Citamrazax, Iil,, May 23, 1873, Thore have been some oxperimonts mado by our broom-corn growers, that go to show that plowing, cithor deop or shallow, §8 & propata- tory operation for tho PLANTING OF DROOM-CORN, . isn work of much loss valuo than Is gonorally supposed, Tho test has boon made during tho post two soasons, and will bo continued through tho prosont ono; T result is, that simply har-" rowing tho soil und planting have produced an equally good crop. Tho paat two soasons have boen dry and high- 1y favorablo to this plan, ou account of theab- soncoof weedsand the vigorousgrowth of thocorn, and it la possiblo that tho prosent changed con- dition of the soll and wenther may not be a8 eatisfaotory ; but it will bo of interest to know ‘what that may be. If wocan save the labor of doep plowing, it will bo'nio small itom deductod from the total cost of culture, * There are many people who contend that * DEEP-PLOWING 18 not at all essontial to good crops, and that all wo neod in this direction is' the opening of the surfaco g0 a8 to ndmit air, moisturo, and heat ; and that tho air and moisturs. carry tho plant-" fo0d, that is 80 abundant in the atmoaphere, to the roots of plants for thelr uso; that this hoat, and air, and molsturo indtice chemical ohango thatsin:some wey ald tho growth of plants, or servo to build up their solid tissnos. No_doubt -there is much in this, and that our | deop-plowing is ofton o damago rather thaun a bonofit, It is not probable that any absolute rulo can bo laid down, but the formor must at all- timos oxorciso & sound discrotion in tho motto, It was not long since that, o spread ' MANURE on the surfaco, snd harrow it in, was conaidored lieterodox ; but to-day it has bocome sound doc- trine, and the old, tedious process of composting, rotting, snd pulverizing las becomo obsoloto, and a now doctrino is taught in ite place. Wo havo found that manuro aots o two-fold part,— ono in supplying plant-food direct to tho soil; and the other in changlng the mechanical con~ dition of tho soil so that it absorbs and holds tho plant-food that -is prepared-in that groat chemical laboratory, tha atmosphora, we have learned all this from observation, in spito of old habits and old teaching, may it not be possiblo that wo shall learn somothing in regard to tho soil and its relation to plnnt-growth ? Wo kuow that tilligo compacts tho moll; yhile laying it down to grass, it soon bocomos ‘frinble, soff, and finely comminuted. And in this wo havo tho losson of & TRUE NOTATION,— not of one kind of grain aftor nnothor, but of any kind of graln with tho grassos aud clover. Wa havo besn making up too many medical pro- soriptions in order to dootor our soil, and now o may do a good thing to look a little mora carofully into its mechanical condition, and .eoo what changes can bo mado for the better, Wo are not long in being convincod . that -water must not bo allowed to atand on tho surfaco, and this loads to undor-drains and to surface drainngo s o nocossity. I have no doubt that we shall soon bo _ able to obtaln ANNUAL OROPS OF CORN,' in nensons both wot aud dry,—for we shnll have our soil In that condition, that It can ba planted withount ro!luchlb" it toabed of mortar by the he tramping of tho toam. ; 1¥ BUALLOW PLOWING 15 just s good 24 deop plowing, or oven bettor, W shall havo gainod an fmportant fack for a wo poriod ko tho presont,—for overy farmer knowa that to turn & vory shallow furrow whon the land f.wot, will provent that packing of the- soll that is_so much feared durivg such periods, and which ia sure to injuro tho orop 'moro or lass. Bhallow plowin turha tho rubblsh under tho soil, whera it wil soon rot and bo out of the way; aud it also do- stroys tho weods, When wo sow tho small grainy vory early in_tho apring, their growth smothors out the woods ; or, in onto of a failure, the weeds smother ont the orop, And thig TEAGHES US TWO THINGE t First, tosow early; and, in tho second placo, to put In_suficlont Rood 'to ocoup all tho eur- faco, Ho that the weeds will havoe little chance to grow, and that tho surfaco bo kopt shadad, thus Droventing too rapid ovaporation, ond to’ koep tho surfaco opon to tho air, tho heat, and the molsturo. - ‘We now_put in tho oarly spring orop with tho harrow and cultivator, and lukuro & bottor yiold, and at & mich lead cost, over the old plan.
