Seeding Helps Make the Crops Secure
After the seed bed is in a condi-
ton satisfactory for the proper de-
yelopment Of the seed, the next i'm
portant step is to be sure that the
seed is sown right. It is only within
recent years. that definite, decisive
tests have been made between SOW
ing with the drill and sowing broad
cast, but so one-sided have become
the various tests in regard to these
two methods that broadcasting is
fast being numbered among the
many old methods which the franz
ers are now discarding. Broadcast
ing requires more seed, and yet II
produces a smaller crop of low grade
grain. The reason for this is that
the seed thus sown is not distributed
evenly over the ground. 1t does not
all start from an even depth, nor
does II begin terminating uniformly.
BY the use of an ordinary drill. ev-
en- without the more modern attach
ments, the seed is deposited in fine
slightly compact, moist soil. all of it
at uniform depth. 1t is thus care
fully covered by the cover chains or
press wheels, it all has an even op-
portupity of terminating. and all the
grain will tend to ripen at the same
time.
Proper discing and proper sowing
are the best ways to help nature give
a good crop. There is very little
more expense to doing it right than
to doing it wrong. And, the returns
are much greater.
The hand writing on the wall Is
plainly visible and we should pre-
pare ourselves to meet the crisis be-
fore the crisis meets us
It means much and yet, all that
we can do is to do all that we can
with the exercise Of care and thrift.
Our work begins this fall in our
plowing and seeding and our oppor-
tunity to help viii come next year
at our harvesting and selling. We
have more at stake than our profits
although our profits will be good
stake We have at stake our COM
mercial supremacy, our agricultural
leadership. and above this, towering
over everything and stifling our sell
fish hope of gain. or our commercial
instincts, is our ability and our will
lingness to fill the pitiful hands
which we know will be stretched to
us from across the devastated and
wasted fields across the seas.

way that the plant fails to develop.
Nature has provided for this inter-
mixture Of elements for limited
time and plant life will go on with
out much outside interference, but,
ike so many other forms Of natural
activity, it Is possible for human IN
telligence to greatly increase the eff
'ectiveness OF natures work. The
disc harrow is one of the leading
nature aiders in farming. It Is said
that rightly used It has done more
o increase crop profits than any
,ther farm implement and should be
ised on every farm. Il is one Of the
simplest implements made: one OF
the easiest to obtain; simple to run;
will stand much hard work, and Will
last a long time. 1t is so Inexpensive
that II used on a fair sized field,
1t will so increase the production
that 1t soon pays for itself. In GER
tain parts OF the United States,
farm without disc or two is as
curious sight as farm without a
wagon, but in other parts, it is still
on the threshold OF universal use.
f. H. DeMaree. acting Agronomist
at the Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station. says:
"In my opinion and that Of every
body connected with the crop and
soil work in this institution, the
disc harrow is one of the best imple-
ments which can be used on any
farm. In early plowed land and in
fall plowed land there is generally a
crust and many clods form before
corn planting time. One of the best
instruments which we have found so
far for pulverizing these clods is the
disc harrow On sod land It is near.
ly impossible. to make a good seed
bed without the use of the disc.
ITO the bumper crop farmer, the
skilled agriculturists. so to speak.
plowing is merely the rough work
of getting ready to plant He puts
the finishing touches on with other
machines just as the sandpaper fol-
lows the work Of the plane in finish
ing woodwork.
Professor Daniel scoates, of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
of Mississippi, says. "The disc har-
rows special duty is to take the soil
after It has been plowed and put on
the finishing touches. The result OF
these touches act in many different
ways under as many circumstances.
If the land receives a heavy rainfall
the disc will allow the land to take
up larger quantities of water than
could be obtained under the former
condition. Then the absorption of
this water has not only the benefit
of storing up moisture for the flu
ture use of the plants. but by allow
ing the water to soak into the ground
1t prevents, to certain extent. the
surface washing of the land. Fur
ther. the disclng of the surface will
gre still another advantage in that
it forms a mulch which breaks up
the effect of what is known as cap
Hilary, thus causing the rapid evapor-
alton to cease and saving up the mois
ture stored in the soil"
