No longer should the farmer
wait for wartn settled weather
before ha begins the work o
preparing the land for crop.
It is not a question of getting
qome seed into the soil ant
then trusting to Providence to
send the ruin at jnnt the right
time and in just the propei
quantity to permit the seed to
germinate hud coax it to grow a
stalk upon which a little grain
iuny mature sufficiently to make
fair milling or feeding stuff of
bore or less valiiej usually less.
Oh no; soie.nde.hu8 chutiged the
whole plan: it has raised the
standard of the farmer and his
farm home to a ranch higher
plane where brighter hopes
-$id' him "look up and be
yond that old struggle for ex
istence plane that has driven so
htauv bright ambitious bovs
and girls from the bleak, lonely
and unattractive farm home to
the alluring music aud glitter
of the city. But we will refrain
from the too often sad tale that
is not rarely told;
Science bids its go out into
the field with an idea that
means business with a pnipose
We begin stirring the soil early
in the Spring to save tho moist
ure. This moisture is needed
to assist us in preparing the
soil that we may obtain a seed
Hud root bed that is most fuvor
able lo quick germination and
rapid early growth. There is no
one thing that is so Utile under
stood and yet of so vital impor
tance as that correct or ideal
physical condition of the soil.
The possible yield of many a
field of corn oas, and other
crops has been reduced half 01
three quarters by allowing a
portion of the moisture to
escape in early Spring, not un-
frequently so much that when
the plowing is done the soi
