. 2 Agricultural " Fall Plowing and Subsoiling. c c Prof. W. F- Mrtssey iii Prngrop- ^ eive Farmer. ^ In the present sta'e of nearly ] all ol our liili lands something like a terrace is needed un'tl by , good practice the soil has got'en , iflore vegetable matter in it. Br.t I do know, Iro'.n my own exp'T iencc and from the experience of o'hers who have followed m\* advice, that terraces can bo p:o ! fitablydone ?wny with alter the 1-ind has go ten into a condition less liable to wash and is broken in the proper manner to retain the rainfall, and no for ows are made arourd the hills to catch and make a head ot water ot wa'er. 1 have worked r- d clay hills tha' were s ? steep 'hat 1 have had a team to slip dowt hill in miking a turnaround the hill, and yet never lia I a new cully started, but cured 'id milliei toat are now full ol grass, simply by making a d *ep b d ot l??ose soil to keep the water from running. What 1 h ?vo done can easily be done by others, and lias beon done bv sever ?1 farmers in Georgia. But the terraces cannoi be abandoned till the land i-. s^.<> fi<1?d with nr??o?in decay of grass roots that there is material to hold the ?soil together. The time to begin the deepening of the soil is in the fall. In the spring, while the surlace soil may be dry enough to plow 1 the sub-soil will be in a plastic state and will not crumble as it should. But in the tall the sub- ] soil is comparatively dry and l will break with J he sub soilor \ into lumps that will retain their | loose character for a good while. 1 Sub-soiling, ?>f course, requite*plenty of team. Our red cla\ <l hills should be broken with a \ plow that requires three good j' mules abreast, and in the same <! furrow* behind this plow will be \y needed a good pair to the sub- " sailer. If a regular sub-soil " plow is not at hand, a good hea vy bull tongue can be run in tlie y furrow alter the turning plow, but the tub suiler that simply runs like a molo through the sub soil and lifts and breaks it is far better. In the fir-t etfort " < at deepening a oil that has been plowed along t me only three or font; inches 1 would 'urn not ' over fi\e inches, and would ei - u deavor to run the tub-soil plow ^ the same depth in tlu> lurrovs. ' 1 hen the next tun<? turn six inch- ' es arid sub-soil the same, and J s do not believe that it will ever be desirable iH^-ub-soil and turn;'1 deeper th in filteen inches, but: we whould finally endeavor to '' reach that depth, turning eight ' inches and sub-soiling seven. ,S 1 ihe urea* objection to tall piuwiiiu is mm :iiere ra iv bo t] some loss of fertility through tinleaching of nitrates during our open winters. Hut this oljection can he overcome by how in? ' rye on the land to be turned under in the spring, or rvo and crimson clover too will ho better. I have had better stands of crim- R son clover sown the last of Oo- K tober than sown earlier in very a dry weather, for by that time wo ^ are pretty sure to have moisture f THE*lANO Department.! mough lor the germination, and >uce get tlie clover well started t will winter as well thoflgh argor. Therefore, in breaking and and sub soiling in the fall | [ would always tiy to have ai jover crop on the land during j be winter. Our bare cotl6nl fields lose almost as mucl?- in winder as iiT the summer cro^ inj;, and with a winter cover the j tendency t<> wash will he great . ly dim n sited. Then, too, whi n tliis cover crop is turned in ti e spring fur corn or cotton tl etei will be organic matter left in the ' soil, aud fibrous m'terial tl atll will s'il) heln to prevent washing ! I! onto giowth vvfts turned under every spring he'ore ph 11'ing a hoed crop there would be a great deal less washing even witlHlio tort aces lid the siiallow p'owine. Hut ^ I Know tint!' long experience in the cnltiva lion o red cap hills tha* ileep breaking and sub-soi: ngwithw n. tor cover ciops and level cul i-a-j lion in summer will do more to prev n? loss front washing tin n all terraces that were i-v r con i struoted.
