The Morrow county Budget says;
Small farms pay the best because they
are better farmed. If a man has 160
acres he takes pains to cultivate well,
and as a Consequence of deeper cultiva
tion and more thorough tillage his cnop
yields well, while the larger farm hot so
well plowed, will dry out and suffer loss
if their comes a dry season like the
present.: The Budget should prove its
theory by observation, and get the ex
perience of different farmers in Morrow
county to judge by. If he can show
that where land was deeply plowed and
well harrowed and pulverized the crop
was good, when it failed in other loca
tions, he will be of ' great service in
teaching the necessity for deep plowing.
He will make his farmers more careful
and secure good crops for the future tor
