with a common plow and -the re
mainder with a double disc plow.
The grain, is now well advanced and
Mr. Spencer declares that the grain
put in with a disc plow is far - su
perior to that on the ground pre
pared with an ordinary plow. The
same kind of seed was used and all
conditions were the same with the
exception of the difference in plows.
Mr. Spencer says that the disc plow
does better work than the ordinary
plow pulverizes more. Here may
be something worthy the consider
ation of our farmers.
