CBv 0. NJ. OLsON)

(By O. NJ. OLSON)
The depth at which land should be
plowed depends much upon the sea
son of the year, the kind of soil and
the physical condition of the subsoil.
Fall blowing. except for fall-grown
grain. should invariably be deeper
than spring blowing, as there is more
time for il to become sufficiently set,
tied and compacted. Whenever land
Is piowed quite deeply, and the eli
matte conditions do not thoroughly
settle the burrows, It should be thor
oughly worked before IT. is planted
Heavy soils need to be plowed
deeper than the lighter types Of soils.
such soils usually have quite com
pact subsoils, and they are benefited
by being brought to the surface It
is also benefit 10 heavy soils to bury
the vegetable matter at good depth,
as this will assist in keeping the sub
soil from becoming too compact
Lighter soils are very much the
opposite. Their subsoils are usually
not too compact and it is better to
have the vegetable matter mixed with
the surface soil Deep blowing of
such soils has a tendency to make
them too loose, and care should be
taken to thoroughly compact them be-
fore they are planted to crops.
Flowing land continuously at the
same depth every time has a tendency
Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1915-04-24

to form a hard. compact layer in the
subsoil at that depth This is an I'M
desirable condition, and can usually
be avoided by varying the depth
slightly from year to year. New land,
when first brought under the plow,
should not be plowed too deeply
While it may be desirable to ultimate
ly have a furrow six or seven inches
in depth. it should be brought about
gradually, by plowing a halfinch or
so deeper every year
A method OF draining felds which
has proved satisfactory and inexpen-
sive, is ridging the land while plow-
ing.
The pillow is started in the middle
where two burrows are plowed against
each other BY turning the horses to
the right when making the turns at C
and D, the dead burrows will be To-
Gated at A and 3 and r and F. By
continuing this system a series of
years. the bitches are made deeper
year by year No ridge is formed on
the sides Of the ditch BY commenc-
ing to pillow in this way, and by vary
ing the back burrows one year a little
to the right of and d, and another
year a little to the left. the dead fur
rows will be made broad rather than
deep, making the fields gently undu-
late instead Of being cut up by deep
bitches and narrow high ridges.
