Discing Corn Land Before
Breaking.
BY ]. C. Hackleman OF Missouri AgrlouIturs
Experiment Station, Columbia, No.


The Importance of good seed
bed for corn is not sufficiently
appreciated. A poor stand of
corn may be due to poor seed
bed as well as to inferior seed or
other causes. Briefly, the sort
OF seed bed which is desirable for
corn is one which is loosened
deeply, from 8 to s inches, but
which is well settled together be-
low with q mellow and we'll pull
verized surface.
One of the best ways to begin
the preparation OF such a seed
bed lie with a disc harrow before
plowing. This is particularly true
of stalk land, while the weighted
disc will not only Gu! the stalks
so they may be turned under, but
it will also pulverize the surface
SO that when the soil is inverted,
the organic matter which is thor
oughly mixed with the soil will
not delay the reestablishment OF
capillarity.
The discing of stubble land 10
also important. Such discing
will make the plowing at least a
half horse easier and will provide
for much more rapid decay of the
stubble. Many men are coming
to believe that the same can be
said of sod land. Naturally much
depends upon the season for the
best time for doing this. Fail
discing or early winter discing on
stalk land is usually preferable.
Spring discing, however, is much
more common and is preferable
on stubble land.
With the present late spring,
many men who have not already
disced their corn land will fail to
do it. OF course, no absolute
rule can be laid down regarding
this, but If dry weather should
follow the present wet period, the
man who takes time to disc his
corn land before plowing will sur
ely be a gamer, as the soil will be
prevented from becoming so COM
pact and hard and will work up
into a much better seed bed and
the moisture conserved by such
preparation may benseded before
corn is mature.

The Supply of Organic Mat
ter In The Soil.


psFhseut otAttoni SOluHOihi no,
The most fundamental caus Sc
OF decreased soil productivefrsss
in Missouri Is the gradual depla-
ton of the organic matter. A
good supply of organic matter in
the soil is necessary. first to keep
the soil loose and friable, second
to maintain the supply of nitro
gen, and third. to make availa BILE
the mineral plant foods through
its decay. Commercial fertilizers
will for a, time, bring remunera-
tive results on worn land, even
when the organic matter of the
soil is not maintained, but the
continued profitable use OF com.
mercial fertilizers on most soils
is dependent upon the mainten-
anoe OF the supply Of organic
matter.
The growing of grain crops is
the most important cause of the
depleted supply of organic mat.
ter in our soils. Organic matter
cannot be maintainednnder grain
farming, unless larger amounts
of manure are added to the soil
than can be made by feeding the
grain crops. Where a man can
not buy manure, as Is usually the
case, it IL necessary, therefore to
alternate grain crops with organ
10 matter building crops, such as
clover and cowpeas, either feed
ing ell lof these back or turning
a part Of them under.
Thus far, we have lived largely
upon the virgin fertility of our
soils. From this time forth, We
must learn to increase soil pro-
ductiveness and maintaining of
organic matter ia.th- first princi.
