EARLY PLOWING FOR CROPS
Regardless o^‘ what crops are to
be planted those who give care-
ful thought to the needs of their
soil and the importance of fer-
til ty ma ntenance will agree that
early fall plowing will be highly
desirable this year As a general
principle of progress ve! farming,
early fall plowing -'s necessary
It will be more important this
year because of the heavy demanc
we are making upon our land thru
intensive; methods of cult va-iion
+o supply the necessary food and
maintain our homes and sustain
the nation.
Fertilizers are scarce and high
and the supply of manure, as 's
generallv the case, is quite limit-
ed. Any practice that inceases or
even maintains' the fert ’lityi will j
be highly desirable No' • better
'.ray can be devised as a rule to
make use of weeds, stalks and
ether rubbish than to turn them
under to increase the humus con-
tent of the ’soil and maintain the
fertility of the land. And the
earlier the plowing is clone after
crop's are mature and harvested the
more benefits will he derived
• uni turning under weeds and
stalks.
Of all the benefits* 1 to be deriv-
ed from early, deep and otherwise
satisfactory breaking perhaps
none is more important than the
insurance this affords against
short drouths which may be so
(destructive to crops where tire
laird is depleted of vegetable mat-
, er Such breaking increases the

There is evidence to hear out
tlie belief that loyalty w'U be
c heaper than disOoya'lty for Amer-
icans who intend to remain citi-
zens of the United States. Per-
lams those who expect to run
away to some alien country to(
a.vo'd their share of the burden
of civilization may escape the
"era.'1 tier,, bit they will ensnare
themselves in difficulties of some
ether ucirt which will be just as
bad cir wo iso. It docs not p-ay
to rum around over the world to
avoid the consequences of war.
Take them and adjust yourself
tc the circumstances.—Temple
