The Disc Harrow.

One of the best farm tools ever invented is the disc harrow. But few farmers seem to know that the best use for this harrow is on corn and cotton fields be- fore the blowing. Use the disc harrow to cut the stalks (don't burn them), and make mulch to consume moisture. The weed seeds will germinate and then after five or six days go on with the blow and you will kill millions of weeds and the plow- ing will be easier and the seed bed will be far better. and such a field will hold moisture better and work easier all summer. Try it, even if it is late. It will save time. Try it for a part of a field to be put to corn or cotton.
