Spring Plowimg is
Good, Hard Sense

Jobs0n System Seems to Do Away
with Old TroubIe-Gains 3 Days
On Wet Land and Puts it In As
Good Shape AS Last Fall Plow-
ing.
Now that the spring blowing season
is on, nearly everybody sees a whole
lot of trouble ahead that they hadn't
thought Of since this time last year,
and nearly everybody wishes they had
gone over their land and given it as
much deep blowing last fall as it
needed.
The fact is, spring blowing is a
serious proposition at best; for the
ground has more water in it at this
time of the year, and the deeper you
go with pillow the Wetter it is. So
you are cup against it, as the say
ing is; for if you pillow shallow you'll
make third less crop, and if you
pillow deep you may get into this wet
subsoil and pull it up on top to clod
and bake until your field will be
simply ruined.
It's just this situation, which has
occurred year in and year out since
pAOW1I1S Wcl0 IIFC1lCCu, CudJ has CduSGQ
the JObsOn System or deep blowing
to attract SO much attention all over
the country. By the action of the
remarkable, but extremely practical,
JobsoE Plow the top soil is turned
and left on top and the bottom soil
taurned on the bottom, thus prevent
ing the baking and impoverishment
of the top layer and, as many promi-
nent agriculturists and practical
farmers claim, completely solving the
spring blowing problem. They say
it not only sets the farmer free to
pioW deep any time of the year, but
that land can be plowed from one to
three days earlier CATER wet
weather. by the Jobson System than
by any other method.
A most interesting booklet has
just been written on this subject by
Major Jno. w. Norwood. 1t is en-
titled 'The Common Sense of Deep
Flowing and Greater Profits on the
Farm, and will be sent to any
reader of The Jeffersonian requesting
it. An application on a penny post
card TO the Jobson Plow Co., Box
672, Atlanta, Ga, will bring it to
you. 1t has more good, hard COM
mon sense about farming in it than
anything we've seen in long time,
and every farmer ought to take time
to send for One.-AdVt.
