FINDLAY Furniture Dealer Funeral Director % Tlie Imporlance of Early Fall Plowing (Experimen'.al Farm Notes) In a new county such as northern Ontario, it is imp cative that seeding be (lone early in the spring to ensure good maturity, a id unless a part of the necejsary wo; ;< in the preparation of a good seed-! fd is started early in the fall, there ^s always danger of some of the worl; being left for the next spring. The first ste;) necessary ij, natur- ally, that of plowing and this oper- ation should, whenever possible, be done in late summer as soon- as poss- ible, after th • hay is cut. At the dominion Experimental Station, Ka. uskasing, it has been found that Ir.nd which has been plow- ed early in the fall and given one or two diskin %. works much better in the .spring, with a finer and more friable se d-bed, and gives better yields than land plowed late in the fall or in the spring, particularly the latter. Weather conditions, such as wetting and drying, freezing and thawing, etc., appear to have a very beneficial effect on the physical con- ditions of heavy clay soil. It was found that land plowed early and re- ceiving one or two di.ikings in the fall gives 15 per cent more yield. Considering the advantages of fall plowing, it is imperative that the far- mers take advantage of every oppor- 1 tunity during the late summer and autumn in order to complete this important feature of the work before the ground freezes and winter sets in.
