DON'T PLOW LAND TOO WET.
I No Matter How Big a Hurry You
1 Are Id, Wait Till It Gets Dry'
Enough.
Farmers are fast becoming
panic stricken, for fear they
will not get their cotton and corn
planted in time to make a crop.
A time like this demands cool
heads and ctreful thought.
Everybody knows that it is j
wrong to plow land when wet,
yet thousands of farmers have
been running their plows recent-1
ly, in the intervals between
rains, despite the warning given
by the slick glassy surface that :
rolled from the plowshare.
The greater danger to the 1912,
crop lies not in the lateness or!
wetness of the spring, but in the j
unbalancing of the farmers' |
judgment induced by the un
precedented weather conditions.
It is hard for an industrious
man to wait, but the wise man
will wait. Hot-headed industry
may get the crop planted sooner,
and on more furrows than cool
headed wisdom, but cool-headed
, will make more on a mellow two
furrow bed planted in May than
hot-headed will on a cloddy four
» furrow bed planted in April.
My advice to the farmers is
to keep cool, and remember the
advice of our foremost agricul
turist, Mclver Williamson:,
"Never plow land when it is,
wet if you expect ever to have 1
any use for it again."—D. R.
M Coker, Hartsville, S. C. .

Try This Experiment.
If any one wishes to prove to
himself how much more water
some soil will hold than others,
let him take three tomato cans
of the same size. With a nail
punch a half dozen holes in the
bottom of each. Then fill all
three cans, one with sand, one
with stiff clay and the other with
humus. If such a soil as the
j last cannot be had, then fill the
can with the dark, rich, top;
soil from the woods lot, aftor
! scraping away the leaves and
| other coarse materials. Pack
the soil in all of them down
j solid and put in all they will
| hold. Put these cans of soil
! some place where they will dry
[out thoroughly. A good platv is
|in the kitchen behind the stove.
| When they are all well dried,
pour a half pint of water slowly
over the top of each can of soil.
Repeat this, putting the same
amount of water on each soil,
until the water begins to trickle
from the holes in the bottom of
all the cans.
The water will begin to run
from the can containing sand
first, and if this can be placed so
that the water can be placed so
, that the water can be caught
and measured it can be told how
much less water this sand will
hold than the clay soil, and by
the same method it may be
1 seen how much more water the
' soil full of humus will hold than
; even a heavy clay soil devoid of
humus.

' commended to try Chamberlain's

small bottle was finished he was |
as well as ever," writes Mrs. H. j
