Value ot Deep Plowing,
(Asheville Citizen.)
The farmers of Western North
Carolina are endeavoring tp feed
themselves and the thousands of
others depending upon them from
the fetilitv contained in lour
inches of soil. • Beneath these
four inches there is, dll the aver
age farm; an untouched store
house bf plant food meaning
larger cfops and therefore greatcr
luTincial returns to the tiller of
tlidt soil.- While 'I'he Citizen N
quite aware of the fact that it is
easy to preach deeper olowing,
hut somewhat harl>T lor th-
farmers to actually carry cut thi:
practice of really successful farm
ers, still we believe'it possible for
most of the farmers in this part
of the State to send their plow-
deeper into the soil than is at
present the custom; This,_ tooi
may be done without an additional
expenditure for more or heavier
•livestock, as a general poposition;
The practice of shallow plow
ing. of barely stirring the ground
for four inches, sometimes even
i on!\ a' habit. iti • ut
doubt the same hofse^power will
c.arry the plow six and seven
inches deep. True, this means
greater effort on the part of both
horses and the man behind the
plow, but if ever in the history of
the most ancient of all occupa
tions there was a time when this
extra effort was worth while,
that time is right now. The
United States is called upon not
only to feed its own people this
year,- but a gre:it part of warrin
Euiope, Wheat may he sold
fight here to Asheville mills for
almost 82 a 1 ushel. and it is said
the farmer.s of Buncombe arc j
ludding their grain for 82Ai5 and
82.10. The day when thfy-.long-
ed for dollar wheat seems a very
long time ago. Corn is keeping
pace with wheat, :ind hogs, con
sumers of niudi corn,- are ,selling
on t^e yocrit'mar'Rel for fourteen
cent;^ a pounds; Last year they
Avere selling at nine and ten cents
a pound.
Deeper plowing m.’ans larger
yields of corn, which, itfter all,
may properly be termed ihestaple
of Western North Carolina. The
wheat crop of the liiouniains is o;
; minor importance. There is how.
: pcssibly for the first time, a mix
ture of wheat flour and corn Weal
placed on thO market. Waking a
still stronger demand on the corn
crop; Underneath the four inches
of soil, which tlie farmers have
been cultivating are the essentals
of greater crops, produced at
greater efioft, it is true, and
which now bids fair to be sold at
t ' ■ ..ighest prices ever known in
this country. Fanners of Western
NorthGarolirii diould this spring,
if ever, plow eep,' f^r the de
mand to be made upon them for
food will be greater tiian ever be
fore.
