FALL FLOWING BETTER.
Broken, Ground Holds Snow and Abb
serbs Moisture.


Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 19.-Fall
blowing for corn, kafir, milo, and 9TH
err sorghums is urged by R. I. Throck-
morton. assistant professor in soils In
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
1t leaves a rough soil surface which
permits rapid absorption of mois-
ture, and snow is held more readily
than on q smooth surface.
Soil with a rough, broken surface IS
not SO likely to blow in the early
spring months as one which has be-
come smooth and compact.
1.-The action of the freezing and the
thawing on the clods during the win
ter months has a beneficial effect"
says Mr.. Throckmorton. They
and a desirable physical condition Of
the soil is thus produced"
Weathering of the soil also helps to
1iberate plant foods for the use of
crops in spring. Fields that have a
heavy growth of weeds or straw or
fodder should be plowed in the fall.
The organic matter turned under will
decay more rapidly during the winter
months because of the soil moisture
i then.
For land that is TO be planted in
corn the next year, deeper blowing is
recommended than for smaller grains.
Fall-plowed land is left without fur
Throckmorton advocates fall blowing
as an aid in the economical distribu
ton of farm labor.
Flowing under straw and all refuse
in the fall is desirable, says Mr..
Throckmorton. 1t helps to destroy the
harbor for chinch bugs. 1t also ex-
poses grasshopper eggs deposited in
the soil for winter protection, and
binders the next years propagation of
this pest.

There has not been a time in fifty
