Stopping And Preventing
washing.
We have often recommenbecl leaving
unplowed strips run on a level through
cultivated land at the usual distance
apart of hillside ditches as a means of
preventing washing. The longer we
have tried it the better we are pleased
with the plan,A modification of it which
economizes land is after flushing a field
broadcast to lay off narrow lands say 10
or 12 feet wide on a level and sow them
clo*vn in either oats, grass or clover. As
the rows will be run by these strips there
will he no turning on them and conse
quently no injury to oats or grass. These
strips soon become so filled with roots
and vegetable growth as to stop all
•washing of consequence. They also form
conveneient wagon ways for hauling cot
;6w*during picking season,
tig tc/bere gullies already exist they can
be readily filled provided the row's are
run on a level so as to discharge no wa
ter into them. Plow the borders and
edges, but not the bottoms, of the gulley
so that some loose dirt may be present
to wash down gradually into the bottom
This done, weeds, grass etc, wiil soon
spring up and bold all the dirt wnich
fills into them.
SprsMgOats,
The early sown the better. At this
seasson it is well to cover thi seed toler
able deep to guard against freezes. An
other point which should never be for
gotten is that the shorter the time a crop
bad to grow and mature in the more free
ly it should be sup ply ed with food. The
later oats are sown the more heavily they
should be manured. Gotten seed and a
little phosphate or a little cotton seed
alono is excellent for this crop—2o to 50,
or more bushels per acre. We know of
no better use that can be made of cotton
seed than to apply t hem to oats for be it
know’ll that it the oats fail it will be
known by the middle of June, and the
land can be utilized at once in a late corn
or pea crop or in sweet potatoes or mil
lit. Sow r down largely your hard run
cotton fields—they need badly tli rest
accumulation an oat crop would
give and they need the stopping of wash
es begun here and there.
Harrowing'drain iia Spring’.
This is growing in popular favor, It is
equivalent to a working—stirs the soil
and kills the young weeds which arc
ready to spring fonvard and dispute pos
sessions of the ground with the grain
crop. It should be done with a light bar
row with teeth sloping backwards select
ing a time when the ground is in good
plowing order. r I lie first harrowing must
he given as soon as a distinct spring
growth commenced and one or aftei
wards at intervals ot 10 days or two
weeks. At first one who had never tried
it before would think he bad ruined bis
grain but it soon straightens up again
and grows all the faster. If a top-dress
ing is to be given broadcast it before
harrowing 72 pounds, nitrate soda per
acre will greatly improve a crop.
Depth to Fist Manure
This depends on nature of manure
and nature of soil. It the former is al
rerdv in condition to he absorbed by
plants requiring no further decomposition
or change—as the ease with commeicia
fertililers —it may be placed within an
inch of the depth to wcich the soil is
broken especially if the soil is stiff and
not lead y. If, however, the manure is
corse and only partially decayed and re
quires the action of air to make it avail
able then the nearer the surface it can
be placed without evaporation the bet
ter especially if the soil is loose and san
dv and the ten loncy of manure to sink
in it. In our dry climate other things be
ing equal the deeper manure is put the
better.
