S tri hiing, Pexdletoa, 6. C. Plow Deep With Big Plows. We have been taking observations and practicing . deep plowing many years and bavo our mind made ap on thia question. Weare now determined not to rent an aero of land to no one unless at least two horses are need in preparing tho laud for planting. I have in mind a piece of poor hind that boa been rented for 12 y cara to one-mulo skimmers that have plowed, thieland only from two to four inches deep. Terraces did not keep the soil from disappearing. ; It took about four acres to moko a halo of cotton.. Alter the cotton was off. thia land was awned '?s 4eep as three b> *vy horses could palina reversaba ?/i<.\ *olow, and followed with subsoil ?r?p as two mules could pail it ia bottom of the furrow. A neighbor passing by said we were killing the land, (the land'was dead already), and from tho looks of tho crops this year we might have lull ed tu? land Vas dead as Hector" and it rotted? making good manure, as the crop of oats were fine and pea vines that followed , the oats : grew waist high; We are now- 206*?. of September-, mewing a tine crop of vines. Y?s oans?? piow weil drained or rolling clay lands too deep in fall, or early winter. Where we have taken charge of worn clay lands, we have' torn down ali terrace banke and plow ed the land from ZS to 17 inches deep and our crops a$e double one-horse renters' crops joining Our deep plowed land. Deep plowed lends without ter racing do not wash like shallow plowed lands well terraced. Some good writers:-have', argued that pea stubble- should not be turned, bat glowed with narrow plows. , Now .one i&d with.': thr?e or tour horans can plow about three times o, much land and do it better than one or two horses, to narro w nlowe. Our days of-piddling along breaking land with uarrow plows are done. We eandot afford to put a 75 centsOr $1.00 band behind, a.three or foiir inch plow; we must arrange things co that a dollar hand will break a farrow twelve inches deep, and plow; ont ay whole row at a timb ra cultiva ting erops> or the dollar , e. day band wilt coon owu the land, and the land owner of today will be. driving im nrnc-R(l plO"'o fo? a iuvro progressive, larmer bet?r?) many years pass by. :9s If yon Waut more land go down and get it; don's spread out after itl It costs lees taxes and dees - money per acre to go down alter mer0acr?a? ?pu the cost in cultivation in -future ia not more than one-third as much per acre. You must keep up with the front Of this progressive march of VheA ageor you will drop out of ranka. It is calculated by good, authority that the ' first--.twelve inches of good clay land contains over three hnri4?ed dollars .worth of mineral fertilisers per : acre if put in available form for crops. Doep plowing.in ffcll will allow the action of frost, air and rains to make ifeii inert 'er?i??z?r ?vai??o?e f^r next year'? crop. It ia not hard to prove this theory to bo true; try it Or go and see the ??nd where others .have put th* test ?,6 lt in a practical woy. ; Go down into the bowels of the earth by deep plowing and get mois ture for your crops; you need not lay all the blame on providence for not sending moisture; down On your crops from above whon providence haa'pro-* vided a way for you to receive it worn below? and also a way to sto.ro more rain water by deeper plowing. Biit What is the lise? Strive as you may to make profitable crops, if yon continue: the rule of al lowing the n?n-producer the privilege of pricing your products, the producer wilt gain butlUtle.hy producing cheap, if he Sells Jiis producta at or near cost. Many of tba cotton growers -pf the South for y ears.have lost inore by not: selling their cotton right? than they bave gained by producing ..their- crops right.
