Of course w' rc i!n> sugar licet is thus bone Tilled other crops will reap sonic !> no fit also, and indeed tli re is a largo proportion of our soils which it would pay as we'I fnsiih soil, whether we grow sugar beets or other crops." The foregoing is from the pen of a writer in Farm and Fireside, who has the following to say concerning when to subsoil and the saving of soil moisture : There i* a right way and a wrong way of subsoiling. Several of the experiment stations have investigated the subject. In most cases subsoiling when done in the . fall has proved a decided benefit, ? especially on soils resting on a . hard and packed subsoil. The fall 3 and winter rains soak into the ? surface layer, six, eight or ten l inches deep, as the case mav bo, ] hut cannot enter the hard subsoil, so that the excess of water runs off the surface into ditches 5 and streams. Then when this surface moisture has evaporated 1 during a dry spell in spring or j summer there is no further supply to fall hack on, and the crops i must soon suffer. Suhsoiling deepens the natural water reservoir and allows the water otherwise allowed to run off to he ! stored up in the subsoil as a re| serve ready to he drawn on when J the rains fail us during the mow 1 ing season. A writer in otic of the exchanges sums up the Inference h> tween 1 ?uhsf)i!ing in tie- tall and doing it 'in spring, a- follows ** i I this sul?1 1 l . i i?t . . i -<ni i< s'i \ mi in* 111 n." ill 111?

The waste is ' not only by evaporation from the bare surface, but also by evaporation from the leaves of plants "out of place." The former is easily held within lowest possible limits by thorough, rather shallow cultivation (as has often been explained). The latter should be entirely prevented by preventing all wood growth and timely thinning. PLOOO POISON CURED. There is no ilouht, aeeon'.ing to the | many reiiiarhahh' ?"jro?
