In Preparing Seed Beds Get Rid
of Numerous Air Spaces in Soil

Two general methods Of preparing
the seed bed on dry land are in
vogue-One by blowing. the other By
'disl1ing. one occasionally finds other
methods. such as listing, but not COM
monty. For more often we find A
seed bed with absolutely no prepara-
ton at all and this is surely not good
farming where deep tillage is so es-
sential. In preparing the seed bed
with the plOW We must consider the
depth and the time to pillow. The
depth Of blowing depends on the type
OF soil, the previous tillage. the crop
10 be grown. the time the blowing IS
done, the amount of water in the SOIL
and the prevailing climatic condi
tiOns When done shortly before
seeding especially III our dry regions,
the blowing should ne shallow. unless
the furrOw slice is sufficiently moist
TO permit OF packing and plenty Of
help is available to pack the furrow
slice.
From observations during two ex-
tremely dry years ] would say that
more crops are lost from a loose.
lack OF cultivation. 1t is absolutely
essential in dry land that the seed
bed be firm. A loose seed bed dries
out unless Opportune rains keep il
moist II it dries the crop suffers
and the younger the crop and the
deeper the loose seed bed extends the
greater the extent Of injury. When
ever the soil is plOwed, numerous air
spaces are found I'm the furrOw slice
where clOds. weeds or litter are turn
ed under writes w. w. Burr in Den
yer Field and Farm. We must get
rid OF these air spaces by firming the
soil. for otherwise the movement III
air through these large open spaces
will very rapidly dry out the soil.
Aside from the larger open spaces

be more economically constructed
than either of the other designs. Ex-
cavations are expensive to make and
difficult TO insulate and drain proper
~. Insulation and drainage are two
of the most important factors in the
preservation of ice. 1t is true that
the temperature of the earth varies
less than that of the air, but the fact
that the temperature of the earth six
CT eight feet below the surface re-
mains at or about 90 degrees Fahren-
heit the year round makes it quite as
important to protect the stored ice
against the earth heat as against the
heated air. IL is more difficult TO re-
move ice as needed during the sea-
son from pits than from structures
above ground. Slight advantages are
apparent at harvest time in favor Of
the cellar or the half-sunken types OF
house. and under some circumstances
they are to be preferred TO the other
type.

ABOVE GROUND ICE HOUSE
BETTER THAN CELLAR TYPE

Since ice at best is highly perish
able product requiring special equip

who wishes 10 locate an ice house
should take advantage OF such natu-

and exposure. shady situation with
a northern exposure has a decided ad-

three types.

of the fact that the bird census
which has been undertaken by

has shown that a portion of
w ashington-the Chevy Chase
district, is the most thickly pop
ulated district for birds IN the
United States. The average was
found to be about seven biz d ,
per acre. 1t may be surprising
to learn that timberland supports
much smaller bird population
than an equal area of farm land
In the bulletins issued by the
bird counters of the government
no special reference is made to
the golf course of Chevy Chase.
