If the soil is already little dry and
a crop is to be put on at once then
the harrow should follow the pillow
closely, otherwise the soil will become
lmupy and the whole furrow slice may
become too dry for the best germina-
ton.
II the blowing is for corn, potatoes
or the garden and is done some time
before. the ground y to be- planted
then the surface Is better left as it
would be for fall blowing, provided
the soil is in good condition when
plowed, because It will form better
mulch, it will take the rains better,
be less likely to become too much
compacted by the rains and will har-
row down better when planting time
comes.
On soils which are naturally mel
low, where large areas are to be
crowded il is often best to plow for
corn late in the fall, just before freez-
ing. If such ground is to be manur-
ed it can be piowed in then to advan-
tage or if the manure is not too
coarse it may be applied as surface
dressing during the winter and disk
ed in the spring. If the soils are very
heavy and have tendency to run to-
gether with the spring rains then
there is danger that the disc may not
be able to bring the field into condi-
ton.
There are two methods of blowing
sod, LIST, skim blowing, usually in the
fall, turning over a thin sod to kill
the turf, expecting to cross pillow in
the spring deep enough to bury the
sod and soil to work up fine and form
the seed bed. I'd. Flowing deep
enough at first to provide sufficient
soil to work up with a disc harrow
and give the desired depth of seed
bed The latter method usually re-
quires less time but the draft is
heavier 1t is usually best in such
cases to go over the surface with a
heavy roller to press the sod home
and lessen the danger of the disc
turning them over.
If manure is coarse or the soil is
light it is usually better to place it
under a deep furrow because it needs
more moisture to rot it and in heavy
soils it will let the air penetrate more
deeply into the soil. In such cases it
is better to do the blowing in the fall
or as early in the spring as the soil
will permit. If the ground is little
too dry when plowed and seeding
time is at hand the field should be
thoroughly narrowed and firmed, US
ing the heavy roller if necessary in
order to establish good capillary con-
nection with the deeper soil. If this
is not done the soil above is liable to
become too dry.
When the manure is well rotten it
may be left nearer the surface to adj
vantage, except in the sandy soils
where the air penetrates so deeply as
to cause too rapid decomposition of.
the manure.
