MANY REASONS FOR HARROW
Besides Making Up Lumps, Allowing
Seeds to terminate II Increases
Feeding Area of Roots.

Some farmers are content with one
or two harrowings. or merely enough
to break up the largest humps and en-
able the seeds to terminate. But that
is no enough. We harrow to increase
the feeding area of the roots all
through the season by giving them
finely divided soil in which to spread.
We harrow to put the soil in the best
possible condition to catch and hold
the rains. We harrow to warm the
soil. to aerate 1t and to promote the
activity OF the germ life that is so es.
sential to its fertility. This means
that the ground should be gone over
more than is necessary to merely
break up the Jumps so that the seeds
will terminate. II means narrowing
and cross-harrowing. three times. four
times. six times, II necessary; or until
all of the upper four CT five inches Of
soil upturned by the pillow has been
made as nearly like an onion bed in
mellowness as the texture of the soil
will permit.
IL does not pay to skimp harrow
ing In the rush Of the busiest season
of the farmers busy year. A farmer
once told me that every time he went
over a certain piece of land with his
cutaway harrow, in preparing 1t with
corn. he received more than seventy.

Orchard and Garden

ideal, and rough rock wall fronting
the ocean would serve splendidly to
protect the garden, and the stones could
be covered on both sides. Muehlen-
beckia complexa, the wire vine from
New Zealand, could be grown on the
ocean side, right next to the wave
washed sands, and in short while
would so cover and bind the rocks to-
gether as to make permanent protec-
ton. On the seawall in its native
country this vine flourishes right in the
ocean spray.
It would be preferable to have this
wall widest at bottom and batter or
slope from each side to narrow top.
If core Of good soil could be provided
and flat or broken rocks "rip-rapped +"
up the sides success would be assured.
On the inside of the wall could be plant
ed, with assurance Of vigorous growth
so many sorts of plants that no attempt
will here be made to specify. Care
should be taken in watering until the
plants are firmly established or the soil
will be washed away. A light but very
frequent spraying should be the pro-
gramme. While building, the soill
should be kept rather wet and packed,
and after each watering look over the
wall and fill all chinks and cracks
whara soil has washed aYay or settled
from surface. The common cobbles or
boulders are the very poorest Of all
material for such work. Quarrieid or
slab stone is best, and if it is soft and
porous so it will hold water and grow
messy the effect will be much more
pleasing than with hard impervious rock
More of this class of work would add q
pleasing variety to many local gardens.
