How Deep to Plow.


The deep blowing question is one
which probably will never be settled.
We notice that men fresh from the
Old Country plow deep while those
who have long been in the corn belt
plow shallow, scarcely ever more than
five inches. We have argued with
farmers On the question of shallow
plowing, and have been assured time
and again that shallow plowing pays
better than deep plowing. We sus-
pect, however, that it is largely a
matter Of horse flesh. 1t takes nearly
twice as much power to plow deeply
as 1T does to pillow shallow whether or
not they are l,istihed in so doing.
z The proper depth TO plow depends
much on the subsoil and how the
land has been handled In previous
years. II deep plowing turns up cold,
heavy clay, the results will almost
surely be decrease in yield for one,
and perhaps two or three years. In
the long run. we suspect that there
will be an increase as result of the
deep blowing. If the blowing has
been four or five inches deep for a
number Of years previous, q sudden
deep plowing will turn up a compact
plow sole, which plant roost do not
relish. II deep plowing is done only a
few weeks before crop is planted,
there may be some trouble from the
seed bed being too loose, resulting in
the presence OF too much air and not
enough moisture for the best growth
OF the young plants.
The general pracJlce In the corn
belt is to plow shallow Nevertheless
we think that in time our farmers
will come to deeper blowing. AS our
methods Of farming hecome more and
more intense, they will come to feel
that they must give good deep
plowing at least eight inches once
every three or four years. The logic
Of deep plowiDg Is simple. A large
proportion of plant roots naturally
forage In the com parativsly loose
plowed soil, Deep plowtng is
ShOtVAOAOy hlNoAAo q lbl SOA AOCAAuk area
Moreover, it makes the soil more cap
able OF holding large amount Of
moisture. So far as possible. we
would do the deep blowing in the fall
previous to some cultivated crop, such
as corn or potatoes. In the spring,
we would not plow deeper, as a rule,
than five or six inches, except for po-
tatoes, for which seven or eight inch
plowing might be justified.
Small grains and fax do not appre-
ciate deep plowing. They wish firm
seed bed, and disking the ground
without powing is often enough to
give them what they want. Corn ap-
preciates moderately deep plowing.
Potatoes respond better to deep plow-
ing than any other Of our common
crops.

Called Home.

The sad news of the death OF Mrs.
Emil Christopher reached Canton
Saturday morning. Julia Johnson
was born February Il, 1877. She was
twelve years old when her mother
died, and from that time made her
home with her aunt and uncle Mr..
and Mrs. John Ousdahl OF White Hall,
Wisconsin, until about fifteen years
ago she come to Canton and made her
home with her aunt and uncle Mr..
and Miss Johnson until recently.
March q, she was married to Emil
Christopher, and on April, 2, they
left for Quinn, S. D. where they made
their home until November when
they came to Canton TO visit relatives
before leaving for Arizona, for the
benefit of Mrs. Christopher's health.
She remained at the Tucson Sana-
torium where every aid know to
human power was given her but
without benefit. The time had
come when "God Opened His Door
and Let Her In.''
She was lady of admirable charact-
er and loved by all who knew her.
Death came to this lovable lady on
April 18 and the rem aims were brought
home by her husband Tuesday even
The Services were conducted by
Rev. Tetlie on Thursday morning at
her Uncles home and at the Luthe-
ran church where many relatives and
friends were gathered to show their
tribute to the sorrowing husband.
Her last earthly resting place was a
bed of roses and sweet flower tributes
of loving friends. She leaves to
mourn her loss a husband and a
father.
She was laid to rest In the Trefold-
ighed cemetery east of Moe.

A travelling salesman named Jur-
seth and Enird Hagen, local fisher
man up at Battle Lake, Mimi, went
spearing fish in a creek last week.
The fish were plentiful and the travel
ing man became unduly excited, and
seeing |. shopping big fish, made a
jab at him. but unfortunately hit his
com panion on the ankle, the spear
going to the bone. Hagen let. out q
howl that could be heard in three
states and the knight OF the grip
tainted and the, big fish almost got
him when he Topped over into the
water. And Hagen says that the
next time he goes spearing fish with a
fool drummer he will stay at home.
