Don't Burn the straw.

Thousands OF farmers in Oklahoma

DEEPER rlowING NECESSARY
Nv +. d. NICHOLS

by r y. NICHOLS
Field Editor OF oklahoma Farmer
Better Tillage Methods are needed
on most OF the farms in o&lahom0.
There is special need for the prop
er deepening Of the plowing as this
will make additional plant food avail
able Along with this deep plowing
should come more cultivation for
the titled crops. and especially Is this
needed with corn.
IL Is not possihlue TO do good
job OF plowing unless plenty OF power
IS available. Many Of the farmers o.
Oklahoma have solved the power
problem by the use OF the tractors
and this is usually a satisfactory so
luton, too. II the plowing is done
with animals. as most OF this work
will be done in this state for several
years yet. additional power can be
provided by an increase in the weight
and number OF draft animals. One
cannot expect to do the best job OF
plowing with but two skinny mules
hitched 10 a walking plow; because
the power is not available.
Deepen the pillow gradually Do
not increase IL more than an inch or
two each year Il is best to do this
deeper plowing only in the fall or in
the winter-it is not wise to bring
much raw subsoil to the TOP when
the spring plowing IS in progress.
And one OF the big needs OF this
state, by the way. is a great deal
more attention TO the fall plowiug.
II the land is plowed at this time
the elements have a better chance ia
act on II, and IL will contain more
available plant food and moisture in
the spring than If the plowing had
been delayed until March. These will
help to increase the yield.
Perhaps the most important need
in corn growing Is more attention tC

pasture. The very young calf had bet
ter be kept in dry lot or on pasture
which is so short that it can not get
enough to cause trouble.
Fall calves usually make the largest
yearlings at the least cost, because
they are ready to go to pasture in the
spring and make good use of it dur
ing the summer. At the prices COM
monty used, pasture is about the
cheapest feed. Shade should be pro-
vided to protect calves in very hot
weather.
Water. After calves are one month
of age they should have access to pure
water. The water supplied should not
be too cold and should be slightly
warmed in winter. Where e. minimum
amount of milk is fed or where calves
are realised on substitutes for milk,
the amount of water should be limited,
to young calves, because under such
circumstances they frequently drink
too much. Apparently this is an at
tempt by nature to make up for the
shortage of milk.
It is we'll to supply the calf with a
little salt. This is more important
after the milk is discontinued. Milk
contains the various minerals in suf-
ficinet quantities for the very young
calf; hence, the salt is not so essential
while plenty of milk is fed
1t is best to avoid any sudden and
radical changes in the ration. Make
changes gradually and watch the calf
closely. Dairy calves need not be
kept fat but should be kept in good
condition. A daily gain of
8 to 1 pound for Jersey and Guerr-
sey and 1 to IA pounds for Holstein-
Friesian calves is about what may
be expected under fairly good feeding
and care. Greater gains may be OBJ
tained by more liberal feeding.
