ground should be well titled before
planting. The method of prepar-
alton will depend upon the type and
condition of soil to be planted as
well as upon the labor available.
Most farmers, at this time of year,
are very busy with their other crops
and are compelled. for want of time
to get the catch crops in as cheaply
and as quickly as possible. An
other consideration is that the earl

etable matter is probably the best
practise. If a mOulbOard plow is
used, a disc harrow run over the
broken land, set straight or running
will firm back the soil and assist
materially in the retention of mois-
ture. A good practise is to follow
the binder with disc harrow, SET

is the best and quickest method of
retaing moisture and will assist in
keeping the land in such condition
A method followed successfully by
a great many farmers for row crops
Is to list the stubble land as soOl

planting the seeds down in the bot
tom of the lister furrow. This me-
thod will put the seed down in the
moist soil where they will germinate
more readily. The most important
thing in growing catch crops is get
