Salem Abstract Co.

Reliability should be one Of the first
requirements made of an abstrace of
title company by those who deal with
it and purchase real property or make
loans upon the faith of an abstract
purporting to show the title to the land
involved.
To be dependable, company must
have, of course, what is known among
title men as complete plant" A
complete abstract plant is more accurate
than the original indexes at the court
house, because the title company has
skilled and carefully trained employees
and because it is equipped with splendid
indexes such as public offices do not af-

THE VALUE Of Disc PLowS

By ManIey champlin. Assistant Agronomist,
State College at Brookings, This State.
The deep tilling machine is being
tried out by all Of the experiment
stations belonging&o the State College.
We have found SO far that it has been
most profitable to plow over eight
inches; that is, to plow an inch or two
deeper than the land has been plowed
before. This has been very beneficial
because it breaks up the old plow sole
and increases the depth Of the oultivst-
ed seed bed. It is best to do the deep
plowing ahead Of corn or potatoes.
On certain soils it would be practical
to plow fourteen inches deep or more,
such as the gumbo soil west Of tho
Missouri river. which does not vary
much in texture between the surface
and the sub.soil, but on the glacial soil
east of the Missouri river, whore the
black soil is usually only seven or
eight inches deep, 1t would not bt. ad-
vissble to bring up more than an inch
or two at time Of the yellow sub soil
since " takes time for this to weather.
Disc gang plows have their chief
value In blowing In dry weather when
the mold board plow will not work sat.
isfactortly. The disc pillow pulverizes
the soil better than the other types.
Both types Of plows are needed on an
engine gang for ell kinds of weather.
