T)osslble. Kvery observant farmer ha>T
noted that seeds germinate more
quickly that plants grow more rapid
ly on Tall-breaking than on spring
breaking. Fall-plpwing qpndcrs more
plant food ready for use, while the
-preparation of- the land in ttaefait:
saves work ip the spring, when every
thing on the farm is crowding- A eov
er crop is a net gain. It keeps the j
soil from " washing. It utilizes' the i
plant food that otherwise might ?s- 1
capo into the air. and It adds humus. '
The soil is improved by the crop, aud .
winter grazing Is provided. In plow
ed land properly handled the loss of J
plant food is less than In unplowed I
land: more plant food may be pro- 1
duced aud more can be stored. In |
case a cover crop Is used tho loss of
ptmrt food Is slight.
An objection is sometimes urged
that tall-plowed soil saturated with
water during the winter and remains
wetter and colder later In the spring ,
than land Jeft unbroken In the fall.
This Is true only upon land not suf
ficiently drained and where the1
breaking Is shkllow. Water passes !
through deep (freaking readily, and I
with reasonable Wainage It is ready,
for planting earlier than lands brok
en in the spring.
With deep breaking and an abun
dance of, humus it will be possible to
flifiMMirfT with miiijv frrrnrri Jtml yft
have no washing of ihe soil. Terraces
are seldom required on the steepest
hillsides of the North.' Deep freezing
opens the soil for the absorption of
the rain.
. When land is nearly level, with a
stiff subsoil, it should be flatbrokpiv
but left in ridges or narrow lands!
about o or 6 feet wide, suitabje for'
-ItlamiiiK. ?ltl: a dt'ad fmnm between
them. This provides winter drain
age and keeps the pulverized soil out
nf the water, which is important even
if unbroken. ^ ??
IKoepcniim Hip Soli. u
TUc "advice to go down gradually"
Is -given solely because the Inexpert,
enced farmer may -try to plow too
deeply for the first time and bring to
the surface too much of the ?subsoil.
The best plan Is to use the disk plow,
?o set that it will not bring the sub
soil to the surface. Generally it may
be sent down S. 10 or 12 Inches with
impunity, and. . if done In the fall,
with slight addition to the cost of
Shallower' breaking. Double plowing
?that is, to break at the usual depth
and then follow III fhe-same furrow
with a narrower plow or scooter and
go down as deep as desired ? is bet-r
ter than shallow plowing, though a
little more expensive plan than the
use of a disk plow, and not so effect
ive. Many trials made on a great vat
plowing 10 inches deep with a dtsk
plow is on an average about 50 cents
per acre more than ordinary break
ing. and in double plowing, as above
desrpttfed. the additional cost - aver
ages S1. .25 per acre. The costs are
somewhat less when a 10-Inch depth
of plowing has become the rule upon
a given field. There is no question
that -breaking and pulverizing to a
depth of SMo 10 or 12 inches and
adding plenty-. of hiimtts-b economic
cal.- ?? Whether a plant has plenty of
time makes the difference between a
good crop and a poor crop.
Depth of Pjowlng.
The depth of plowing must be de
termined by the farmer himself. He
knows the conditions and is the best
Judge of the cost. In many sections,
jf done in the fall it undoubtedly
nays to subsoil 15 or 20 Inches. This
,has been proved by some of the best
farmers and experimenters In the
voriu. some subsoils in humid cli
mates li.iu1 ? Imn mum SO nose an*
compart by the abundant rainfall

Hid in preparing plant food Such
fields, therefore, may not show any J
benefit of subsoiling until after two
or more years.
It rarely pays to Ptibsoll land in the
spring, and ite is never advisable to,
use the subsoil plow wJien the sub- '

?ven though the surface be fairly dry.
1'ntier such. cflnditlQL.s nf ringing the!
clay subsoil Is pressed and packed,!
when the object Is to pulverize it and
allow the fftr to act upon It. '
Kvperienre Agrees With Theory.
Not principle In agriculture has
been more thoroughly demonstrated
than tlj* value of a deep .thoroughly
pulverized seed heed.
The Romans plowed on an average
9 " Inches deep ? always three times
for a crop, an'd in stiff lands nine
tiroes. They did not call 3 Inches
"plowing:" It was only "scarifying."
The Flemish farmers were the first
to follow the better lines of agrlcul-"
ture after the dark ages. They de
voted their efforts to tierce main
points; fl) The frequent and deep,
pulverization of the soil, (2) the ac- J
cumulation of manure, and f3) the'
destruction of weeds.
? A deeper and nrore thoroughly pul
verized seed bed was thq. foundation
upon which England built an Im
proved agriculture. 'and this principle
*has been generally, accepted there for
more tho* one hundred and sixty
years, until the average production,
has increased nearly fivefold.

Bulletin No. 63 of the Georgia Ex

that "fourteen years of experiments- j
Hon have Justified certain conclusions
that msy be accepted as practically I
final." The following Is one of them: i
"Thorough break. Mg and comming-,
ling of the upper soil, gradually In- j
creasing the depth to s or 10 Inches,
using plow and harYow, is more effec
tive than deeper but less thorough ;
pulverizing."

break and broadcast-harrow land for
corn. Using a 2-horse plow and run- |

ward harrowing with large smooth- !

On the sugar : lantations of Louis

-surface drainage Is necessary. Soil
to be live and friable must be kept
out of stauding water winter and
summer.
The sugar planters of Louisiana
all use the ridge method (generally
7 feet wldo) for both sugar cane and
corn. The dead furrowB Is as deep
an p plow drawn by fpur or six heavy
mules can penetrate "at the last
breaking. Thlfc gives an average
depth of tillage Of 12 to 15 Inches.
The adoption of the ridge method
on demonstration fields In the Yazoo
Delta In 1906 increased The yield of
corn from 14 bushels per acre to 70
bushels. No fertilizer was used.
Winter Management.
In case no winter cover crop is
used the soil' should hi* disked or
harrowed two or three times during
the winter, provided It is dry enough.
Give drainage to all parts of the field.
Any cultivation done after the
deeji fall-breaking should be shallow

It Takes a Wise Man to Play^tbe Fool
In a Modern Circus.
"It takes brains to play the fool.'
So Jack Cousslns, the equestrian
director of Howe^s Great London
ShowB, said when asked concerning
clowns and clowning.
."I have* been in the circus business
all my life, and during that interest
Ing period have, like an actor, play
ed many parts. I have made a close
study of the profession, and particu
larly the clown department, for there
is nothing to a circus without
clown.
"It has come under my observation
ll-.al th* hMUllMT 41 ways
make the best clowns and produce
fun that Is not only wholesome, but
makes the man. no matter how dis
contented with the world, forget his
troubles temporarily and dissolve his
hardened features into a grin. . When
you rompafe the actor with the clown
tKe latter has a handicap regarding
his methods and hla. fa'Hlitlea of
bringing forth laughs. -
"The other has the author to thank
nine times out of ten for some 'fat'
part. Then, too, lie 4b enabted to- say
things that produce fun and which
are not his own. But take the man
behind" the whitened face and he has!
nothing to help him but his gestures. I
his nimble legs and his art of so con- 1
tgrting his face as to bring forth !
mirth.. It's real work to make them ;
laugh wlthouLany nld whatsoever ex
cepting the few items I have men-;
tioned. Furthermore, a clown must ;
be born; he Is not made or manufac-j
tured." ,
Over two score of the funniest of!
funny clowns have been engaged with ;
Howe's aggregation this season.
The date the big show will exhibit |
here is Tuesday, October 12th.
