DiSCing Land Before Flowing

The discing of stalk or stubble
land before plowing is one of the
most important practices in the
handling of soils The recent droughts
have emphasized its importance.
Each year larger numbers of farm
ers are following this practice which
has been recommended and used by
the Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment station. The discing of land
before plowing is one of the things
which all farmers, but particularly
those located on high priced corn
belt land should practice. Some
men have found it profitable to disc
blue grass sod, but the practice has
its greatest advantage when applied
to stalk and stubble land
The soil will absorb more water
when il is disced before plowing.
This has been very important
point in recent years when the soil
has been rarely soaked with water.
The more water stored in the soil,
when the crops are put in, the larg-
er will be the return if the season
is dry. The thoro mixing of the
stalks, stubble and other surface or
ganic matter with The soil. which
results from the discine. is very ad-
vantageous. On stalk land particu-
larly the weighted disc takes the
place of the stalk cutter and this at
the same time thoroly mixes the
organic matter with the soil A
