Show Filling Ditches and Gullies. It is not a good plan to plow bare soil in ditches and gullies which are not wanted in fiedls. First fill them with brush, briars, straw, corn stalks and any kind of rubbish and then plow in the soil. The rubbish will not only catch and hold the soil plowed in, but it will catch and hold soil washed into the field from other sources. When the trash decays and the gullies become filled, these places will become level and the deepest and richest spots in the fields. |
