FARMER’S COLUMN.
OUR SLOGAN: BETTER FARMING.
WHY PLOW DEEP?
In our last we sMd as one of
the things we would advocate,
plow deep. But first let me say
that this deep plowing presup
poses certain conditions.
might or might not be benefi
cial to plow very deeply a soil
with little humus and that had
been only “scratched, Add
all the vegetable matter of
whatever kind you can, and
then plow as deep as the exist
ing soil will permit and each
year plow a little deeper; always
turning under all vegetable mat
ter possible and as often as
practicable grow cow peas nitro- or
some other legume as a
gen gatherer. In this way we
secure the very best conditions
of heat and moisture that are
so necessary for making avail
able the fertility either natural
or applied of our soil. If I were
a scientist I might attempt to
tell how that some of this fer
tility is made available by chem
ical changes going on in the
soil, and more perhaps by count
less numbers of living multiply
ing germs or bacteria but all de
pendens on a deep humus filled
soil with its attendant moisture
and heat. I venture not far in
the domain of science lest I get
beyond my depth. But the
housewife may not know that it
is living germs that makes her
yeast, but she well knows that
unless she provides certain con
ditions her “bread is all dough.”
So we need not stop to consider
that it is because we furnish a 5
suitable base for the growth of
bacteria, that they in turn may f
make available the plant food
for the growing crops that we
plow deep and “knead” the soil
with harrows and other pulver
izers. if we plow deep, have
plenty of humus and pulverize
well our “bread will rise” and
what matters it if it be due to
bacteria, to heat and moisture
or to rich soil.
Deepen your soil by intelli
gent methods and nature will
respond with more than usurer's
interest. Let’s stop butchering
our boil. Deepen it and we will
havoY.noisture when the drouth
comes. Deepen it and we can
stand a heavier flood without
having the terrible gullies torn
through it. Deepen your soil.
Startling Mortality.
Statistics show startling mor
tality, from appendicitis and pe
ritonitis. To prevent and cure
these awful diseases, there is just
one reliable remedy, Dr. King’s
New Life Pills. M. Flannery, of
14 Custom House Place, Chicago,
says: ( t r They have no equal for
constipation and biliousness. ! I
