Winter Weather Is
Aid To Farffi^f
TILLING HIS SOIL
Alternate Freezing Will Do
More Good Than All the
Tilling In the Spring
In winter, the weather will help
cultivate your soil if you give it
halt a chance.
"The alternate freezing and thaw
ing in cold weather will do more
to make a good seed bed than all
the tilling you can do in the spring.
But if your land is to get the
full benefit of this freezing and
thawing, it must be broken in the
late fall or early winter," said E. C
Blair, extension agronomist at Stale
College.
Plow now lor land to be planted
to corn and cotton. This is especial
l> important on read clay soils and
on fields where there is vegetation
to be turned under, he continued
A rough, freshly plowed
?lso absorbs and retains more mois
ture for next spring's crops ih.n
foes land with a hard compact sur
face.
Blair also pointed out that winter
freezes kil! insects in great num
|bere?-The killing action is more ef-1
; fee Live in freshly plowed land, a*
tlie insects are more exposed
In . the coastal plan, he added
many farmers do not realize the im
portance of turning under early
SUrh rirnne - .L .
such crops as soybeans, cowpeas,
velvet beans, and com and cot
Iran etnlLa
ton stalks.
If they are turned under early m
December, they will be well rot
ted in the soil by planting time
next spring. This means that the
soil will be filled with rich organic
1 "creases the amount at
riant food in the land and helps
It abaorb more moisture and rear-.:
erosion.
But this Will not be the case if
plowing is delayed until next spring
lust before time to plant corn, cor
ton and other crops.
Place Fresh Mash for Hens
la Feed Hoppers Each Day
For best results, fresh mash should
be placed in the feed hoppers eech
day for laying hens. This will ro
j?*lt in more feed being consumed
end will also give the poultry man
Jan opportunity to check on the ?
mount consumed and to regulate
feeding before any drop in egg I
production is noticeable. ft is a I
;?ood practice to add this fresh mash
?t some definite time each day as
this has a tendency to increase con
sumption. Before adding however,
the mash that remains in the hop
per from previous feeding should
be removed.
