OF FALL FLOWING
Soil is Generally in Better Condition
Than in Spring-Weeds and
Insects Destroyed
(By J. L. Heirs, Louisiana Expert
ment Station.)

(By J. L. Heirs, Louisiana Expert
ment Station.)
The soil is generally in better
condition in the fall for blowing than
in the spring. Fall blowing gives a
better texture to the soil and causes
greater liberation Of plant food
due to the action Of the weather. By
turning the organic or vegetable
matter under earlier it has, of course
more time to rot and to become
thoroughly Incorporated with the
soil
Fall blowing causes many of the
weed seeds to germinatc, thereby de
creasing this pest the following
spring Many insects are turned to
the surface and killed oy The f.rs,s
The time for all blowing should be
largely matter of convenience. The
heavier soils can be safely plowed
first. Land with great deal of vege
table matter to be turned under
should be plowed early in order to
give this matter more time to rot.
In the spring there is always time for
the proper preparation of the soil,
especially where the crops are to be
planted early, so it is good farm
management to do a part Of this pre-
paration in the fall.
1t isn't always the best plan to
plow sandy lands in the fall unless
they are also seeded to cover crop,
otherwise there is apt to be much
loss from teaching and erosion. It is
much more important to cover crop
On sandy soils than on heavy soils,
especially if the land is not entirely
level.

WISE AND OTHERWISE

Never lend yourself to the borrow
ing of trouble.
Our idea of a plucky man is one
who refuses to be plucked.
You'll never find much cause for
gratitude unless you make some.
1t goes without saying that the less
said about something the better.
Few men are able to keep within
hailing distance of their good inten-
tons.
But it sometimes happens that the
light of truth casts the shadow of
suspicion.
Our idea of modest man is one
who can keep his opinion to himself
to himself
Many woman trusts her hus-
band because she doesn't know as
much IS size might.
There's at least one redeamine
feature about air eY0os; we don't
have TO pay taxes on them.
Many a man is in the bachelor
class today because the girl in the
case had been taught to say "No."
The easiest task business man is
ever called upon to perform is to in
duce an employee to accept an in
crease in salary.
