America has taken oath that not until

1t is because of the millions and mil

ening such compact surfaces as early
as possible. Whether blowing is nee
essary, however, depends very much
upon the type Of soil. Most heavy clay
soils are best put in proper condition
by blowing. Sandy or light loan soils
should not be plowed in the fall and
left bare during the winter in regions
where soil blowing is likely to occur.
If however it becomes advisable 10
pillow such soils in the fall, blowing of
the plowed area may be checked by
top dressing with barnyard manure.
Deep blowing should always be done
in the fall or very early in the spring
to allow more moisture to penetrate
and the soil to settle before planting
time.
On sloping land the blowing, listing
and cultivating should follow ON level
along the slopes or around the hills.
The moisture saved makes this
profitable practice, and very often the
prevention Of runOff is necessary to
avoid erosion, with the loss of the
richest portions Of the soil.
Alfalfa land to be prepared for corn
should be fallowed one year or plowed
early the previous summer.
Growing plants draw large quanti-
ties of water from the soil and sub
soil. All growth of weeds and volun-
teer grain on land to be planted to
corn should be prevented
Deep blowing and subsoiling should
be done in the fall rather than at
corn planting time. Soil put in the
right condition to take In moisture to
a considerable depth is also open to
the air and dries out rapidly. If nee.
essary to plow in the spring for corn
the blowing should be done early and
should not be deep, and the ground
should be packed Immediately. Plow-
ing under several inches of snow is an
and sometimes practicable
way of getting moisture into the
ground.

The soil should be well prepared be-

and one should never fail to have the
ground loosened deep for pear trees, as
their roots grow downward more than
any other kinds of trees and often die
because of shallow holes.
When the trees are planted their tops
should be cut OFF about One-third the
way down. This helps the roots to take
