowed, it is
well to harrow to maintain dust
mulch. After this the ground Is
plowed and the use Of the subsoil
surface packer is practlced, In some
cases grain fields are simply disked
as soon as the crop is cut and then
left undisturbed until the next spring,
either In May or June, when it is
plowed about eight inches deep. Ii
may not be necessary to plow old,
well-cultivated land to this depth.
! do not believe In the disk plow
This implement has been tested in
some localities and does not seem to
have given the satisfaction that the
old style moldboard renders. After the
field Is stirred | generally disk twice.
Sometimes one disking is all that is
necessary. My general practice is to
disk once before blowing and once
after. The surface is worked care
fully five or six times with the har.
row before seeding.
Potatoes, alfalfa, winter and spring
rye, sugar beets and barley are all
grown successfully, according to dry
farming methods. The agitation about
the conservation of soil water, or the
application of dry farming principles,
has brought about great change in
farming. In fact, dry farming and
good farming are synonymous with
US.
