PL0W IS ANCIENT IMPLEMENT
Mississippi Inventor Announces I'm
provement by Mechanical Meth
od-Absorbs the Water.

The plow Is an ancient implement
that. though improved In shape. Is still
simply broad spade that Is dragged
along horizontally. It breaks up the
soil to depth Of few inches. but
1t smooths down and compacts the
underlying layer. As this Is repeated
with each plowing. the subsoil be-
comes very dense aud hard. resisting
the penetration and storage Of the
water so essential to plant growth.
Remarkable results have been report.
ed from dynamite plowing, and are
doubtless due to the loosening Of the
compacted layers to considerable
depth. The new plow announced by
a Mississippi valley inventor suggests
improvement by mechanical method.
In a wheel are pivoted a large number
of pointed rods, which remain loose
during most OF the wheels revolution.
but are automatically clamped as they
near the ground, so as to be thrust
downward and forward into the earth
instead Of merely dragging or scraping
along. On coming out Of the ground
the points drop into vertical position.
with points upward. Flowing with
points may at least roughen up the
subsoil surface and make 1t more suit.

Soil Cultivation,

Prof. Ralph f. Parschall Of the Colo
RADIO Agricultural college says that
perhaps the greatest factor affecting
the duty OF water Is that OF cultiva.
ton. II the water absorbed by the
soil can only be retained and made
available for the growth OF the plant
the problem Of the duty Of water has
been practically solved. Crops that
will permit a thorough cultivation
after a thorough application OF water
will show decided increase In the
Yield. 1t has been determined that the
evaporation from an uncultlvated field
In a single month is four times that Of
similar field having three.inch dry
mulch.

CONDITIONS FOR
GROWING CLOVER
Chief Obstacle That Ia Encoun.
tered In the Corn Belt Is
tho Lack OF Essential
Phosphorus.

Whenever It Is difficult TO grow
clover the conditions must be made
favorable. In the corn bel, the chief
obstacle In the way Of growing clover
is the lack Of phospf As an aver.
age OF the last six years phosphorus
has Increased the yield OF clover on
the university farm by more than a
ton per acre. This plowed under
would provide enough nitrogen for 40
bushels OF corn. Another cause Of
clover failure is the acid condition OF
many soils. Practically all OF the soils
OF the southern third OF Illinois are
acid. and much OF the older farmed
lands OF other parts OF the state are
also acid. The remedy for this trou.
bic Is the liberal use OF limestone.
Limestone neutrallzes the acids and
renders the soil sweet and wholesome.
On the prairie land OF southern Illinois
the growing OF clover Is almost lost
art With an application OF two or
three tons OF limestone per acre every
four or five years clover can be grown
successfully on most OF those soils.

II heavy rains occur or II continued
cold, damp. rainy weather conditions

however, to infallibly foretell the seed
crop. The crop Is not assured until
the plants are well loaded with clus.
ters OF well.flled pods.
The vegetatlve ylgor of alfalfa is
usually increased by any cultivation
which loosens up and aerates the soil.
BY this process mulch is formed
which conseryes the moisture. Wheth.
er this Is beneficial TO the seed crop
depends upon the yegetative vigor OF
the plants at the time Where past
experience or observation indicates
that the growth will be normally Wig.
orous light cultivation will be likely
to work positive injury to the seed
crop. In that 1t will unduly stimulate
the vegetative growth. However, on
soil that becomes dry and where the
plants promise to make but light
growth, an intelligent use OF some
such implement as a disk harrow,
spring-tooth harrow. or alfalfa renova.
tor may be utilized TO overcome this
condition. Such civilizations should
be done early In the spring, before
the plants start into vigorous growth.
It is sometimes the practice to run
a heavily weighted disk three or four
times over the field early In the spring
In order to thin the stand for In.
creased seed yields. When an ordinary
plow Is used II is necessary to have
very sharp share and to plow out
three narrow furrows for every eight.
inch width left unplowed. In addl.
tion to this II is advisable to harrow
heavily later with spike.tooth har.
row in order to level down the ridges.
1t is also best to give some subsequent
cultivation to prevent the alfalfa
which has been turned under from
again growing and thickening the
stand. This subsequent cultivation
will also serve to hold the weeds In
check.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Plan to set out at least few trees
every spring.
Strawberry beds are damaged by let.
ting weeds and grass take hold.
Strawberries and grapes should be
uncovered as soon as they start to
grow.
Keep the soil we'll cultivated about
the trees and shrubs planted on the
lawn.
Shirley peoples, scattered broadcast,
come up quickly and make snowy
garden.
Prune OF all dead or weak
branches. Thin out the roots to let
the sun In.
Fruit trees are slow.growing plants
and therefore do not need qulck.acting
fertilizers as q rule.
1t is Just as necessary to have the
soil In a state Of high fertility for tree
planting as 1t Is for corn planting.
The following formula for grating
wax 10 recommended: resin, four
parts by weight; beeswax. two parts:
tallow. one part.
Don't neglect the strawberry patch
at this season. II the winds have
blown OF any Of the mulch replace
It on the bare spots Immediately.
Run a little light wire fence around
the orchard. particularly the plum or
chard. and turn the chickens in: they
will destroy thousands Of insects.
When planting. never let the roots
get dry by leaving them In the sun or
wind. Keep the trees covered with
wet sacks and uncover one at 4 time.
Cherry rot or brown rot affects all
stone fruits. including peaches, spri.
cots. II il by far the most serious
and banning Of cherry diseases to the
commercial cherry grower.

Down In little Florida town two

open well located midway between the

pick up buckets and go to the we'll for
water. One day the owner Of the
property moved the fence back about
ten feet from where It originally stood.
That evening when Eliza started out
with her pail she fixed her eye on the
fence and made straight for It. Walk.

she plunged into the shallow well with

Whats the matter, Jimson?
What's your great hurry this morn

"Oh. / see," the farmer replied.
"You want to get there In time to see
