Flowing For Beets

The pluw has come from crude
implement to the best that the in
ventive brain OF man can produce.
Stirring the soil Is the fundamental
principle OF agriculture. Flowing
welld0ne Is the foundation upon which
farming Is built. Flowing to the aver
age man seems to be simple and easy
process, but the science and the art nf
how to do II are deep subjects. The
kind Of plowtng u farmer does usually
displays his know ledge OF farming and
underlies his success or failure. The
first commandments, with hardly an
exception, Is to plow deep.
The first reason we plow deep Is to
make reservoir to hold and store
moisture. II ground Is plowed ten
inches deep and put In good condition
It. will absorb aud hold more rain or
Irrigation atone time than land plowed
half that depth would hold, and the
deep plUwing will retain It longer.
Deep plowing is usually good blowing.
for It grinds up and pulverizes the soil
Soils plowed deep come into good tilth
better and getting the soil In good
tilth makes available more plant food
1t let's 10 warmth aud air and gives the
chemical and meteorological agents
a better chance to work. II land is
deep and well pulverized larger part
OF the soluble plant food becomes
available and the plant roots pass
through 1t more easily. Good. deep
plOwing Is the kind that gives the
best results In any crop. Poor work
always leaves its mark and that mark
Is always minus sign when the re.
suits reach the pocket book.
To do good blowing, the furrow
should be cut about one inch less than
the share. There should be no skips,
and the cut and cover method should
be absent. Good blowing should be
done when the soil Is 10 proper con.
dition. Our heavy soils should never
be plowed when wet. There is not so
much danger on sandy loan soils. The
best results are obtained when we
plow the land In proper condition.
This is not new, but 1t IL we'll to fresh.

en- up our memories about this time OF
year.
One thing more, the question is often
asked, "what do you call deep pillow.
Ing for sugar beets?" That depends
on the nature OF the soil. 1t will run
from eight to fourteen inches or deep
er. II hardpan or adobe land. the
plowing should be deep-twelve to
sixteen inches. A good depth is never
amiss. but on land where the topsoil
Is shallow TOO much OF the subsoil
should not be turned up at one time.
1t will take the Held too long to re.
deem itself. It Is better to go down
one or two inches each season until
the required depth Is reached. As
rule, IT Is safe to plow beet land nine
to ten inches deep. G. J. KEARNs,
