Show CLEAN UP THE rrD YARDS. Now is the best time of the year to give thfc feed yards and barn yard's a general cleaning-up. In fact, it would have been much better had the manure in these yards been scraped up, loaded into the spreader and scattered upon the wheat ground before be-fore the ground was plowed. It is surprising how a t'hin treatment of manure will ptfh the wheat rtlong. I aw a small field of wheat this season vfiich had ifoen coVered with manure last August. It was double disced and harrowed and then seeded without further cultivation. That piece of B wheat was worth going across the f township to look at. It sccird that I discing in the manure put it just 1 where it was available, and the plants made the best of it. While plowing I stubble ground is the usual practice, K yet the results from this disced field jj show that the mechanical condition I of the secd-bed is what counts. L. C. Brown. |
