results. The elements of plant food which feed the crop will re- spond if the sun, air, rainfall and other clements are permitted to thoroughly penetrate and act upon the soil.
 We readily admit that all lard should be broken in the fall or early in the winter; we should therefore believe that much good is to bt gotten by breaking the land in the spring if we do not have time t break it in the fall. Land should be broken before planting and we Ire negleeting the first important step toward success if we do not break the land. All of US have been familiar with the practice of burning stalks. grass and weeds of the field, then streaking off the land. bedding on the ltt'e furroW and throwing out the middles, all in order to save breaking. Some times it would appear<that there was not sufficient time to break land before planting.
 It does not matter how late the season is or may be, or how crowd ed, or how little there is left before the regular planting time, there is alway time enough to properly prepare the land for crop. Ii the crop is worth our time and at tention it is worth our best efforts. If not we had best plant another crop. And when we do take time to break the land and properly pre- pare it, we will find a way to use the stalks and grass in the field to supply organic matter to hungry soils. Our soils must have their organic matter. If 1t is not put in- to the soil in the way of stalks and winter cover crops, we will ln time be compelled to rest the land for year or two while we may grow and turn under clover, peas, etc.
 We should therefore turn all the vegetable matter under that is available and we will have to break the land in order to get the rubbish out of the way. At this time of course it is necessary that the stalks be cut so they will not tear out the young plants before they have completely rotted. If you do not own a stalk cutter, borrow one.
 Breaking the land will be of ad- vantage to you because of the fer tlizing value of the material turned under; because you will put the land in good tilth and give good seed bed; because you have begun to fight the trough next summer by holding water now: because you will make more plant food in the soil available for the use of your plants. and because human experi- ence has proven that thorough preparation Of the seed bed IS one of the most important steps in successful agriculture.
