u Now is the time to begin prepara.
= lions for the next corn crop and gar.
= den vegetables. The best advice given
by experienced men is, spread manure
now on next years corn lard. Turn
l. the land not later than January. Set
e the furrow UP on edge so as to expose
h the land to the action of the frosts
}. and freezes. When the furrow slice s
: are laid over fiat the ground is more
liable to pack and run together, and
II at all steep, to wash. Nearly all
= Tazewell land should be turned during
the winter except of course where
: crimson clover, rye or some other
cover crop is growing. Gardens for
vegetables should be turned during
the winter. The soil pulverizes, trash
and litter rots and many worms and
$ eggs OF insect pests are destroyed.
D Keep the spreaders and pillow running
every chance, is good advice.
