To Produce Better Crops

There is one way to get better re
suits from the land and that is to uti
lie the plant food constituents bet
ter. Uuless the plant foods in the
soil are used they are OF no benefit
to the manager of the farm.
One way to use the plant food con
stituents is TO plow deeper this fall
and thus have more sold for the roots
Of the plants. In this way the roots
can find more available plant food
to develop the tissues of the plants.
Another way to get the benefit of
plant food that is otherwise ineffi-
cient in producing crops is 10 store
more moisture this winter to reduce
the amount necessary TO produce
crops next spring and summer. This
can be done by deep breaking. good
narrowing and satisfactory mellow
ing of the soil And unless this is
done much of the rain that falls this
winter may run off as surface water
BY Incorporating more vegetation
in the soil the supply of plant food is
increased and the inactive and un.
available constituents already in the
soil may be made available for tho
use of plants. In the process Of con-
verting organic matter to humus
humic acid is formed and this helps
to reduce insoluble forms of potas-
sium and phosphorus to an available
form for the use of plants.
Early and deep breaking will have
great Influence upon tillage next
spring. because 1t makes cultivation
easy and satisfactory. Early plowing
may also destroy many insects that
would iniure crops next summer.
Therefore the most important thing
to do toward producing larger croDs
next year Is to break the land early
and get ii in good tilth before spring.

would not have been paralized. for It
was in the towns where this disease
prevailed in epidemic form. Small
