Be fore the stacking of the grain is over, there will rrobably be several occa sions when a half-day or more can hi used in plowing land from which the grain has already been stacked. The plowing must be done some time, and while some farmers will plead that there is plenty of time in -which to do it, they do not fully realize that if those days that might 5c worked In during the grain stack ing, etc., are not attended to at that time, they necessarily attach them selves' to the latter part of the sea ion.
