county lawyers to have justices

The fact that the code says
the warrant may be made out to

the warrant may be written to

the first one that happens along.
The practice, they state, is a

PlOughed ~Summerfallow

Ii, for weed control, or any other
reason, ploughiEg of the fallow is ne
cessary, then stubble will be buried
and it cannot be used in the follow
ing spring as a protection OF the
soil. Cultivator ridges and clods are
then the only means available for
checking wind action When fallou IS
ploughed early, the amount of tillage
necessary to control weeds during
the summer is usually sufficient to
break down all clods. With the stub
BILE buried and the clods broken down
the prevention of drifting ON such a
.faIlow depends upon the type of till
age given in the following spring.
On light and medium lands the use
of the duck-fott cultivator or the
of the duck-foot cultivator or the
offers the best prospect of bringing
to the surface wet soil which will
bake into clods. 1t is important that
this work be done while moisture is
still within easy reach Of the surf
ace and that the clods be not broken
down by narrowing or packing either
before or after drilling.
PIowless FalIow
In recent years the ploughless fall
low has rapidly increased in favour.
The method is applicable en- all typ
es of soil. 1t is usually less, costly
then ploughing and where the weeds
lave been effectively controlled
yields have been at least equal to
those obtained on ploughed fallow.
The important points to be observed
in the ploughless fallow are; (a) Do
! not burn the stubble. This should be
retained at OF near the surface to
help prevent drifting. tb1 Whatever
implement is used sAeuld-camnletely
J destroy weed growth at each opera
tion. LII weeds are missed once, they
become so we'll established that
ploughing may finally be necessary
to destroy them (d) Deep tillage is
not advisable unless it is necessary
for weed, control; moreover, wire
/ worm control may be rendered more
difficult by deep tillage. For annual
weeds the most satisfactory method
OF procedure is to disc ene-Ma
disc soon after seeding time. Allow
the land to lie until a new growth of
weeds has appeared. If trash has
been sufficiently mixed with soil to
permit the cultivator to go through
without cIogging the c~ultivaator may
be used to destroy the weed growth.
