SHEEP ENRICH THIN SPOTS

One Farmers Experience In the Prof-Itableness of the Flock

of Sheep

Sheep aro not only conservers otfertility but distributors of It whoremost needed If given an opportunityThey are averse to water seekingelevations for their resting placo andthe low land of tbo pasture for thesucculent growth

W D Loyd gives his experience Inthe Farm and Homo as follows

1 turned a flock of sheep Into aclover field and they at once soughtout the spots where tho clover didnot catch and eagerly devoured theweeds or pigeon grass that had takenpossession of the open urmcea Thenthey Ate the weeds and succulent grassin low places and runs In the Heldleaving the clover on tho high landwhere most needed to enrich the soilAfter everything else In the fold had

THE CULTIVATION OF CORN

Experiments to Show the Most Effect < Iva and Economical

That system of corn cultivation Ismost effective and economical whichremoves weeds conserves moistureand aerates the soil eeya DoWlU CWing in Tho Improvement of CornJust Issued as ImlleUn No 133 by thePennsylvania department of agricul ¬

ter la undoubtedly tbo most Importantoffice of cultivation After rains It thosoil Is not stirred it bakes cracks formand moisture escapes rapidly If thesoil is stirred as soon after rains as Itncondtion permits tho surface crust can ¬

not form Capillarity is destroyed bythis operation and Instead of tho mols¬

turo evaporating through the soiltubes it Is retained for use by thethirsty plants Tho absence of weedstherefore is no excuse for the aban ¬

donment of cultivationTo prevent the formation of a hard

baked or crusted surface which condi ¬

tion facilitates tho rwcape of soil wa¬

ter Is tho vital function of tillageDeep and shallow culturo experi ¬

ments and tho experience of all observant corngrowers who have giventho subject of intelligent attention indi ¬

cate that for practically all soils adapted to corn surface cultivation bestserves tho purposes of tillage Differ-ences

¬

of from ten to twentyfive bushelsper acre in favor of shallow culture asagainst deep plowing of corn are notuncommon in the corn belt where thetwo systems of cultivation have beenthoroughly tested and compared underaverage conditions

Surface culture which means that theImplement used shall not disturb thesoil to a greater depth preferably lessthan four Inches below tho surfacestirs the soil without pruning or in ¬

juring the foraging or feeding roots ofthe plants and by forming a mulch onthe surface reduces very materially theevaporatlonotmolsture

While deep culture does not acceler ¬

ate the evaporation of moisture experlmenu show that If practiced withtho same regularity as shallow tillageIt conserves as much soil water as thelatter method In nearly all cosestheyield of corn grain from shallowtilledfolds have been appreciably In excessof those obtained under Identical soiland climatic conditions from deepplowed folds The difference generally Is attributed to tho fact that deep cul ¬

ture Injurea the roots of tho plantsACter the corn plants have attained

n height of 18 Inches or two fee tit hot olds from near the first six or eightInches of the surface soil contain a network of roots Those roots are so nu ¬

merous that nearly every square Inch
